    ‘Culture III’ is more focused than its exhausting 24-track-long predecessor, but a stricter edit here could’ve enhanced the experience even further.

    It’s a huge record, a panoramic thriller that places three incendiary MCs against a digital orchestra – an ambitious, lavish, and extraordinarily successful release.

    Culture III surpasses the sequel, and lives up to the greatness of 2017’s brilliantly concise breakthrough Culture. One could argue that every song has a different MVP.

    The Migos formula works, to be sure. But it's those occasional reaches outside the tried and true — be it beats or collaborators — that make for a more compelling listen, even if they don't always smack the mark.

    Like its predecessor, Culture III can become a slog, and at times seems shoddily constructed, its commercial ambitions ill-considered and to the album’s detriment. It’s also girded by songs that recall the Migos’ inspired peak—and a couple that rank among their best.

    The beats are pleasant to excellent, the raps are practiced yet dry, and the trio that has come so far finds itself not moving at all.

    In all the excess, one is nonetheless left wanting more—better fleshed-out personas or a glint of a new stylistic direction rather than a doubling down on committee-tested beats and a formulaic approach. The end result is more diminishing returns for Migos’s Culture series.

    A really good project. The beats are fine as hell. TakeOff Offset & Quavo made a good job.

    Decent production, good synergy, but basic lyrics. Not an influential album at all. Is it worth to listen? Yeah it is, it has some great beatsDecent production, good synergy, but basic lyrics.
