Today, on this fifth day of Black History Month, I am shining the light on MIGOS. Truth be told, I honestly thought they were destined to be a one hit wonder after hearing their song “Versace” They said “Versace” about 100000x, but the song was infectious and went off in the club. Hell, even Miley (during her Urban phase) referenced it on a remix to “Ain’t Worried About Nothin’”. You know you’re on the verge of crossing over when Miley quotes you. Funny enough, they have a song called “Hannah Montana”. I would be lying if I said thought that they were going to be more than a 1.5 hit wonder.
Now, in this year of 2017, Migos is not only here, but they are known all over this great country. Daniel Glover thanked Migos for making “Bad and Boujee” during his Golden Globes speech and two things happened: Black people all over were like “Oh hell no! He didn’t just do that! That dude crazy for that!” and many White people ran to Google to see what/who was Migos. I think one of my Golden GLobes coverage highlights was the reporter backstage asking Donald about Migos and “Bad and Boujee”. Just seeing her ask the questions with a straight face seemed hard enough. She deserves an award. Give her a Grammy, since apparently no one cares about those anymore…
The shout out propelled the single to the top of the charts and lead to their album “Culture” debuting in the number one spot. They are finally getting love from people in the flat states the way people from Atlanta have been loving them for some time now. They even had a petition to replace Gaga in the halftime show of the SuperBowl. It’s a good time to be Migos. If they keep this up, maybe they can be at the next Halftime show. Ok, I’m guessing a hard no, but it’s important to keep hope alive.
