He does not disappoint on “Slippery.” Also, there is a DJ Khaled feature but really, who cares. Ever since getting out of jail, Gucci has gone on a musical quest, featuring on and putting out a number of party anthems as well as multiple mixtapes. Finally, there is the living icon, the East Atlanta Santa, the Landmower Man, Guwop, the Trap God, La Flare-Gucci f**king Mane. Then there is 2 Chainz on “Deadz,” who possesses the magical ability to bless any song that is lucky enough to feature his talent. For one, you have Travis Scott on “Kelly Price” who, despite how you may feel about his music, often does well on other people’s tracks. However, the other features on Culture are certainly worth it. As was mentioned, Lil’ Uzi’s was certifiably terrible, which is too bad because usually his weird croon is a dependable asset on a track.
Speaking of things that are a shame, let us talk about features, or more appropriately, a feature. “Out Yo Way,” the last track on the album, has some of the trappings of a romantic ballad à la Migos, which is a shame given that love was invented by the illuminati to keep us complacent.
There is also something which sounds suspiciously like a love song. This is a good thing for a couple reasons: Offset is awesome, and, while Quavo hooks are great, it can be nice to change things up a bit.Ĭontent remains essentially the same in that sense that it’s all about selling drugs, making/spending money, and having extravagant amounts of sex. Certainly not a shoddy curriculum vitae and their talent shows on “T-Shirt.” Texas producer Cardo contributed the beat for “Deadz,” which is a song worthy of at least two flame emojis, due in no small part to its godly 2 Chainz feature.Īgain, Migos stays true to form by leaving Quavo on the majority of the hooks, although in “Bad and Boujee,” Offset takes the refrain.
“T-Shirt” was co-produced by Atlanta duo Nard & B, who have previously worked with the likes of Future, Ty Dolla $ign, and 2 Chainz. However, on several tracks, the Black Beatles experiment with some new collaborations. The production does not depart much from the usual – Murda Beatz, Metro Boomin, 808 Mafia, and Zaytoven all figure prominently. Also the album artwork includes explosions, doves, a Lamborghini, a pagoda and thousands of dollars worth of designer clothing. The group is firing on all cylinders following a stellar 2016.Ĭulture has all the Migos album essentials: some solid features, Quavo’s auto-tuned warble on the hooks, and the Migos flow. “Bad and Boujiee” also received a sale bump following the award acceptance speech by fellow rapper Donald Glover who had the trio on the pilot of his show, Atlanta, and praised the song. The group received a great amount of press over the eight month custody that breakout member of the group, Offset, served in 2015. Culture is the group’s sophomore effort following their 2015 studio debut Yung Rich Nation. The album comes off the heels of Migos supposedly signing a management deal with Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint which ultimately didn’t pan out. The other major singles, “T-Shirt,” “What the Price,” and “Call Casting” were successful in their own right, albeit not to the monumental extent of “Bad and Boujee,” which was a source of much-needed solace in this time of cheese-flavored fascism. That got to the top ten in the charts, despite having what is arguably the worst Lil Uzi Vert (known for songs like “Money Longer”) verse of all time. The album’s hit single, “Bad and Boujee,” was good enough to make every drunken upper-middle class white kid sing their mispronounced refrain - “bad and boushieeeeeee” - at parties, in clubs, and really wherever the youth congregate. Rejoice, dear reader, for Migos has blessed us with a new album.Īptly called Culture, this is the latest album from a group which has done so much to change the tone of contemporary popular rap. A steadfast cultural icon has reminded us there might still be hope for the future. However, a light has appeared, one which might serve as a beacon of hope for the righteous. It is generally pretty bad, to put it mildly and the next four years look to be progressively darker, with little promise of any real brightness on the horizon. Things are becoming increasingly dire as the Annoying Orange and his goose-stepping legion of invertebrate pus-sacks steadily chip away at the rights of every conceivable minority.
