Migos: We Started This Genre, No Rapper Can Say They Ain't Took Our Flow

[Deltron]

reminds me of the whole sean/luda/drake beef:

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Lupe did that flow first

 

[itsyoung!!]

They didn't invent it. But clearly rap hasn't sounded the same since Versace blew up in 2013. Before them they're was a FEW examples of new generation cats doing it now at least 80% of the nikkas today use a triplet rhyme pattern, it's pretty much the template in today's sound, so they're not wrong.

most the radio sounds like kid cudi though (travis scott / lil uzi vert) which just leads back to the harmonizing examples of bone thugs / 3 6 mafia in here


edit: I just typed in a random bone thug song to listen to Mr Bill Collector since im in the mood for good music this morning, the 1st comment (10 months ago) is "they birthed the migos"

How can I not take my style back from nikkas
When nikkas was taking my style way before

 

[NV-ME]

Ace Hood should have came down from the rafters like Sting with a baseball bat.

 

[Jekyll]

As a mid 20s Atlanta nikka you must be a lame. Pat..fly..36 gotti was in rotation everywhere in the A for atleast 20 years now

 

[28 Gramz]

Jeezy,Gucci and TI grew up on underground Memphis rap, every nikka from Atlanta in the 90's did. Their sound is a offshoot from what Three Six/Playa Fly/Tommy Wright was doing.

When Memphis and New Orleans was doing gangsta rap over stuttering hi hats, 808s, snares and spooky keyboard melodies, Atlanta was known for Outkast and booty shake type shyt. Their whole crunk/gutter/street/trap wave didn't take off until they took elements from those cities and put their own slang into it.

Krazyie Bone

its the same flow they use, but if you need a specific verse to listen to similarities, Offset verse on Minute with Nav, its the same exact flow especially around the "lodi dodi, put her on molly, fukk her on top the rari" but really the whole verse and really they whole sound.. its just on different style beats

they even doing the harmonizing on one they biggest hits T-Shirt


edit:



if you dont hear "migos flow" on this song, then you just trying not to

Here is another one since you on your Krayzie Bone flow this morning

 

[hex]

I don't think they said or meant that they started it. They just popularized it today.

Your average 16 year old probably has no clue who Lord Infamous is.

Having no clue doesn't make them any less wrong though.

History exists totally independent of whether or not an individual knows about it. That's what people don't seem to get.

I think they may sound familiar, but I don't think the Migos got their flow from them. So in their mind, people are copying them, not Bone Thugs. And we know people are copying their cadence, not krayzie bone.

But I don't think that they (migos) were saying that they started or originated the flow. From what I gathered from listening, they were simply saying that they popularized it to the CURRENT generation.

Alot of these younger dudes wouldn't even know about Lord Infamous and other rappers of the past if they weren't chopping it up with older posters on the internet. They truly think Migos were the originators of the triple-time flow.

But they did give it a resurgence, which I gathered is what they were saying.

Anybody who thinks Migos created that flow is exposing themselves.

Bone Thugs are the most successful rap group of all time, its not like they were some underground acts, theyve sold like 30 million records

if i joined MLB today and had a batting stance like Ken Griffey JR, but because he hasnt played in years, im now the creator of this batting stance? life dont work like this man.. why in rap we try to rewrite history so much i have no idea
