In a newly-released video titled “10 Reasons Migos Are Better Than The Beatles,” Complex.com pitted the two groups against each other, with the Atlanta-based group taking each of the 10 rounds. The video on the two groups is accompanied by a disclaimer, which reads:
“For the love of music history and critical thought: Migos vs. The Beatles is a stupid, cynical comparison. At best, it’s admittedly silly. At its worst, it’s a played-out strain of viral trolling that’s rather incurious about the Beatles’ influence on rock, pop, and pretty much all commercial music of the past half-century.”
Among the 10 reasons Complex listed: Migos flow is better than The Beatles flow, “John Lennon imagined a world with ‘no possessions,’ which means…No Versace,” and “There’s no weak links in the Migos chain.”
Complex also poked fun of the recent tweets, which questioned who The Beatles’ Paul McCartney was and congratulated the famed singer on scoring a collab with Kanye West following the release of Ye’s “Only One” record.
“Migos triumphed on their own, not because of a Kanye co-sign,” Complex stated in its “10 Reasons Migos Are Better Than The Beatles” list.
Lastly, Complex concluded its list with the following reason: “The Beatles broke up. Migos will live forever.”

You forgot to mention the part where the Beatles have 19 #1 albums and the Migos have…oh wait…nevermind.
don’t you dare try to confuse me with the facts
well if i didnt already hate complex i definitely do now… Migos havent sold 1 fucking album!!!!!!!!!!!! while the Beatles changes the face of music for ever.
Well the reason why they haven’t sold as much albums as the Beatles is probably because nowadays there are free downloads everywhere and they are digital. In addition, this is a stupid comparison, two music groups that are different in genre? I’m not a fan of either (although I think I’d prefer Migos because I prefer Hip-Hop than The Beatles’ “easy-listening”) but Complex just made me hate it.
IS THIS A JOKE
Let’s ask this same question 50 years from now.
I never heard of Migos…I guess my radio station in Tulsa does not play them……..Do you Know All We Need Is Love?
too bad Migos is just some suburban gucci mane/lil wayne clones who not even from the hood
The Migos are bomb ass drug dealers from Atlanta, they probably were the ones who gave the Beatles there wack ass weed in the first place. The Migos are demi gods, last time I check The Migos never got a bullet in the back of there heads
C’mon now, so none of y’all actually clicked the damn video or the link to see it was a joke? One of the reasons was because the Beatles Broke up but Migos will live forever. Y’all gotta do better than running wild with a headline.
Fucking embarrassing complex should be ashamed
anyone getting mad at this is successfully being trolled by complex.
I think I just got cancer reading the headline alone.

even complex magazine isnt that stupid to compare migos to the beatles. its satire.
you should be able to see who typed those comments too…….LOL
whoever made trolling acceptable should be executed… mafia style.
This! (x100)
Stop making stupid statements about comparing every band to the Beatles they don’t come anywhere near them and should not even be in the same conversation the Beatles are unique and we will still be playing there music in another 50 years while all those other irrelevant so called bands have fallen by the wayside FACT
I think it comes down to race. If you are young and black you would not know who the Beatles are . On the other hand if you are young and white it’s quite possible you know at the very least one of the Beatles song. Now I’m not saying this is right but I’m just saying. Further more ask yourself what race you think the negative comments are coming from. I’m just saying again
Everyone knows who the Beatles are. Everyone. White or Black. African or Asian. North American or South American. They sold half a billion records+ with a decades worth of music. John Lennon is a genius. Anyone who says any different is just foolish and ignorant. Plain and simple.
“If you are young and black you would not know who the Beatles are.”
Still shaking my head over that one. Is there a young black person reading this that can admit to not knowing who the Beatles are?
And Complex posts this whole thing as a joke and you actually call out young black people….unreal.
dude come here to point out how defensive they are but throws shade on his “own”……..it ain’t adding up
I literally have never even heard a single Beatles song, I just don’t understand why white people can’t take a joke. I think The Migos is better because i’ve listened to all of there songs and I love every single one.
point I’m making is they be trying to mask up so hard like a comic book hero that they reveal their own identity. they ain’t reading the articles, why are they here? to disrupt the forums with their ignorance, it’s the brothers who are pointing how emotional they are because they read first and know the beatles!
Complex is gettin mad unsure every week, that’s two totally different generational gaps right there, the Beatles made history and were innovators of thee time, Everybody after said that they were geniuses for what they did even today artists practise of their shit, they had their own flow, music, style what the fuck have miggs got ….. A flow…..whoa oh my god that must mean Treach, Wu tang, And everybody else who created there own flow must be all better than everybody else if that’s true then O.D.B must be king of flow.
But I guess controversy gets gossip goin so I guess they must of had amateurs making their posts up
Wu Tang is for the children!
what a huge load of crap
Thank you for the laugh, made my day!
Satire is NOT dead!
this is a joke right? lmao
