Several acts, including Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones, have been the subjects of misguided attempts to prove that an act exists that was of greater musical influence during the 20th Century than The Beatles. Maybe if you have a high-minded listener you can make the argument for Miles Davis. One act that probably didn't come to mind, unless you're Complex: Migos. The publication has come up with a short video giving ten reasons why the Atlanta hip-hop trio is a better act than the skiffle superstars.
And no, before you get too fired up, this isn't serious, based on entry no. 7—"Migos trumped on their own, not because of a Kanye West co-sign," referencing the dry humored incident where many in the media believed younger listeners had no idea who Paul McCartney was when he began working with West.
Our personal favorite: "Quevo never let Eric Clapton steal his girl. Unlike George Harrison." Ow...that's brutal.
Check out the ten obvious and less-than-obvious/logical reasons below and then watch the video at the bottom of the page to get the full musical experience.
01) "The Beatles want to hold your hand. Migos knock the pu*sy out like 'Fight Night.'"
02) "Migos flow > The Beatles flow"
03) "John Lennon imagined a world with no possessions, which means no 'Versace.'"
04) "Quevo never let Eric Clapton steal his girl. Unlike George Harrison."
05) "'Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds' < 'Offset in the sky with a Superman punch'"
06) "There are more Migos than Beatles." (as of 2015, we believe they mean)
07) "Migos triumphed on their own, not because of a Kanye West co-sign."
08) "There's no weak links in the Migos chain." (photo of Ringo Starr shown)
09) "Like the heartless cowards they are, The Beatles turned down an appearance on 'Fashion Bros.'" (after further research, we find these claims to be false. The Beatles were never offered a spot on the show.)
10) "The Beatles broke up. Migos will live forever." (debatable science)
