    it is very good could listen to but not a lot because it feels so rushed to me even though it was good I thought it kind of failed to be even close to the og culture

    15 Great songs are good for me, everything has different productions all of them deliver and not that bored,,, While there is 9 songs that are fillers, too longs, weak hook and recycled song from Cutlure 1. ---15 Good song is considered a great album, you just have to make your own playlist.

    Culture 1 was way better. This is just too long and boring. There are some hits, but it isn't enough.

    This album is straight up trash; those 24 songs sound the same from start to finish. Nothing is interesting about the Migos. There just a mumble rap group who are nothing but a generic group. And you know me I hate mumble rap.

    The album has a very bad mix, and its compositions completely unbearable and that are two in the maximum music that give to save in this album! We have tracks completely, which with seconds we have to jump. It's not an unbeatable album, but my nomination would not have.

    The Migos continue to underwhelm, producing another project where each track sounds like the last. It did not evolve from its predecessor, and the rapping is lackluster, with the flows and rhymes both being basic and lame.

    CULTURE 2 is a decent album, but just too long. The album should be the same length as CULTURE 1. The beats and production were a little bit boring but still good. Takeoff saved the album from a 6 til an 8. Hope migos next album is shorter an ONLY fire.

    There is an album in there somewhere that might be nearly as good as the first "Culture", but it gets dragged down by a lot of filler on this overbloated sequel.

    I think this one will eventually go down as a classic because of its consistency and really tight production (for the most part). It seems like people didn't want to digest it because of how hyped up Migos have been lately and how high the expectations became.

The songs stand up to replays well and there's a lot more to digest than it seems on a first listen. The attention to detail is strong and you can tell that Migos really put their hearts into it. The production quality is among the best you'll hear in hip-hop - extremely detailed and sharp, and well mastered as well. All the complaints about length seem lazy to me. This is an album you can really spend serious time with.… Expand

    What the hell is this album? I'll tell you what it is: it is a cash grab!

    This album is a very over-saturated 24 tracks in length. It's got too much filler in my opinion. If they'd pruned it more it could have been a really solid tape but there's too many generic songs on this one. Some really good highlights though. Kinda just what you expect from Migos at this point, now that they're more of a commercial group.

    Culture II is everything I wanted. The number of misses on this album can be counted on one hand. The beats and production are phenomenal. I can understand the lyrics not cutting it for some people but you can not deny how good it sounds. Offset and Takeoff go AWF. Honestly Quavo is a singer and not a rapper, the weakest parts of this album come from some of his verses. Offset and TakeoffCulture II is everything I wanted.

    I see plenty of evolution from Culture. Narcos, Stir Fry, Crown The Kings, Notice Me come to mind. But I don't need that much of a change from Culture honestly, this sound has not gotten old for me. Top 10 tracks in no order: Supastars, Narcos, BBO, Walk It Talk It, Stir Fry, Crown The Kings, Movin' Too Fast, MotorSport, Notice Me, Emoji a Chain. The features are just so fire.

    Love this album, will be bumping for many years to come !    … Expand

    C U L T U R E is not a masterpiece. It is an entertaining record, however, filled with strong trap bangers and tight flow from the trio that made it more than just a standard trap rap affair.

And this is true as the follow-up to their blockbuster C U L T U R E album, Culture II, is a bloated slog. At over an hour and a half long, Culture II is all the worst traits of Migos, three rappers that spit whatever comes to their mind no matter how embarrassing (i.e. the line about Huggies) or repetitive the hooks are while riding on boring, midtempo, and stiff beats that do nothing but become a bore if you aren't in the mood for the songs. I don't hate this album as much as a lot of people do, but this is still a mediocre album that often just runs together for me and it doesn't feature much of any unique characteristics. There are a few exceptions with the album. Stir Fry is an absolute banger, no thanks to Pharrell Williams, Open It Up is pretty climactic and grandiose, and BBO does have some swagger to it. But for the most part it's the Migos doing their usual MO in what is otherwise an over glorified mixtape. You can't blame them for milking the streaming game, you can only blame the audience that eats this up and making Migos popular.… Expand

    Amongst the filler are several quality tracks; but as an album, Culture 2 does not provide a strong delivery. A bloated album that seems more like a quickly put together mixtape with a deliberately extensive track-list to maximise streaming profits and sales numbers. Stir Fry a strong standout track.

    "Culture", even if didn't blow me away, was probably one of the entertaining rap albums of 2017. However, this album it's the perfect example of "glorified mixtape".

A few song here and there are standouts like Stir Fry, Narcos, Emoji A Chain, Motorsport and Gang Gang, but aside of that even the performances that I expected be great were just forgettable like Posty or Gucci Mane. I HIGHLY recommend you pick a few songs instead listen to the full project, because it's a boring waste of your precious time.… Expand

    8/10 The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and this sequel to the Migos most critically acclaimed album C U L T U R E continues the same quality in production, same themes, and same vibe over a much more colorful sound pallet and bloated tracklist.

    It has always been easy to listen to the trio, full of upbeat tempos and very fun instrumentals. C U L T U R E was a surprising album from them, in that it took trap into a more tasteful direction, and it was clear that Migos were quite meticulous in their selection of what made the cut and where each track belongs to make sure the album never sleeps. In this sequel, the bloated track listing seems a little more sloppy. and that is one of the faults of this album. Each song, though, flows rather consistently and holds quality trap production that most contemporaries would ditch for a more DIY type of instrumental. With that being said, and just like its predecessor, the album seems very high quality and doesn't feel like a very rough cut like a lot of trap albums. Overall, its fun sequel to its original that includes many more catchy tunes that varies in their style.

No. These beats should've gone on that trash jack huncho project. It's crazy because the 12 best songs on here would beat Culture and be a 7+ but it's ridiculously long and doesn't have any flow. Pharrell's stir fry beat and Made Men are some of the best choices they made here BBO and Culture National Anthem aren't bad either. The problem is that good moments are spoiled by bad moments. It's not a bad album but it's unbearable for some listeners for this reason. A rap group that really doesn't need to give haters another reason to hate them did just that with this release.… Expand
