I don't know why it came to this, but Culture III wasn't good. It wasn't good for a variety of reasons that made Culture II not good, and how Culture was their first well received album.

First and foremost, it's Migos to the max. each and every piece of this album is oversaturated and repetitive as hell, something that isn't even required in trap (1992 Deluxe had some tracks with fully fleshed structure, why can't all trap have it?) alongside a series of questionable song structure choices ... read more
