In a candid interview on the latest episode of Club Shay Shay, Migos member Offset dropped a bombshell that has the hip-hop world buzzing. The question on everyone’s mind: Who truly reigns supreme in the rap game? Offset’s answer is unequivocal: Migos.
The great debate: Migos vs. Wu-Tang Clan
When asked by host Shannon Sharpe where he would rank Migos among other rap groups, both in Atlanta and across the nation, Offset didn’t hesitate.
“If I do just Atlanta, I’d give us two,he asserted, because you gotta respect OutKast. They kicked the door down for us down south. I mean, when it was a time where we weren’t even accepted.”
But what about the global stage? Offset’s verdict remains unwavering:
“Now, if we go all the way, I’m still going to stay at two because I’m going to put OutKast first, I’ma put us two, I’ma put Wu-Tang [three]. Lox, I’ll give them four.”
Why Migos deserves the crown
Offset’s confidence in Migos isn’t unfounded. The trio—composed of Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff—has undeniably left an indelible mark on hip-hop. Here’s why they’re the reigning champs:
- Culture shifters: Migos revolutionized the rap landscape with their signature triplet flow, catchy ad-libs, and trap-infused beats. Their influence extends beyond music, permeating fashion, language, and pop culture.
- Hits galore: From “Bad and Boujee” to “Versace,” Migos consistently delivers chart-topping hits. Their discography reads like a greatest hits compilation.
- Versatility: Whether it’s club anthems, introspective tracks, or collaborations with artists from diverse genres, Migos adapts effortlessly.
- Enduring impact: Wu-Tang Clan undeniably paved the way, but Migos has sustained their relevance in an ever-evolving industry.
Host Shannon Sharpe expressed astonishment that Offset didn’t include N.W.A in his list.
“They kicked the gates off,” Sharpe emphasized. Offset conceded, admitting he didn’t grow up listening to N.W.A or Run DMC. But I do pay respects, he clarified. They gave us an opportunity to be here where we’re at right now.”
In a lighthearted moment, Offset also schooled Sharpe on fashion, urging him to ditch the tight pants. Sharpe’s response?
“I ain’t been letting them change me, man.”
So, there you have it. Migos stands tall, their legacy etched alongside hip-hop giants. Wu-Tang Clan remains iconic, but Offset’s proclamation cements Migos as the best hip-hop group of our time.
