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. The group later released another mixtape titled "No Label" in 2012, which featured "Bando", a track that was 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 Appétit" 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.

Migos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took his bitch, he mad at me
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
I took the plug's package
He was like what happened
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
Scooby Doo, it was a mystery
Touchdown, going down in history
Sorry you missed me, call Scooby Doo, it's a mystery

Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically

Finessing the plug with accuracy, now he after me
Got 100 Ps in the Sprinter, nigga no athlete
And I got that chicken, no Mrs. Winners
Meet the plug at the KFC and I finesse his ass after dinner
Call me Quavo the Godzilla
Red Bentley, Forgiatos on it, call it thriller
Diamonds thrill her in Manila
Fuck her from the back, I'm facing a pillar
You pull up with choppers but are you a killer?
Mirror mirror, got a riddle for you fuck niggas
What if you get in a pickle?
If you catch a body would you tell on your peer?
If you hold it down, keep it 100, you real
Samurai sword cut the brick, Kill Bill
I trap out the mansion on Beverly Hill
RIP to Uncle Phil, fresh prince, call me Quavo Will
I know that this money a blessing
I'm thanking the lord when I kneel
We the only niggas in the city having seals
Naw, for real!

I took his bitch, he mad at me
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
I took the plug's package
He was like what happened
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
Scooby Doo, it was a mystery
Touchdown, going down in history
Sorry you missed me, call Scooby Doo, it's a mystery
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically

Feeling like Marshawn Lynch in the interview, I'm thankful
Walk in the room with these trophies on my neck like you in a banquet
You acting like you really tough but you soft in the heart, you a diamond
Young nigga hopped off the porch, I was anxious
Just a young nigga old niggas embraced
Juug and finesse a nigga on my faith
Keep a little grip on my pistol, say my grace
We in the jungle, my niggas go ape
Whipping the dummy, this what I create
I fuck your bitch while you take her on dates
Nobody know I smash her on my lake
Talking fast to the plug, juuged him for 8
Stacking bricks, LA Clippers, call me Blake
Thanking the lord for my situation
Used to have bricks on the intersection
Sipping Act, daily medication
Who really real in investigations
You gonna tell because what you facing
He got out of jail and they couldn't trace it
It's a mystery, can't even solve the case
Don't be that nigga put on a plate

I took his bitch, he mad at me
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
I took the plug's package
He was like what happened
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
Scooby Doo, it was a mystery
Touchdown, going down in history
Sorry you missed me, call Scooby Doo, it's a mystery
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically

Finesse him with accuracy
Running with the work, police tryna tackle me
Short days, long nights, trapping at the Quality Control factory
Abracadabra, work disappear magically
I'm in the kitchen whipping, it's a tragedy
Whipping the masterpiece, then I go smoke on my balcony
My niggas and family count on me
Trapping that snow white in that van, they calling me ice cream man
I see trash bags but no trash, nigga I'm the trash bag man
I see red and white blue lights, undercover lurking in the Sedan
Start with a cutie, break it down
Bag it up, wrap it up, that was the plan
Now I'm pitching soft and curveballs
Or I can pitch it to you underhand
Remember trapping out of Camrys
Until we won Grammys
Now you niggas cannot step on my property or my grass, feel like I'm Stanley
I took his bitch, he mad at me
Fuck em fuck em, pull up on him in the alley

I took his bitch, he mad at me
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
I took the plug's package
He was like what happened
It was a mystery, Scooby Doo and Shaggy
Scooby Doo, it was a mystery
Touchdown, going down in history
Sorry you missed me, call Scooby Doo, it's a mystery

Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically
Finessing with accuracy, abracadabra it's magically

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Scooby & Shaggy” by Migos speak to the lifestyle that some rappers live, which involves achieving success through illegal means. Essentially, the song depicts the Migos and their cohorts pulling off a successful heist and “finessing” their way out of the situation. Throughout the song, the lyrics reference various pop-culture figures, such as Scooby Doo and Shaggy, which heightens its irreverent and playful tone.

The first verse relays that the Migos took a woman from someone, which caused him to become angry. The situation is painted as a mystery, with the likening of the Migos to Scooby Doo and Shaggy, two fictional characters known for solving mysteries. The chorus repeats the idea that the Migos are a mystery, with the line “call Scooby Doo, it’s a mystery.” The second verse goes on to describe how the Migos are able to outsmart the “plug” (presumably a drug dealer), highlighting their ability to finesse the situation. The final verse denotes how the Migos’ success has led them from the days of trapping out of Camrys to winning Grammy Awards, which they claim has provided them with the ability to keep people off their property.

Don't be that person who is vulnerable or weak

Finesse him with accuracy
Trick him with precision

Running with the work, police tryna tackle me
I'm running with drugs and the police are trying to arrest me

Short days, long nights, trapping at the Quality Control factory
Days are short, nights are long, and I'm selling drugs at Quality Control music studio

Abracadabra, work disappear magically
Making drugs disappear like magic

I'm in the kitchen whipping, it's a tragedy
I'm cooking drugs in the kitchen and it's a dangerous and sad process

Whipping the masterpiece, then I go smoke on my balcony
I'm cooking amazing drugs and then leisurely smoking while enjoying the view from my balcony

My niggas and family count on me
My friends and family rely on me

Trapping that snow white in that van, they calling me ice cream man
Selling cocaine out of my van, they call me the ice cream man

I see trash bags but no trash, nigga I'm the trash bag man
I only see drug-filled bags, I am the drug dealer

I see red and white blue lights, undercover lurking in the Sedan
I see police lights and an undercover car watching me

Start with a cutie, break it down
Start with a drug that's easy to sell, then break it down into smaller portions

Bag it up, wrap it up, that was the plan
Package it up carefully, that was the strategy

Now I'm pitching soft and curveballs
Now I'm selling weaker drugs and using different methods

Or I can pitch it to you underhand
Or I can sell it to you informally and easily
