There's some joints even on the new Lox album, some am fukking with. This album on the other hand I wish I could erase from my memory forever, horrible, might be 1 or 2 decent beats but that's about it.

Favorite track is t-shirt. might be my favorite migos track too. I LOVE the beat and their choppy flows work really well. Nice group synergy as well.

 

[Newzz]

I aint even read this thread yet, but I already know to say you swag less ass nikkas hating on the Migos


This shyt go hard

 

[ReggieFlare]

Really only like T-shirt, Call Casting, and Deadz.

I wish these dudes would stay away from the singing/autotuning and slow tracks. They're at their best when their just rapping. Takeoff gets the memo...they all really should just stick to that format.

In the strip club for sure

Takeoff sounds so much like Gunplay on Out Yo Way - how did I never notice that before

So far Culture has been fantastic for me, it shows real maturity in their sound and shows they're able to make a focused, condensed project with real intent. I think they did a semi-effective job of conveying the culture of Atlanta through the lens' of the Migos and the trap scene, and retaining the typical confidence and self -indulgence we get on a Migos project. Nothing revolutionary, but it's definitely something that is great to see after their sort of lull with Yung Rich Nation etc. Culture along with the likes of Rodeo, DS2 and Jeffery really show the emergence of promising times for commercial albums in trap music.

The album itself has incredibly experimental production for the Migos - dabbling in more modern, spacy instrumentals that compliment their eccentric vocal personalities and giving room for their blitzkrieg of adlibs. I really like this change, it's refreshing to see after years of Zaytoven's trap orchestra (although there are exceptions to this on Culture, a few have this sound but it isn't in access and adds well into the Atlanta culture theme they have going)

The performances by Quavo, Takeoff and Offset mix together and act as a cohesive and relentless force throughout their songs, verse duties and hook duties allocated equitably. This is the first Migos project where I can say this is true, the allocation of duties was a major problem for me on Yung Rich Nation as Quavo dominated and Offset was nearly out of the picture, Takeoff used for verses almost exclusively. But they really took note of this inequality and fixed it for this project which I appreciate a lot.

Some gripes I do have is at some points it does get a little underwhelming and too much singing is used, and sometimes they sound a lot like Travis Scott, hell even their cover looks like PUTPs art. However the quality is good and I like Migos so I can brush those off to the side . Also it takes time to grow on me like everything else so we'll see if those criticisms hold up for me.

First off this is a culture based on digging in the crate and knowing your history.
So, casuals are going to have to submit and concede to the culture in some form.
When I wrote all these southern based reviews it was in the hopes.
eventually the south would gain their own skillset rhyme wise.
Not just lift fellowship flows reprocessed by ruthless with bone on autotune.
It was obvious Crunk was ATL biting Memphis triple 6.
Then, ti biting project pat on trap music mixed with do technical skills that were marketed as being relative to ny based lyricism.
[Where dro is left out of his own actual genre. he singlehandidly created. as the best actual technical artist with la and j money, and future]

If you, the collective you, want nostalgia go dig in the crate.
Yet, don't be ignorant and try to narcissistically make it like this is the only thing.
As this thing is stagnated and dated as all out hell and I have been the guy who wrote these reviews and was the he only guy Giving credence to weezy to Gucci.
that was the gateway for all the new gateway listeners to begin with.
When people were calling him goofie man and cooch man, in 2005 in blind favor of Jeezy.
Although Jeezy was gw, with a larger machine and not in admin based limbo with fat cat. Coupled with a murder case defending his life.
When people did not listen to weezy at all.
after he was a limbo based Plat artist needing early youtube clips of his social life with the squad to save face.
Just this whole shyt has spun out of control into degradation and oversaturation.

I do have an appreciation for your recollection of the southern sound. The fact that you always give respect to Triple 6 and never let people forget the importance of Dro, LA, J Money, Scooter, Future is always worth the rep.
