From Migos to activists do it For the culture has taken precedent as a way to represent and take pride in the culture you come from.
You may have noticed a new phrase, Do it for the culture or For the culture for short, being used throughout social media, social outings, music and TV&film. We all want to know what it means and where did this phrase come from.
Rap power group Migos first coined the term when other rappers allegedly refused to give them credit for rap flow and their impact in the hip hop industry/culture. Migos went on to call these rappers “culture vultures”. Culture vultures is a term implicating that people steal or take from a culture without giving due credit, allowing themselves to benefit and not the culture. In this particular case rappers stole and used Migos flow to their benefit. However if you ask Joe Budden, it’s the years you put in for the culture that gives you the right to say you’re doing it for the culture.
