Bad and Boujee

Released as the lead single from Culture, this track established Migos as mainstream leaders in trap music through a minimalist beat and repetitive hooks. The song first appeared on the Quality Control Music YouTube channel in late August 2016 before its official commercial drop in October. Quavo, Offset, and Lil Uzi Vert penned the lyrics while Metro Boomin handled production alongside G Koop.

Internet culture propelled the record to the top of the charts when users began remixing the "rain drop, drop top" line into viral memes during December 2016. Donald Glover amplified this momentum by shouting out the track at the 2017 Golden Globes, pushing the song to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending January 21, 2017. This achievement marked the first chart-topping hit for both Migos and Lil Uzi Vert.

The recording session history includes a notable absence of member Takeoff, who did not appear on the final version. Quavo later explained that Takeoff was simply unavailable during the recording process rather than being excluded due to conflict. The accompanying video directed by Colin Tilley showcases luxury vehicles and fashion in Atlanta, accumulating over one billion views on YouTube. [edit]
