Are Migos the Thelonious Monk of nu-rap?

lagoon is the betsy devos of lil uzi vert

uzi vert verse sucks for sure lol

he got lucky as hell & his place there is proof those guys are lying out their ass when they say they knew it was a hit when they recorded it

it's not a super obvious hit IMO, it's kinda low key but grows on you

otm. "T-Shirt" feels way more obvious as a single

i don't hear t-shirt as a hit at all, like 0%

It's already in the top 40

'boujee' has one of the best hooks in a rap song in years, but 't shirt' will be a great single too

let the record state tshirt has been stuck in my head, but i did listen to it a bunch of times before the album came out

"T-Shirt" is amazing.

i like call casting a lot too

Well done, Whiney!

first five tracks straight bangers imo

i can't get this out of my head

t shirt might have gotten onto the charts via overall momentum but i can't see it lasting as a real bona fide hit. it just sounds super regular

Naw, it's an obvious, immediate standout.

definitely, tho i wouldn't say it sounded like a single, but i'm an old in 2017 so i have no clue what a single should sound like maybe

anyway, it's a brilliant track

man im probably the only one here who actually listened to all those migos mixtapes between then and now & i called 'bad and boujee' as a hit back in august. i can tell you 't shirt' is interchangeable w/ half a dozen records theyve released already

just imo but i cant see that record staying in the top 40

not saying its a bad song or anything

are you negging migos?

deej knows where culture is headed

I've listened to most of their tapes and it has nothing to do with comparison to anything they've done in the past, it's just a really fun hooky song! I don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

I really hate when you do this "no one understands the rap music as well as me" schtick.

t shirt is a cool song and it might ride out the bad and boujee popularity wave but if you stack it up next to fight night, handsome & wealthy, hannah montana, bad and boujee etc i also don't hear it as a hit in those terms

it feels a little low key to me but crazier things have happened... it's a great album opener tho

Rev otm. Times x 1000.

deej has his finger on the pulse of the throbbing, central vein of migos

I'll give you that it's not as intense as "Hannah Montana" or "Fight Night", but "Handsome and Wealthy" and "Bad and Boujee" are both p lowkey too.

I really hate when you do this "no one understands the rap music as well as me" schtick.

im not claiming to have some inherent deeper understanding of rap music im claiming to have paid attention to it.

and i don't think this is a real hit, its a streaming phantasm record built on the momentum of their first hit in ages.

but i guess we'll see if yall are still singing it in april

*ascends into the sky, laughing maniacally*

(the movement to make t-shirt the number one song of 2017 STARTS NOW)

Isn't that sort of barely there menace the wave now? Didn't 21 Savage have a top 40 hit?

Also, T-Shirt has a great video, which can really drive a steam count skyward

the seed of bad n boujee can be found here at 2:29, the fact that i noticed it makes me the arbiter of the culture

21 savage's top 40 hit is a future song

i agree about t-shirt's video...in fact id argue that's what let it touch top 40 in the first place

excellent thought leading lagoon don't think we haven't noticed at ilx HQ, there's talk of a promotion

i called 'bad and boujee' as a hit back in august

isn't this some broken clock right twice a day shit tho?

jk i have enjoyed Bout to Bust

he who controls the deej... controls the FUTURE

Mama told me
not to guesswork

isn't this some broken clock right twice a day shit tho?

purpose of the column isn't to predict the future or anything, like im actively cheerleading for stuff that doesnt have the mechanisms in place to be big all the time (cf 'cross me,') or has an uphill climb to be taken seriously again (we are toonz, Tink, sevyn streeter).

but the same column w/ bad and boujee also called amine, "black beatles" & "key to the streets" so you tell me

that same month, i mean

jesus christ deej you need to blow on your thumb and be a little more three dimensional

jk i have enjoyed Bout to Bust

LMAOOOOOOOOO

jesus christ deej you need to blow on your thumb and be a little more three dimensional

lolz

i only found out like last week that aminé was on the radio

why is everyone so mad abt me saying i dont think t-shirt is a real hit? im not saying you cant like the song. im not saying its bad. im saying its like 'timmy turner,' a fleecing the people via streaming 'hit' & we will all know in a month or two if we were right or not

dont denigrate tshirts is what it comes down to
