When it comes to the hip-hop zeitgeist, the prolific Migos crew has been at the helm, pulling the strings of modern rap with their instantly recognizable flows and contagious ad-libs. The Atlanta trio, composed of Quavo, Offset and Takeoff, have been commandeering the airwaves since they burst onto the scene with their debut studio album “Yung Rich Nation” in 2015, only cementing their place in hip-hop history with each subsequent release.
Unflinching in their artistic vision, the Migos have remained steadfast in their exploration of lavish lifestyles, crafting anthems that drip with eloquence and energy. Whether it’s their pioneering trap vibes on “Culture” or their evolution in “Culture II” and most recently, “Culture III,” these Southern kings have consistently redefined the rap game, one bar at a time. Their tune versatility is evident when you juxtapose the opulence of “Versace” against the raw hunger of “Racks 2 Skinny.”
From the seductively alluring “Kelly Price” featuring Travis Scott to the punchy “Stir Fry,” their music captures the pulse of the streets while flirting with mainstream appeal. So let’s get into it. From the peak of their infectious melodics to the depth of their hard-hitting bangers, here are the Top 25 Best Migos songs of all time.
25. Malibu (feat. Polo G)
This track, off their 2021 album “Culture III”, bathes in the bling-bling era of hip-hop.

Polo G’s guest verse adds a satisfying contrast to Migos’ dazzling portrayal of wealth, as he reflects on his humble beginnings back in North Chicago.
The lyrics interweave the artists’ unique experiences with their love for pricy, high-end fashion. They’ve traded “scared of the dogcatcher” for “Patek on water (Water), pockets, I got ’em filled up with water (Filled up).” Between foreign cars, diamond rings, exotic vacations, and designer couture, it’s clear that Migos and Polo G have truly made it. Their lyrics provide a snapshot of the lux life that’s a far cry from the circumstances they once knew.

24. Antisocial (feat. Juice WRLD)
This track sees the much-awaited collaboration with the late rap prodigy Juice WRLD, whose contributions from beyond put a melancholic spin on the opulent Migos brand. The lyrical themes revolve around the isolating aspects of fame and wealth, uncovering the darker side of the glittering rap lifestyle. Juice WRLD’s chorus, “Don’t stand too close, heart’s antisocial,” echoes the emptiness that often lurks behind the walls of gold-plated mansions.

Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff trade verses on this upbeat track, further cementing their status as hip-hop’s most relatable trio.
The lyrics narrate the trio’s opulent Tuesday routine, where they enjoy feasting on tacos while entertaining a bevy of beauties, underpinned by a jovial vibe that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
