Let's be honest, both groups are lyrically trash, ATL groups that represent a certain sound (Crunk/Trap), but Migos have lasted a lot longer. how?
Most of you would probably say it's Having Quavo feature everywhere but if I'm not wrong YYT also did a lot of features with everyone at the time.

How are Migos lyrically trash? They aren't the greatest lyricists but have plenty of dope lines and witty references you wouldn't expect from them.

They know how to make catchy songs, always have dope production, and ATL is winning so they're winning too...

OP has never heard a Migos or Yin Yang Album/mixtape, obviously. Both groups LYRICALLY shyt on what y'all nikkas listening to today.

Compared to the majority of music out here right now, Yin Yang Twins were definitely lyricists...plz don't judge them by the radio (club) tracks because you have no clue what you're talking about

Nobody gives a shyt about lyrics but even then I wouldnt call them trash.

But overall talent seperates them and being ahead of the culture. These are nikkas other rappers tried to be like.

:comeon: you can't name 3 groups who had a bigger run in the 00s. migos ain't even close to the ying yang twins level.

:wow:
Ying Yang Twins lyrically was like Nas and Jay joining forces in 94/96.

Everbody had to step their pen game up after United States of Atlanta dropped. :picard:
Yeah while :flabbynsick: deep was selling their soul getting g-unit tattoos and trying to do anything to break from being regional, ying yang twins were effortlessly churning out hit after hit.
