Straight up. You can't mess with Jay when it's time to come play.
— Quavo
Every time we get days off, we try to go home and record five or six songs.
We laid the foundation before we went to a major label.
We had to get serious and hit all aspects. We had to graduate. That's what you got to do: reach all people across the nation.
My vision and my creative ability is just so broad.
You gotta give everybody a new trend a new wave, something new to do.
My mama just accepted everybody with open arms. Everybody knew her.
We know the fans love us to death, and the people that hear out music love our music.
Hip-hop was started on groups.
We want you to pay attention.
The artists that we grew up listening to was also independent like Master P, like Birdman and Lil Wayne. Those are the people that we wanted to model ourselves after. Throwing on the Cartier frames, the army-style fatigue jackets.
Whatever makes your head nod, that's want we want to give you.
We just feel like history repeats itself. You ain't never going to see nothing brand new; you're only going to see when records are broken. And we're here to just set records and set trends and follow the footsteps that have been shown to us.
We are creating the new Atlanta, along with Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug. We bring the spaghetti, put it in the bowl, mix it together, and we make the new Atlanta.
We grew up listening to music like that: we grew up on the snap music, grew up off the trap music, grew up on all the South sound.
I feel like we can learn from each other by us, being the young generation, giving knowledge to the older guys.
It's a blessing to have fans acknowledging your craft, period.
I done made music with Makonnen, Frank Ocean. We all make great music.
We always did everything ourselves.
We need the world to respect us. They consume a lot of hits and just act like it wasn't... I ain't never seen nobody make these many hits and not get notified for it. And change the game like we did and bring the flow to the game the way we did and not get noticed for it, like the the big way - the real system way.
We always trend set.
We not trying to do what everybody else is doing.
I used to get butterflies. Now we're always ready to hit the stage and rock out.
We're gonna give you a great show.
History repeats itself. So you might wanna pay attention.
It should take you 15 minutes to make a song, and then get out of there.
Got your mama and sister dabbing.
We gave the world dab fever!
All these police treating our people wrong, man. Black lives matter, but we got fans of all different colors, so all lives matter.
As artists, we're always going to like the songs we just now made over the songs we made a year ago.
Being spontaneous is a blessing.
I'd open doors for anyone who opens doors for me.
We can't stop anybody from doing what they want to do.
You got to expand the sound to expand your horizon and your fanbase.
We always make music and continue to make hits.
Atlanta embraced us. We have so much respect for them, and they have respect for us.
We gon' be around for a long time.
I'm just willing to try different things. But you gotta keep it all making sense.
We the voice of the young world. We the voice of the people.
I was a fan of T-Pain's music growing up. I bought 'Epiphany' and 'Rappa Ternt Sanga.'
If you want the Migos to come to your venue, you need to have security there because of the type of music we're rappin'. We get fans excited.
The greatest MCs came out of groups; the greatest singers came out of groups. So you can't tell us we're not MCs.
There ain't nothing that we need to be worried about. We just need to be in the right lane where everybody else be in the left lane.
We just here to do our job.
Wealth is just consistency... I don't want to be rich. I want to be wealthy.
We just compare our lifestyle to movies so you can relate to them. When I say, 'I bought a carpet from Aladdin so I could finesse and do magic,' that means I had to get me a new whip or I had to get me something in disguise to work my magic, to finesse, to get out of here.
The plan is to make money, and we know the fans are going to ask for mixtapes, and those mixtapes are going to hit. So when we put a tape out, we have more money coming in, that's why we work hard at it.
We make songs like a factory and put them out.
The culture means the younger generation respecting the OGs, but at the same time, bringing it all to the older generation to where they can relate.
Our music attracts the people that we rap about and make music about, and they come out and actually do it.
