that's debatable. and what other groups are there though? migos the hottest group by default.

Basically. YYT were a hot act in the middle of many hot acts. Migos are a hot act of like what, 2 other hot groups :russ:??? Also, people seem to forgot that Migos were left for dead at one point, and Bad & Boujee brought them back. They were on life support heading into Rich nikka Timeline (which they were rapping their asses off, but the tape was pretty mediocre), went back to the drawing board, then ended up striking gold with Bad & Boujee.

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

come on now. and no one ever looked at yingyang twins and wanted to be them

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



"Deeeeeer duummm dum dum.........deeeeeh, daaaah, dehhhhhhhh, dumm dumm dummmmmmmmm" x Repeat until the chorus.
:sas2:
And I fukks with Migos more than I did the Yin Yangers, but ain't got no song they made up to this point that can top that juggernaut and this is without the social media push from actors/rappers/musicians referencing hit songs and making it into audio snippets or challenges which in turn bring it to a broader public.

Plus I'm sure the large majority of folk that writing off the Ying Yang Twins prolly just remember Get Low and the "Ayi Yi Yi Yi Yi" song.:lolbron:

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.


Ying Yang Twins didnt have fans:childplease:

They just had bytches who liked they singles,Migos actually have a fanbase and people who want to hear them....who the hell would download a ying yang twin mixtape just to hear them nikkas rap:mjlol:

Yqll domt know wtf yall talkin about,the comparison is a disgrace to the Migos...domt ever make this comparison again,compare em to the greats now:banderas:

The disrespect to the ying yang twins won't be tolerated. Their singles were huge, some of their songs crossed over into pop culture. Honestly they introduce me a brooklyn kid to "twerking" and southern club culture when I was a teen. They have platinum records under their belt. For what they were, they were entertaining and dope. Plus the Lil Jon production and co sign helped them too.

But the disrespect to the Migos won't be tolerated either. I dunno how many times must I say this: for those who think the Migos can't spit, they never ever listen to their music. From YRN to No Labels 2 to Culture, how can you not see these cats be rapping their asses off. Stop with the lunacy.

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.

They not lames in real life...
