TOP 5

Honorable Mention. Commando

There are several things from this song that need to be verified: Are Migos really the ones who came up with bandos? Is Takeoff’s ring really as big as the globe? Both things sound kind of impossible, right?

What I love most about this track is how Takeoff, who often plays the background, steps into the spotlight with one of his most commanding performances. He kicks things off with a hard-hitting verse and delivers a chorus that’s both action-packed and insanely catchy. Offset follows with a near-flawless verse, effortlessly switching flows from slow to fast like it’s nothing. Then there’s Quavo, who closes the track with some disrespect, a quick-hitting flow, and a vocal tone that somehow makes him sound ten years younger. All in all, you’ll put some respect on Migos’ name after hearing this.

5. Chances

“Chances” shows a rare moment of humility from Migos, and I really appreciate that.

Migos open up about their journey, from smelling like Funyuns (which, let’s be real, is hilarious) to living in mansions. That’s a serious glow-up. Nobody wants to be out here smelling like Funyuns!

The beat has a bit of a mad scientist, Zaytoven-esque feel, but there’s a subtle layer of emotion and grit that adds to the song’s authenticity. Even someone who’s not typically a Migos fan could find something to like here—it’s honest, reflective, and still goes hard.

4. You Wanna See

Anytime bad people say, “you wanna see something?” run the other way.

Quavo really shines on “You Wanna See.” Over a beat darker than Luol Deng, he sets the tone with a carefree, bossed-up verse, flexing about the birds he moves, the women he conquers, and the slums he came from. I like how he weaves in a slight tongue-twisting flow, but his real power comes from his confident, cocky delivery. The chorus is also a strong point—catchy and well-delivered.

Offset and Takeoff, however, bring different energies that don’t quite match Quavo’s. Offset leans into a more passionate, melodic tone, while Takeoff adopts a punchy and aggressive approach. Still, they keep the reckless energy high, with bars about juggling 28 women, flipping chickens, and getting higher than Mike Jones’s phone bill.

3. Trippin

Here comes your certified club banger. The energy on this track is f**king electric!

This is the kind of record Migos thrive on: high-energy, sing-along anthems tailor-made for the club. From the catchy hook to the quotable bars, it’s designed to have the whole place jumping. BTW: My chick is bad too, y’all. Booty so big, I installed Apple TV on it!

2. Hoe On A Mission

Damn, Quavo sounds like NAV on this s**t.

I rock with the chorus we get on this track—it has that kind of catchy, chantable quality that makes it instantly stick. But let’s be real, who doesn’t put their hoes on a mission these days? Personally, I send mine to grab green peppers from Giant Food Warehouse because a brother’s out here trying to make turkey spaghetti (I’m just kidding, guys… I don’t have any hoes)! The track feels radio-friendly too, just as soon as they swap out “hoes” for something a little more FCC-approved.

Now, what should they swap it with? “Pros” might be the best bet—keeps the rhythm, implies expertise, and still gives off that boss energy. “Toes” is a little unhinged, but technically, your toes do go on the most missions, so it checks out in a philosophical kind of way. “Foes” is a stretch—who really puts their enemies to work unless it’s a long con? OK, we’ll stick with hoes…

1. WOA

This is the closest thing to a flawless Migos track.

“WOA” thrives off a bass-heavy, slightly moody trap beat that instantly pulls you in. The song’s chorus, delivered by Takeoff, has a catchy start-stop rhythm that’s addictive, even if the lyrics themselves are shallow, filled with mentions of diamonds, mollys, and perkys.

Takeoff officially kicks things off with a high-pressure verse, delivering rapid-fire bars that center around demanding respect, even if it means using force to get it. His energy is relentless and sets the tone for what’s to come.

Quavo’s laidback verse stands out the most, weaving in flexes about African diamonds, his dedication to the trap, and reckless spending. There’s a nice switch-up in the middle of his verse, where he suddenly speeds up the flow, showing off a bit more technical skill. Offset only gets a few bars, but he makes the most of them with a tightly-packed, tongue-twisting delivery focused on loyalty and flexing future purchases. Altogether, “WOA” is a tightly structured track that I f**k with a lot.

(79%)

I can confidently say there’s no one quite like Migos (Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff). Their ability to merge high-energy trap production with rapid-fire flows and unforgettable hooks is something special. On YRN 2 (Young Rich Niggas 2), they don’t just stick to what they’re good at—they double down on it. The trio utilizes the project to assert their cultural impact, repeatedly claiming credit for inventing the dab, referencing their days on the streets, and maintaining a constant air of aggression and readiness.

Lyrically, it’s full of braggadocio, but it’s delivered with such conviction that it becomes part of the project’s charm. The beats are bold and cinematic, perfectly matching the group’s over-the-top swagger. Every track feels like a flex, and in the world of Migos, that’s exactly the point. YRN 2 isn’t just another mixtape—it’s a reminder that Migos helped shape the modern trap landscape and deserve their flowers.
