LOGIC 'COLLEGE PARK' ALBUM REVIEW. HOW GOOD IS IT?

[@bradenwatt4165]

The thing is like Logic said in No Pressure he doesn't really care about being top 5 anymore. He just wants to experiment and try things out and thats what he is doing here. This music is for the true fans the fans that have been there since day one.

[@erikeliasson4739]

I mean he says he doesnt care, and he says he doesnt care every other sentance… Almost like he still cares.

Never take logic seriously when he says he doesn’t care

[@leevenable8628]

Very easy to chill to this album in the background cleaning the house. And honestly his volume of music is so large that anything new is fine with me. I prefer he just release music for himself and I just listen to whatever that is. This album was really good. As a 32 year old my life parallels with his so much. I have a 3 year old and followed him since 2011 so his music in context of his life is really incredible. It's like an ongoing autobiography

[@fantasythinkerfan]

Ongoing autobiography is the perfect way to put it

[@leevenable8628]

I think you get lost in searching for something mind blowing but you've critiqued so much music you can't just drift into someone else's artwork. The next time you listen to a Logic album don't listen to the lyrics as wordplay, listen to the syllables as an instrument. There isn't another hip hop artist that has put out as many songs that lift your spirit when listening. And if anyone can think of someone I'd like to know. I use Logics music to focus on my daily grind through life and to just put me in a good mood.

[@ValiantDoesStuff]

Rare L bro, you’re throwing out bad takes every minute 😭

[@fuadfatani6054]

This might be Logic’s best produced album. I know Vinyl Days went crazy but here every beat is wild, and the instruments and the samples go hard every time

[@weeb_french_turkish_hater]

fr insipio 2nd beat with lucys voice made me tear up in the 1st listen shit is beautiful;

[@jarob1541]

i’d disagree, coming up as a kid who literally didn’t have shit, your gonna take 20 million and have guaranteed generational wealth over not taking that 20 million and risking not making that much with just sticking to rap. It worked out fine, he made like 30 million off radio hits and can now jus chill and do what he wants.

[@Soupytimeee]

The skits tell a story and it’s a full concept album/story not a playlist of bangers but I can see why people would want skits separated but I basically only listen to albums in full not playlists of random songs so it doesn’t bother me at all it’s the whole experience of it that’s amazing

[@coopthegreat5747]

[@Manditosoldado]

[@joebraum5678]

I was thinking that the skits weren't so bad and I found them funny, so I didn't get why so many people hated them. Then you said the weed-head thing and it all makes a lot more sense lmao.

[@itsyeboired5651]

Lol drake a better rapper then logic? And logic not making pop music since day one? Listen to logics first mixtapes. Literally has so many types of music

[@infernalflamezz7480]

Appreciate you for still providing these 'for free' Ernest!! Loved every minute of it.

[@radazex2256]

I think you may have misunderstood the non-binary bar on Redpill VII. Non-binary people actually choose neither male nor female. The point of that bar is the "that means it never miss," as in a non-binary person would never choose an honorific like "Miss" (or "Mister"). And then of course, the other meaning is that his flow never *misses*

[@bhrurmi7756]

Logic didnt have no 20 mill until he went pop. He wants his family to be good for years to come so he went mainstream, and when you see an oppurtunity as an up and coming emcee to reach your peak popularity, why wouldnt you? If Logic didnt go mainstream, he wouldnt even be in the conversation and alotta people wouldnt be tapping in for NP, VD and now CP. I myself wouldnt’ve been listening

[@tristanmargita8399]

these skits not bad tbh

[@jao5259]

They are a bit corny but they are not bad by any means, If you don't like it just skip it

[@CyLo_CS]

I fully agree on making the skits a separate track because it gets annoying skipping the song, mostly when your doing a rep in the gym lol.

[@deanoor9391]

I've listened to this album for a couple days straight and it's getting better and better. I like the fact logic no longer gives a fuck about what people think of his music now It's your first listen...I suggest you listen again (your opinions seem a bit nitpicky imo)

[@sqeakyman123]

It was a bit nitpicky but he’s a reviewer, and it definitely gets better with every listen especially when you get to light year each time it’s awesome!

[@lenzo4412]

The skits are telling a story from start to finish. Trying to listen out for mind blowing lyrics is not a good way to listen to an album.

[@Strudderz]

these are some of the worst takes of ernest on logics music out of any video lol 👎👎👎👎

[@nicholegarcia4887]

Man I used to love watching your reviews cause you were always so lit about them. Weather it was good or not, you were the hype man…. I miss the old Ernest.

[@nickwait5260]

I found Logic because of the 1800 song and he helped me fall in love with rap which was a genre I had always ragged on back in the day (grew up as a metalhead with minimal rap exposure). Since finding his music I generally enjoy pretty much everything he puts out be it hard boom bap 90s style rapping or his more theatrical albums with skits and features. I genuinely find it so hard to figure out why there is so much back n fortha bout this? Can't people just either say "hey this is or isn't for me and I'm cool with that". As much as I don't have a lot of experience listening to rap (a bit more now) I would put Logic up there as a top 5 rapper. The funny thing is - people always talk about him so either they're salty he sold out and continued to be successful or they just hate-listen to his music. Every time I try and talk to people about Logic this same old fuckin discussion starts up and it's SO tiring man. Makes me not even want to listen to rap if there's all this infighting about such nitpicky details that happened 6 years ago lol.

[@Shmee69]

12:01 bro shut up lmao not everyone knows what it means

[@brandonmalik6641]

Seriously

[@420_momentum]

Great video but at what u said at 8:54 i highly disagree with u. Everyone is different and everyone's perceptions , worldview , life experinces and mindsets are all different. There are many people who prefer logic over some of the top commercial artist. There is nothing wrong with that because everybody is different and has different taste.

[@lucatheintellectualgiant]

Top 5 favorite tracks on the album 1) Clone Wars 2) Redpill VII 3) Self Medication 4) Ayyo 5) Village Slum

[@sandradavidabby]

Soooo nice !! Glad u did a review on this album so quick 🤘🏻

[@adidhar1]

its a fire album...

[@iceflow1653]

Logic isn't in the top 5, might not even be in the top 10. But somehow his songs just didn't age for me, from his mixtape to this new album.

[@PtylerBeats]

I understand your feeling about skits, but skipping them on your first listen completely destroys the experience of the album. Also, skipping the songs you’ve already heard does this as well. The singles fit so much better in context, and make the album flow really well. The skits do this as well. I only just recently started skipping the skits because I’ve heard them enough in the context of the album. But you gotta at least do a one time listen through the entire album as the artist intended. Otherwise you aren’t getting the full experience.

[@novianadi3244]

Idk but i love the skits, they funny af

[@mentos7070]

so many shit takes tbh especially that lightyear one u can do better

[@jackfoudray]

I love this album and I don't mind the actual skits themselves. But the fact that they're embedded into the track is obnoxious to me lol. I can never listen to the song and have it play on, I'll either have to skip it manually or listen to the skit time and time again.

[@andrewbinkley4069]

TITS is without a doubt, to me, one of the best hip hop albums of all time. The raps may not be the most bar heavy of all time, but just the concept and over all production and vibe is just so damn good

[@KennyKeefner2]

bro said logic explains his bars too much then immediately explains why to crush a water bottle in npc fashion🤣

[@Lankins21]

How do you listen to that much music and not know that Seth Macfarlane is a super talented singer? lol

I’ve been a Logic fan since his mixtapes in 2011 and I just enjoy anything he puts out I don’t think he has to prove himself to anyone anymore he just puts out what he wants and I like it.

he puts out what he wants and its fire

@@weeb_french_turkish_hater agreed

[@casualtake1497]

So much education in this session, and i definitely agree even though im logic fan, im not gonna place it above drake, especially the old drake.

[@jessemastro]

I think what this album does best is showcase the differences in hunger between a version of Logic that wanted the fame and respect, and the version of Logic who just doesn’t care about that anymore and just wants to rap or do whatever he wants because it’s what makes him happy. Imo, this project sends that message pretty clearly, especially in tracks like Lightyear, Ayo, & Self Medication. This man doesn’t care about being relevant in the top whatever rappers debate anymore. He did then, and you can hear that perspective in songs like Gaithersburg Freestyle or the verses that talk about the desire for money in Lightsabers, etc. His hunger has changed from wanting to be the best go simply wanting to enjoy what he loves and in the hopes that the fans join him for the ride

[@wendyraymond1751]

Well enjoyed this thanku you rock much love an God bless always x

[@morehoops]

The reason you can see Mack's bars coming is because his setups are actually flawless

[@morehoops]

He also puts out hours of rap content per week not every bar is going to be like someone who takes 7 months to put something out

[@avocadocolorado3433]

Or they're just simple

[@skateboardinguitaris]

[@veirglas]

@@TheEvanMahon especially going from a somewhat mainstream rapper to then making over 20 mil after working your ass off for years, i think he just went for it, and proved making shit like coadm he made tons of money and didnt make that much off of np and vd

[@lucatheintellectualgiant]

Why do you guys like being on logic's case ... I feel logic recieves more Criticism than any other rapper that we listen to and it's so annoying. For once guys just learn to enjoy the music for what it is rather than always expecting the artist to live to those high expectations and if you really don't like the song. Don't listen to it It's that simple Personally i feel like College Park is one of the dopest albums we've had so far this year and I'm not saying this coz I'm a logic fan. I'm saying this because I feel he's been putting the extra work to secure he's place in the game. The least you can do is give him he's flowers while he's alive.

[@JustinVollrath]

I think cole and kenny slowly have gotten worse. Its tiring to listen to. Logic was always steady. I knew what to expect. Eminem is too technical its exhausting. When it comes to the last 10 years of music, I honestly think logic is in my top 5. Pre 2010's we have the goats. Also, you need to read the Logic Memoir. You'll learn a lot about what you think you know. That book really made me see him in a different light and if I ever met him I'd want to give him a hug. Not for me, but for him.

[@DUnit-fi1iw]

Agreed. Cole may not have as bad of lows as Logic has had but let’s not pretend like No Pressure, Vinyl Days and College Park aren’t better than everything Cole has put out since 2014. Give me Logic’s discog. Idk if it’s in this cut since I saw the 2h live stream but at one point says we’re biased towards Logic but he’s obviously biased towards Cole.

[@KingKhupacabra]

Agree. Logic is in my top 5 of the 2010s. J Cole and Ken r amazing but rlly to their not that amazing as everyone is making out to be. IMO I prefer Cole I’ve Ken. But Logic is a perfect blend of old and new hip hop

[@RawNoLimits]

Backwards take, Logic wasn't always steady, he took a decline from Everybody onwards then bounced back hard with No Pressure. Kendrick is one of the most consistent rappers of all time with projects which us why he's so respected. MMATBS was his worst album and still solid (8 for me). And Cole has literally been on the greatest feature run we've seen from any rapper in the past five years. Those two are in a lane Logic will never reach and that's fine, Logic still does what he does and I've been enjoying it the last three albums straight.

[@D-Linkwentz]

you wish he would rap more melodically yet you didnt like/review Highlife lmao. ok.

[@lucidphts709]

Ernest have you ever heard any of logics mixtapes? before under pressure?

[@swaggylooselips6857]

I personally like the album. Has a mix of "old" logic style boom-bap raps and instrumentals and has growth and new more melodic styles. It parallels his concept of "coming up" and his ideology back then vs where he is at now. Also I see two sides to the "pop" albums hate. In TITS I think he wanted to explore a new sound, push a "fun concept" while working with bigger name producers/artists. Everybody is the tipping point of Logic trying to push his "Peace, Love, Positivity" but doing so in a too commercial fashion while trying to secure a generational bag.

[@jordangayle7794]

I haven’t searched the coordinates yet, I’m assuming it directs you to College Park? I do agree that stint of songs (Clone Wars - Playwright) are the only low part of the album. Logic with 3 very solid albums in a row👀. I also would’ve enjoyed the skits being their own tracks like he did on Vinyl Days. I’m bumping Cordinates and Shimmy hard. Gaithersburg Freestyle gets stale if you bump on repeat too many times. Be weary. 🫡 8/10.
