[@mikeoxmall6729]

"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not." He said it so casually but that is lowkey the most inspirational thing ever

[@QuintonsChannel]

Keemstar's Daughter that's a kurt cobain quote

[@paulnewman3655]

Keemstar's Daughter very well known quote

[@PindakaasPelican]

Cobain actually borrowed it- intentionally or incidentally- from André Gide's novel 'Autumn Leaves' (1942).

[@LegalizeRanch69]

Keemstar's Daughter cliche

[@kishalane2259]

+Legalize Ranch VERY. lol

[@deltahbeats]

that boy logic smart as hell

[@ThanhCNgo]

he has, you know, ... logic.

[@27lucas3la]

hell yeah

[@Tojoj22]

His IQ is 500

[@jackiemorales5214]

Ol

[@BrandonButaneBute]

Would be epic af to see a collaboration between Tech N9ne, Logic and Macklemore.

[@Playuh]

Logic has so much logic he's become the definition of logic.

[@Okkotsu86275]

Jonathan Bailey Nice!!!!! I dig what you did there.

[@younglebron101]

Jonathan Bailey true

[@AsteroSloth]

Jonathan Bailey is a pun or ideology ?

[@stephen148484]

DEADLY&GAMING BROS I'd say both

[@Heisen-burgerr]

That's exactly why he chose that name. From physiological to just logic

[@urayoangarriga]

I swear Logic be doing some airbender type shit when talking

[@aaron-gh3pn]

URAYOAN GARRIGA lmao ive noticed that too

[@SharunoYO]

He on some anime shit

[@itz.blackiechan9243]

im dead bro

[@AsteroSloth]

iTz.Blackiechan shit are you the black Jesus ?

[@ZengaRFL]

Knowledge is power

[@sahilio7]

Logic doesn't rap, he teaches.

[@sahilio7]

Fuckyoubitchmurder Ebk 666 We can all tell your an immature 14 year old. I don't understand why you even comment something negative bro. My comment didn't affect you, yet you write something negative expecting it to affect someone else. I say you start to grow up a bit little man and show some respect.

[@oWetThings]

corny

[@shakeemrobinson30]

Sahil K he's just a Internet troll lol

[@zachpolan8719]

Sahil K didn't affect him but it was fucking gay

[@Tojoj22]

Yeah I want to go to Logic University

[@KaelenB]

When a high school dropout is one of the most intelligent celebrities you've ever seen.

[@anthony._l7155]

What do you mean? Have you heard the Everybody album?

[@anthony._l7155]

@Kyle Kissinger tell me what I am doing specifically that he says in the interview

[@anthony._l7155]

@Kyle Kissinger yeah I didn't read that first comment right. Let me further elaborate on why everybody is not good: there's a great deal of talking on the album, he clearly lacks political knowledge on the song America (and on some other songs that I forgot cause I haven't listened to it in a while). Killing spree comes off as someone who's vegan that tells everyone that what they're eating came from a unholy place. And the album is called everybody but it mainly focuses on black people being proud and beautiful. And logic is super annoying when he wonders why people hated the album when it's about peace love and positive vibes and everyone and everything is equal. You have nothing to do but like the album or else your just a trump loving, black hating person. Of course some of the songs I like such as black Spiderman, the last track( I don't know how to spell), and even America. I guess I like the basic messages of the song but I mostly listen for the estetic. There's more I have to say about this but this is already a cluster fuck of thoughts. 3/10 logics most corny and cringy concept album.

[@anthony._l7155]

@Kyle Kissinger what I gave was criticism, not hate. I dont hate logic. Take it as negativity If u want but I want logic to improve, not give him a pat on the back and hand him a participation award.

[@anthony._l7155]

@Kyle Kissinger and I didn't bash 1800 and black Spiderman. Those were the highlights imo

[@producekyro]

0:19 love that small little dab

[@Slugzzzzz]

Jon David Rodriguez 😂😂fr

[@beastboi8418]

Jon David Rodriguez I laughed harder than I should have! xD

[@lumps7836]

lmao same

[@sebastiansebastian5270]

That's what I love about Logic... He doesn't give a shit about anything

[@SharunoYO]

Flex

[@SamNotHam]

this dude does NOT stutter.... impeccable speaking skills.

[@AuthenticMentalHealth]

Nice to see an artist openly talking about mental health

[@MichaelBerezny]

I'm going to show this to my middle school students. Such a powerful message!

[@wari5138]

damn u sound like such a cool teacher to play a logic interview in class

[@j3llyzz]

wish that was my teacher lol

[@Scarcro1]

Where were teachers like you when I was in middle school??? I would've had a much different experience, that's for sure...

[@fruitninja4923]

Mikey Bee show them some classic hip hop as well. BDP PUBLIC ENEMY ERIC B AND RAKIM. THATS WHEN HIP HOP STOOD FOR SOMETHING.

[@Jharrisimages]

Some artists STILL stand for something, they just aren't featured most of the time because they don't "stick to the message" that the record companies want you to hear, which is "Buy merch, act this way and do these things because that's what's cool." When really it's a smoke screen to keep the masses fighting each other and buying shit they don't need to keep the rich rich and the poor poor. Does anyone here really think record execs give two shits about some kid getting killed on the street because he had the wrong colors on or because he was on the wrong side of a certain street? Nah, these motherfuckers drink their $800 liquor and drive their Maserati's around LA and collect that money either way. THAT is the downfall of hip hop, people listening to the wrong message. Money, clothes, cars and hoes don't accomplish a damn thing.

[@mcnugger8305]

Finally an interview that doesn't bore me

[@donutsnipes600]

Mc Nugger same

[@solidjames5704]

The dude Tavis pays attention real well... made it a lot better to watch

[@EyeSeen2047]

When he dabbed after he said "1 billion" 🤣

[@LetsDoBetterNow]

Jerry Jimenez lol was gonna say same thing lol

[@rajkandhari2745]

It's so refreshing to see to see two mature and wise guys talk about hip hop and life. It's way better than hearing the trash from Charlemagne when he interviews Bobby

[@Okkotsu86275]

Raj Kandhari Charlemagne is a dick

[@jesusduarte1988]

Thats what brings in views and money

[@DrizzyBo1]

Personal I agree but, at the very least he didnt lay into Logic like he did Post. Charlamagne is still a racist asshole don't get me fcked up

[@thatonenigeriansformula]

@@Okkotsu86275 he is kinda racist he definitely hates white people

[@alexacosta4684]

Tavis - "You the star though" Logic - "Yeah I know" 😂😂

[@Dwhitelambert]

Alex Acosta he said well you know 😂😂

[@georgeqiao1464]

Logic needs to do a Ted Talk. Been with sir Robert since psychological mixtape

[@MichelleM15]

George Qiao right tho

[@angieecruzz939]

lmfao coulldnt agree more

[@andrewcaldera4435]

other rappers are just mad that logic is an amazing rapper

[@s4elite979]

No Name dude the whole peace, love, and whatever thing is mostly for this album only. After this he's most likely going back to his old style or start rapping about other things but I think this album is it for the whole equality speeches.

[@blaccman1047]

No Name 9:03

[@s4elite979]

HundredGrandFilms listen to his older songs. He doesn't mention being biracial or anything.

[@JONGGG]

No Name It's a topic that still needs to be discussed, so major props to artists like Logic to take that step. What're you saying? That peace, love and harmony isn't worth mentioning and focusing on? Don't get me wrong, I missed them Young Sinatra days but it's important to identify Logic as a person with a message to share instead of it being just about the music.

[@blaccman1047]

+No Name did you just assume my skin color?

[@StellarArt]

Logic is so happy man. I could see it thru the whole video especially w his lil dabs lol. I hope everyone comes to appreciate what he's doing and the message he's trying to spread.

[@carissamarrero3907]

WOW! you just made me feel not crazy. I have been struggling with similar situations with anxiety. not realizing that it was anxiety like you. I'm so happy I just saw this interview! ✌❤😊

[@sofianeg6753]

Secret Flare thats what happen When a man get out of depression, i know his feeling, its the best feeling in Life

[@samuelibarra6812]

Can't believe he's almost had 1 billion streams, so proud of him.

[@bleachplease6294]

Zen he already hit 1 billion right before the release of Everybody!

[@samuelibarra6812]

Even better! I've been a fan since YSII and every time I go back and listen to his mixtapes, I realize that anything is possible.

[@MikeCC]

Zen yeah bro young sinatra was lit

[@SharunoYO]

Thats true

[@samueltrankvill735]

Young sinatra III tho, one of my favourites

[@Camino865]

Damn you heard “Heard Em’ Say” before it even came out?

[@gato0082]

Fe real.... 🙋

[@samlandis4696]

God damn how could you not love logic

[@anthony._l7155]

I mean, there's his new album COADM

[@SebaRNM]

ChumpCena bruh stfu

[@andrews.2980]

ChumpCena That’s one has album tho and every great has had at least one bad album. Supermarket is a soundtrack so that doesn’t even count. Granted COADM was not good but YSIV, BTII, UP, TITS, BT, are all good to great albums, and Everybody is at least decent (I love it but I know a lot of people don’t).

[@SebaRNM]

Andrew S. Everybody was a very needed album for logics career. It was soulful and had amazing instrumentals

[@Shebu]

Life is awesome, stop overthinking it! -LOGIC

[@nfleddy]

Logic has immense wisdom

[@maddycampos1106]

Logic is an amazing person

[@nigelwest1497]

Shout out to Tavis Smiley, not fishing for tabloids or headlines. Just having a conversation

[@shelbyrenay5762]

BOBBY TALKING ABOUT JESS IM IN LOVE WITH HIS HAPPINESS

[@MIRACLECHEEZ]

logic seems so easy to talk to. like it looks like he could talk for hours, and it wouldn't even meaningless. so deep for such a young guy

[@RyanIsDriving]

I have so much respect for logic. the guy truly knows and accepts who he is and teaches what should be.

[@Katanioo]

Peace Love and Positivity

[@kayleet92]

A rapper and a teacher. Logic is such a powerful and inspirational artist

[@accomplice8085]

Logic is a beautiful human being. He is what the world needs as a rap artist. He had Neil Degrasse Tyson on his track. Cmon!

[@MaxxadTV]

Logic is such an inspiration. If I got to collaborate with him what a dream come true that'd be. I really hope he doesn't retire completely after his next album #RattPackTillMyPulseFlat

[@DrNarwhale1]

He isn't. He just ins't making any more albums after "Ultra 85" and he is also moving on to other things besides music. For example a family and movies

[@oWetThings]

lol he won't

[@josephrangel3441]

Maxxad TV bruh I don't think he will....passion got him here and there is no way it will leave him

[@drexelhim]

Maxxad TV 2

[@MaxxadTV]

I get what you mean, but to even just get a feature off him, a single verse would mean everything. But if it doesn't happen I'll still respect him as an idol and inspiration

[@SeaWeasel187]

this was a fantastic interview. Tavis Smiley asked some really good questions ! and logics answers were very introspective. this was awesome :) #rattpack

[@meghanhughes]

this man....... is so intelligent I am SHOOK!!!!

[@BrendaSwagg]

When he explained anxiety and the whole being out of your body experience lol literally described how i feel everyday 😂

[@mariussm1th]

Then you need to change something in your life asap! I can recommend listening to "Reality transurfing", you can find 2 of the books for free on youtube. Hope you find your way out! :)

[@marinayesno5241]

Spitfire Brenda really .. u should be with people who makes u smile n laugh. My advice

[@lukegunners5883]

It's not just his music that draws people to him, it's his ridiculously thoughtful and kind personality and his desire to actually help people. Such an inspiration.

[@ejc112847]

0:17 when your own stats impress yourself, DAB

[@imrizin9417]

ejc112847 aa

[@puppet3]

Why can't other rappers be like Logic ? Logic is the realist

[@sym3367]

logic's sneaker game is hella strong

[@anthonyjohnson6329]

Everybody gotta be like Logic. He's honest, doesn't give a fuck, and knows everybody is equal. Peace,love, and positivity. RATTPACK till i DIE

[@thecuntroller4177]

"Tell me about Anziety" "Ayyyyy"😂😂

[@FeIix_the_Cat]

I can relate to this guy so much with being biracial, also having to deal with depression, and anxiety. I hope in 50 years he will be considered one of the GOAT's!

[@krabjoon9284]

Pulse I don't think it'll take that long,i mean he's LOGIC😎😎

[@chikachuku6289]

i have a new found love for logic. love him

[@bobjohnson6917]

This is incredible

[@slotown]

Bob Johnson the INCREDIBLE true story... no it is everybody...lol

[@casualsweater]

Thus sums up the album : When you hurt another, you hurt one's self and when you help another, you help one's self.

[@CarrilloJackie30]

I can listen to Logic preach for hours. He's so interesting and inspirational.

[@vanillawafer3790]

Rattpack! ✌❤➕

[@hardpointtv817]

SnitchSquad

[@Cassy858]

8:09 it's called being a good person, it's called choosing to do good, it's called having empathy and logic has a lot of empathy and love in his heart

[@MrCromes1]

I love logic bro. Hes one of those people you wish everybody should strive to be like. Shoutouts to me using the word everybody Lol

[@leighrose5291]

Finally a professional interview 🙌

[@Alchemy77]

Logics album everybody was reviewed by the public waaaaaaaaaay too quick. First thing ppl got from the album was Race and politics. If that's all you got from this album then you weren't actually listening. As a fan of hip hop and a fan of music you should at least give the artist the respect of listening to the words they're saying.

[@BiSONmusicofficial]

Legend Totally agree with you. This album is about so much, it takes a few listens to catch all of it. Most people listen to it once and catch very little, but they're quick to judge because that's what the interned does. I think this is one of Logic's best album, and I love that he chose concept over the mainstream style. The speeches on the album get tossed out so quickly and it's a shame because they have so much to say and so much to stand for.

[@Alchemy77]

Wize Salmon exactly man

[@pippen9093]

Legend pisses me off when people hate on it for it being political. HIP HOP WAS MADE TO BE POLITICAL.

[@KilBlackmagic]

Legend The race and politics aren't the reason people don't like it. People don't like it because it's far too repetitive.

[@Alchemy77]

KilBlackmagic the hooks in a song are usually repeated.

[@Myztek26]

I like this cat. He is a very intelligent honest and hard working individual. Much respect to you man.

[@Ph.D..]

Wisdom beyond years... a gift to this generation & world. Boys, girls, men, women...take notes. Love yourself & you'll love others.

[@arturberkovich8200]

Hey... The interview is positive af !!!! Logic is aware of himself, and he knows/does all what he's talking about. How about we all get on that level...!!!

[@Jay-cw5bx]

Logic is evolving every album

[@akbluepeace]

how can you hate logic he is such a role model for today's society

[@caitlinkelly8609]

I'm 17 and suffer so badly from anxiety/panic attacks, depersonalisation and now depression. I'm so glad someone is speaking up about this

[@txic7330]

I'm eating tacos while watching this.

[@sebastiansebastian5270]

Vvid Ohzilez you gonna share

[@jamilcharles9159]

Vvid Ohzilez Taco Bell

[@johnnystir9796]

Tavis is a master interviewer. Logic is awesome. What a great interview. 23:41 is a REAL smile from a person proud of his work.

[@SingSingSING94]

I know he won't read this but I lost my little sister two years ago in a car accident when she was just 19. she was, is and always will be my best friend. she was a big supporter of my music and musical career and after she died I stopped all of it. picking up a guitar or ukulele or even trying to write made me so depressed. after finding this beautiful person via the music world, I am so incredibly inspired. God bless you Bobby!!

[@casualsweater]

This album was made to be listened to as a whole & in order. It is a concept album, where Logic (with the help of Tyson) literally invites you to be "open minded" and then paints the picture of his worldview to you $$$ It's not as political as people are saying. The brilliance of Logic here is that he does justice to the 'american-black-man's-plight' in this hip-hop album, yet mainly uses that struggle as a metaphor for the consciousness, reality & eternity of all men in history (& future) (no Hendrix) (well, I guess yeah, Hendrix included) (Jimi too). Anyways, I feel Logic in this project, sort-of invites you to be the black man if you will. I think he did it in a respectful way, though I'm not qualified to judge that as I am white, I'm not Kobe Bryant as my avi would suggest $$$ Finally, for who ACTUALLY listened, would you agree the point of the album is this? : When you hurt another, you hurt one's self and when you help another, you help one's self.

[@araceligarcia235]

casualsweater I agree

[@ryankim4118]

✌️❤➕ Rattpack where ya at

[@DocBrown3000]

I thank this young man. Much respect.

[@christianirwin7484]

"and and and and and and"- Logic

[@dria6673]

christian irwin I read that when he said that 😂😂😂😂

[@VirtuousOfficial]

5:23

[@JasmineGoodenDisciple]

I can't believe I watched the whole thing

[@GRIMZY]

One of the best Interview's I've seen in a long time Logic is such a Interesting & Inspiring person. Tavis does such a good job with letting logic talk but also listening to what he is actually saying and following up with great question's base on what logic has just said. 2 super cool people

[@bchristine4792]

Damn, Logic be wearing that hoodie everyday!

[@AnimsOnDemand]

B P Gotta promote man lol

[@shaqb6804]

B P , him wearing the same hoody everyday for his own reasons, does tie into what he explained about caring less about other peoples' perception of him.

[@morgan4681]

B P clever

[@kbee8517]

Can we just talk about how great this interviewer is? Asking all the right questions, and sounding so genuinely interested in what Logic has to say.

[@positronicbrain6957]

This is why I love about logic. HE ACTUALLY SPEAKS!

[@slyfox1483]

Wow. Such class. Seriously what a class act. Interviewer as well.

[@TheSpeedEquipment]

Damn this made me a Logic fan. He’s a good dude and doesn’t deserve the cringe label he is usually given.

[@allisyntaylor631]

He speaks so intelligently. You can tell by the way that he speaks, he thinks about what he is going to say. I have been watching videos of him for the past two hours, and I can honestly say that he is so smart, and genuine. He is very inspirational, a true artist.

[@ineed8800GT]

Such a legendary interview! Just what I needed.

[@taylorengels7332]

*PEACE* *LOVE* *POSITIVITY*

[@tommydejosiafilms]

I rarely ever comment... Logic truly lives up to his name. He is a purely rational human being. A true genius in his art and in society. I'm a 34 year old man who has failed many times in life. But when I put on the track, "Man Of The Year" ... I'm a changed person. I pick my head up and I keep moving forward.

[@ambervrenna8471]

I absolutely love him. He's such an awesome person.

[@madelineyockey8390]

He makes me so happy and smile so much!

[@jaea7052]

That smile @ 23:40-47. Logic was geeked. I love it!

[@littlecatypinky6878]

OKAY SERIOUSLY HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO CUTE I LUV LOGIC SO MUCH

[@Okkotsu86275]

I have so much love and respect for this man. ΞVERYBODY met and exceed all of my expectations.

[@skillzsquar3dgaming]

Really needed to hear this this morning. Was at a super low point and this helped me so much. Such an inspiration.

[@elijahl.9487]

I could honestly listen to Logic talk all day (no homo) He is just so humble and inspirational

[@YM-cs9zd]

"no homo" 😂

[@jillianreitzer4415]

This guy is brilliant! New fan for sure !!

[@JohnnyD30]

Might've been the best interview I've ever watched. Every time I hear this man talk my mind opens a little more

[@blarerose3159]

Wow. No words for this. He's such an inspiration. I can listen to him talk all day. Logic you are amazing.

[@nahvus]

So much of this interview sounds like the album.

[@veravik8901]

I just wanna hug him. Really like him!

[@mynameisoptional]

Just. Wow. I really liked Tavis' questions. I need to tune into that show more often

[@Ammut6]

Love this interview! Only 11 minutes in and the interviewer has great questions to ask. The whole thing sends out such positive vibes!

[@rominitta15]

Damn, this is one of the best interviews i've seen, Logic is such a cool person, so down to earth and I love the messege he's giving, everybody should see this video and re-think there're life, he's giving to much truth

[@innitzs]

wow,, im actually in awe of his words

[@Axylifylol]

beautiful soul .. i hope that in future he doesnt lose it !!

[@bhayes3776]

Tavis constructed this interview with class and respect. Logic and Tavis had a great conversation that I feel a lot of people need to listen to AND hear.

[@primitxve8076]

In all honesty dabbing in 2017 is cringy af but Logic one of the few niggas to be able to pull it off 😆

[@no-fy7pv]

logic is the greatest ..... ever

[@vjc6709]

this was such a beautiful interview, that is all that's going through my mind right now. I just love watching interviews with Logic, he really makes us all feel welcome. I hope many people find this interview or any interview with Logic to be inspired to talk about their own mental health issues and struggles in life really.

[@kellywright1489]

This was such a great interviewer ! He made this interview feel like we were on the couch with them.
