Logic talks getting kicked out of HS, not getting into drugs, working at Wing Stop, Jiffy Lube +More

www.hardknock.tv Exclusive in-depth interview with Logic. In part 3 Logic talks to Nick Huff Barili about what his life was like at 16/17 years old when he got kicked out of High School, left his Mom's house, then left his Dad's house and ended up sleeping on a friends couch while he worked multiple jobs (Flower Shop, Jiffy Lube) as well as music. At 21 Logic was asked to talk to kids at his old High School for career day and was awarded a Degree of Excellence. Logic also recalls rapping and performing at his jobs at Joe's Crab Shack and Wing Stop. Although Logic said working in the food industry sucked and didn't pay well, he knew that the drug dealing that family members and others around him were partaking in was gonna get them in trouble. Staying out of trouble helped Logic focus on his music career while those around him where going to jail. Logic also explains that writing his rhymes is therapeutic.
Tune in Wednesday for part 4 with Logic.

[@aleidadelgado311]

Logic is such a hard working person who needs more recognition than these lame rapers these days

[@Haun2SiicK]

lame rapers lmao

[@nonstopper]

rapers too though *cough cough* cosby

[@mymysmith165]

exacly

[@psychosalrendon7811]

Its true he talks real not like these other rapper talking bout sex and drugs

[@oooxoooplus6937]

Aleida Delgado hes corny af

[@craqqer]

He's a great person. We need more rappers like him. He has money and success but still stays humble

[@Psychotic_Kitty]

Exactly!!

[@Lootednbooted]

California and money doesn't get to his head like jay z and Beyonce or kanye

[@kinga3x]

@The Caretaker this was 6 years ago. the money he had back then doesn't compare to what he has now & what he has now. he was hungry back then and wanted the bills now he just chills cause he knows who he is & what he's done to get to where he is now

[@venndiagram8696]

On my way

[@connorgeslak8032]

My uncle owned Wing stop till he sold it a while back, to think my uncle took care of logics pay check at one point makes me extremely happy

[@bradlambert335]

connor geslak proof?

[@suitupted8327]

Cap

[@iamShockely]

I love how Logic is completely different from everyone else. He's a leader, not a follower.

[@nesekaba]

I am so incredibly in love with Logic

[@rapmindedlion6732]

I know right

[@TheCoolred60]

chief keef better

[@nesekaba]

TheCoolred60 Their styles are 100% different. Keef is way more trappy and heavy. Logic can do a bit of that, but his flow and lyrical value are A+. Depends on what you appreciate and value in your music.

[@TheCoolred60]

+nesekaba most people just argue bt i like ur response. logic is a dope ass rapper and i listen to chief keef only when i wanna turn up

[@osamabinturnt1287]

+nesekaba logic is decent but he has no "trap" or "heavy" side to him what so ever, he baby lotion soft

[@connorluttikhuis9285]

He's deep and down to earth. He knows what's going on in the world. Not only is he making the world a better place for himself.. But by his music he makes others feel better. Logic is one cool dude and he has my upmost respect! ♥

[@RockMacDonald23]

Hell yeah man. Very well put.

[@ZerosRebellion]

+connor luttikhuis He's the realist rapper I know. Nowadays you got rappers talking about the same shit. Snoop also notices this. But Logic on the real shit. He may well possibly be better than Eminem.

[@connorluttikhuis9285]

ZerosRebellion We'll find out sooner or later! #RATTPACK

[@TheCoolred60]

chief keef better

[@nathannana3623]

+TheCoolred60 be quiet

[@thomasmullaney3472]

Very smart for a man who didnt graduate. Wisdom can be learned outside of the classroom.

[@TheSpikeArts]

Everyone hating on Logic but guys at the end of the day he will do better in life than the haters....

[@lingtheking]

Nobodies "hating" it's called stating your opinion. Don't be so sensitive

[@puffindabs254]

***** hahahahaha yeeeeeeah

[@jackhavick1]

Ling Lang why do you need to state your opinion?

[@emilianomendez5845]

idk there are a lot of rich assholes

[@wowthatscool9333]

Emiliano Mendez The rich assholes are the kids that aren't beat

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

He's so incredibly mature with the way he speaks and the way he sees things it's crazy. I love him.

[@gerbera1713]

Now I understand the 5am lyrics...

[@Nick-qc3cm]

[@nandhannatarajan2127]

[@Diddy___]

[@matth3whunt3r48]

[@nandhannatarajan2127]

[@deonnelson9780]

Nandhan Natarajan ?

[@purplebackpack7710]

[@romeoprince6397]

This is a real interview because this... is a real nigga.

[@jakobanddesi]

Shout out to Jiffy Lube! Haha, I worked at a Jiffy Lube for 4 years while going to school. People need to realize you need to do jobs you may not want to do to obtain the skills for the job you need to do later in life to support that life you dream of. A lot of respect to Logic.

[@dylanhernandez1867]

I live in Gaithersburg and I pass by that jiffy Lube he talks about in 355! And the wing stop too

[@MicahUTD]

I used to live off 355 like 3 years ago, for like 3 years. So i know exactly what he's talking about. Lived really close to West deer park.

[@ronaldo.m7527]

ThePineappleInDaBowl nobody asked

[@pianist150]

Seems like a pretty intelligent dude

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

i don't know who this kid is and i already like him.

[@JayZC96]

he's dope. go check out his music.

[@jackt7713]

this guy is cold AF.

[@JayZC96]

Jack T yup and his album's about to come out. Easily one of the best up and coming artists.

[@jgwentworth8329]

"Working in the food industry sucks..." That's soooooo true

[@mansaakhenaten3172]

My biggest regret in life is dropping out of high school. I just couldn't put up with the bullying and being made to feel like I was less than human. Everything just made me stronger though.

[@robertolguin8010]

Anyone here after his retirement

[@Sploads]

So crazy to watch this and see where he is now he is such an INSPIRATION!

[@C4Clinton]

When you brought up about how police officers, and other employments that make the world a better place. The first thing that popped into my mind is that you, logic should feel just as proud of yourself, because you have so much power and guidance on your fans and audience. Me being a huge fan since the start, I can tell you first hand you've had a huge influence on me.

[@tammymartinez2083]

Now he Grammy nominated

[@chantalhermetz1677]

I appreciate him so much... damn he's so real.

[@ignaciooropeza119]

I respect logic after watching this

[@PuReGhOsTT]

And now he's retiring.... thats crazy... These were the good old days..

[@axelgarza5726]

He's so humble. Logic is amazing!

[@zsharkz2633]

A true rapper Logic... #BeOriginal

[@isaac-vb1ng]

+Jefts Gam is a bitch

[@2ManyThieves0]

+Isaac Harris correction. Gambo is an absolute BEAST

[@KG-vd6ms]

Man this is why I fw logic so hard. Even though he knew telling this shit would cause hate from people he still keeps it real with his fans. I can relate to this shit so hard it's crazy.. After I seen this video and heard his story it blew my mind.

[@tahoomalik91]

Bruhhh this guy is just too good of a human and a rapper

[@micahpayne8093]

Dang just came from the most recent interview. Crazy to see how much he has grown in 7 years! Insane career

[@whitecoconutjohnson9742]

These interviews are simply the best. logic a great guy too. props to this channel for keeping it real and drama free

[@ProlificPops]

Holy shit, Logic likes anime? I just became a bigger fan.

[@glorioushustle6743]

+King Pops Not only that but he Dropped the Legendary Anime, Cowboy Bebop.

[@23abedabed23]

He also like uncharted

[@rattpack9413]

yup cowboy beebop

[@noctis8712]

_Wave lmao you uploaded one piece vids

[@zboii1738]

Looking back on these interviews is crazy 2021

[@MatthewGozdz]

This dudes story is so motivational. Thank you Logic for pushing through everything to get it done. That struggle is what brings us all forward, I want to thank you for that.

[@AthleticCamp]

Amazing story, hard worker, keeping it real. Help Logic's success grow, spread the word of his work, and do what you can

[@SRALTHACNQURR]

Looks like eminem mixed with Earl sweatshirt.

[@traceygerard5301]

[@wicked1760]

[@ryanlowe7315]

Hopsin is corny af lol

[@Lonedog384]

Bro logic and Kendrick

[@dollarbillfilms7616]

This interview is what got me into Logic. His swag and overall attitude about things just captured me and I haven't turned back since. RattPack til the end.

[@smileyygreer9695]

lol!!! my mom was his manager at Joes Crab Shack. and I went to the same high school. GO LOGIC!!!

[@jossiezambrano92]

I mess with Logic but I highly doubt he was sleeping an hour or two a day... After a while, no matter how strong minded you are , you will physically shut down.

[@stevenpollard102]

Well i'm sure he slept more than 2 hours each night. He probably just took the average of that. You're right though.

[@jossiezambrano92]

+Steven Pollard that was probably a bad estimate. You can maybe function on 4 hrs of sleep daily..... MAYBE!

[@gerbera1713]

Ezekielgaming did a 3 day sleepless charity live stream....

[@ApeXPubz]

+Gerber Amaya but he's talking about logic doing it for months, I'm pretty sure he took power naps, and could have slept 4 hours and a power nap and still be able to function

[@deonnelson9780]

Jossie Zambrano Y'all over thinking shit.

[@DraqqaZ]

Haha, Logic is a pretty funny guy. He's very good at telling his stories and keeping you listening. Seems like a good role model too.

[@xKILLAxCAMx]

This is a great video. Logic, thank you. I have a younger sibling and her group of friends dropping out of college because one of them wants to work on "music," and they don't understand that you can do both. It just takes extra effort. Inspiring bro. Keep up the good work.

[@isaacmijangos]

Every time I feel down I come and listen to this very interview. Logic is really the man when it comes to inspiring people.

[@demisemedia]

Dope interview and this guy has got his priorities straight!! Haha! I feel it, been couch surfing for a few years and also worked at Jiffy Lube for a bit as well! I've just performed one of my biggest shows out here in the Bay Area and am getting closer to my goals with this lyrical thang!! ~ Demise!

[@lachrome]

Logic is a saint literally... What has he done bad?

[@Dripdry74]

Bad choice of shirts

[@osamabinturnt1287]

+FinalConquest_ why u acting like u know the dude?

[@GaminwithGamers]

Nomar Parra oh shit dude 🔥

[@rits6655]

Congrats Logic on starting a family, look how far you've come and grown up, its legendary.

[@SirRockoRARE]

ive never listened to logic before this year. everybody in my area loved him like 4 years ago, but i never listened to him till this year. he got mad talent.

[@the4gamerdudes]

Lowkey them music videos lame but Logic da 🐐

[@InquisPrinciple]

Decided to come back to this video now that he is done rapping... It was an insane ride Logic, PLP till I die #Rattpack

[@anthonypettineii9405]

Just stumbled across this...man he was mature for his age. That's a lot of wisdom and foresight for someone that young that came from those upbringings. Mad respect!

[@OOGLiBOOGLiTX]

Truly a legit human who haves a positive outlook of life no matter what the world dishes out. Bravo to you "Logic" keep doing what your doing..... Keeping it Real and staying grounded.

[@Gr3ypool]

Wow... no matter how many negative comments pass through this feed my favorite rappers are still gonna be Logic, Joey Bada$$, and Kendrick lamar lol. Fuck the haters.

[@RobWRLD]

You should listen to Jay Electronica... real recognize real.

[@Miles-mf9kg]

lol all the "rappers" you named make trap music, Trap music isnt rap... im sure alot of people agree with me

[@jaybizz7966]

Myles Daske Ur a Re. Joey B, Kendrick is the furthest thing from trap. If you think that they are trap you look up ASAP Ferg./Trap lord

[@TriangleChoke96]

I'm a Hip Hop purist .... meaning I believe in the CULTURE, and Hip Hop is more than music .... BBoys/BGirls, DJs, Graf Writers, and MCs - I've been super critical of today's "rappers" - people don't even know what true Hip Hop culture is.... shit... there are people that don't even know that BBoys and BGirls as part of Hip Hop (they are actually the purist representatives of the Culture) BUT... all my shit aside.... I was resistant to fuck with these kids.... but after listening to them more .... the MCs you mentioned (Joey, Logic, Kendrick etc).... they are dope.... have legit skills and are very creative... I feel good about the return of the MC

[@jackhavick1]

Myles Daske Nope. You're pretty much dead wrong.

[@ghostsmodz3593]

whoever makes his beats is also a genius lol

[@jacksonjontra1282]

gosh I remember watching this interview the day it came out and had no idea who this dude was. I just kinda happened upon his music a few months later and I'm happy I did. Truly talented and good guy.

[@IndiAnimal83]

This dude is nice and i like the advice he gave about not quitting school or your job to do music unless it's paying your bills.

[@BBAERSTANCE1]

Got my oil changed at that jiffy lube all the time

[@xTBars]

Brian Baer yeah cause people get their oil changed all the time

[@carterx7]

[@dallasgraybeard59]

JaeInTheCut looks givenchy but I doubt it he probably didn't have the money for that back then so idk

[@elenalovato5301]

He is so cute even when talking about his home life. He really inspires me. I love him

[@UKissfan0330]

This guy is so amazing. I really hope he becomes more successful and stays humble

[@OfficialOtherPlanet]

I'm not gonna throw out there that logic is known because of FaZe, FaZe only gave him a little boost but it's kind of cocky he doesn't mention that in any of his interviews, It doesn't seem like FaZe gave him a boost, but keep in mind every REAL fan of FaZe, Wich are millions... would know Logic because of FaZe Temperrr, They are actually friends

[@david-sw6cw]

Nadeshot is also his friend and he always plays his music on his stream
