ArmyVtrN more like 8.5 out of 10 Go listen to his album again and try focusing on his LYRICS, FLOW, DELIVERY, STORY TELLING SKILLS, MUSIC PRODUCTION, MEANING OF EACH SONG and you'll find out why his album is THE BEST OF THE YEAR and why your comment is basically invalid.
nah...his story telling is forced...he lacks subtlety; his flow is still a mesh of his rivals....heavy j.cole, kendrick and drake influences....what seperates a technically skilled rapper from a virtuoso is a distinct sound...logic has bars and is technically skilled but he lacks originality....the production on each individual track is pretty dope but the final product is, dare i say, corny - with all the unnecessary interludes...he still incredibly charismatic and obviously has heart but this aint no gahdamn classic
What I like about Logic, is the fact that he's getting better with time. I've been listening to the guy for about 3 years now... Its amazes me how much better his sound has improved since then. Great album debut,much better than most debuts if you ask me.... Although its not perfect, I do think he's on his way to the top for sure...
I feel the exact same way about Childish Gambino. I have been listening to both of these guys and plenty of others and it is amazing to see the growth in young to mature music.
I am a fan of Logic. He is just so POSITIVE because he understands being NEGATIVE doesn't get you far. Some people need to understand just because you experience something bad in your life doesn't mean it won't turn good. Big up Logic allways making good music
fabiaguilafc Tiouba Parris (the original commentor) was talking about Illmatic, NOT Under Pressure. Illmatic sold 59,000 in its first week. In the video, Logic falsely said that it sold 59,000 in its first YEAR.
+Hiphop4life2011 But Nas made it his own and made a statement with his music. Logic just has a combination of all these other flows while not saying anything special lyrically.
This is what I think about Logic, he's a great guy who learned from his history and life and made the right choices. Like he said in an interview, no wants to be in the "hood". Good for Logic man, great guy from what I can see.
No Rosenberg, "What's the name of the album?" a absolutely NOT a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is one where no answer is expected, like "Who knows?". wtf.
Sean Cramer Not exactly. It's a question that's used for rhetorical effect (as in “Who does not love his country?”) and often in the case that no answer is expected because it's obvious ("Can pigs fly?") or because there is no answer ("why me?"). This is just an example of Rosenburg nut hugging Logic ("Of course I know the name of the album"), but not doing his job as an interviewer. I'm sure Logic would prefer it if people said the name of the record rather than incorrectly using big words.
yeah lol but in this case its obvious that the answer is logics album because the whole reason your watching this interview is to hear about logics album and a freestyle lol. "can pigs fly?" "whats your album?" same shit hahaha he is notorious for nut hugging tho i think that we can both agree on
TexasBassFishing Google the word "rhetorical", it's not what Rosenberg did. "What's the name of the album?" is a regular question. Notice that Logic answers without hesitation. examples.yourdictionary.com/rhetorical-question-examples.html
Been listening to Logic for years now and am so happy to see him doing big things and gaining so many fans. Really lucky to say I've been listening since the beginning. If any new listeners read this, go check out some of his older mixtapes to really see where he started and where he is now.
There's so many things in these comments that need to be cleared up. 1st of all, University of Maryland is an open campus so everyone hangs out there even those who don't go there. He wasn't a student but he did have many friends that went there so that's where he would hang out and get the college students to listen to his music. He also shot his videos and held a few concerts there back in the day. Also, its safe to say that those COD videos did in fact help him get a lot of views but around that same time he was also blowing up by word of mouth throughout Maryland. I'm from Montgomery County Maryland and its kind of a big place but everyone still knows kids from basically every school in the county. Everyone hangs out at the same few rec centers, chills at the same few malls (wheaton, lakeforest, or montgomery), goes to the same 3 movie theaters (rio, rockville, or downtown silver spring), and when they leave high school, most of them go to the same college: either MC or Maryland. So, when people found out about logic word of mouth traveled pretty fast. I remember back when he was all over my facebook wall cuz friends would share his videos and be like "check out my dude from gaithersburg". Even one of my teachers at Paint Branch high school told us to watch his videos. Half the kids here called him logic, the other half called him bobby b/c either they or their older siblings knew him or went to school with him. Besides Wale, there was no rapper that this area could really claim so everyone was growing excited about logic. So he had a pretty good buzz going on without the COD community they just doubled the numbers but either way he was well on his way to recognition. We all knew this kid was gonna make it out of moco.
When Rosenberg asked him how he got some many views on his first few music videos, I think he should have given FaZe some credit. I found Logic out because of watching FaZe montages and I know that the other million or so subscribers FaZe had at the time were checking him out. But I know he is still good friends with FaZe Temperrr and also has him at shows and at his crib.
honestly I like his album man. he's one of my favorite artists right now. I've been listening to him for the last few years, and he's like old school hip hop in the modern world. His bars remind me of like talib or mobb deep. The back in the days of hip hop, but with a modern twist you know?
logic and gambino and others rappers alike are going to be the ones who usher in the new "style" of rap and hip hop. like the new music culture and stuff...like kinda how tupac and biggie and like nwa and dre and snoop and all those toher guys from there generation who brought the new style of music and stuff in and its built what we listen to today ...so yeah i feel like these guys are bringing in the new style.
He's more known, doesn't make him better, different flows as expected when comparing any two artists but their different doesn't mix. Logic is calm yet smooth with the rhymes, wale is too loud for logics tone. He's not on some meek mill yelling shit but to me he just doesn't make the cut for a quality song. Logic is definitely better.
The album debuted at #12 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 59,000 copies in its first week. However, its initial sales fell below expectations and its five singles failed to achieve significant chart success. Despite the album's low initial sales, Illmatic received rave reviews from most music critics, who praised its production and Nas' lyricism. On January 17, 1996, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, and on December 11, 2001 it earned platinum certification after shipping one million copies in the United States.
It's really crazy that these rappers or even musicians spend so much time and money on these songs/albums and everyone can download it for free with in 20 seconds.
I like how he has to mention his childhood in every interview no matter what - Logic, what jacket is that? - Funny you mentioned a jacket. I was actually wearing a jacket when I cooked crack at the age of 13 and my mom was beat up and also my dad was a crackhead. - ... - I'm black. - Uhhm. K. - Crack. I cooked crack.
You know him to well man, cause not everyone knows his story apparently you do for you to think he says the same stuff. He's not super known he's getting there and I think people should know his story (the people that haven't/are barley hearing him)
Look, we all admit that we knew him cuz of Illcams or FaZe. But cmon man, a stupid gaming clan did not make him get signed to Def Jam, or have his album #1 on Itunes.
Titan AE™ I don't think you realize how many people seriously know of him due to FaZe. Obviously that's not the only reason, but that's a huge reason that he's known. For example, I hadn't heard of him until my friends told me about him. How'd they find out about him? Through Illcams. RU-vidrs and their watchers really spread the word about him.
***** I completely agree with you, but I'm talking about how he got popular in the first place. Spotlight threw him into "fame" but he got a lot of his beginning from RU-vidrs in general using his songs. A long time before he ever dreamed of putting out an album.
Auto Juvi Lead-Sniper what??? are you calling me a prejudice fuck? cause I know he's biracial I'm saying that after his BET cypher, White Boy trended on twitter cause everyone was saying that white boy went off..you obviously just missed my point.
Auto Juvi Lead-Sniper dude same, but when my friend showed me him in 2012 I thought he was white too so you just gotta give them time to figure it out xD
One reason why Logic got millions of views on all i do and the spotlight is because a Call of Duty team called Faze used his music a lot in their videos. I feel like Logic doesn't give them the recognition for helping him get noticed because honestly it helped a lot.
Don't give me that bullshit, there is nothing in that video that shows him referencing cod. It just shows a "heist" where he kills some people and steals some diamonds... And he still hasn't given anyone recognition in the cod community.
I think its great, better than most. However, I found myself skipping over a few records. In my opinion... I would give GKMC and Kanye's "MBTDF" and "Graduation" 9 out of 10... Illmatic 10 !!! With that in mind, I cant give "Underpressure" a 9 or above. Without a doubt, Logic is my favorite rapper right now and has the best hip-hop album of the year !! However I love 78% of the album...
Manuel L it was a good album it lacked identity tho i felt like logic was all over the place ... it wasn't as good of a project as J cole's in my opinion
I'm not reading ALL the comments, so if it hasn't already been said (which I'm sure it has), Nas' Illmatic album (circa 1994) actually sold 59,000 copies in it's first WEEK and 330,000 copies in it's first YEAR. Logic must've read it wrong? Furthermore, Illmatic didn't earn a certified Gold plaque until 1996 and a certified Platinum plaque until 2001!!? Crazy right?!
***** lmao faze have videos with double logic's views back then - so he was practically picking up fans from them faster than from himself - if that isn't an impact to the growth of his music then please give me something else that actually helped more than them. Why do you think logic constantly keeps in touch and invites them all down to his house often ? start to realise that that community is big and influencial, it's not just a bunch of nerds
So your trying to tell me out of the 3 million that watch faze, everyone of them subscribe to logic? No they don't most people of them are to young to understand 3/4 of the shit he's talking about anyway
#Rattpack Since 2010. First album i ever bought was Logic's. For all you young cats who dont know who Logic is, i recommend you cop his album n check out his mixtapes
