Migos, "T-Shirt"

It was a hit by the only metric that counts: everybody in the club sings along with it whenever you play it out.

It also ranked #52 on Billboard’s songs of 2017 chart, two notches below mi gente, fwiw.

truly deej has found his truth
but will he ever find a t-shirt? time will tell.

I think "minor hit" is the end result and, sadly, I don't think this is enough evidence to dunk on deej

i don't think you've seen the wiki yet whiney.

also, love this three-way P+J tie, it means.... something....

27 (tie). Black Thought, #Freestyle087. , 12

Migos, “T-Shirt”, Quality Control/300/Atlantic, 12

Kamasi Washington, “Truth”, Young Turks, 12

who did the wiki edit? come clean, too funny

So Culture II is 105 minutes long...

not long enough

oh shit, it's out! And it's mahoosive

wow new album already ? I had no idea !
that might deserve a new thread, no ?

deej in fairness you did say this

when "t-shirt" crosses the 57 million youtube view rubicon i will consider myself defeated

New album is very long, yes, but also surprisingly good in a low key way.

"surprisingly" ?

who on earth wants 105 minutes from these dudes?! give us your best 40 and call it good.

Surprisingly as in - I wasn’t blown away by Supastars, the vibe is pretty samey all the way through, but I found myself loving it nonetheless.

ah ok. I will give it a try later on today but I really like "stir fry" so far.

Bit daunted by a double-length. I really loved Culture but rarely listened all the way through. That said, Culture II so far is really really catchy and immediate so maybe?

It’s a vibe.

lmao holy shit at the length. I assume they'll trim it down for a physical release (if they bother with one).

I like the panache of releasing such a mammoth !
that said, it's only the equivalent of a double CD album.

There's way too many songs on it produced by Quavo, lol. But in hindsight, it seems like the inevitable bloated follow-up to a lean masterpiece, and then it might as well be as bloated as can be. Enough good stuff on it to be worthwhile, but it's no Without Warning.

Culture is "lean" only by comparison lol, it's an hour long!

can't get into this one today . gonna give it another try over the weekend

wow "stir fry" is horrible

a trend I really don't like is artists overloading their albums to goose streaming numbers. More tracks = more streams = better chart position, but worse listening experience

I mean, I guess they realize that people are just gonna cherrypick the tracks they like, so why not improve your chances at a surprise hit by releasing everything you've ever recorded

heard a rumour that nobody forces you to listen to it all in one go

Are they really saying "G.I. Jew" on "Autopilot"?

I remember that one from being a kid in Florida in the Eighties iirc

looking at the tracklists for culture and culture 2 the songs are pretty long lots of 4:30s and 5:00s

ive listened to culture all the way through a lot of times and just learned itt that its an hour long always kind thought of it as short lol

yeah same

anyway a long album is cool with me more tunes man

unless this album is exceptional (and who knows, maybe it is but I haven't scratched the surface yet), the length isn't going to do them many favours I think. Sure it's not the first double-length hip hop album, but it's not like there's a conceptual reason to do an epic like this

Culture seams leaner because it only has 13 tracks and apart from Dj Khaled no, like, intros or skits or stuff like that. What I wrote was meant to be a joke about Without Warning, though ;)

god i hated that khaled intro the whole album has such a soft nice sound except for the beginning that has this very annoying man yelling extremely aggressively

yeah i hate it too. always skip it if i can.

i hate the term 'fuckboy' too

yup

heard a rumour that nobody forces you to listen to it all in one go

i like listening to albums in one go

the rumors isnt true you have to actually

wow "stir fry" is horrible

no way

i guess you can have your own thoughts and opinions but i have no idea how you could disrespect yourself by enduring that production

Stir Fry is okay but I find the hook frustratingly unsatisfying, like it's not quite been thought-through enough or like it's not really finished off. Motorsport sounds like the whole of the Culture album at once

i really like stir fry but i fully understand why someone wouldn't

im having a real hard time getting alexa to play this album

unless this album is exceptional (and who knows, maybe it is but I haven't scratched the surface yet), the length isn't going to do them many favours I think. Sure it's not the first double-length hip hop album, but it's not like there's a conceptual reason to do an epic like this

the entire conceptual suite will become clear when they release Culture III and it's three hours long

also Brad otm, thought maybe I was being too hasty, but Stir Fry is bad

"Supastars" sounds great on first listen

wow "stir fry" is horrible
