I wouldn’t mind if he stuck to the breakbeats. Logic continues to remind us that he can do both boom bap and trap. He interpolated AZ’s hook from “Life’s a Bitch.” That’s wild. “ From the new school rappers I’m the illest on the roster,” all the rap brags.
LOGIC YOUNG SINATRA ALBUM ARTWORK MAC
Mac Miller! Lord Finesse sample? I believe so. Yeah, he is sharper than Steve Harvey selling cutlery. I love the horns going as crazy as his flow. The song could’ve ended with Wale's verse but Logic has more to say.
Logic must’ve told him to spazz like it was 2008. If he continued to rap for 10 minutes at this pace and potency I wouldn’t mind. We have to get another go-go record from Wale. The song title is the name of Wale’s third mixtape. “ Hop out the coop and the chicken heads go crazy.” I can’t wait for Wale to tear this to shreds. He's got the Wale feature on the go-go production. It really sounds like Logic had a ball making this album. I don’t know if I’ll sit through the whole thing again but it was heartwarming. “ Grandmaster from the 36 Chambers.” GZA batting last. Everyone delivered a solid-to-strong performance. Cappadonna got all the sound effects in his verse haha. Suddenly, I’m excited to see them at A3C. “ Y'all don’t smile in your pictures you dudes are miserable” got a nice chuckle out of me. Man, RZA sounds like he’s been wanting to rap. Raekwon has one of my favorite voices in rap. Kwon was tagged in! The wordplay is razor-sharp. GHOSTFACE! I can’t remember the last time I heard a seven-minute posse cut. He’s bragging about bringing together the entire Clan together. Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, RZA, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, Jackpot Scotty Wotty, U-God, Masta Killa & GZAĪt the very least, the entire hip-hop community will press play on this song. If you need a crossover hook, he's your man. I can see "One Day" loved and hated in equal measure. I can’t shake the feeling that Big Sean would’ve rapped on this beat if the pack reached him before Logic. was trying to make something for The Streets. A lighter, more poppy production, like if No I.D. Ryan Tedder sounds like Bruno Mars when he was giving Bobby Ray the hits. Logic is very proud of his rap prowess and is coming with the big brags. I'm not in love with this hook, but I’m still vibing. It’s worth noting that he has not uttered a single biracial bar. Also, Logic’s technical skills as a rapper really make it easy to sell these raps and bars. It’s the nostalgic touch that I’m loving. He just did an old Cole ad-lib and is using an old Cole flow. JAY-Z AND LOGIC THE NEW WATCH THE THRONE. He just made a request for Jay to jump on a track. “ All the rappers I came upon I surpassed.” LOGIC CAME TO TALK HIS SHIT. He just shouted out André but it wasn’t the line I wanted. Cole even had a song called “I Get Up.” “ Fuck a mumble, let's make America rap again” hahaha. It’s like he took pieces of The Warm Up and built upon the lyrical and introspective style. Cole’s influence is so strong, but it fits Logic. I might be old and not interested in being preached to about dying one day. I know motivational joints get the fans going, but I enjoy when Logic is just talking that talk. He started the second verse faster than Michael Phelps being chased by a shark. There are some strong bars landing, and over boom-bap beats is where Logic sounds most comfortable. “ I got more verses than the Holy Bible” haha. “ You are watching a master at work” drop. I hope he flips that André line about having more fans than the average man one day. Now, he’s just stunting with all these fans. Man, he might just outsell Lil Wayne if every track keeps this same energy. “Thank You” is long, but the love is real. They are going to be quite excited when they hear themselves on this album. The fire is in his gut and the production is pristine. I’m enjoying how he’s kicking this one off. “ I had to write this over a Nujabes vibe.” I wouldn’t say that’s entirely accurate, but I appreciate the nod to the late producer. “ I won’t ever leave this rap shit, I’m just getting started.” Whoa, whoa. This beat is icebox cold it could go where Omarion’s heart current resides.
LOGIC YOUNG SINATRA ALBUM ARTWORK SERIES
Turning a mixtape series into an album is a smart move. This is the final Young Sinatra album, not the final Logic album. The album appears to pick up where Everybody ended. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. In usual 1-Listen album review fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping.
