While we are only two weeks and three episodes in to its first season, Donald Glover’s Atlanta is THAT show. Seriously. Don’t believe us? Watch it yourself.
The acting is amazing, the storylines are epic and it is arguably the most authentically modern black experience on television.
Not to mention, the music…..the music!
hearing kodak black + shabazz palaces / seeing Quavo….this is the tv we need dawg. #AtlantaFx

On Tuesday night’s episode, Paper Boi (Brian Tyre Henry) and Darius (Keith Stanfield) find themselves in the woods amidst a drug deal with “the migos.” We didn’t think it until we actually saw it, but he literally meant…Migos – Quavo, Offset and Takeoff.
In an interview with Complex, Quavo says he’s always had a good relationship with Glover, so of course he had to appear. When asked had he thought about acting, the rapper said, “I really ain’t seen [the finished episode yet] so I really can’t tell you what I want to do. I want to see it and then can tell you like, ‘I want to further this sh*t.’ But hell yeah if that shit looking crazy, n***a, sign me up for something else, I’m ready.”
He said he’s a 90s baby, so that may be why you hear certain references in their songs. “That’s why you hear Mortal Kombat or Home Alone in all our lyrics because we grew up watching that sh*t.”
Aside from a potential Migos-Gambino collaboration, which would sound so promising, Quavo is hoping that they will appear on the show some more, saying, “If they call me back. Hopefully I did a good job and the people say this episode is the best episode and say ‘Bring Quavo back, bring The Migos back.'”
Twitter couldn’t take it after seeing the group’s appearance in Atlanta.
Give ’em all the awards, just to be honest.
Migos???? Acting?? On tv???? Get Childish Gambino an Emmy

What a time to be alive.
A nationally broadcast television show played Spray the Champagne by Migos and I am beyond overjoyed.
