#10: “MotorSport” (feat. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B)
Culture II (2018)
With the first, futuristic single off of their third full-length album, “Culture II,” the group showed that their music is continuing to evolve. Pairing up with Nicki Minaj and Cardi had the Internet buzzing about whether the two female stars were taking shots at each other. But Nicki and Cardi aside, the trio drops some tight bars and yet another memorable hook. All elements combined got this song into the top 10 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
#9: “What the Price”
Culture (2017)
Top 10 Songs Of Summer 2017 – The Best of WatchMojo!
The fourth single off of their second album, this song was another great trap anthem. A testament to the Migos’ rise to fame, “What the Price” is also callback to their pasts in the seamy drug world. The electric guitar at the beginning adds a little rock’n’roll feel that blends seamlessly with their delivery. While it didn’t become a monster hit like earlier singles from the album, it demonstrated their consistent songwriting quality. To date, the single has more than 42 million views on YouTube, showing that listeners know a hidden gem when they hear it.
#8: “Fight Night”
No Label 2 (2014)
I Fight Dragons Talks Nintendo, 'Back to the Future'
Migos brings their signature high energy to every song but it’s hard to top their enthusiasm in this track. Comparing their prowess in the bedroom to boxing, Takeoff’s hook is the standout section, with the “hit it with the left, hit it with the right” line. The bass-synth heavy beat is a departure from their earlier tracks; and as a whole, it sounded more polished than the singles before it. This song was Migos’ sign that they were ready to crossover to mainstream success. The strategy worked; and until “Bad and Boujee” came along, this was the group’s highest charting single.
#7: “Narcos”
Culture II (2018)
Inspired by a trip to South Africa, this is one of their most stylistically different tunes to date . To get the song’s unique sound, they sample the 1984 track “Espoir” by Haitian band Les Difficiles de Pétion-Ville. The slinky rhythm makes it a perfect song to dance to, and quotable lines like “straight out the jungle” make for excellent hooks. They use Latin countries and cities, with a hint of Spanish, to give this song an international feel; not to mention name-dropping the infamous Pablo Escobar.
#6: “Hannah Montana”
Y.R.N (Young Rich N****s) (2013)
Miley Cyrus: Biography of the Hannah Montana Singer and Actress
Not many artists could pull off a song using the fictional Disney character, Hannah Montana, for a song about dealing drugs; but then again, most artists aren’t Migos. They used her name as a slang stand in for cocaine and MDMA, which really shouldn’t work, but somehow does. They gleefully repeat Montana’s name over and over, and talk about her twerking; which lined up perfectly with the actual Miley Cyrus rebrand as a twerking bad girl that same year. It’s catchy, playful, and easy to sing along to, which made it one of their standout songs on the Y.R.N. mixtape.
#5: “Get Right Witcha”
Culture (2017)
Top 10 Best Songs of 2017
The Migos dudes do things at their own pace, and this song is a testament to that attitude. Over a more laid-back, relaxed beat, they rap about not having time for just anyone. It’s an anti-establishment anthem, about putting their middle fingers up to the system; and that no-f’s-given type of attitude matches their personas to a T. The “get right witcha” line is the perfect verbal power move, a quotable line that resonates with listeners. It’s Migos flexing at their best, with their level of stardom lining up with their raps.
#4: “Slippery” (feat. Gucci Mane)
Culture (2017)
Pairing up with Gucci Mane for the third time, this track proved that their collabs only get better and better. Talking about their usual fast lifestyle, they rap over a hypnotic, seductive beat that’s a departure from their often faster beats. The sexual euphemism isn’t hard to pick up in this one with the “splash, drip, drip, woo, splash” hook; but again, the guys are just proving how good they are at writing catchy lines that later become meme-worthy. Despite the more chilled-out rhythm, their delivery is just as bombastic as ever, making for an unbeatable combo.
#3: “Versace” (feat. Drake)
Y.R.N (Young Rich N****s) (2013)
Their debut single is still one of their best. Rapping about their penchant for designer clothes and expensive jewelry, these young bucks made one of the most infectious earworms imaginable, with the repetition of “Versace” over and over again in the hook . Want repetitive? They say the name over 150 times over the course of the song! And while the original version is good, the song was made even better when Drake hopped in the remix. His added verse helped launch the song to a broader audience and put Migos on the map to listeners outside the South. VERSACE!
#2: “Bad and Boujee” (feat. Lil Uzi Vert)
Culture (2017)
Top 10 Hardest Piano Songs
Though by no means their first hit, “Bad and Boujee” is far and away the song that catapulted them to superstardom. Released in late 2016, the infectious Metro Boomin’-produced tune began gaining more popularity as a meme with people using the “rain drop, drop top” line repeatedly. It climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the first number one smash for Migos and Uzi Vert. More importantly, it shows off their signature triplet stop and go flow. It would have been even better if Takeoff was on the track but for whatever reason he was “Leftoff”.
Before we unveil our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions:
“Kelly Price” (feat. Travis Scott)
Culture (2017)
“Pipe It Up”
Yung Rich Nation (2015)
“Stir Fry”
Culture II (2018)
#1: “T-Shirt”
Culture (2017)
Top 10 Songs For Summer 2017
Hands down, this song is the embodiment of the Atlanta trio at their best. Paying homage to deceased rapper and hometown legend, Shawty Lo, they took his “seventeen five” line (which is, of course, slang for cocaine) from his “I’m Da Man” song and made it their own. Each member of the group is able to show off their jittery flow in some of the tightest bars they’ve ever written, as they rap about getting caught up in the trap lifestyle . Producing duo Nard & B came up with the skipping, pounding beat, another major strength of this absolutely bangin’ track.
