Music: Migos: Yes or No?

[Trap Jesus]

Arguably the biggest new rap group that has really blown up in the last 6 months or so. They're known for their trap beats, triplet rhyme scheme, and ridiculously heavy use of ad libs. While they have a pretty strong critical reception, I find people seem pretty split on them, especially among hip-hop fans. What does HF think?

I'm a hip hop fan who likes them, but I totally understand why some don't.

 

[F L Y E R S]

I like some of their songs, but Fight Night I listen to constantly on my ipod. Great beat.

 

[Xelebes]

Really poor beats, I find. Bass is entirely comprised of awkward tapping on the flattest patches (Deadz is an exception on the bass part), the sequencing of the drums is slightly better but using very basic sample packs. . . dry. Pads used are very basic but sometimes have an attempt at dynamics.

Content of lyrics are not particularly interesting (which can be a very common problem in hiphop) so all I'm left is with the flow and the flow is not my jam.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

No. They're funny but that's about it. Very run of the mill.

 

[OzzyFan]

I'm not a so called fan of Hip Hop, but I do enjoy listening to the likes of Nas/Outkast/Run DMC/Kanye West occasionally.

That said, I have no idea why Migos is popular, from their beats to their lyrics, I see nothing worthy of mainstream or underground success.

 

[Mikeaveli]

The only interesting thing about them is their flows and that quickly gets old over the course of a 60 minute album. I have no desire to listen to Culture again

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Not a hip-hop fan - Don't like Migos

 

[vdB]

No. Get this non-thread worthy trash outta here. They're no where near as big as you claim.

What hip-hop group is bigger than Migos right now?

How does this even deserve its own thread?

Take this **** to the Official Hip-Hop thread.

Seriously. You guys with terrible music taste have your own thread already. Leave us alone.

All rap is just guys talking about banging hoes and shooting their guns.

I shouldn't have to explain this to long time posters, but you two lil babies know you don't have to enter into and post in every thread on this forum?

If we can have a thread for blink-182 i'd say this is fine lol

That would be the metal thread, actually.

I'm a big fan of Culture, probably one of my favourite albums of the year so far. One of my favourite things about them as a group is the way they use ad-libs and background singing to add to the instrumental. Not really a group that can be fully assessed until you've listened to the album on a good car stereo or sound system.

I wish Lil Uzi Vert's verse on Bad and Boujee didn't exist though.

 

[Mantis]

I like hip-hop but these guys are just terrible

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I wouldn't say I'm a Migos fan, but I do like some of their stuff here and there.

I love Quavo on features though.

Agreed with every word in this post.

I like Migos a lot, have for awhile. Lol at how hurt people seem to be getting at this thread. You guys are hilarious.

 

[Gains]

Was a big fan in 2013 & 2014. I still listen to their old mixtapes, but I really want Quavo to go solo.
