@Nicotine 5 is half of 10. Half of a circle is a semi circle. A semi circle is a bisected circle. Bi equals two. Logic is Bi Racial. Maponay glamtanto is Logic. Therefore Blampony Ramptango is Bi Racial. They complete eachother. Two 5/10s combine to make a 10/10. Full circle, full racial and flawless Logic

Its hard to say exactly why, but I never feel like his full potential is realized, but I'm really excited for the day he manages to pull an album together that does.

Hey Anthony, normally I feel like your reviews are all over the place when you review a Logic album.

[@lukeshaffer9316]

I'm gonna disagree with you on your point that Logic rapping "as money" should have been its own song. Doing that would have been a complete repeated idea as the song "Nikki" from Under Pressure. I think Logic recycled the idea enough and that it shouldn't have come up again in later projects like this. But Logic is SYNONYMOUS with recycling ideas. Logic Drinking Game: Listen to this man's discography and take a shot every time he says "hit you with a beretta". Dude recycles the same lines over and over again. Hasn't had a new idea since The Incredible True Story. What a shame, Under Pressure was one of the best debuts in history.

[@mcbill7352]

The title track from this album is stunning imo

[@MyNamesRevenge]

I've been a fan of Logic's music since 2011 and in my opinion he's been going downhill since Incredible True Story. His first two albums were great but after that it just seems that he kinda stopped trying and the most recent projects haven't impressed me. oh yea, and as a huge fan of the old Young Sinatra tapes, this project was a massive disappointment. As much as Logic or some of his stans wants to believe that this project brought back that alter-ego, it didn't and that's just how it is. edit: i didn't expect this comment to gain as much traction as it did, so i'm going to respond to some points i've been seeing in the replies to this: 1) I've read some comments saying that "this project felt like his old mixtapes" but I can't agree with that at all. he isn't testing his lyrical ability like he did on the old tapes, like I said it sounds like he isn't even trying. He's been recycling bars, and SIMPLE bars at that; he is also only doing it over the most polished of boom-bap beats, which like Anthony said, is the opposite of what boom bap is meant to be, and I think even Logic is confused when fans say they wanted a Young Sinatra title again. the Young Sinatra tapes weren't PURELY boom-bap, there were trap records as well but even he was lyrical on those unlike the Bobby Tarantino projects. Young Sinatra had the raw and gritty feel when it came to boom bap and fun and energetic when it came to trap, but there was still a ton of effort to make the lyrics mean something. Honestly, this ENTIRE project felt like a compilation of songs that were cut from Everybody and that's just my opinion and I can't see that changing anytime soon. I like Bobby, and I enjoy his music, but this is definitely a low point in his career, music-wise. 2) Everybody was not his most ambitious project to date. Yes, he touched on political issues, but he has BEEN doing that. I said that he stopped trying in terms of doing anything new or testing himself. Everybody and YSIV felt like the same album. They had very similar sounds, sonically, and you can't deny that. I talked about this mostly in the first point, but he stopped trying with the story telling, with the way that he forced words to fit into certain lines, make certain things mean what he wants them to mean, etc. He is just writing basic bars to decent beats now. Nothing on this album really got my attention except for the Wu-Tang track and Iconic and the Wu-Tang track he only delivered on for like 40 seconds of an 8 MINUTE song. 3) People are telling me that my opinion is wrong, but that's incorrect. You can have your opinion, and I can have mine. We don't have to agree, that's what makes music beautiful. There is something for everybody, you can like something I don't like and vice-versa. Just enjoy what you have and live your life, stop letting the opinions of others get to your head. 4) This wasn't something I saw in the comments, but I feel like I should put it here before I forget. Logic forgot who the character of Young Sinatra was. He always used to talk about this alias as, in a shorter term, the "smooth and classy rhyme killer". He didn't bring that personality onto this track at all. Go listen to Young Sinatra III and tell me that this album feels the same as anything from this song. Even the title track, YSIV, didn't feel like a Young SInatra track and that's the whole purpose of a YS track. The best part of that song was after the switch-up, which honestly (like Anthony also said) should have been it's own song. Nothing about this project gave off Young Sinatra vibes. Y'all can hate me for that opinion, but that's how I feel and that's just how it is lmao

Anthony. Can you please do a review of Shakey Graves newest album "Can't Wake Up" and compare it to his last album "The War Came". Its amazing how wide his range of music is and how much different his music from 3 years ago is compared to now.

[@SanguineIllusion]

I feel this so hard. I really like Logic as a person, he seems to work really hard and care about his work and a lot of people seem to like him, and he has some considerable technical ability but I just don't ever enjoy anything he makes to pull it off the shelf and listen to it. It just never catches my spirit. It still puts him ahead of mountains of low-effort music that doesn't hit me but I"m giving up on hope of ever really enjoying a new release.

[@ThunderFan-zl1se]

I understand your points, I also am not a music guru let alone a huge logic fan. But with some of the recent garbage hitting top charts it’s refreshing to here a flow that isn’t mumble/straight up sing-rapping(drake). I know em just dropped kamikaze but it’s pretty hard to listen to after the first experience

[@bsagz]

Not sure if y'all actually listened to Logics mixtapes because every single Young Sinatra track has used that Nas sample, not just the third one, so it would be weird not to use it on the final one.

[@frederickbingley6699]

Idk i feel like Logic came into his influences with this one. He always treated the YS’s like Joey treated 1999 and to see his final one as an album and still stay true to the form

[@kurtsangel5387]

i don't care about this but under pressure was at least a 7.

[@anthony._l7155]

Under pressure is a light 7. Best songs being soul food and under pressure. But I think the incredible true story was a bit better. I like more of the songs on that. Intermission, I am the greatest, run it, and the incredible true story. That one is a strong 7 to light 8 for me. Would have been a 9 if it wasn't kinds corny and the story wasn't there or if it was executed better.

[@trumanavenue]

I’d say this is your strongest Logic review ever. In most Logic reviews of yours, it feels like you really go more into the “Logic bites” aspect than into the music for large parts of it. This has a lot more about the music and your thoughts on the actual songs that he makes, and not how he sounds similar to another artist (I think some of your claims are shoddy about his biting (UP comes to mind), but others are true, he does have a variety of flows and loves to emulate his favorites). I saw the 5 and expected another review where you laugh at how he steals from artists and doesn’t show his personality, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was a solid review. Coming from a big logic fan, nice job. I hope he watches this review.

[@tylerd1297]

Under Pressure the song is a hard bite of Sing About Me, not only did he rap from his family's perspective (like Kendrick did) he completely copied the samples. There is no way that he coincidentally came up with a song that has the same concept and samples. The rest of the album isn't too bad but you can't deny songs like I'm Gone and Gang Related use Kendrick flows and sound like GKMC

[@trumanavenue]

Tyler D •__________•

[@trumanavenue]

Tyler D you missed the point of my comment, and I think other than UP song, Gang Related and I’m Gone are not Kendrick clones. I’m not saying they have no similar elements, but they are considerably different, and just having similar topics takes nothing away. But it’s all good. I appreciate your comment.

[@edisonbrendel97]

I feel like the ending of street dreams 2 wasn’t supposed to be a profound twist in terms of a surprise, but symbolism. Like he comes to the realization that he’s held his wife “hostage” by starting a family with her and neglecting their relationship/family

[@TheGreatAndEpicMe]

holy shit i just realized that melon's acting was so good that I basically disassociated Cal from melon that I basically think he's a whole diffdrent person.

[@johnnabers8280]

Man logic really let himself go

[@ColorMePixel]

I kind of feel like this is evident of these types of artist getting famous at a young and it being good but detrimental to their art later on. A lot of the songs are lyrically something he's already talked at length about and are just being rehashed since logic hasn't had that many new experiences to rap about. Overall, I kind of feel like he has pigeonholed himself and any drastic shift will not only lose him a lot of fans but also a lot of credibility. Also he's biracial

[@zkcud2858]

I agree

[@ismaele9503]

I actually want to see him go some where else completey. But having gone to a concert of his recently, its evident if he changed up his style and message a decent amount, he'd lose a lot of his base. He attracts more non rap fans than more rappers it seems, one of those people being my girlfriend.

[@awesomeuio]

accidentally watching the cal intro in 1.5x speed was the highlight of my day

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

I think it is still a pretty enjoyable pop rap album to listen to like Nicki Minaj Pinkprint but somehow the r and b vibe got lost during the transition of his albums after all it is mostly produced by 6ix and I had reason to believe this vibe would come back like the No Pressure album did

[@DrBachur]

I saw the thatistheplan green screen behind Cal, boy, you can't pull the wool over our eyes forever.
