Review: Are The Migos Doing It for The Culture?

The majority of the hip-hop community loves Migos. They are one of the few constants in rap music. Take Off, Offset and Quavo have dropped their official 2nd album, Culture and it's definitely more than I expected.

Are Migos albums and mixtapes that different? No. However, I will say that the labeling of the "Mumble Rap Era" has forced some of your most hated artist to step up to a level that has made their music infectious and undeniable. The beats are hard. The words are clear; and there are even a few clever lines throughout Culture.

There are some true bangers on this album. "T-Shirt" "Get Right Witcha" and "Deadz" featuring 2 Chainz will stay on repeat. I expect all of these songs to be in every DJ's playlist. We're at the point where any DJ could do a 30 minute Migos set and that would be the highlight of the night. I'm sure "All Ass" is going to ring off in a lot of strip clubs this year. "Call Casting" is a dope joint. They bring the bars out on this one. Definitely in my top 3 on this project.

All the above  added with the Childish Gambino stamped "Bad and Boujee" equals the Migos running the clubs for another summer. It's not a fluke. These guys are the "Turnt Gawds" of the game.

I was expecting DJ Khaled to say too much, but he gives just enough on the "Culture" intro. Guccie Mane makes a solid appearance on "Slippery". It's always good when Gucci works with the young guys he inspires.

We went from thinking "Versace" was pure trash to loving "Bad and Boujee". Like it or not, Migos will be around for as long as they want to be. Quavo is becoming the front man, but to be honest, they will always be the ultimate example of strength in numbers. Migos are some of the prominent culture creators of this era. They talk the street life and the dope game like hundreds of our other favorite rappers. They also bring the turn up and hip-hop has been about rocking the party since Kool Herc was in the park. That is what hip-hop has always been about. Respect to Migos. Give Culture a chance.

[Video] Migos: "Hannah Montana"

At long last, one of the most ridiculous turn up jams of 2013 has a video. Migos' party-drug-anthem-disguised-as-a-Disney-character blew up throughout the summer, giving Atlanta hip-hop duo Migos their second certified hit after the similar-sounding "Versace" got the Drake treatment en route to topping the radio charts. The video is essentially what you could expect by listening to the song once, with the pair enjoying themselves in the presence of plenty of beautiful women. At first listen, I'll admit I thought this was the worst song I'd ever heard, a few months later, it's a pretty good time to turn up to. Check out the video below, complete with a brief snippet from the "Twerk Remix" version of the video.

[Video] Migos: "Versace"

Well, if you were wondering if Migos' video would live up to their musical ability, this video for "Versace" should set you at ease. The song is a repetitive banger that gained popularity because of it's simplicity and catchy(?) hook (versace, versace, versace, versace) and it doesn't seem as though they thought much out of the box when it came to the visual. Migos is in gold. In a mansion that's not theirs. With lots of scantily clad women around. Oh, and wearing Versace. They did manage to fit some of "Hannah Montana" in there too, perhaps because it is almost literally the same beat. The quick cut features a slew of white girls doing their best Miley Cyrus. Watch at your own risk. Versace!
