Damn, no edit either lol

It's called triplets because of the odd 1/3 timing in between even 1/4, 2/4, 4/4, 4/8 etc beats or time signature. The beat structure have to be even though. I don't think you can do triplets over a 3/3 time signature for example.

Good video. I much prefer when people temporarily switch to that flow for emphasis as opposed to when its used for a whole song.

Infamous & Skinny ?
Props for recognizing them. Still, it used to be funny listening to 97.1 back in the day for the freestyle section. EVERYBODY that called in sounded like a bootleg Lord/Skinny ? /Gangsta Boo (females). -
I've been meaning to ask this. Was it Chuck D that invented the triplet flow or lord infamous? Because i remember Chuck D using that same flow.

I don't think anyone claimed the South invented the flow. People say 3-6 made it popular, and they did. Chuck been around since 88, but nobody was jumping on that ? because he did it. -

a triplet sounds different depending who rapping
it's the evolution of what Street Military was doing and other pioneers
https://youtu.be/Ca8R2tFylfg
I think Street would mix it up never stay with one flow
that makes them better
I agree with Snoop that himmini hummini ? gotta go
Infamous would just repeat that triplet for the most part it's sounds robotic
while Street Military shift gears in and out the true pioneers !!!!
If the day ever come that I am rewarded with a mod spot. My first action in office will be banning you from IC property. Your ? ass will be posting from Pelican Bay after its all said & done

Poor Righteous Teachers/Jaz-O and Jay-Z /Twister/ Chip fu of the Fu Snickens/Daz EFX made it popular and was doing it before 3 Six and Bone Thug in that order. Jay-z battle Wise Intelligence of PRT in the late 80s when Jay lived in Trenton NJ. Probably how he and Jaz-O started rapping like that. Jay been know to borrow styles from other ? .

I feel like they missed an opportunity... Yeah, the new cats are using the triplet flow but they're doing it differently than Lord Infamous, Chuck D, Krayzie and nem...
For example, check out the infographics they used for Chuck D...
Then Lord Infamous...
And Tommy Wright...
Now check out Migos...
Desiigner...
And Young Thug...
What the new cats use that the old cats didn't are rest notes in specific spots throughout the verse that break it up into stanzas and leave a pattern of placeholders for ad-libs which have become synonymous with the flow and are more widely used than ever before...
This creates a call-and-response between bars, which in itself is catchy, relatively easy to do and gives the listener a chance to dab or what have you...
So yeah, the video is correct in that rapping in triplets is nothing new, but using the combination of triplets, rest notes, and ad-libs in this fashion may in fact be attributed to Migos...

Thanks... I appreciate it...
The problem I have with videos like these is that they go in like "Lemme prove Migos ain't doing anything new"... then they do all this research and make these statistics then ignore the results to make a narrative...
Anyone could look at these graphs and notice a trend, yet they didn't mention rest notes throughout the entire video... what's the point of over-analyzing something just to over-simplify?
Then, they make it seem like there are only two ways to rap... regularly and using triplets... They group all these rappers together... Sure, Chuck D and Dismasters' flows are almost identical but Krayzie Bone was on some completely other ? ...
If Migos didn't make any innovations to the triplet flow then why is it so popular all of a sudden? They must be doing something different...
This is what happens when outsiders come in and try to translate an artform to make it more palatable to the uninitiated... but I digress... -
Lol at a white ? trying to school me on some hip hop flow ? . White folks always trying to explain some black ? to black people as if we didn't create the ? in the first place. Miss me with that culture vulture white ass narratoring ? . Fohwtbs

I think you kinda missed the point of the video. They weren't really trying to take anything away from anyone or discredit the Migos. The video was more of a response to Snoop's comments. Snoop implied that the flow was just something that ? was doing nowadays and that there wasn't much to it. The video was giving a history to show that it wasn't just some flash in the pan thing that is hot right now. The video also tried to show that use of the flow was more versatile than Snoop was implying. What you wrote was a good extension to the information they brought, but I don't think they were trying to go as deep as explaining how each user of the flow differs from others.Lol at a white ? trying to school me on some hip hop flow ? .

Bruh, you triggered because a white woman is talking about Hip Hop? The ? wasn't a tutorial to you personally. It was some background for people that aren't in the know. The target audience might not even be black people. It could be white fans or asian fans or anyone who isn't in the know.
