    C U L T U R E propels the Migos three into the mainstream with a collection of woozy trap gems that is a peak in their young careers thus far.

    On Culture the band stakes a claim as the most important rap group to come out of Atlanta since Outkast. That it even seems fathomable is proof of the album’s success.

    C U L T U R E is that rare work, one where an artist’s aesthetic is funneled into every track, where you can sense the trajectory from their previous works to this one.

    Releasing a handful of incredible singles ahead of an album sets a pretty lofty standard that the rest of the LP doesn’t always meet. In spite of its drawbacks, Culture showcases Migos at the top of their artistry and there’s no indication that it’s their peak either.

    Migos prove here that they are worthy of our attention, building a formidable set of songs that demand to be taken seriously.

    The subject matter isn't new, but the trio's knack for delivering humorous one-liners, tasteful adlibs and memorable hooks in impressively technical fashion remains a winning formula here.

    It’s impressive in small doses, but as Culture progresses you get a strong sense of deja vu, where each track upends the next with a petty familiarity that is just frustratingly repetitive.

    I hate trap music. So much. With that said, I don't understand how I like this album so much. I honestly don't. But it's perfect. MusicallyI hate trap music. So much. With that said, I don't understand how I like this album so much. I honestly don't. But it's perfect. Musically beautiful, with eerie beats and melodic (dare I say) autotune. Lyrically amazing. Especially "Out Yo Way" (A beautiful track straying away from normal rap objectifying of women and talking about the women who are beautiful people and go out of their ways to help people), "Deadz" (Pure flames, a cypher rap for the ages) and "What the Price" (Describes their history of dealing drugs). With other hot singles such as "Bad and Boujee" and "T Shirt", this album has everything, and vibing to every infectious track is a given. Starts of 2017 on a beautifully hot note. Expand

    This is a great mixtape. They finally tried out something new with their flows and it worked out perfectly.

    I've honestly never been able to stand Migos.... but I actually really like this album.

    The album is an overall commentary on black culture, and why it is the way it is, and how hip hop is representative of it, and it serves as a thoroughly entertaining middle finger in the face of those who complain about hip hop's explicit content.

    The instrumentals are beautiful, albeit sometimes formulaic, and the lyrics manage to simultaneously be funny and poignant.

    Overall, it's an enjoyable experience.

Excellent beat selections for the most part, and endless fun energy from the trio. "T-Shirt", "Bad and Boujee", "Get Right Witcha" and "Slippery" are all bangers. The lyrical themes are nothing special, and when you're listening to lyrics about jewelry, women and drugs for 13 tracks, it gets a bit stale and doesn't exactly demand my attention. Also in some of the tracks literally everyone raps with the same flow and sound identical. But the constant ad libs, fun hooks and mostly fitting flows keep the album enjoyable. Expand
