After receiving criticism from the likes of 2 Chainz and others for their “Migos flow,” Atlanta-based rap trio Migos found themselves with a new celebrity fan today (November 6).
On the week of the release of Migos’ Rich Nigga Timeline, former A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip expressed his appreciation for the group. Q-Tip began his series of Migos tweets by declaring that those who answer “no” after being asked if they like Migos “can’t be trusted.”
Hours after posting his initial tweet about Migos, the Queens, New York rapper/producer stated that those in the group “got bars” and are “tha truth.”
Q-Tip then compared Migos’ creativity to that of groups like Geto Boys and UGK.
Migos’ Rich Nigga Timeline mixtape was released yesterday (November 5) and consists of 18 tracks.

this is sad
Nah, everybody knows that Trae is tha truth.
I see his point. It’s all just going in a cycle. Kinda hypocritical to hate on one group when they got the same subject matter as other groups. I haven’t listened to em personally but I get his point.
They may have the same subject matter as past groups, but where are the skills?
If we don’t like it we can’t be trusted??
That’s a little communist sounding to me or maybe it’s a plot to stay relevant…hmmmm I don’t know but I’ll say respectfully I just can’t relate to that group because I’m a GROWN man..so now what does that make me?will the hip hop kgb come to my door??
AHAHAHA YESSSSSS!!!
BACKPACKERS EAT A DICCCCCCCKKKKK
Must be trolling.
Greatest hip-hop group EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana, got that molly, got that white, got that molly, got that white!!!!
I haven’t heard the entire mixtape, but I went and listened to one song after I saw this article, and I couldn’t even finish that song. Not sure where tip is trying to go with this, but I think it’s just saying respect all hip hop, there are different types of hip hop, but if you ain’t hearing it, then don’t listen. But you’d be hypocritical to say they suck.
i’m in my mid 30ies, i grew up on nas, redman, the wu, tribe, but i never got stuck in that time frame. when the west and the south had their years of prominence, i was fucking with that. it ain’t where you from it’s how dope you are. migos are garbage though.
Niggas take a pic with Jay & now they co-signed ? Ohhhh but they do have records I like!… “Fight Night” be having me going!
Q Tip is old, bitter, nearly broke, and clearly brainwashed. That said, when his new album dropping?
NEarly broke? His net worth is 8 million dollars. He’s still eating off the production he did on Watch the Throne…
He’s a producer on Ye’s new project and he’s got a new album coming.
And he gets paid crazy to DJ.
Old? He’s basically the same age as Jay, Eminem, Pharrell, etc.
W.C put a Cucumber in my ass
Sorry Q-Tip, but you’re not on point with this one.
i c wut u did there
I’m actually not surprised. A lot of people f@$% with Migos. Their last mix-tape wasn’t that bad.
when Migos make a track as good as Thugger’s “Lifestyle” then I’ll co-sign. Most I can say is they’re not horrible.
this guys are the biggest clowns in rap next to officer ricky, french
u probably a salty ass whiteboi who just discovered immortal technique. fuck outta here lame
grab quality bud,green trees and actavis purple drank….text or call ….(716)242-5990..email…alvinsmith773@gmail.com
DAMN, EVEN Q-TIP SIPPIN’ ON THE LEAN??!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Migos put out more hits in 2014 than Kendrick did from 2012-2014
What hits? And I’m talking Hot 100, not hits “for the streets”.
LOL pretty sure 1 of kendricks singles outsold everything migos have ever done,
Kendrick has platinum/gold singles, Migos haven’t even reached copper.
Yhea but Poetical Tyrant brought much better than Migos check http://itunes.apple.com/album/id925468674 or check it on spotify if you wonna know what I mean. that Poetical Tyrant by the way
I bet Migos couldn’t name 1 Q-Tip song or even a beat he produced.
Shit they probably don’t even know ATCQ
probably the gayest thing ever written on here. kill yoself
Niggas mad but he’s actually right. Migos just have that deep south accent, but musically they’re talented, consistent and their shit is fire. The fact they call out all these niggas in the rap game with fake jewels makes them real IMO. Fakewatchbusta can’t bust me lol. Y’all also can’t like Versace, and Fight Night go hard in the club or car.
THEM NIGGAS ARE HORRIFIC. TERRIBLE. HORRIBLE. ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE LEGANDARY Q-TIP, IS A DAMN IDIOT. WHAT HAPPENED TO HONESTY IN HIPHOP?
these niggas stay draped in fake gold and fake designer clothes, some of it might be real now but they came in the game broke and stunting with fake shit just like the rest
dont xplain urself 2 h8ers
Aye Q-tip wait till you hear skippa tha flippa pure comedy
they are horrible artists who rely on hot production like most rappers from ATL
BARS? I CAN UNDERSTAND STARTING A NEW TREND BUT TO SAY THEY HAVE BARS? IDK
Trapped out the bando, got tools like Rambo
Got bird like Birdman, got white like Lindsay Lohan
Made a hundred stacks off the pots and pans
On the corner serving grams, my niggas be on the block hard
My niggas be selling that hard, got bricks, like Shaq, at the free throw
You can call my phone, got them prices for the L-O, don’t knock at my door, I don’t wanna talk to you
Got them bricks for the low, I will serve you
In the bando, boarded up, got them bricks in the wall and in the floor
Pizzeria way I’m playin’ with the dough
If the feds wanna talk, I just tell them I don’t know
Fuck twelve!
Trapping in the vacant, serving all my patients
Get it from the Haitians, smoking loud my eye look Asian
Getting to the money, running to it, tryna chase it
Like it when she make it, cook it when she naked
Throw it in the microwave, Betty Crocker how I bake it
Trapping in the bando, big guns like commando
Flip it like a sandal, foreign bitch she look like J.Lo
Get a brick from Venezuelo, meet the plug his name is Pedro
Trapping out the house with the boards on the windows
All new Camaro with the black and red interior
Migo gang taking over, yeah we is superior
Certified packs nigga you can check the serial
Foreign bad bitch and she say her name Trina
Traphouse look like it got hit by hurricane Katrina
These pounds bought a beamer, everything I do illegal
The bitches always wanna mingle, I’m stacking my money like pringles
Sipping on sprite and codeine, my foreign bitch Philippine
Her girlfriend Chinese, sipping on lean and popping a bean
Diamonds come from Africa, sipping on lean and smoking loud
Feel like I’m on salvia, flipping the work with no spatula
Damn, that’s a lot of trash lyrics.
Think I’ll just dump all my Tribe Called Quest albums in the sewer now…
like they fit in a toilet, lol
and what sewer cover you lifting in America when they all scared of terrorists? shoulda just kept yo mouth shut son
I love it when hip-hop artists these “real hip-hop only” heads praise support the cats them lames are so against. Big up to Q-Tip. There’s nothing better than variety. Fuck tryna have everybody rappin about the same shit, the same way, on the same beats.
That’d be fine if the artist they support are good, but Migos is trash, plain and simple.
Migos rap about the same shit, the same way, on the same beats as well. They’re just like the other rappers out there who suck. You want variety? Don’t support this shit.
2nd and 3rd post are haters. Go bump that slaughterhouse, no one else is…
No, the 2nd and 3rd posts spoke the truth, you just can’t handle it. No one is bumping this Migos trash. Get that Versace bullshit out of here.
Migos sounds like every other rapper (these dudes aren’t MCs) out there. Migos, Young Thug, Bobby Shmurda, and Chief Keef. No substance, no originality, and wack beats. If you like these cats, you obviously don’t know anything about the culture and have little to no Hip Hop knowledge.
q tip obviously on that molly or lean. nigga jus delirious cuz migos is todays trash and tomorrows has beens in less than 6 months.
niggaz will say anything to be relevant when they aint relevant.
that word relevant gets tossed around a lot but in this case it’s true, q-tip aint had his name in a headline in a minute and you haven’t heard him on any of these young artist’s features lately,
most young artists dont know who he is or what he did, migos came up on gucci mane
You lil niggas really dig shitty rappers. Just because a person expects a little skill on the MIC their lame? Oh wait I forgot rapping on a 4 year old level is what’s up now. And it pisses me off that legends big up wack niggas just to get some spotlight wtf is tip on the truth lol this is worst than all those muthafuckas that was giving drake props knowing they wasn’t feeling his wack ass shit
You are entitled to your opinion, but every MC is not going to be Rakim. The fact that you’d expect them to be…..is lame.
Nobody said they were supposed to be Rakim. OP just said that you need to have skills on the mic.
Skills on the mic are a matter of OPINION.
1 thing i can’t stand is a h8er. Migos r great rappers. im only 13 and i can tell that they work really hard. if yall dont like their music just move on. im pretty sure they dont care wat h8ers have 2 say anyways. like they said real recognizes real. if they rollin wit jay z u kno their good rappers. learn 2 live yall life and stop worrying about the next person’s life. yall dont understand wat they have been through. they didn’t even tell their whole life story. but the lil bit dat they did tell i understood dat they been through alot 4 them 2 b so young
Nice trolling.
i forgot 2 say dat Rich Nigga Timeline is a great mixtape so u need 2 check it out. maybe if yall listen to the song Struggle u will change ur mind about them. if u dont then u r a true h8er
Nice try, but Migos and their music are trash. Everything they release suck.
Lol, people still write “h8er”?
Shut up Alicia – grown ups are talking!
your’re trash. as of a matter of fact r u famous? can u rap? r u rich? until u make all that happen then u can talk so keep ur mouth closed. u talkin to da right 1
Last time I heard, there’s something called freedom of speech. You don’t need any qualifications to determine music quality.
lots of people are rich and famous. paris hilton is rich and famous. jaden smith is rich and famous. honey boo boo is rich and famous
I wonder if Q Tip would let his children listen to this Migos mixtape which promotes black on black violence, drug dealing, material possessions and objectifying women.
You just described 99% of all hip hop.
Tip produced the Infamous by Mobb Deep. that album is one of the most thugged out albums from the most thugged out groups of all time.
Migos only have a career because Drake remixed Versace… and thats the truth!
LMBO, boy hell nah. That song was hot in the streets before Drake even was on the track.
yeah the streets, the streets aint buy no records or get anyone on mtv like that
they were big before drake
Migos r great rappers n they sexy as hell
Q-Tip is hip and knows good rapping when he hears it. Takeoff from Migos has been out flowing all of these rappers. Migos can definitely rap with the best of em and are the only bright spot in down south rap rn
