How did Migos avoid becoming the next Ying Yang Twins?

Migos style makes them unique in the fact that for the modern day, it's more or less "their" style.

Plus the tone of their 3 voices and skill level is unique within their little group. It means each of them is gonna have their own little fanbase. It's gonna stretch out their longevity.

Yin Yang was a novelty act that was riding a wave. They switched it up with The Whisper Song and bounced back a bit when they was falling off.

But when the wave they was riding subsided, so did they.

I actually bought this album. Only liked one song.

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.
you just said nobody gives a fukk about lyrics but talent separates them... :dwillhuh:

but the mygos talent is lyrics n flows :dead:

otherwise they wouldn't be the influencers that they are to the game. I don't like their music but they can rap even east coast heads give them props. in a saturated game they have managed to find their own lil lane.

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.

personally feel like migos dun passed ying yang twings a long time ago

how many people will even remember yingnag?

bad and boojee - look at my dab - Versace - hanna montana

migos on a whole different level, take away the main hits and they still do damage.

Certain posts like this pretty much tell you a person's age, or relative newness to rap. Ying Yang Twins were churning out hit after hit both on their own and due to features for a good 5 year period. All their singles were massive and were felt everywhere without the aid of social media. That's not to slight Migos though, as I regularly listen to them, bought their album and have never bought a Ying Yang Twin album.

exactly and another person using numbers to shyt on ying yang while not even knowing they had two plat albums. i feel like then it was harder for songs to chart cause people were still buying them where as now streaming counts towards a songs chart position.

ying yang twins had hits
