Baller Alert Its A Lifestyle
Ahead of Friday’s highly anticipated Culture III release, Offset stopped by Billboard on Monday to let everyone know that Migos took trap music to pop status.
“We made this trap [style] go pop,” Offset said during the interview. “They don’t talk about that. We made trap go pop talking about selling pounds and bricks, and we hit Billboard No. 1. Hip-hop artists weren’t going No. 1 like that, but now it just be ‘bang, bang, bang.'”
When asked about David Banner’s comments about not receiving proper credit and other rappers stealing his flow, Offset agreed.
“It’s a fact. If you go back in time and listen to music before 2013, the cadence and the flow didn’t matter. It was more about the bars and what you’re saying,” said Offset. “Now, people get away with not saying nothing as long as the cadence and flow are good, and I feel like we created that. We did. I remember when Quavo was most influential in 2013.”
“It just don’t be no respect given, but that’s how my generation is anyway,” he added. “I just take it as you gotta keep proving to people who you are. And that’s okay with me because that’s been my life story.”
The third installment of the trios Culture series will be here on Friday. The album features Drake, Polo G, Pop Smoke, Juice WRLD, Future, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Justin Bieber.
