Migos, Taco Tuesday | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated rap trio Migos celebrate Cinco De Mayo 2020 with the short but entertaining banger, “Taco Tuesday.”

May 5^th is always Cinco de Mayo.  May 5^th, 2020 just happened to be a Tuesday in addition to being Cinco de Mayo.  Tuesdays aren’t only terrific, but they are also Taco Tuesdays!  Okay, so with that background, it sets up the brief Migos single, “Taco Tuesday,” which was released Cinco de Mayo 2020, which happened to be a – wait for it – Tuesday!!!

By brief, I mean that “Taco Tuesday” runs just north of a minute-and-a-half.  Yeah, that’s not much song but it’s enough for Migos to work with, um, narrow subject matter.  “Taco Tuesday” features banging production by DJ Durel, characterized by its knocking beat, repetitive synths, and organ (at least that’s what the patch sounds like).  Also, worth mentioning, LeBron James appears on the intro, celebrating his love for tacos:

“Pretty down night right now
Psych, ‘cause it’s Taco Tuesday
What is it? Taco Tuesday.”

Quavo, whoo provides a couple of ad-libs during the intro, then follows up with the chorus.  Fittingly, it’s taco-driven, but also ‘street’ you might say:

“Taco Tuesday, I got the chese, she tastin’ the Kool-Aid
Migo the plug, Guadalupe
She gon’ do what the group say, comprende
Caliente
She get the bag, but she gotta get it ten ways
Okay, now ándele, ándele
We can elevate.”

Offset and Takeoff deliver two consecutive verses.  Offset thinks with his pants, asserting “She want Perc’ ‘fore she take off her skirt / Put in work, put your name on her skirt.” Oh my… Takeoff does at least mention tacos, though there’s also the line, “Fuckin’ with a bad vibe and she go both ways.”

Final Thoughts 

Really, there’s not that much you can say about little more than one-minute-and-a-half of song. “Taco Tuesday” is definitely entertaining, though not game changing.  That said, “Taco Tuesday” the song wasn’t intended to be game changing – it is what it is.
