If you aren’t down with Migos, it might be time to realize they’re the hip-hop revelation we all need. The Atlanta trio just dropped the album ‘Culture’ fresh off a co-sign from ‘Atlanta’ star and creator Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino. Their single ‘Bad and Boujee’ currently sits at the top of the charts and it also has a feature from another new star in rap, Lil Uzi Vert.
But obviously, some don’t yet see the iconic status that is Migos. One organization, in particular, is the NFL. Granted, they had bad experiences in the past with some Super Bowl performers so their selections of musical acts following the Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson 2004 incident were rather tame, but Super Bowl 45 in 2011 started a new trend.
Since then, the Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Madonna, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry have all been the halftime acts. For Super Bowl 51, the scheduled act is supposed to be Lady Gaga but there’s a small push brewing to get Migos in her spot as the performance.
Justin G from San Fransisco started a petition on Change.org to get Migos as the Super Bowl 51 halftime show. He even planned out a full list of acts who could join the group including Jay-Z, Future, Outkast, Ludacris and Young Jeezy. Check it out.
Very Simple, the Atlanta Falcons are in the Super Bowl and it’s gonna be in Houston. Two of the TRILLEST hip hop communities under ONE ROOF. Your entertainment choices have to change RIGHT NOW.
Preshow should be Rae Sremmurd, Gucci, Goodie Mob, Luda and Young Jeezy.
Young Thug needs to sing “Guwop Home”, the official anthem of Atlanta.
Andre 3000 should sing the national anthem with Erykah Badu. By sing I mean hit Donald Trump with a FIRE 64 bars.
Halftime should be Migos killing Bad and Boujee, Future kills em with March Madness, then Outkast comes out and does an AQUEMINI sampler and then they end it with BUN B and JAY Z DOING BIG PIMPIN!!!! If you’re gonna put on a show for billions THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW
It really sounds like a lit night. Especially considering the big dud that was the 2016 NFL season and subsequent playoffs. It would bring some excitement to a slow NFL season.
Justin’s petition now has over 13,000 signatures. Be sure to do your part and sign this beautiful document.
Seriously, though, NFL. You gotta do it for the Culture. Pun fully intended.
