MIGOS- Whaaat?!
Migos just started off a weird 2017 with possibly one of the most impressive albums ever. Culture is their second studio album that was released on January 27, 2017. I expected the singles they released before the album to be the only good songs on the album, but I was wrong.
Who are the Migos?
Migos is a hip hop group formed in 2009 consisting of Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff. Even more intriguingly, they are all related. Quavo is Takeoff's uncle and Offset is Quavo's cousin. Talk about a family affair. Their first breakthrough into the mainstream world came with their song "Versace" which was produced by Zaytoven. This single hit number 99 on the Billboard 100. Drake was even featured on the official remix.
I will admit, I thought Migos was a one-and-done type of group. I didn't see potential in them when I heard Versace and basically forgot about them. Yet somehow without me knowing, they crept into my playlist!
My Listening Experience
The album started off weird, with "Culture" featuring DJ Khaled. I say it was weird because it sounded like this song was something that would be released before the album. They say "Culture album coming soon" but it's already out?
Then comes a string of phenomenal songs. "T-shirt" is probably my favorite song at the moment. All members in Migos used the same flow which fit perfectly on this simple yet beautiful beat. This song as well as "Call Casting" are both bump in the whip very nice.
I didn't really like "Bad and Boujee" at first, but now I'm like...
Another song I really enjoyed was "What the Price." It had an electric guitar intro (I think), and more of a singing hook. I tend to like a rap/singing song so it was almost destiny for me to love this song. It was a wavy song.
"Brown Paper Bag," "All Ass," and "Kelly Price" were 🔥 🔥 🔥.
"2 Chainz verse on "Deadz" was pretty good in terms of keeping up the energy of the song!
"Out Yo Way" is like Migos's version of a trap love song. It had me wanting to feel emotional but turn up at the same time?! This was my mood during the song
Overall, if you need to reinvent your playlist so you can get the aux passed to you, just download Culture. You won't regret it.
