I loved the sound effects run, but I agree. A weak Todd video is still entertaining, but this song doesn't have much to go off of.

I don't think this is one of your better ones, but I guess you can only work with what you are given.

I think it's the self-reinforcing cycle of fandom. Somebody praises, then somebody else praises, then it gets into a cycle of increasing praise as other folks praise it to make sure they're seen as "cool" and not out of touch, and so on. Maybe it's the "Boujee" part of it, too - that's at least part of why it got a glowing Jacobin article. For me it's pleasing background music even if you don't pick up on all the lyrics, at least for the first three minutes.

Well, I can't speak to the quality of the song... But Donald Glover may have had something to do with the popularity of it. He gave the group, and in particular this song, props when he gave his acceptance speech when Atlanta won at the Golden Globes. He called it the best song to have sex to.

Who pronounces that word as "Boujee" it's more like "Bouzhwa" even "Boujwa" would be a better approximation.

So what, are we going and reviewing all the #1 hits of 2017 in reverse now? I'm ready for a rereview of Black Beatles followed by a review of Starboy.

"Migos" makes me think of the Lovecraft monsters, but I'm a nerd...

I swear rap songs get big only to make the dumbest, weirdest crap for the music videos.
