[@owenmurray8654]

Logic, Kendrick, J.Cole, Joey Bada$$/ Pro Era, are bringing back hiphop

[@TeakySnee]

preach it brother

[@ModernMaster200]

Owen Murray looks like we have the same music taste fam aha

[@vZZenn]

Owen Murray Check out QuEst

[@mikailharoon5156]

skizzy mars is pretty good too

[@donovancooper382]

this didn't age well for logic... i miss the old logic

[@elian7862]

Absolutely love the way Logic carries himself. #UnderPressure

[@HugoHum]

***** *Awkward claps*

[@wav.yliving]

Dang what Logic was saying in the end about music is so true. It all depends on where you came from, what you grew up knowing

[@vukaleksic3550]

there are two sides of that;the YG side and Kendrick side of CPT

[@wav.yliving]

Vuk Aleksic huh?

[@vukaleksic3550]

SickestRap Place where you come from can affect you in two ways:You can blend in and run the streets,or you can be critical and look at it realistically and say "fuck it,you shouldn't do this or thar".I took YG as an example of the first one,Kendrick of the 2nd one

[@wav.yliving]

Vuk Aleksic yeahh but in order to change, you gotta see different things, and im guessing kendrick was around more wise people (very few) than YG

[@vukaleksic3550]

SickestRap As far as I know from the music I heard,they hung out with eachother,maybe not so much like best friends,but they knew eachother,so that's maybe a clue that they moved around same circles and knew the same people.For me it's all personal.Kendrick is way smarter than him,and than most of the rap game today,he saw what was good and what was not so good

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

Logic is so intelligent, I will support him for life!

[@SharunoYO]

Same #RattPack till my pulse flat

[@teex1]

do u ?

[@ikbenmilan]

​@@teex1 i do ❤

[@TheRelentlessKnight]

+roger bustillos its out

[@tm9380]

+TheRelentlessKnight and its godlike complex need a new vid

[@LFZeus]

This will be the album that shakes the world of hip-hop.

[@wolfstar675]

No.

[@MetalOfAllOwns]

No? lol it already has man.. Under Pressure is Fire.

[@VGAstral]

Logic is such a smart man, thumbs up if you liked and think his example with the tree and leaves is so right and very good way to look at it like!

[@TheLovely990]

I love this young man's story. If you believe the stats, he is not suppose to be doing this. Many blessings to logic.

[@Thabelo1018]

That one time in two month you see cole's name in the news, damn it's hard outchea for cole fans.

[@dwill4295]

I feel your pain

[@Calixgamer30]

Foreal tho hopefully logics album will keep me cool till cole drops his next album shit im still waiting on the Cole/kendrick collab album its been 3 years

[@dwill4295]

Corey Ford I doubt it will even happen but it would be the greatest album ever

[@Calixgamer30]

I hope it does and it definitely would be

[@pullupthen5073]

Yo I can't wait till the Cole and Chance collab drop. That shit is gonna be fire

[@marpur1212]

Listened to some of his stuff awhile back and now "Under Pressure" and dude is ill. The way he carries himself, his beats, his flows. Dope shit man real dope.

[@zacharymark8918]

The lyrics is the most important thing, but logic Knows his way around a stage too.

[@Jimq9258]

i hope he keep it true to hip hop throughout his career and not sell out and only make ratchet music, or whatever thats gonna play on the radio the most. keep cole's advice, its not about the numbers.

[@trestonheard5658]

Definitely a talented artist, Under Pressure haves so many hits!

[@Michaelsm95]

That tree quote was some deep shit

[@Papermate123]

Michael Morris Nah I still don't fuck with the 2chainz of rap. We need more rappers like Logic, Kendrick, and J Cole to bring back some sort of order to this whack shit.

[@nicoooo]

Jay ElecHanukkah dude, thats exactly what he was talking about. It might me "whack" to you, but as he said in Atlanta thats properly what its about, I personally don't live in Atlanta so I can't say it with shit behind me but you're the person that he is talking about...

[@xdancraftx9544]

+nicoo- :/ can everyone stop talking about fucking kendrick Lamar? He is fucking shite, he doesn't even rap, he's pop, so fucking overated😡

[@nicoooo]

xDanCraftx lol wtf I didn't say anything about Kendrick, but that not even true, he raps about real stuff, start listing to his lyrics kid

[@RobinHood-cd9mh]

+xDanCraftx you have a minecraft picture, and x's at the end of your name. Go sit in a corner and be quiet you nine year old.

[@jpbauer5466]

The second half of this interview is actually super interesting now that logic is in retirement. A lot of the reasons for retiring were alluded to here. Not reading the comments and him waking up everyday wanting to rap. Those things have changed.

[@camreddish1fan202]

I love that under pressure beat in the background..

[@okaqe]

i miss this logic

[@kdubfresh23]

I been listening to Logic for about 2 1/2 years & I'll say that Under Pressure didn't disappoint. I'm not putting it against anything else b/c its his debut. Although I like how he strayed from his mixtape sound & created a new one on the album. Needless to say I'll be playing the album for some years until his next one. Congrats man, you reping the DMV #RattPak

[@ThatBoyGui]

Copped the leak since friday but Im still keeping my preorder to support Logic :)

[@Cologne2b]

I bought the album. I ONLY support real artists like J Cole, Kendrick and Logic.

[@rodneykboston]

Want a cookie?

[@Cologne2b]

R Boston I don't take stuff from strangers...sorry.

[@marshalmathias7846]

tbh Jonathan Mathis is better than ALL of them and his album's finna be free

[@dimitrijetucovic1307]

agree with u

[@JacobRTM]

Marshal Mathias Gtfo, never heard of Jonathan Mathis, & Logic is way better! And he gave us MIXTAPES for free.

[@PK14X]

Tomorrow, the rap game will change. Under Pressure >GKMC.

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

You haven't even heard the album yet and you are already saying that it's better than another one. Opinions of fans like you hold no merit because you will already say the album is great regardless of how it sounds.

[@imVampy]

I don't think that will happen tbh

[@PK14X]

Just watch home...

[@samuel2pac72]

U dumb af. Logic is mediocre. GKMC is a fucking masterpiece. Only has a couple flaws.

[@SocietyIsTwisted]

Samuel Sjöstedt Gonzalez The album is actually really fucking good. Not better than GKMC.

[@DynamicSkill]

The biggest reason the haters hate logic is because he doesn't always have the bounce effect in his songs like Drake and all of those rappers. Sorry his lyrics aren't always made for that type of hip hop.

[@youngsinatra382]

No he does Bruh.

[@youngsinatra382]

Oh what this was before BT

[@DM-dq5ci]

+Young Sinatra that's 1 project & he said its a turn up mixtape

[@deonnelson9780]

Damien Well he does now.

[@IntellectualDesp]

Album is dope. This should be critically acclaimed, really. Better than GKMC though? Maybe not.

[@munkcol]

Not better but It's just as good. GKMC had at least 3 tracks that are skip worthy. Logic album is front to back dope. No features til the bonus tracks. Crazy stories, dope song concepts and he doesn't let a lyric go to waste.

[@NotoriousYeshi]

munkcol what 3 tracks did you find skipable on GKMC?

[@IntellectualDesp]

No tracks on GKMC are skippable. It subtracts from the story.

[@WavvyJi]

he kind of incorporated the GKMC style into his album a little so its GKMC is the big brother to this album. Plus kendricks lyrics are a bit better.

[@kosiokeke9484]

munkcol not a damn song on GKMC is skip-able.

[@roshadking9136]

Dope album logic every track and every beat is dope keep up the good work

[@SalTheSneakerHead]

Tomorrow!!!!! Omfg can't wait I've been waiting forever

[@TsipporahChristopher]

8:30 is the Real Shit. I'm in love his intellect

[@pioneer240.]

This is the logic im always talking about and miss

[@ChrisXCVII]

Logic as feature on the Kendrick x Cole collab album would be sooo dope!

[@shantar3608]

Love the Tree of Life thing at the end. Really explains alot.

[@CLOVERCITYY15]

4 words..under pressure was DOPE

[@kennywoo206]

This cat is dope! Thoroughly impressed with Under Pressure

[@HighFlown]

right after they just had an intelligent and very articulate conversation, at the end he goes turn up, swag lmao this guy is the shit

[@melloncollieethaghost6037]

people gotta realize the heart put into their lyrics, not only the lyrics. know the person, not the product

[@user-ho7ly1ok7b]

i feel like him going mainstream would kill his music, because only a few rappers can pull off mainstream like, J. Cole, Kendrick, etc. i would rather have him stay underground

[@wolfstar675]

It's gonna be very hard for him to stay underground. It would be better but I doubt it.

[@b3ar307]

GTFO IF YOUR SAYING THAT YOURE A FAKE FAN

[@ownedpowned860]

wow everything u said happened i felt this would happen 2 such a shame

[@WSBWallstreetBets]

When is the song 'Tree of Life' being released though?!

[@abhiaravalli1418]

And in 2017 they finally make a track together, I love it #RATTPACK

[@flatsfishin]

Logic seems chill as fuck.

[@bysuave6737]

this was the realist interview ever.

[@loudbill]

Under Pressure is such a good album.

[@PSNOkayyy]

I like the song im gone and til the end the most

[@loudbill]

My favorite song right now is Gang Related

[@jsoncoding1025]

i liked as soon as i heard the intro

[@salvador5485]

J. Cole & Logic collab!

[@mblakey6]

Classic album

[@TheEnjoyHD]

So happy for logic ! Hard work pays off

[@BreezyVIL]

Glad to see him grow

[@geovannizamora9601]

Wu tang , hopsin, and logic are the best

[@ProlificPops]

With all the stuff he's been through, I'm still confused how Logic can be so enthusiastic and is almost always smiling during his interviews. Kendrick has been through some shit (during the time period of a few months before he released TPAB) and you can see it in his eyes, his voice, and the way he acts and in his interviews and that he has been depressed. But Logic has gone through the same, if not worse, and still smiles all the time. It amazes me so much.

[@iamphysic]

5:53 is my favorite part hahahaa

[@Ksu_]

he's so smart and humble!

[@MrlDase]

Cant wait to go to best buy tomorrow and cop that physical copy!

[@ggluv23]

I see him going very far. He's amazing 😍

[@wolfstar675]

Hopefully he doesn't go that mainstream because it can affect his music. Very few rappers go mainstream while still maintaining their creative vision.

[@StewartGaming23]

WOLF STAR welp 😂

[@jfiazy]

7:00 "what's the craziest interaction you've had with the fans" logic: "I've had bitches show up to my hotel naked" oh lord

[@Luna]

BRO

BRAH

[@XeDope]

Amazing, you a logic fan as much as me. Dude let's talk bruh.

[@kegleg7057]

Hi Luna

[@ADAJ3KINGANGEL]

I hope his album does well & lives up to the hype.

[@ImBlueJay]

any body remember the song by logic where it goes, "we are ready to go to go." with the kids singing

[@jared_0372]

Im JXG it's are you ready feat Phil ade

[@MyFavoriteSportsballTeam]

Like the insight at the end. I hate on those type of artists plenty. I still can't say I respect 2 chainz because he advocates a lot of ignorance with his music, but I respect the frame of mind that at the end of the day you have to respect hip-hop for being so diverse & recognize that if every rapper was doing the same thing this genre would not be as amazing as it is!

[@nahomtek]

mad respect for Logic.

[@xBustedHeart]

Wow he's truly an inspiration

[@Harry-ij6dx]

Who would have thought he has a triple platinum song and all that he has achieved, crazy

[@CG-uy8dk]

I LOVE you Logic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Logic and King Lil G are underrated

[@rallenfanbtw]

PLEASE RELEASE THE SLUG TRACK BRO

[@Craaaazyboy100]

Finallyyyyy

[@DUDINCHI]

The cohesive part, he took it from mykectown the guy from dead end hip hop

[@mikhailpugliano9610]

I can see why you'd say that but cohesive isn't Myke C-town's word, nor is it solely his view as to what helps make a good album

[@ItsMichaelCalvillo]

Mikhail Pugliano Logic said it himself that because Myke had said on Undeniable it wasn't cohesive enough for him so Logic took it to heart and improve.@whatwhatwhat? wasn't just talking out of his ass.

[@avantnarde2815]

What's the beat at 7:53?

[@onemejia9086]

The Come Up - Logic

[@JesseMacisSEX]

Shit he really got me thinking

[@CarlosRojasCain]

Idk why the logic fanbase is so Stanned out already. This album imo, was very solid, a true hiphop album. But lyrically he just doesn't say as much throughout as In past tapes and I feel like waiting so long for 8 songs and a bunch of singles we've played out already...idm it left me unsatisfied. The songs he got right are great, but a few seemed rushed. Album of the YEAR? Wait on Kdot. He shouldn't have recorded an entire album in two weeks that doesn't sound like perfection. Gang related, metropolis, growing pains III, nikki, buried alive, Under Pressure...best tracks. Gkmc 9/10 Under Pressure 7.5/10

[@supertboi123]

Kendrick ain't dropping in 2014... That single he dropped screams that he doesn't know what he's doing with the album yet.

[@JS_GOTI]

So you talk about Logic's "Stans"... but then go on to be a Stan for Kendrick? Yeah, good luck with that. Lol

[@MyFavoriteSportsballTeam]

Bruh 2 weeks to record an album is just fine. A song is 4-5 minutes long more often than not. How many times do you think he needs to rap that song to get it right? A song usually takes a couple hours to record, and only maybe 45 minutes of that is actually recording the dude, part of it will be innovating, discussing, and some small edits. WAY more time goes to prodution and post-production. Get what you're saying beforehand but don't knock a fact you don't understand.

[@noobs0and0clanwars]

Carlos Rojas that statement couldn't be more right

[@cyswrlds_1855]

Who else here after his new song!?
