Migos Finds Its Purpose On Culture

... verses on “T-Shirt” and a few other Culture jams. The mix is full of off-the-wall ad libs too: check the “Brrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt” before Quavo’s “Call Casting” verse or the unforgettable “Bad and Boujee” call-and-response of “OFFSET!

If Migos’s genius has been acknowledged, guys like Glover are still “respected at a higher level,” Quavo said when we spoke in January. Migos named their new album C U L T U R E to explicitly underscore that their gifts on its behalf have been substantial. “We got some type of pride situation,” Quavo said. “We’re trying to show people that the young generation can do it.” And in this, the Migos have never doubted themselves.
