Why Isn't QUAVO a Bigger Solo Artist? Stunted Growth Music
Let’s begin with a controversial opinion right out the gate. Quavo has always been the most talented Migo. I know the love the late Takeoff and Offset get and deserve, but for me Quavo just had that “IT” about him that could’ve made him a huge star in today’s entertainment industry with it’s minute by minute social media coverage, and to my surprise that hasn’t happened. Of course as a Migo, or what was when they were the biggest artist in the world, Quavo was great, a standout, the front man for a reason. His versatility and wide range of ability and confidence went a long way in driving Migos to back to back #1 albums in 2017 and 18, placing them in the conversation for one of the best groups of all time. It’s still unbelievable there won’t ever be new music from them again as they were in their prime. R.I.P Takeoff. Outside the Migos and the success they’ve had together, fans eagerly wanted Quavo to drop a solo album around that time, but his loyalty to the group and not having it look as if there was trouble in the waters delayed his debut solo album a bit, but when it did release the album still went gold and did well on the Billboard charts, although it did receive mixed reviews from critics and on social media, fans feeling it didn’t live up to the hype and wasn’t better than the Quavo they know from the Migos. Quavo as a solo artist should be bigger at this point, but it hasn’t happened for these reasons.

Also, I think a lot of what made him the frontman was his looks. Prepare for a deep sigh and eye roll, but colorism is still intentional and subconscious in selecting a front person even for men. Men and women audiences gravitate and it’s not about sexuality necessarily. It’s how people view the marketability of darker vs lighter skinned people.
He doesn't have enough firepower to do 2-3 verse songs.....1 verse & a good hook
Quavo is nothing without Takeoff. Takeoff helped both of them.
Takeoff was the heart of the Migos made Offset and Quavo look better Quavo is like the hot high school prospect that doesn't necessarily bust but never lives up to his ranking him and Set never really cared to expand the talents they had and become more versatile they seem content being famous
I never really listened to the migos but when I did I always liked takeoff
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. QUAVO IS GREAT. His features are dope and i listen to solo Quavo. Lamb Talk, 11:11, OHB, Tender. WORKIN ME.
R.I.P. TAKEOFF 🚀 ! SMG lets get a video on rap group YOUNG PROBLEMZ!

For me, Quavo never had any quotable lines, or at least not the best ones. Offset and Takeoff always stood out more to me, but i do remember people saying Quavo was the star back in this day. Which is why i never was surprised that Quavo wasn't doing well as a solo artist. Really none of the Migos were that strong by themselves. Takeoff was the best but he needed someone else to keep his style from sounding repetitive, imo.

We he sacrificed his nephew it was all downhill from there…

Quavo is melodic. Takeoff could do both. Takeoff just didnt have the appeal. He seemed like an introvert.

Quavo was their front man. The uncle to the nephew. The mouth piece of the group. He had a role. It just wasn’t the “talent” per se. I see/saw the vision. They were a legit GROUP with different powers per man. They worked best together. Take is the only one who could’ve done more solo. His album was actually good. And securing that Wayne feature said a lot to me.

Why IS he a recording artist?
I don’t feel like he was a strong conceptual artist. His hooks are great, amazing, but outside of that he could never put together an album that has more content that the surface level stuff. I believe soundwise also, it’s not easy listening to 20 songs of the same thing over and over
I like Quavo fr🔥
I never was a fan of Quavo as a rapper. He definitely had the personality and charisma of the group. But he had the worst actual rapping ability.
