Look, they're all really talented, but people are probably watching because they're curious about the hype. That's why I checked them out. However, you must admit, this is probably one of the weakest debuts YG has ever released. Those girls deserved a better song to begin with, but they were stuck with some generic sounding, lackluster, out of date sounding song that was probably meant for BP, but given the situations going on, was passed down to them.
