The group’s psychedelic sound and experimental music choices are a staple of their tracks, and show up in hip-hop as direct samples and clever interpolations.

Love Cudi!
“Electric Feel” is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Their “Congratulations” album is one of the best psychedelic albums to date
They don’t know but now they will
@@slimetime7488 it's an absolute masterpiece from start to finish
I say those exact words every time I listen to it.
Yea
MGMT is criminally underrated yet so incredibly influential. Same goes for M.I.A., she’s one of the greatest artists of all time.
Tame Impala as well
Duncan Gagnon yes and no for tame impala I feel like tame has more recognition
I don't think M.I.A is underrated, i think she was boycotted for being too realistic for a industry where being fake gets you to #1.
m.i.a.’s /\/\/\Y/\ album went on to influence everything from death grips to yeezus
M.I.A is a top 10 female rapper.
MGMT, M.I.A, Imogen Heap, Tame Impala, James Blake are all amongst some of the most influential artists of their generation.
Jon bellion too
@@QuadryHolloman Love Jon Bellion but i don't really think he's up there in terms of influence
@@Amalga he's a genius though. Numbers/popularity doesn't always reflect influence.
@@QuadryHolloman 100% agree with you on him being a genius, except I think that numbers and popularity do play an important role in influence, as it shows how much the music is affecting the landscape of pop culture. Like if you look at the list, Tame Impala and MGMT basically brought psychedelic music back into the mainstream, as well as greatly influencing rap, M.I.A. made one of the biggest songs of the century that lead in part to more lowkey pop-musicians like Lorde, Lana Del Rey, and Billie Eilish, and James Blake revolutionized modern electronic music and dropped a debut album that inspired so many other artists in the same field as him, as well as a bunch of mainstream production (going back to Billie Eilish). Jon Bellion makes really good music, don't get me wrong, but he hasn't really influenced the pop field apart from a few people like AJR
Don't forgot Kanye West
Just imagine a collab between Frank, Cudi and MGMT
It would be better than Rocky and Travis
i’d cry
Mia De Angelis i would better than asap scot and travis rocky
Why frank? Hes straight ass.
@@armandosoria7993 do u not have a soul? White Ferrari, pilot Jones, nikes, in my room FRANK DOES NOT MAKE BAD MUSIC 😭
I remember getting called weird for liking mgmt in 2009.
Jay Chap Check out my new vid ua-cam.com/video/i7gRlxO7308/v-deo.html
They still call me weird.. smh
Finlayson lol your not wrong but I was told the same thing growing up cause I was black and listening to everything and ppl in the south didn’t understand anything back then
@@QuietVillain same situation. Black in the south
Quintin Garvin they don’t understand good music is good music
I said ooh girl
Shock me like an electric eel.
Omega Effect Check out my new vid ua-cam.com/video/i7gRlxO7308/v-deo.html

damn yous goated
i’m a simple woman, i see mgmt, i click
And cudi 😟
Finally someone out here giving the respect MGMT deserves ❤❤❤❤
@@jn1346 lol I get what you are saying but trust me I'm here in india.. And unfortunately no one here knows shit about MGMT.. And these guys are literally the best.
@@chandnirai7039 lol an indian that listens to mgmt... first time i stumbled across one
@@dinglemccringleberry6258 is there a problem with me being an Indian??
@@chandnirai7039 lol i study in india so no problem just saying that I have never seen one
Lmao same thing for me because I live in the Caribbean. All I can do is introduce their music to my friends. Other than that, .... crickets
love the way kids, electric feel and time to pretend are songs mgmt wrote to basically take to piss out of pop at the time, but its so sad that they don't get enough recognition for their other shit
Ethan Allison preach
The world is burning today because we didn't appreciate Congratulations enough back then.
Little dark age is great
Factsss
@@alejandrojaramillo1231 I actually listened to Congratulations over and over again and even preferred it over Oracular, but then again I listened to Oracular so much I was just probably burnt out from listening to that album.
Electric Feel still on the playlist. That song is genius, no pun intended.
Justice Remix GOAT
MGMT’s Little Dark Age is very underrated IMO
I agree. I loved that album👌🏾💜
Facts!!!
It’s their best work yet
Truly
Ikr, I wrestle Congratulations and Little Dark Age for their best album.
Is it just me are does anybody dream of a M83 and Mgmt collab
Rashad White me too
oh my GOD that would be godly.
I dream of an MGMT + Animal Collective + Shpongle collab. My 3 favorite artists all in one room? Holy godliness.
Mgmt is such a big part of my childhood 🥺🥺🤧🤧
When you die is my favorite mgmt song
Yes i love that shit. Little dark age is also prime mgmt
I listened to it weeks on end
GO F YOURSELF
U HEARD ME RIGHT
@@AvgJane19 tf, Congratulations is prime MGMT
Pursuit of happiness is honestly one of the greatest songs ever arguably top 25
Top 10
it’s not even Cudi’s best song. wouldn’t be top 50 hiphop lol
MGMTs latest Album "little dark age" is worth a Listen.. Very very cool and fascinating Album!
my favorite album of 2018
That shit slaps
Congratulations and Little Dark Age contain most of MGMT'S best music.
finally mgmt getting some recognition again
I keep telling y’all MGMT one of the best artists ever.
I want to be as happy as Kid Cudi dancing to Electric feel
samm040501 same
New rapper name: Lil Dark Age
Aku
Oh wow Chiddy Bang is mad throwback, what the hell happened to those two?
4:28 “fans are still tripping over their music” awesome nod cuz Cudi tweeted that he was tripping on acid during that clip
Perfect timing, Frank just released a new track 🤩
ApparentlyEric it’s exactly why they posted
ApparentlyEric Fuck Frank for charging 75 dollar for a t shirt
I’m so happy MGMT is getting recognition again. Little dark age is such a work of art and they should be known for more than just kids or electric feel
Well, Since Frank and Cudi are influenced by MGMT. They should make a song together, All 3 of them.
Tonight’s Big Loser yes please
This would be so sick
I remember watching an interview with MGMT a LONG time ago where they said they sent Jay Z a track with their vocals on them and then didn’t hear anything back and they assumed it was too weird and experimental sounding for him
these two are actual geniuses. People always say that about their favorite artists. But these two are on another level
me and michael feels like having a bonfire on the beach in the middle of summer in montage form but also the season finale in a murder mystery show and i can’t explain why
MGMT and Kid Cudi I can say with confidence have kept me from killing myself.
Wishing you peace, strength and love. And plenty more good music
kozhikkaalan thanks man.
Music period has kept me here. Imagine life without it...
@@victorantonio9819 fr tho
❤️
*Little Dark Age* is my favourite album of the decade.
MGMT will be forever the sound of my childhood
same
Oracular Spectacular probably one of my favourite albums of all time
Ikr, and it's not even MGMT'S best work, they're criminally underrated.
Still listening to MGMT in 2019 who with me
2021 baby
Almost 2020!! The next 3 months are all about being dedicated to your craft and to yourself. Hope our channel helps!!
I love MGMT, hoping they make more music with rappers!
mgmt just throws me back to different times in my life and hits me in the feelings
First ever none hip hop album i played in full was congratulations. They set the taste 13 yr old me had. Till this day apart from hip hop i love synthy psychedelic rock.
Great band
Immortal is one of my fav Kid Cudi songs of all time I'm happy to know They had something to do with it😁
Thank you for this!
Electric feel 👌🏾
MGMT and Nip was great life changing
This is the best genius video ever made
The video we all needed
Nipseys "call from the bank" is a banger
I recently went to mgmt concert this past May. I can honestly say that all of their songs are greats ❤️❤️ even the most recent ones ❤️❤️❤️
I always just listened to them they are a really good duo but I never new they how influential they were - wow
Love this. MGMT is so dope.
Electric Feel on Midnight Club. YESSSS!
This band has been lit since that first album and still is til dis DAY!!
It's sad that people only know MGMT for Oracular Spectacular and the 3 big hits off of it. All of their other work is so different yet is so MGMT. anyone reading this, PLEASE listen to any of their stuff after their debut. "Little dark age" is fucking phenomenal. And there newer song "in the afternoon" slaps so hard. Give them a chance. They deserve so much more recognition.
Learnt about these guys from Chiddy Bang. Time to explore more of their music
Cudi and mgmt kinda have the same role in their own genres. Made some crazy hits around the same time that inspired a lot of artists but they both still go under the radar. But they’re best songs are prolly gonna be legendary in the future. I mean pursuit of happiness is one of those that could be one of the greatest songs ever
Agree with this 100%. I've been listening to MGMT and preaching this for the longest.
Never heard of em but that’s cool Cudi got so muck inspiration
That first disc is a classic
Nature Feels was just *clenches fist” sOo good
Love mgmt
I remember being so young and listening to bangers like time to pretend and kids 😭😭 such a great time
Super underrated
we really need a video on m.i.a from u guys
“Do what you feel now !”
Classic.
I love music so much I love these guys and I love that I live in a world where we can all make art and share art and appreciate it together. ❤️
Mgmt has been on my Bucket List of concerts foreverrr
bro i love mgmt so much
This is beautiful
Love this band. Congratulations is underrated.
MGMT are incredibly underrated
Man I always love me a kid Cudi video even if it's him being mentioned for a couple of seconds
Legends
Nature feels is a huge mood
I like these history videos
MGMT are pure artists
I miss them 😥
Mgmt was my favorite in middle school
The whole of oracular spectacular is amazing. Listen to LDA by MGMT if you haven't already it's pretty good...
As soon as I saw this I thought of Mac Miller’s Live it Up😭 I miss him so much
MGMT’s Self Titled is still their best album tho
Understandable, I personally have Congratulations and Little Dark Age tied for No. 1
Oh girl you shock me with that electric feel. I fucking love mgmt
Electric feel is amazing
Congratulations and The self titled album had a huge impact just not in a main stream way, I personally think there’s more to take from their psychedelic melodic and huge sound walls and distortion from the self titled. Siberian Breaks is my fav
No one ever talks about Flash Delirium, I grew up listening to MGMT through elementary school and middle school. Flash Delirium and Kids is close to my heart.
Was so good having their songs in FIFA and 2k 8)
Delisa's hoodie is flaaaaaaaaaaame
mannn that chiddy bang song was my JAM in middle school
RIP MAC💜💜
Wow I’m so happy y’all noticed mgmt been rocking to them for a minuteeeeee
im so happy mac knew mgmt cause im a huge mgmt fan and mac fan rip mac
Electric feel is one of the greatest songs ever
exactlyyyy
I need a kid cudi and frank ocean track 😩
Electric feel will foreva hold a place in my heart
finally paying respects
Let's appreciate this moment. Frank Ocean released some music and I'm expecting an album
pain
Would’ve never thought that MGMT would influence artists of that kind
Congratulations is the best mgmt album by far!!!! Can’t beat flash delirium, and Brian Eno, and Siberian Breaks
ELECTRIC FEEL IS MY FAV SONG EVER
Does anyone know the mixtape "Live It up" was on by mac? Ive been searching for it for ages and can't find it
I always thought of the Pursuit of happiness chorus to only be cudi singing
