It's no secret that Migos are now cultural staples. Their most recent project "Culture II" which dropped in late January passed over a Billion Streams in only a few weeks.The album which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart has produced smash hits "Motor Sport" (Feat. Nicki Minaj & Cardi B), "Stir Fry" (Feat. Pharrell), and the most recent success "Walk It Like I Talk It" (Featuring Drake). Whenever Migos and Drake get together their sure to make a bonified hit especially after they collaborated back in 2013 on the "Versace Remix", which became one of their breakout hits! 

Migos and Drake began teasing the "Walk It Like I Talk It" video posting images on Instagram of them on set wearing wigs. The "Soul Train"  inspired video which features a cameo from Jamie Foxx as host, was released only last week has already racked up over 33 Million views. The video has also spawned countless memes on social media about their outfit choice and Drake's hair... 

In a news report that came out this week an MSNBC reporter Ari Melber host of "The Beat With Ari Melber", used lyrics from "Walk It Like I Talk It" live on air. Melber was going on a rant about how President Trump is all talk no walk. The rant was also due to Trump's comments about planning an "Infrastructure Week", which he would use as a platform to help rebuild the Infrastructure of the Country. 

During his rant he quoted the hit song by Migos when referring to the President, using one of Quavo's lines saying:

"Or take a more modern bar, Quavo, from the musical group Migos, who says, 'Walk it like I talk it.' Cause if you don't walk the walk, it's just not real."

This isn't the first time Melber has shown love to the culture as back in October he welcomed Fat Joe & Talib Kweli onto his show to talk politics and Hip-Hop! In the past, he has also used Hip-Hop lyrics to describe The President citing 50 Cent's "Im a Hustler" lyric "I hate a liar more than I hate a thief/A thief is only after my salary/A liar is after my reality,". 

Shoutout to Ari Melber for repping the Culture!
