14 Hilarious Internet Moments That Just Prove Takeoff Was One Of The Funniest Rappers In The Game
4 min read
Takeoff helped change the rap game with hits like "Stir Fry" and "Walk It Talk It." As the youngest member of the hip-hop trio Migos, he was a man of few words off the stage, but in the studio, he dropped bars.
On Nov. 1, he was killed in Houston, Texas.
Kirshnik Khari Ball (professionally known as Takeoff) was not only the most chill member of Migos — he was a very skilled rapper, too.
