The Migos made their return on Friday (June 11) with Culture III and fans couldn’t wait to get their opinions of the project off on social media. The often forgotten Migo, Takeoff, looks to be getting his respect from the Hip Hop crowd for his performance across the star-studded LP.
In an album that features Drake, Future, Polo G, Juice WRLD, Cardi B, NBA YoungBoy and Justin Bieber, it was Takeoff — Quavo’s nephew — that seemed to be having the flowers thrown his way and emerging as one of the early big winners.
Akademiks — a noted Migos superfan — was even impressed with Takeoff’s flows on Culture III.
“8 TRACKS In to the MIGOS album.. TAKEOFF done dropped 40 POINTS EVERY TRACK,” he wrote.
RapRadar podcast host Elliott Wilson also gave Takeoff the crown for his effort on album opener “Avalanche.” Just mere hours after the C3‘s arrival, an array of memes were born showing Takeoff love for his performance across the album.
“People are finally realizing that Takeoff is the best rapper in the Migos,” another fan said.
Takeoff was second in line for Migos solo albums behind Huncho, as the 26-year-old unleashed The Last Rocket in November 2018.

Culture III arrives over three years since 2018’s second installment. Looking for their third consecutive No. 1 album, the Migos will compete against Polo G’s Hall of Fame for the top spot. There’s no beef at all, as the Chicago native appears on C3 and shouted-out the ATL trio.

Bro, stop with the corny “giving flowers” analogy. It’s wack.
Lol@a bunch of tweets posing as an article. This writer is trash…
Takeoff finally getting that recognition. He’s been taking off for a while.
(I’ll stop the flowers for you)
Some turds sit in the bottom of the bowl, some float to the top. In the end, they all get flushed. Takeoff is like the crackhead that only smokes crack on weekends and special occasions. None of them can rap. And Twitter posts are not news stories. Thanks.
They can rap. Just say you not a fan. But try and take skills away. You can’t.
I’m sorry, but no.
Love these PR marketing team tweets. It’s almost like real people are talking about them. Just listened, not impressed.
I hereby declare “giving someone their flowers” to be the gayest new hip hop saying of 2021. Cant we just go back to saying “giving someone props” instead ?
Wow. I can’t believe you would use “gayest” as a negative term. I feel so triggered right now that I might go kill myself. And if I do, it is your fault because you used “gay” in a negative light. I am like literally crying right now. Now give me my flowers before you get canceled!
Yooooo that was funny my g, most won’t get it you get a rose;)
Because Takeoff is a true lyricist. Better than MF DOOM combined with Tame-One and Ice-T. Flowers for the whole Migos crew. If Jay is the best than they are the bestest.
They’re all garbage. To call Migos hip hop is absolutely insane lol
I live you quavo from lakisha
Takeoff was the least trash… that’s how this should be phrased. Ak saying he dropped 40 points each track. No, he got 5 pts per track but stayed in front of his man on D, while the others got 0 pts and dunked on all game long.
I hate how people always trying to break them up . If the song is ? let it be ? stop that who got the best verse shit
for fucks sake. has the world been turned upside down.
Hate hate hate…you all need to listen to Takeoff. For a Southern rapper, he is lyrical and has an incredible flow. I have always thought he was the best. Offset and Quavo dope too but Takeoff out rapped them. Also, how can you say people trying to split em up. Ghost, Meth, and Rae were the best out of Wutang. No split up. Pimp was the best out of UGK no split up before his death. It is nothing wrong with giving people their flowers.
Takeoff been killing them for years. He just be low key.
but all three of them are ?
