Quavo is reflecting on one of the biggest moments in Migos' history and admits he didn't see the hit coming.
During his recent GOAT Talk segment with Rey Mysterio at ComplexCon, the Atlanta rapper opened up about songs he initially doubted, naming both "Taco Tuesday" and "Versace" as tracks he wasn't sure about when they were first recorded.
"I feel like I go in the studio and try my best," Quavo said. "I would say 'Taco Tuesday,' but people liked that shit. It was like a playful moment. The COVID era, quarantine, everybody was doing crazy shit in the house."
Then he went deeper, revealing that even Migos' career-defining single "Versace," the song that introduced their signature triplet flow to the mainstream, almost didn't make the cut.
"I would think like 'Versace' would be a crazy thing to drop, cause we were just in the studio saying 'Versace, Versace' like anybody else would be like, 'Man, cut that shit off. What the fuck y'all doing?'" Quavo admitted. "But that was the record that changed our life, and Drake got on that song. So sometimes your worst can be your best. You just gotta shoot your shot and keep trying."
Released in 2013, "Versace" became Migos' breakout moment, thanks to its repetition and luxury-themed hook. The song gained even more traction after Drake jumped on the official remix, propelling the trio from Atlanta's mixtape scene to national fame.
