So, what, you're obliged to love every new thing in the rap scene or you're wack? C'mon son.

Dude seriously. It's sad. A bunch of losers jump into these threads to circle jerk about their hatred of what's current in rap music. It's like they're proud of being fucking wack
If you dont like it, just dont post. Dont even open the thread. Just go home or something
Actually they do. All you have to do is visit pop-gaf to find out. It's the same thing over there when they see someone like Beiber shoot up the charts. And yes, it is alright to be upset at Migos for continuing the hook rap trend as some people are. It's not about shit posting but having a decent discussion about why this happened. What's 'wack'(who even says this word anymore) is having a sneaker-head style mentality about rap like you're having now. Gotta bump that new radio hit and download a trash artist's mixtape in order to feel cool and fit in, right?
damn, why you so mad that not everyone loves this dumb as fuck song?
You know a song is lit when both the the shit talking at the start and the beat drop are of A+ quality.
As soon as you hear that RAIN DROPS
Migos made up the word just like Drake made up the phrases you only live once and what a time to be alive. Crazy huh.
Maybe, I live in NYC and didn't realize it wasnt a common word. White people be funny like that I guess.Maybe it's a New York thing but didn't realize white people didn't know what bougie meant.
I don't want people to misunderstand, I don't hate mumble rap nor hook rap
It's definitely Offset.Offset is the Star of the song, I don't know why everyone keeps saying Quavo is...
Why do you keep bringing up "mumble-rap/hook-rap" when Migos are neither of those types of artists
They don't mumble and the flow they have in their actual verses, not their hooks, literally changed how people rap in today's landscape
What are you even talking about

Dude this isnt a hip hop thread, its a thread about migos. If you dont like them kick rocks. If I posted a thread about how Captain America hit the top of the movies chart and literally 80% of the thread was lames posting 5 word comments about how garbage they thought it was, the thread would be deleted.
If you don't like it, I really don't care. It's the fact that theres no where to discuss this type of music on the internet without 90% of the topic being dudes circle jerking about their hatred towards Atlanta hip hop.

I grew up on Chicago artists like Kanye and Common mid to late 2000s. They made me also discover bone thugs, then tupac, then nas, then drake, Kendrick, chance, etc. I fell in love with good lyrics and more soulful sounds. I didn't really feel that south influence/drill music growing up until I heard Chief Keef rise in popularity. And compared to the path of music I went down you can see why I would think an artist like Chief Keef is trash(with one or two decent hits).
lol @ bougie being anything new. Seriously, some of you never heard of anything being called bougie at all? Bourgeoisie?
Anyway, song is dope/catchy. If you want lyricism, there's plenty of that out there.

Migos is hook rap. Look at most of the comments about the song, it's about the hook. Ask someone you know who listens to this song what the lyrics are past the hook. Hell, ask them if they think the song is actually called 'Rain drop, drop top' and not Bad and Boujee. It was the same story with their last hit song too. I'm not saying they don't have flow, but they are the definition of hook rap.

Exactly
Offset's verse single-handedly shows why there's no need for Quavo to go solo
I don't mind migos, good on them for being successful. But it sounds more like you want an echo chamber and not any kind of discussion if you get upset whenever some people don't like them and say so in a thread about them.
They should stay as a group, but Quavo has been murdering verses this year and could definitely pursue a solo career if he wanted to.Exactly

Just seems like a really remedial reason to be upset. Like if you don't like it...don't listen to it? I hate deathmetal music but I'm not angry at it's existence, I simply don't listen to it.
Novel idea sure, but it's worth trying.
No doubt, I think the main thing is to look at these guys through the lens of doing a regional sound that has become mainstream. I think the only reason i can appreciate them is due to the cultural context of Atlanta's club/strip club and dance scene of the 90's, 00's, 10's. I thought Jeezy, and Gucci Mane was wack as fuck when they started buzzing in Atlanta, but you go out enough, drinking, getting lit, dancing with women to these songs; sooner or later they start becoming your jams. LOL
However if you're only engaging this music through your headsets, then you're definitely not going to get much out of it as you would from listening to a J.Cole, Kendrick, or Kanye.
To me these guys are the Miami Bass/Atlanta Booty Shake rappers of the late 80's/90's. Whereas Atlanta Booty Shake music was thought to have died, but didn't and got mixed with the themes of gangsta rap and evolved to crunk, snap, and trap.

Quavo is the best out of Migos, no doubt. He holds the group together. I mean just listen to his verses on Call Casting and T-shirt. Pure fire.

herb"Raindrop, drop top (drop top)

Yachty is entertaining.What is the difference between Lil Uzi and lil yachty?
I will not stand for any disrespect of Uzi or Boat.
'Bougie' is not some obscure AAVE thing. Actually I don't think it originated in the black community at all. IDK where people have been.
I liked the ladies in the video... No dancing or posing or anything, just steely-eyed glares.
Song is ok.
Lexical Differences
To a great extent, AAVE (African American Vernacular English) shares a common lexicon with SAE (Southern American English) particularly vocabulary from informal and southern dialects. However, AAVE varies from SAE more than any other dialect spoken in North America. Over the years many AAVE words have become commonly used by many SAE speakers. Examples include: dig (meaning ”to understand/appreciate"), jazz, tote, chill out (meaning to relax, calm down), main squeeze (referring to one's significant other), soul (referring to African American food and music), funky, and threads (meaning ”clothes"), def (meaning ”excellent"), phat (meaning ”extremely good-looking, tasty, nice), diss (meaning ”disrespect"), and jive (meaning to speak in a dishonest or misleading manner).
AAVE also has words that either are not part of SAE, or have completely different meanings from their usage in SAE. Examples include; kitchen (refers to the curly hair at the nape of the neck), ashy (meaning ”dry skin"), siditty (meaning snobbish or bourgeois), and bougie (meaning ”an elitist African American").
Absolute trash verse and absolute trash rapper...I'm talking specifically about Uzi. I don't know nothing about Lil Boaty.
Uzi represents those of us who tuck our Manson shirts into our sweatpants.
