Roses are red...
Violets are blue...
The unnies decided on which song should finish last...
And sadly, they chose you...

Unfortunately finishing dead last is Young Posse's XXL. I'm so sorry, @thommyh unnie! I know you're gonna see this immediately after you wake up FFFFFFF! I promise I didn't plan this!
XXL is the title track of Young Posse's second mini album. It was written and composed by Kiggen and Rick Bridges. XXL didn't enter the Circle Digital Chart but it did appear at number 82 on the component Download Chart.
Young Posse... is definitely an interesting group... which cannot be said about a lot of other fifth generation acts, no tea, no shade. If you told me DSP Entertainment - the mastermind behind beloved girl groups KARA, Rainbow and April - would debut a hip-hop girl group, I would have laughed at you. But yeah, that's exactly what happened. I don't think I'll ever recover from my first listen of their debut single, Macaroni Cheese. The trauma... I still feel it until today!
But starting with XXL, I think these girls and their music started to grow on me. I don't think XXL is out-of-this-world amazing or something, by the way. But I think it's fun and full of personality and I like that it's different from what everyone else is serving in K-Pop these days. God knows we need some variety! I would've loved if Ate That was here instead of XXL only because I think it's Young Posse's best song yet. Although I fear that one would've performed just as bad as XXL, kii! Oh well!

THE JURY'S THOUGHTS:
@boom bazooka joe (1): "Went through this entire song list shocked that there wasn't an absolute abomination but HERE we are. This is a parody and honestly everyone involved should be ashamed dddd. Shame we never heard "Santa Claus Is Coming To Hood" though." [Slicey: Right? We need to hear that misunderstood masterpiece!]
@ohnostalgia (1): "I need to apologize to all the XG "hip hop" tracks omg."
@eccentricsimply (2): "I think the criticism they receive is warranted, but I also I just think they don't sell this too well. I'm not going to be an hypocrite, I know some other groups do this forced hip hop aesthetic, but they look funny at best, these girls just look... embarrassing dddd I'm sorry to them, I guess, but it's not a good concept for them and this is not a good song either. Also the music video is just. It certainly is a choice."
@love choerry motion (2): "Jesy Nelson, please lock up your Tostitos and microwaved cheeze dip" [Slicey: Jesy WISHES she has half the swag of these girls!!]
@savilizabeths (2): "I can't decide if I like this better or worse than Macaroni Cheese. These girls randomly performed at a Kpop festival in my city and they were pretty cute, just not for me."
@Vixen (2): "I guess they deserve some points for the…novelty? For the…erm…""originality"" of the MV ? But also…the song is absolutely terrible, so all those points are taken right back off xo"
@aux (3): "I'm so sorry [REDACTED], I know you love this song but mama... It is shit from a butt."
@leedlelee... (3): "I know K-Pop has always taken influence from Motown, hip-hop, and R&B but this is giving minstrelsy a little…"
@Salami (3): "This is kind of cringe." [Slicey: You know you're doomed when even @Salami doesn't fuck with your song...]
@clowezra (3.5): "I actually like the sound they’re riffing on here but it’s feeling culturally insensitive here kids."
@Joli Chat (4): "is this the horrible song everyone’s talking about in the commentary tea? It has to be, right?"
@mika (5): "The bass is nice and the overall retro vibes too"
@roblognick (6): "The video is like some blockbuster movie, so it makes sense that the song is average at best."
@Serg. (8): "Ahjuma cameo just elevated this song"
@Cotton Park (9): "badass"
@ultraviolet (9): "Ppl were so THREATENED by them they didn’t let Santa come to HOOD lol xoxox #HUNGRYTOUR #XXL #YOUNGPOSSEGANG #ITSGIVINGATETHATSIS #4+4ISWHAT?!."
@askew (10): "Ouu XG don't make that face." [Slicey: FFFFFF leave them ALONE!]
@soratami (10): "Definitely my favourite discovery of the whole rate, it’s amazing how they basically invented classic hip hop here."
@thommyh (10): "You're not gonna get the song the first time you hear it. After the second and third time, you're gonna be like, 'Whoa, what is this?'. It sounds nothing... nothing like anything that's out right now. Um... you know, the lyrics are very... um..." [Slicey: Again, I'm so sorry, unnie!]
@ysev (10): "I just know that ODB is looking down on them from heaven with a smile on his face. Say about Young P*ssé what you want but they really have their own lane that no other group is in." [Slicey: I feel sad that they're changing their concept for their next comeback...]
