Logic Discusses His Challenging Upbringing

[@spatorade]

You know what I notice most about Logic. His intelligence. The way he explains he thoughts and emotions is crisp, and crystal clear.

[@kuharua54]

It's obvious that this a reason why most of black people don't accept him as black. He's articulate and sharp, things that are considered white.

[@evananderson1455]

So I guess white people from the bayou aren't really white? Most white people from Boston or new York aren't really white? That's some braindead racist bullshit you're spreading there, James.

[@kuharua54]

@@evananderson1455 I'm not saying it's an innate quality of any race. I'm saying that's the toxic side of rap culture and consequently black culture. Carrying yourself intelligently isn't seen as cool.

[@ofesp.]

I’m not sure why people hate logic so much. If J Cole made Everybody and spoke on being biracial and his issues, people would call it “progressive” and it would win awards. Not sure why people have to hate him for being biracial, but that’s pretty damn racist. No matter how you look at it. “I don’t hate him because he’s biracial, I hate him because he talks about it so much” in his ENTIRE decade long discography has ONE album that focuses on his race and the state of the world right now. Logic is a dope rapper. He just doesn’t fit the stereotypical rapper look. And people hate that. He has a personality and is himself. Yet everyone hates on him. Get a life and hate on R Kelly or Sam Pepper, or someone that’s actually fucked up.

[@britann9539]

Oh i didnt realise people hated on him. I thought he was well respected in the community.

[@ofesp.]

shirley rae To Old Heads and Lyricists, absolutely. Logic is an extremely nerdy guy who came from an extremely rough upbringing and for some people that doesn’t mesh. They let his personality affect how they view his music, even if they won’t admit it.

[@calbear105]
