It’s not enough that Childish Gambino thanked Migos for “Bad and Boujee” as Donald Glover accepting his first Golden Globe for the FX series, Atlanta yesterday (January 8). Today, the ATL trio nabbed an achievement of their own with the same song, which features Lil Uzi Vert, landing at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A first for all.
The song knocked down Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane’s viral single “Black Beatles” from the top spot, which also happened to be their first #1 Hot 100 hit after everybody and their mama got in on the #MannequinChallenge mania.
“Bad and Boujee” is the first single off Migos’ sophomore effort Culture and is produced by Metro Boomin and G. Koop. The song gained traction when a video made its rounds on the internet of the group performing it to a super, hyped up crowd in Lagos, Nigeria. Lots of “Rain drop, drop top” memes soon followed.
And yes, the Donald Glover shout-out at the Golden Globes ceremony was a definite highlight of the song’s momentum, where he also compared the group to the Beatles. A comparison long held by many Migos enthusiasts.
“I love the Migos. I think they’re awesome,” Glover told Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier. “I think they’re the Beatles. And that song [‘Bad and Boujee’] is just amazing.”
If things couldn’t get any better for Quavo, Offset and Takeoff since the rapper/actor’s shoutout, Billboard reports that there has been a 243% increase in the song’s Spotify streams. Its YouTube plays for both the official audio and video streams raked in 3.6 million views between yesterday and today.
Culture is slated to drop January 27 under Quality Control and 300 Entertainment. The project includes the previously released singles, “Call Casting” and “T-Shirt.” Fans can expect features from DJ Khaled, 2 Chainz and Travis Scott.

The next Beatles lmao, more like the next Travis Porter.
wut bich migos r da best ever u mad?
Says a guy who can’t spell
I shouldn’t laugh at retarded people, but HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Seems like most rappers need a mannequin challenge typa viral shit to make their singles sell. Lame. Least that ain’t the case with albums. 2 of the 3 highest debuts of the year are rap albums and all 4 highest debuts are hip hop/rnb
They need a suicide challenge, if failed repeat till succeeded. Especially the ones with autotune and singing.
Yeah. Seriously, they got shit voices so they use autotune. They for got shit lyrics so they either use ghostwriters or they record songs with shitty lyrics. And for f’s sake they can’t even dance. It’s all these drunkish hand movements and stumbling around and shit. At least this is only on the singles side of rap. And only a part of that as well
Migos are pathetic no skill no lyricism no originality aka today’s new new rappers. Ridin the wave for another year and then they be bye bye ..
they are a less interesting flatbush zombies, they even look the same.
Never thought hip hop would have sunk so low. I watched their new vid with the sound off and the vid looked like it was good. Turned the sound on and Whoa! Terrible. Can’t understand how Number 1 good agents? Good label? I just don’t know anymore. Hip hop will be dead in five years trust me
True
i see the old niggas are mad. accept the fact that us young niggas got hip hop on lock, sorry that your wu-tang or whoever y’all like ain’t poppin’ no more.
LOL good jokes. You ain’t got hip-hop on lock with this garbage. You’re better off with Kendrick, Cole, and Chance.
In the words of Michael Jackson babies don’t listen to lyrics they just hear the music & hum the melody ABC 123 Dr Seuss rap is well alive
We’re just 2 weeks into 2017 and we already have the most retarded statement of the year.
Congrats Donald Glover!!!
Lol
donglover takes another L but flips it around and pretends it’s an incomplete T #worstmetaphorof2017 #rekkingtonwisdom
Hahahaha, good one!
congrats my ATL niggas. to be honest, Migos is the best hip hop group of all time, better than Outkast, better than Wu Thang, better than the Lox. skrrt.
Nigga tell your mooma hit you in the head with a hammer cause you stupid for that comment
Whose mans is this? Smdh
comparing the beatles to migos is like comparing a paraplegic retard to Michael Jordan on the court
the song is shit i don’t understand why everyone thinks migos is good. they sound like literally every other southern rap guys.
calm down, Donald Glover only gave a shout out because Migos are from his area and he want to give them more of the spotlight. Apparently it’s working since more idiots are talking about it. I personally like their music because they have flow and having metro boomin only helps them. that being said, their lyrics suck.
if you like migos you should be beaten with tensile steel. i hope all the bad things in life happen to you and only you.
They have flow?! HAHAHAHAHAHA! You should look at the Snoop video making fun of that wack ass flow that EVERY new artist is using. Nothing original AT ALL.
Migos were the only dim spot in all of the brilliance that was S1 of Atlanta; they play great cartoon characters on record and in their videos but these brothers cannot act… congratulations to them though! get $$$ then buy land and guns.
Only a baby can understand that gibberish garbage mindless so call music for the lame dummies of today !
