Originally the group started as family, who all had an interest in music. It wasn't until 2008 that this trio took their talent seriously, and put together and released their first project "Juug Season" in 2011. Tβhe group later released another mixtape titled "No Label" in 2012, which featured "Bando", a track that wasβ soon labeled a "dope-boy anthem".
In 2013, Migos released their breakout single "Versace". The single was produced by Zaytoven and peaked at number 99 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Later that year, Canadian rapper Drake brought the single more recognition when he remixed the song, adding a verse, which he would later perform at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival. On June 13, Migos released their mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich N***as), which features the lead single "Versace", to critical acclaim. Brandon Soderberg of Spin gave it 8 out of 10 stars, commenting that it "is a super-cut of Dirty South vibes" and compared the three members to Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, and Future.
On June 15, 2013, the group performed at rap radio station Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash. In October 2013, the group was featured in XXL's section "Show & Prove". "Versace" was placed in multiple year-end lists of 2013, including number three on XXL's "The 25 Best Songs of 2013", number four on Complex's "The 50 Best Songs of 2013", number five on SPIN's "50 Best Songs of 2013," number 38 on Pitchfork's "The Top 100 Tracks of 2013" and number 69 on Rolling Stone's "The 100 Best Songs of 2013." Y.R.N. (Young Rich N***as) was named the 27th-best album of 2013 and sixth-best hip-hop album of 2013 by SPIN.
Migos released their debut album Yung Rich Nation in July 2015, through Quality Control Music and 300 Entertainment. Their second album, Culture, was released in January 2017 also through both record labels, and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart. The group later signed a deal with Motown and Capitol Records in February 2017, and followed up the latter album with Culture II in January 2018, giving the group their second number one album in the United States.
On October 28, 2016, Migos released the first single of their new album Culture. The single was titled "Bad and Boujee". The song was produced by Metro Boomin and features vocals from fellow American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. The music video for the single was released on October 31. The single went on to top the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Migos' first number one single in the US. Their second album, Culture, was released on January 27, 2017. In April 2017, Migos were featured on Katy Perry song "Bon AppΓ©tit" from her fifth studio album, Witness.
On May 30, 2017, Migos (branded by Quality Control) released "Too Hotty" which is featured on the compilation album, Quality Control: Control the Streets Vol. 1 that was released on December 19, 2017. The single was officially released on streaming service on August 24, 2017. The music video was released on August 25.
On October 27, Migos officially released "MotorSport", the lead single off their second studio album Culture II, along with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. The second single, "Stir Fry", was released on December 20, 2017 on the official Migos YouTube channel. The song was produced by Pharrell Williams. The song was used for the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend. A promotional single was released on January 22, 2018, titled, "Supastars". It was produced by Honorable C.N.O.T.E., Buddah Bless, and Quavo; it was co-produced by DJ Durel. Culture II was released on January 26, 2018. The album contains twenty-four tracks, featuring production from Metro Boomin, Dun Deal, Murda Beatz, Travis Scott, Zaytoven and others.
In October 2018, Quavo stated that Culture III would be released in early 2019. The album was then delayed and re-scheduled for release in early 2020. However, the album was pushed back again, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quavo spoke to Billboard in March 2020, and announced the group's decision to hold off on the release of Culture III, explaining it was largely due to their inability to properly roll out the album once social distancing rules went into effect in most states in the US. Instead, the group will first release Quarantine Mixtape in the lead-up to Culture III.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buffie the Body, the buffer the fattest
Hitted the fool now he riding in the trunk
Rumpin & Bumpin I might hit a bump
A million a month is a lost to a boss
Don't pass me the blunt because I'm in a slump
Biggin' and juggin', bitch what do you want
I'm credit for dope til' the first of the month
You like it or leave it, or leave it alone
Slick with the stick and I'm cool with the chrome
One hit of the bong and I leave it alone
Lean and Patron, I know that it's wrong
I know that it's wrong but I jugg on the phone
The day that it came, the day that it gone
Day to day business, cause dope with a tone
Gucci and Ziggy, we back in the business
My pockets my piggy, I'm back on my throne
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan, diamond wrists, kicking like Liu Kang
Bruce Wayne, Bentley coupe, karate chop my brain
Alligator bally, Versace, Versace, Versace my ring
The j's they love the cocaine
They sniffing the dope off my ring
You know that I'm a magician
The packs I get it and flip it
This lean is killing my kidneys
These birds are singing like Whitney
Call me Jackie, my diamonds kicking,
I Came a long way from that midget
To pullin' up in Honda Civics
To dropping that top on my Bentley
Them Rush Hour I'm gettin' them Benji
I'm smoking on Jackie, my eyes is chinky
My money is long like a slinky
I fuck with a bitch look like Pinky
I'm Jackie Chan in my city
Where ever I go, I'm good, I can kick it
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan
My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan
My ring hit like Jackie Chan

My eyes look so Asian, man, 'cause I'm smoking that purple thing
Gucci Mane got stupid Jordans
My kick game on Jackie Chan
Me, Chris Tucker, ride through Tucker
Got pulled over, cause we're two black brothers
Chris Tucker stop laughin' man
This shit here ain't funny man
Rush Hour traffic, smoking that cabbage
Two diamond rings, they Jackie Chan
Gucci got hands like Jackie Chan
Better yet, nigga Chuck Norris
Nigga told me he was back balling
Two weeks later he was back borrowin
Jackie Chan bitch, my bitch ballin'
Jackie Chan bitch, my bitch foreign
Put your hands up for the black man
Keep your eyes up for the black fan
Gucci Mane and Zay, we back man
Not Pac-Man, it's Jackie Chan

[Outro]
The lyrics of Migos ft Gucci Mane's song Jackie Chan seem to be all over the place, but they actually convey the idea of being on top of the world, having everything you want and the power to do whatever you please. The first verse talks about having it all, from the flashy glasses to the expensive cars, and the confidence that comes with it. The line "Hitted the fool now he riding in the trunk" implies that anyone who tries to get in their way will be easily taken care of.
The chorus, "My diamonds hit like Jackie Chan, my ring hit like Jackie Chan," is a reference to the quality and extravagance of their jewelry, comparing it to the impact of a martial arts movie star. Gucci Mane's verse is a tribute to his own success and the journey he took to get there, from humble beginnings to making millions of dollars. He also references Jackie Chan's skills in martial arts, comparing them to his own abilities and swagger.
The last verse is a nod to the black community and the struggles they face, but with the message of perseverance and never giving up. The idea of being like Jackie Chan, a strong and powerful figure, is a way to inspire and motivate others to keep pushing forward.
Overall, the song delivers a message of confidence, success, and overcoming obstacles to reach the top.
Line by Line Meaning
Jackie Chan glasses, Rush Hour traffic
I'm headed to the top and I'm grinding hard through the obstacles
Buffie the Body, the buffer the fattest
I love beautiful, curvy women and she's the best of the best
Hitted the fool now he riding in the trunk
I took care of business and handled the competition, now they're out of the picture
Rumpin & Bumpin I might hit a bump
Even when I'm enjoying success, there are always challenges and setbacks
A million a month is a lost to a boss
I'm making so much money that even losing a million dollars a month doesn't faze me
Donβt pass me the blunt because Iβm in a slump
I gotta stay focused and on top of my game, so I can't afford to slip up or get distracted
Biggin' and juggin', bitch what do you want
I'm hustling and making money, so don't try to get in the way or slow me down
Iβm credit for dope til' the first of the month
I'm the one who supplies the drugs and gets paid first, before anyone else
Smoking a blunt and my trunk in the front
I'm living the good life and enjoying the fruits of my labor
You like it or leave it, or leave it alone
I don't have time for negativity or people who don't support me
Slick with the stick and Iβm cool with the chrome
I'm skilled with my weapon and ready to defend myself if necessary
One hit of the bong and I leave it alone
I'm not a heavy smoker, I'm disciplined and know my limits
Lean and Patron, I know that itβs wrong
I know these substances aren't good for me, but I can't help indulging sometimes
I know that itβs wrong but I jugg on the phone
I understand the risks, but I'm willing to take them for the sake of my business
The day that it came, the day that it gone
Life is fleeting and everything comes to an end sooner or later
Day to day business, cause dope with a tone
I'm always working and making money, even when I'm taking a break or relaxing with some music
Gucci and Ziggy, we back in the business
Me and my partners are back in the game and working hard
My pockets my piggy, Iβm back on my throne

The jβs they love the cocaine
The drug dealers love to buy from me and my crew
They sniffing the dope off my ring
They're so impressed with my jewelry and style that they even use it to snort their drugs
You know that Iβm a magician
I'm so skilled and impressive, it's like performing magic
The packs I get it and flip it
I buy and sell drugs and turn a profit on every transaction
This lean is killing my kidneys
I know these drugs are bad for my health, but I can't stop using them
These birds are singing like Whitney
The women I'm with are singing and moaning like Whitney Houston, they're so impressed with my skills
Call me Jackie, my diamonds kicking
My jewelry and style are so impressive, it's like Jackie Chan's legendary kicks
I Came a long way from that midget
I've come a long way from being underestimated and looked down upon
To pullin' up in Honda Civics
Now I'm successful and driving luxury cars, but I remember my humble beginnings
To dropping that top on my Bentley
I'm living the good life and enjoying the luxuries that come with my success
Them Rush Hour I'm gettin' them Benji
I'm making so much money it's like I'm in a high-speed chase in a Rush Hour movie
Iβm smoking on Jackie, my eyes is chinky
I'm high and relaxed, like smoking weed with Jackie Chan, and my eyes are squinted
My money is long like a slinky
I'm so rich and powerful, my money stretches out like a slinky toy
I fuck with a bitch look like Pinky
I'm attracted to women who look like Pinky, a famous adult film actress
Iβm Jackie Chan in my city
I'm the king of my city, like Jackie Chan in his movies

My kick game on Jackie Chan
My sneaker game is so strong and impressive, it's like Jackie Chan's legendary kicks
Me, Chris Tucker, ride through Tucker
I'm riding with my friend Chris Tucker, named after the town we're cruising through
Got pulled over, cause weβre two black brothers
We were racially profiled and stopped by the police because of our skin color
Chris Tucker stop laughin' man
We gotta be serious and cautious, Chris, this is no laughing matter
This shit here ainβt funny man
We're being harassed and targeted because of our race, it's not a joke
Rush Hour traffic, smoking that cabbage
We're stuck in traffic, but at least we have some weed to smoke
Two diamond rings, they Jackie Chan
My jewelry is so impressive and flashy, it has the same impact as Jackie Chan's moves
Gucci got hands like Jackie Chan
Gucci Mane is skilled and powerful, like Jackie Chan in his movies
Better yet, nigga Chuck Norris
Gucci is so skilled and powerful, he's even better than Chuck Norris

Two weeks later he was back borrowin
But just a few weeks later, he was already asking for a loan because he was broke
Jackie Chan bitch, my bitch ballin'
My woman is so successful and impressive, she's like Jackie Chan in her own way
Jackie Chan bitch, my bitch foreign
My woman is exotic and foreign, like Jackie Chan's international appeal
Put your hands up for the black man
Celebrate black excellence and success, put your hands up in support
Keep your eyes up for the black fan
We need to encourage and uplift our fans and supporters
Gucci Mane and Zay, we back man
Me and my partner Zaytoven are back in the game and ready to dominate
Not Pac-Man, itβs Jackie Chan
We're not here to play games or mess around, we're serious and powerful like Jackie Chan
