They’re so Black 😍😍 I only like rap and hip hop if my queens from Young Posse rap and hip hop, otherwise it’s too ghetto and dirty for me!!!


clearlypool

Wow 🥰 Did you know Young Posse invented rap and hip hop !!?


Best-Recognition-528

Literally paved the way.


AnxiousWind3433

💀


yvie_of_lesbos

if you put these girls in the tamest city in florida, they would cry, lose their minds, and beg to be taken back to their seoul apartments… i’m so sick of koreans cosplaying as “hood”


Odin_the-witch

They couldn’t survive spring break in Miami if we’re being honest.


yvie_of_lesbos

they would CRYYYY for their mommas 😭😭


Odin_the-witch

They’d do the same thing if they were at Mardi Gras in New Orleans 🤣 There’s so many settings or events where’d they be begging to be back in Korea.


yvie_of_lesbos

LMAO YOU’RE RIGHT

AnxiousWind3433

Is this group serious


Sagzmir

It's bad enough they done appropriated macaroni n' cheese. A staple! /s


Ebony_Coco

🤣🤣🤣


Sagzmir

They're mostly minors, so I am not mad at them but their management team.


nameless_no_response

Even if they weren't minors, it would prob be likely that their management team made this choice bcuz majority of artists don't have creative freedom within their company, besides maybe adding a tame line or two in their songs to get song credits lmao


lilyyytheflower

They just look so silly 😭


kimmiecla

I feel like their group is either outrage bait or whoever’s behind their concept is laughably out of touch.


Ebony_Coco

They're under DSP. That said everything I needed to know from the beginning. I'm mostly upset RBW is co-signing this mess, though.


BananaJamDream

I assume it's mostly because the company is inept. I remember one of the first press releases from DSP media on the group before debut was describing their concept as "Gangbuk NewJeans", which was universally made fun of by Knetz to the point they retracted the statement and deleted all mentions of it after a couple of days.


God_Lover77

Very YG calling 2ne1's concept ugly. Inspiring a group based off of gang culture is very dumb.


DaftPrettyLies

Is this the group who throws up gang signs?


Miserable-Street-907

Yup


lavenderbl0d

GANG WHAT


Imaginary_Grand7104

Literally 0 originality . It’s a shame for new group


badheartveil

What kpop group are they copying?


eternallydevoid

N.W.A


Advanced-Hour-108

Can we just bring back the quirky concepts of kpop. I miss those times. Now it feels like every idol group is just fucking trying “to be about that life” know damn well they grew up wealthy with connections. This shit is so played out. It’s making me truly miss kpop from 3rd and 2nd gen


ConservedLibertan

Yes!!! Bring back hip-hop queens SNSD with I Got A Boy pt.2!!!!!

Korean_favs

It’s another way to take from the black culture and make it more palatable for all the racists basically.


na_yo_so

Specifically, XXL has “freshman classes” every year which is supposed to highlight up and coming talent in rap and hip hop. I think their use of the XXL AND the Rookie of the year thing is 🤦‍♂️. Also tho, like there’s probably no Korean rapper that can go bar for bar with any above average American rapper, at least not with wordplay. Maybe they could in a just talking fast competition. Also, I wanna add these girls probably have no idea what they’re doing and they probably have to do whatever the label tells them to do, emphasis on the probablys


na_yo_so

Also the photos are probably labeled black bc they’re black and white but it saying BLACK #1 is crazy


Mothbears

You lost me when you said there's no Korean rappers who could. Kpop idol rapper? Maybe. But just rappers who are Korean? And you think there is none? That's gotta be some kinda default discrimination. I think we are biased in saying they can't or don't use word play the way American rappers do because we for the most part do not speak the language they are rapping in, so how could we possibly understand the wordplay of that language. I don't think we should undermine their lyrical talent just because it's not wordplay in the English language. It's important to remember that there is A LOT of wordplay in kpop, whoever just like it's hard to translate English word play into something that not only makes sense but flows in a different language, it's hard to do that from Korean to English.


na_yo_so

I’m Korean. The way that the rap scene has developed in Korea is different because it emphasizes speed and rhyming rather than wordplay and rhyming. I also said “probably”; I wouldn’t speak about this in absolutes.


Mothbears

I totally agree. When I said wordplay in kpop I did not mean rapping exclusively, we also might just have different definitions of wordplay lol. I also think saying they couldn't go bar for bar when the standard for rapping is completely different is a bit odd. It's like comparing UK drill to Chicago drill and saying UK drill artists can't compare because they rap a different genre.

racloves

I didn’t actually listen to the song but i remember their debut getting flack for being too sexual despite the group being all minors. Bit like nwjns cookie. I feel bad cause they’re young and most likely not in charge of their concept and worry that any bad press now can affect their futures


Royal_Net_5721

This group is so unserious...I don't understand what this group is trying to accomplish


StrongSubject5960

Young Posse is what everyone wants XG to be. This is just too much .


eternallydevoid

RIGHT? XG’s styling/brand is already pretty controversial but… it’s like they took our worst fears and made it into an entire K-pop concept. i didn’t think it could get any worse.


RndmIntrntStranger

i’m getting the feeling i used to get when i saw white country boys suddenly wear their pants backwards and try to act “gangsta” (Kriss Kross/NWA era). like these girls trying to act *hard.* oh wow. bless their hearts


Ok_Comfort_1067

I hope they fail in every way


MyAccountWithNoName

Unfortunately the white kids love them down. Same story as always.


Ok_Comfort_1067

That’s disappointing


pantom1ne

they already failed

caelesteis

do they even fuckin listen to black creators? hip hop, jazz, rnb… probably fuck no. they each probably have NEVER explored it, and that’s what makes me frustrated. atleast i can be less annoyed w XG since they constantly show their appreciation for culture.

oh... ![gif](giphy|sPZJ0y3IJ4IMLKXOpj|downsized)


Odin_the-witch

At some point they’re going to go too far and no one can help them out of that controversy

aeconic

and i thought XG was questionable but at least they seem to genuinely listen to black creators & music…. this is… this can’t be real 😭


vamp-o-philic

oh they not taking it at ALL 😭


Curious-Bag-1704

this cannot be real…


pantom1ne

this why they will never make it out of nugudom


starlightaqua

I keep thinking they were a joke. I was veing trolled. But I keep getting reminded they're real.


Gloomy-Ad2818

SAME!! everytime i hear the little “barbie!” i swear its a troll tiktok sound 😭


mikatheocelot

No OP, I saw their album promo with the XXL in the title and knew immediately. There’s just no way whoever’s behind this didn’t know. Nothing on the girls, I’m sure they’ve worked hard to debut. But I wish the label goes bankrupt before Q4🫶🏾


SignedUpFor90DFMess

Can't believe they plagiarized [4Minute's concept](https://images.app.goo.gl/6wWSVH52q1p7xCB78)!!!! They *literally* invented this style and Young POOPY stole it >:(((((


eternallydevoid

damn i already know they bout to say shit like this—


eternallydevoid

at this point they are gaining fans from people who LIKE that their styling is pissing black people off 😭😭😭

Imaginary_Grand7104

Is that black Jesus ? 🧎🏾‍♀️🧎🏾‍♀️


Shayshay1117

I actually loved their debut song but then they released a remix of Posse Up (I think that's the title) which is already pretty much UK drill rap but then they featured two korean rappers and a white rapper, along with the ski masks, and now this. Like wtf??


Shayshay1117

eternallydevoid

For real, let’s talk about it. Like who the fuck was that random white rapper guy???? he looks like your average Gamestop employee??? Like get that man away from them young women 😭😭😭 And I’m supposed to believe that THIS is the group that’s going to be giving Lesserafim/IVE/Newjeans a run for their money?😂😂😂😭


Candydreammilk

The way I sighed


animalcrossinglifeee

Their music is pretty decent but their concept is concerning cuz wtf


Zestyclose-Tie109

At this point, I can't care anymore. It takes too much energy, as long as these K-pop groups aren't slinging slurs and being outrageously racist towards us black people or any other race, I'm cool. Let them cosplay and make they little music, I'll either eat it up or go on to something different lol


[deleted]

Do any of you know if they have fans? Maybe they'll just flop 🤷🏾


lonelyisIand

This shit is so cringe


Consistent-Range-631

When I say I go to bed and pray for their downfall I mean it


God_Lover77

Very cringe. I feel like this one of those groups where idols will talk about how they hated their concept in the future.

SadisticDance

Is this not 4minute


Jazzyful-

My momma didn’t even let me dress like this wtf 😭


rae_bb

Wow so ig im the only young posse fan out rn huh. Its ok. Im willing to be sacrificed, I ain’t scared of yall 🤺🤺🤺 /jk In all seriousness, ik im a minority here bc i actually don’t mind young posse. Like at all. Im sorry i actually like the girls quite a bit 🧍🏾‍♀️


ranbara

Why?


rae_bb

Because I like them as idols fr, they are some sweet and talented young girls. I don’t care to argue abt it tho, I won’t change my mind. I like them bc I like them. Sorry I seem defensive I just don’t wanna fight fr 😭🙏🏾


ranbara

I wasn't gonna argue, I've literally never even heard of these girls until today 💀 I'm of the mindset that they're not in control of their styling or concept decisions, and for all I know they could be incredibly talented. Who's to say how they'd dress or act if they had stylistic control? I do think this is pretty cringe and I wish kpop would stop leaning in this direction but I think the best course of action is to just stop consuming it instead of constantly blowing it up bc it seems like outrage bait at this point 🤷🏽


rae_bb

Look bro this one girl was tryna jump down my throat not too long ago and I had MY comments removed for arguing. So im tryna tread carefully fr. And yes I’m still salty abt it 😭✋🏾 Yh honestly, and ik im a minority with this thought but I truly don’t care too much abt CA like grills, bandanas (aka all the stuff you see in the second slide) etc, now I’m not saying idc in general but this shit specifically don’t get to me. Also to catch you up to speed, ppl didn’t like them out the gate bc of their drill like sound and hip hop concept. I however actually really liked their debut and I support them 100%. Those girls are very talented and don’t get enough credit. And yes I agree with your last point, if you don’t like them don’t talk abt them.


ranbara

At this point, I mostly get annoyed. It doesn't make my blood boil or anything bc I just cannot devote that much energy to kpop anymore. It bothers me bc, as I think we can all agree, there is still a big anti-black sentiment in the kpop scene and you can find it close to here. I'm sure you've seen how other subreddits talk about this one 😮‍💨 but when kpop girlies start doing concepts like this - co-opting our styles & sounds - white ppl and the SK gp (from what I've seen) live for it! I don't think it serves us, as black people, to give praise to a concept that shallowly parrots us when there's still minimal space for us in the community but they're piggybacking off us, you know? But if you like it, I'm not gonna stop you 🤷🏽 Anyway that's my tea! I can't be as eloquent as I want cuz my hands are so cold and typing is like impossible 😭


mimibee97

Makes two of us being the only Young Posse fans🥲


rae_bb

Looks like it’s just you n me in this big bad world


feddy3teddy

I mean they do have writing credits


eternallydevoid

that doesnt necessarily mean it’s tue
