🧐 The “Dance With The Dogs In The Nighttime” verse being sung by Quavo along with hook was ENTIRELY penned by Pharrell. That’s why these parts don’t sound like typical Migos fare. Because it’s not.
The funniest thing for me is that in the video Quavo counts 100 ruble bills and it is about $2 in US currency. So, every time you will watch this video, you must imagine Quavo bragging with $2 bills. Of course, he's probably thought "Oh, it's 100 of money, so it must be a lot".
I saw (I'm from Russia) 500 rubles bill, which is about $10. But of course it's still funny. The biggest bill in Russia is 5000 rubles (about $100), they should have use them
Some (but not all) reasons why "Dance with the dogs in the night-time" works: 1. The alliteration of "dance" and "dogs" 2. The structure of the line: "with the" and "in the" are both sets of two unstressed syllables (DANCE with the DOGS in the etc) - so the effect is really rhythmic and full of movement (like a dance...) 3. The reason why it sounds like Victorian poetry is probably bc "night-time" isn't a word you hear used in pop music a lot, so it sounds older
Isabella Morris But this? There are even different levels of books. This shit Dr Seuss. I have no doubt this is art but there is good art and there is bad art. I would call it pretty bad if we are talking about lyrics. But then art is subjective so I guess you can call it good well thought out, deep art.
Well many gonvernments have adopted the system of democracy. Copied the Greeks. So Migos is saying they are the democracy in rap. The new system everyone is catching on to..... Or its just random words
I am leaning more towards random words. It's come to the point now, that we as fans have to attribute deeper meaning to song lyrics( even when there are none), just to be able to defend it. Sad, what happened to my beloved Hip Hop smh. At least when people sucked in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s...at least they were actually trying to write coherent lyrics.
Wish Migos would hop on more production like this. They'd be untouchable. And yeah, Culture 2 was overbloated with mediocre songs. Coming from someone who still listens to the first Culture every now and again.
Jay Romeo and that's part of the problem with hip hop music today, the best artists are underground or not hugely popular while those like Migos are with their pedestrian talent. :(
If Migos hopped on production like this, they’d be making hits left and right and then you’d see other artist and producers trying to have a similar sound, eventually having it get repetitive and it would get played out.
6:45 This reminds me of the bridge of the Twenty One Pilots song "Message Man", reflecting on the lack of effort in some pop and rap music: "People they rhyme like this, we're all impressed by this They rip it, flip it but these are just triplets Wrote this in three minutes, three words to a line It's just poetry divided..."
It's good to see some positive rap reviews as well. It's easy to get stuck in the rut of hating all of it, which can make it look like the entire genre is trash. But seeing the positives to it as well is important.
I really enjoy your videos. It may be a good idea to start thinking about your set, just having the wall is a bit bland. Putting the camera a little farther back, and setting up a rap related display would add a lot to your videos.
Scru Reactions wrong word association. Like prejudice and racism, people tend to use misogyny, sexism and objectivism interchangeably. Which does more harm than good. Then again America's are lazy, we like to have one word mean a hundred different things.
bigshotlukas199 but he doesn’t only mention the girls butt he’s talking about girls or “the girl” through out the song. Why is it misogyny to say “this girl has a big butt” what if she’s proud of her big butt? Do we just assume pointing it out is bad?
The line for boogers on my neck would of made more sense if it was like gold on their neck. Making reference to the booger picking term "digging for gold".
I’d love to hear you talk about pharrell and puffy being the angel and devil and hip hop creativity, it’s a very interesting concept! I know you’d never make a video on it though
came back to this video 5 years later for a misc. reason. to this day my best bet for what they meant by 'democracy you wanna copy me' is that people want to copy him the same way countries copied the concept of democracy.
Back in the early 2000s , In nyc they use to call ear rings with the big diamonds and the folded back , boogers cause they hung down on the ears but idk about chains or rings called boogers
I dig your videos bro, you may be like 20 years older than you, but you breaking down of lyrical content is phenomenal because I can't really disagree with your assessments, mad respect bro!
Yo Rap critic, you said you didn't know about patek, but I could've sworn you talked about Untouchable by Pusha T at one point, maybe you overlooked it but one of my fav lines from it was "Legend has it, the wrist is magic The left is Patek, Philippe's replaced by Matsuhisa"
“I didn’t even know about these watch brands until they brought it up” Hm... it’s almost like they could be paid by the watch brands to promote their product.... hm................
The part about using multisyllabic rhyme schemes to guide your verse is so dead on and one of the most fun/challenging aspects of writing raps. Is Rap Critic an artist himself or just that great of a student of music theory?
6:12 I think what the line really means is that he wants you to stop watching him and copying him because it’s a democracy...wait, that makes less sense
6:09 Maybe the democracy line was a play on the fact that it sounds like it has the word “mock” in it? I’m probably stretching but that’s the best I got.
That Outkast clip you played isn't really an example of the trap "triplet flow" because the beat has a 3 feel and is in 6/8 or something, so he's just subdividing normally. On the other hand, Migos spit triplets over syncopated beats in duple meters, creating a catchy rhythmic dissonance.
Rap Critic making his comment about Diddy being the devil of hip is like what Toddstradamus makes one of his predictions that he’s right about and thus ages well. 😂
Not a Migos fan, but these clips make me want to listen to the track. Well. the instrumental anyway. lol Missed a chance @ 3:55 to so the whip dance motion, son! :)
7:46 I think I understand the connection with curry chicken and drugs. If they call cocaine chicken, the curry aspect would refer to the practice of putting a layer of hot sauce on top of the encased drugs to throw off the scent for drug dogs.
7:30 curry is usually yellow.....coke is a yellowish color. when you cook up, it tans and will look more like curry. was actually a creative way instead of saying butter or tan like they usually do. white coke is usually stepped on/remix/cut

Rap Critic I missed you 😭❤️
Rap Critic lord Infamous of three six mafia pioneered the triplet flow in the late 90s and early 2000s .
Rap Critic 3:56-4:02: Your dancing. 😂
King’s dead next?
Are you starting locs?
"You ever dance with the dogs in the night time?"
'What?"
"I always ask that of all my prey. I just like the sound of it."
🧐
The “Dance With The Dogs In The Nighttime” verse being sung by Quavo along with hook was ENTIRELY penned by Pharrell. That’s why these parts don’t sound like typical Migos fare. Because it’s not.
dude I was thinking it was pharrell made. Migos is literally future but three people
Pharrell produced this song 10 years ago for T.I's album but it was scrapped, it's beautiful.
bigshotlukas199 Pharrell has always been a good 10 years ahead his time
Yeah, but people don't usually mean that so literally, haha. (10 years ahead of his time)
T.i wouldn’t have done this beat right idk. Not his style.
Pharrel material from the 90s still sounds futuristic now. Him and timbaland are pioneers.
Aimi Geη it probably still did, fast triplet hi hats were heard in mainstream rap since the late 90s
I love the idea that Offset doesn’t realise his mistake and the other two are just laughing as he calls diamonds boogers
Pharrell is the Real Genius behind this song.
HE SAVED THE SONG LOL
Yep
Nikhil Bhagat Pharrell is the only genius behind this song...
Nate by bad *The Only Genius
Nikhil Bhagat it takes another force to make a Migos song great because those 3 guys aren’t enough.
Once I heard the keys in this I immediately thought 'Pharell had his hand in this'. Glad to know he is still making sick funky beats.
The funniest thing for me is that in the video Quavo counts 100 ruble bills and it is about $2 in US currency.
So, every time you will watch this video, you must imagine Quavo bragging with $2 bills.
Of course, he's probably thought "Oh, it's 100 of money, so it must be a lot".
KS ED I don’t know how to reply to this.
The least believable part of the conspiracy is that Trump has sexual value in the white slavery markets.
I saw (I'm from Russia) 500 rubles bill, which is about $10. But of course it's still funny. The biggest bill in Russia is 5000 rubles (about $100), they should have use them
I mean he is showing respect, we gotta appreciate it
@@seymourglass26 tf are you talking about
Rap Critic got dreads in now ready to get them dyed and become a mumble rapper now, huh?
Piccolo Lil Critic
Read beads like I'm lil Yatchy
Nice
Lil Krit
Or shave half of them off and become Critic Killmonger.
RC, are... are those dreads underneath that hat of yours?
Yehoshua Smith pretty sure they are
Seems like it.
Yehoshua Smith ever since he started making positive migos review he decided to join the mumble rap scene and grow some dreads
michael johnson Dreads are part of the mumble rap scene? I didn't know that. I try to avoid that shitty music like the plague.
Nope theyre burnt cheetos
Culture II overall was lame but this song is great, the mixture of styles works so well
TheRealBeatMaster The album would’ve been solid if they cut the filler. There’s like 7 or 8 songs that are quality
Yeah 4/5 is a pretty fair rating. Very enjoyable party song even if some of the lyrics are kinda off.
Living Abstraction it’s the best you’re gonna get with trap really
Really? This deserves the same rating as Fragile by Tech N9ne?
Some (but not all) reasons why "Dance with the dogs in the night-time" works:

Isabella Morris
You are thinking to hard about this. Lyrics dancing? You can't be serious. They wouldn't even say that
It's the same way professional critics talk about books. Hip-hop is art just like literature is and deserves the same amount of time and attention.
Isabella Morris
But this? There are even different levels of books. This shit Dr Seuss.
I have no doubt this is art but there is good art and there is bad art.
I would call it pretty bad if we are talking about lyrics.
But then art is subjective so I guess you can call it good well thought out, deep art.
emperor of the felines it's a joke -_-
Not to mention it fits in a bar.
Well many gonvernments have adopted the system of democracy. Copied the Greeks. So Migos is saying they are the democracy in rap. The new system everyone is catching on to..... Or its just random words
BigPrometheus This is Migos. The words are random.
Or he's a Radical Individualist™ and Democracy requires people to become increasingly similar in order to achieve a majority on any given issue.
I am leaning more towards random words. It's come to the point now, that we as fans have to attribute deeper meaning to song lyrics( even when there are none), just to be able to defend it. Sad, what happened to my beloved Hip Hop smh. At least when people sucked in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s...at least they were actually trying to write coherent lyrics.
If they actually meant that, then that’s brilliant
ENJ4321 Isn't that good? People trying to learn something?
Wish Migos would hop on more production like this. They'd be untouchable.
And yeah, Culture 2 was overbloated with mediocre songs. Coming from someone who still listens to the first Culture every now and again.
Jay Romeo and that's part of the problem with hip hop music today, the best artists are underground or not hugely popular while those like Migos are with their pedestrian talent. :(
Not only do I disagree completely, that has nothing to do with my comment.
TheBeelzboss lmao nice correlation to the comment. If you have the talent, put the work in and get a little bit lucky you will be succesful
Untouchable ? Lol
If Migos hopped on production like this, they’d be making hits left and right and then you’d see other artist and producers trying to have a similar sound, eventually having it get repetitive and it would get played out.
Some of y'all lames really can't handle Rap Critic's newfound open-mindedness smh 😪
That the New Orleans bounce sound to it.
I laughed so hard at the boogers part XD you are one of the oily youtubers I have ever encountered that consistently makes me laugh out loud
I've been waiting for this a long time
6:45 This reminds me of the bridge of the Twenty One Pilots song "Message Man", reflecting on the lack of effort in some pop and rap music:
"People they rhyme like this, we're all impressed by this

Democracy is a greek idea and everyone else in the world compied it. thats what he means
See, they need to write a line that reinforces that, otherwise the lyric doesn't work. If there isn't enough to make the lyric make sense, it fails
That Victorian Era line is classic
i often revisit rc reviews , he feels like an overly sweet goofy dad that nobody ever had but wanted
I really enjoy your videos. It may be a good idea to start thinking about your set, just having the wall is a bit bland. Putting the camera a little farther back, and setting up a rap related display would add a lot to your videos.
Facts
Wait so even mentioning a girl has a big booty is misogyny now? Holy crap I can’t keep up with this offense culture lol
Scru Reactions wrong word association. Like prejudice and racism, people tend to use misogyny, sexism and objectivism interchangeably. Which does more harm than good.
Then again America's are lazy, we like to have one word mean a hundred different things.
John Mista yeah I think people have literally forgotten what words mean, as long as it sound right lol.
Scru Reactions wait saying a girl is hot and attractive is misogyny
bigshotlukas199 but he doesn’t only mention the girls butt he’s talking about girls or “the girl” through out the song. Why is it misogyny to say “this girl has a big butt” what if she’s proud of her big butt? Do we just assume pointing it out is bad?
Falloutlover1011 I give up lol
I knew it. I heard Stir Fry and just thought, “man, this sounds like Pharrell” and I was fucking right.
The line for boogers on my neck would of made more sense if it was like gold on their neck.
Making reference to the booger picking term "digging for gold".
dreadlocks?
twist. i told him i should dread it but he has a great strong hair he wants out so *shrug
I’d love to hear you talk about pharrell and puffy being the angel and devil and hip hop creativity, it’s a very interesting concept! I know you’d never make a video on it though
Apparently listening to Outkast summons a new Rap Critic video for me
makes sense to me
If not at least you're listening to Outkast and can't complain about that.
So glad you reviewed this 👌👌
came back to this video 5 years later for a misc. reason. to this day my best bet for what they meant by 'democracy you wanna copy me' is that people want to copy him the same way countries copied the concept of democracy.
The red hair tho
Saying a woman has a big booty is misogyny?????????
Yes according to Rap Critic we can't say anything about women.
uploaded on ma birthday yay
After all these years of watching RC...HE STILL HAS THE SAME CAMERA
Back in the early 2000s , In nyc they use to call ear rings with the big diamonds and the folded back , boogers cause they hung down on the ears but idk about chains or rings called boogers
I dig your videos bro, you may be like 20 years older than you, but you breaking down of lyrical content is phenomenal because I can't really disagree with your assessments, mad respect bro!
Pharrell is great tbh.
he saved the song he is dope
Feel like its more of a 3/5. Not awful, but not great. Has some pretty nice parts though.
amRico 5/5
Maybe even 2.5 or 2. I seriously don't get how tech n9ne - fragile and this mediocre non sense can have the same rating.
Veroe September Different strokes for different folks my friend.
Maybe definitely not 4. Quality man. Someone check Rap Critic's bank account.
Veroe September You not hearing me my brotha. Art, music, quality is alll subjective. Its not a 4 for you but for someone out there its a 5.
Yo Rap critic, you said you didn't know about patek, but I could've sworn you talked about Untouchable by Pusha T at one point, maybe you overlooked it but one of my fav lines from it was "Legend has it, the wrist is magic
The left is Patek, Philippe's replaced by Matsuhisa"
That thumbnail is adorable.
Video was nice to, call back to og Kung Fu films I like
Keep killing it sir!
oH wOw ItS tHe MiGoS
Man, I'm in the mood for some takeout now...
Migos and pharrell need to work more often
Didn't realise that was a Mohawk sample.
I'm not a big fan of the Migos, but I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds guilty pleasure in this song.
“I didn’t even know about these watch brands until they brought it up”
Hm... it’s almost like they could be paid by the watch brands to promote their product.... hm................
The part about using multisyllabic rhyme schemes to guide your verse is so dead on and one of the most fun/challenging aspects of writing raps.
Is Rap Critic an artist himself or just that great of a student of music theory?
My dog sits up proudly with dance with my dogs in the nighttime
Lets not forgot the music video
6:12 I think what the line really means is that he wants you to stop watching him and copying him because it’s a democracy...wait, that makes less sense
Walk It Talk It?? 👀👀
6:09 Maybe the democracy line was a play on the fact that it sounds like it has the word “mock” in it? I’m probably stretching but that’s the best I got.
I heard this song and instantly thought "What does the Rap Critic think about this?" I think I even asked you on Twitter.
Dude your a great youtuber
Awesome video once again rap critic!
6:00 Is that why some folk say "they're digging for gold" when referring to someone picking their nose?
Yessss
You should make a list every time you do a video on a song with more than one artist where you judge their performances on worst to best
That thumbnail tho 💀
Pharrell was definitely the creative genius behind this song, but migos had their own sound and they executed this song really well.
I think he was saying "if you don't like what we're doing, vote by not watching us."
That Outkast clip you played isn't really an example of the trap "triplet flow" because the beat has a 3 feel and is in 6/8 or something, so he's just subdividing normally. On the other hand, Migos spit triplets over syncopated beats in duple meters, creating a catchy rhythmic dissonance.
Do "Walk it talk it" - Migos
Dance with the dogs in the nighttime actually makes a lot of sense if you realize that 2018 for the Chinese is the year of the dog
I enjoy your content a hell of a lot more when you review a song you like like this and purple lamborghini
Is this Stanley from the office
Wow I'm actually mad that you didn't bring up the thumbnails a joke
This is every mother's favorite Migos song lol
I thought Pharrell was Jaiden Smith when I first saw the video
Rap Critic making his comment about Diddy being the devil of hip is like what Toddstradamus makes one of his predictions that he’s right about and thus ages well. 😂
Didn't a RUclips food channel made a stir fry recipe with Migos in the video ?
"Paddock" could also mean they got horses.
I'm pretty sure that the democracy line had to do with the Water Gate Incident, but I'm not completely sure
Man that bird's eye/ birds fly line is ripped from Changes by J. Cole
i think the democracy line was referring to the government
3:57 I never thought I see the day.... RC dancing to trap music
Seriously though Pharell destroyed that instrumental.
David Fontenot this song is not trap in any way😂
Finally!
I thought he was literally talking about taking a whip it break before selling his caine
Rap Critic the only dude to spend 8 minutes shitting on a song and then be like, "ya I like this song."
Why so late man it's 330 am
is the universe about to collapse? I like a Migos song. I don't know what I should do now...
Yes
I love that outkast song
I just realized this song sounds a lot like Back that Azz Up...like down to the ad libs
Not a Migos fan, but these clips make me want to listen to the track. Well. the instrumental anyway. lol Missed a chance @ 3:55 to so the whip dance motion, son! :)
I don’t see how “big ole onion booty, make the world cry” is misogyny more than just general objectification which is pretty expected and fine
7:46 I think I understand the connection with curry chicken and drugs. If they call cocaine chicken, the curry aspect would refer to the practice of putting a layer of hot sauce on top of the encased drugs to throw off the scent for drug dogs.
You should do some Meek Mill reviews sometime (that aren't diss tracks about Drake), particularly the infamous Dreams and Nightmares
We see them dreads
7:30 curry is usually yellow.....coke is a yellowish color. when you cook up, it tans and will look more like curry. was actually a creative way instead of saying butter or tan like they usually do. white coke is usually stepped on/remix/cut
How About white Iverson by post malone or any post song I want to know your opinion on him
Can you please do a video on what the price by migos it’s so great
Or Headstone by Flatbush Zombies
Bruh, man reacts to Stir Fry but not 44 More!?!?!
Anybody else think of Chinese food when this song play lol😂
"watching me, democracy and copy me; all rhyme so so who cares if the line actual makes sense?" -the Migos
