The world was first introduced to Takeoff as a member of the famous rap trio, Migos. Born Kirshnik Khari Ball, the Atlanta metropolitan native was known for his creative lyricism, unique flow, and colorful ad-libs. Takeoff had become an essential part of rap and hip-hop culture.
Although fans and music lovers admired his music, his life was unfortunately taken away at 28. And while many of us are left to grieve, what we will remember as one of trap music's most iconic voices, we still have the forever sounds of his music.
From the era of "Hannah Montana" to "Bad And Boujee," all the way to the most recent hit, "Bars Into Captions," Takeoff left us with countless lyrics we can enjoy forever. Let's take a look at some of his memorable bars.
