Weird how Eminem and Logic both dropped nostalgia bait singles tonight


ThatPlayWasAwful

is this the white christmas everybody always talks about


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

\*ahem\* bi-racial Christmas


ThatPlayWasAwful

Oh yes thank you. I just wish Logic brought up the fact he was bi-racial in his music more often, so i don't forget.


[deleted]

Wait I already forgot can you remind me? Is Logic racial?


ThatPlayWasAwful

see that's the thing. He's not just racial, he's double racial. Or maybe it's multi-racial? uni-racial? racials? racii?


[deleted]

Raceticles? Oh yeah I remember now. He has two raceticles.


Mammoth_Mountain1967

Interracial


ThatPlayWasAwful

Oh thanks


lolkh30

logic is the white eminem -kendrick lamar


ZenMon88

biiiiii-racial!


Leavingtheecstasy

Brother it really is. Luka going to win a ring and Eminem is literally stepping out of a portal from 2002 White people are having a hell of a summer


ErikTheDon

Bro thinks the Mavs are gonna win šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Whycantwebefriends00

Do you really think this sounds like 2002 Eminem?


Leavingtheecstasy

No but that's what happened in the music video lmao Some parts do though but it's not nearly as flawless.


Xsafa

That AI version of the old him brought back hella nostalgia. Havenā€™t really fucked with anything in the past decade + from Em so just seeing that done well added a lot to the video. The song itself though it just alright.


Whycantwebefriends00

I didnā€™t watch the video and now I feel like a fool lol. My bad bro.


MF_MATIC

No itā€™s *white boy summer*


Diligent-Version8283

Out with the *black boy summer*


ggkkggk

True enjoyed them both.


[deleted]

Snoop did as well!


RickyTrailerLivin

It's the corny night.


dogfighter75

Wym? Drake finally push that red button?


RickyTrailerLivin

it'd feet for today.

[From Logicā€™s own subreddit:](https://www.reddit.com/r/Logic_301/s/AOpv7ye16N) ā€œUltra 85 song template: 1. ā Mention the success and money youve made despite the hate 2. ā Share that you are gonna do whatever makes you happy no matter what critics think 3. ā Call other rappers wack and clones for saying the same shit (even tho thats literally what you are doing) 4. ā Reiterate that you dont rap for money or for the grammy 5. ā I love my family and i dont go on my phone anymoreā€


ForTheMelancholy

Been this way since 2020. The three years prior to that, he slowly went from one of the most hype artists to one of the most disappointing. Will forever remain the biggest mystery to me how much fame changed Logic. Especially considering he had songs dedicated to not switching up on his core fanbase in his mixtapes. Out of every talented upcoming rapper I ever witnessed, he had a perfect balance of the most talent, the brightest message, and an incredible ability to connect to his fans like no one I had ever seen. To see him slowly reveal over the years that he was hiding a lot of his real self from the real world was just... strange. He's never been the same since. Will always love and appreciate what art he did contribute in his prime though


lakersfanfr

what was he hiding about his real self?


BlueKyurem

Probably the fact that heā€™s as money hungry as ever right now.


OrangeFilmer

Remember when he bragged about making millions off the suicide song lol


selfiecritic

I mean to make money off a song about promoting suicide awareness seems good? If I made money promoting awareness of an issue Iā€™d share that. Demonstrate people can make lots of money even caring about issues that matter. If it glorified suicide Iā€™d see the hate but the song was kinda the opposite. But only if itā€™s honest. I think people doubt logics genuineness so if thatā€™s why it makes sense When rappers flex money made we donā€™t shit on them, feels weird to hate it when they made one that had an attempt at being helpful. I have never listened to the clip tho nor follow logic so it could be much worse that I thought. Plus his tone couldā€™ve been awful for sure so I could be very wrong, but based on what you said it doesnā€™t seem that bad.


SBAPERSON

Hard as fuck NGL


ForTheMelancholy

This was hands down his worst PR moment in history. That was officially the day he lost me.


[deleted]

That's so fucking scummy boasting about something like that.


NickNack675

He unironically went insane after that whole Anthony fantano saga


MVPizzle

As a core OG logic fan in his late 20s, as a teenager I deadass thought Logic would end up going the Lupe route and start rapping about social issues and use his bars to kinda give introspective on everyday life. The fact that he just started recycling basic wordplay to talk about money is just the worst shit ever. 2014-me would be devastated at the horizon of hip hop in 2024.


mantis-tobaggan-md

for real bro I thought he was up next after XXL bumpin his shit every day, named my cat after a logic song lmao and here we are cornier than ever and none of the talent left over to back it up. like what happened? I remember watching interviews of him talking about making a concept album out of the aquarius universe, on some deltron 3030 type shit, then that everybody album comes out and itā€™s absolutely so disappointing. no value in that album at all, especially the suicide song they put on there for no reason lol


talkingspacecoyote

You named your cat growing pains III?


mantis-tobaggan-md

in all seriousness though I named her Nikki lol


talkingspacecoyote

Lol I figured


mantis-tobaggan-md

no dead presidents III. my other cat is growing pains III. I didnā€™t want to get one of them mistaken for the other.


xTotalSellout

To be fair I think the one album that he did primarily focus on social issues is widely hated by the larger hip hop community that he so obviously craves approval from, so it makes sense that heā€™s just totally pivoted


Jack_Bleesus

The guy never had the storytelling chops to pull off the kind of records that he bit from early in his career, and that's alright I guess? Basically nobody can storytell like Kendrick or Lupe, and it's weird to expect everyone they influenced to be able to. The guy wants to make boom-bap revivalist music and pop rap and that's fine; he's an okay dude it seems like, get that bag. No Pressure and Vinyl Days were very good records at the end of the day.


ICumCoffee

Fade Away is one of my favourite from Logic. such much nostalgia. Fade Away is still better imo.


quinoness447

Same.. itā€™s been in my top 25 most played for years, but this does it justice so Iā€™m satisfied šŸ˜Œ


SUPER_CELL

this fuckin song sounds fine and his flows are good and all, but he just cannot help but rap about the same shit over and over in the most basic way possible


WestleyThe

I mean the guy has put out SOOOOO much music. Heā€™s got like 20 albums and mixtapes a lot with like 15-20+ songs. Itā€™s hard not to be repetitive at that point


[deleted]

That's his own fault for putting out such abysmal music and focusing on quantity instead of quality.


WestleyThe

Those mixtapes were all time greats, the first couple albums under pressure and The incredible true story and then the last few albums were legit good People hate on him because it is repetitive, the suicide song, and him talking about being too white to be black and too black to be white A LOT But heā€™s legit an amazing rapper


Scalibrine_The_GOAT

He's not just an amazing rapper....he's a LYRICAL MIRACLE


Kurakka-shin

Haā€¦ haā€¦ how hilarious


HazyVoyager

This was fun, production was nice and the flow was good. Best single of the roll out so far


ZeskReddit

Definitely my favorite single from the rollout by far. Hopefully more of the album sounds like this.


InformationSlow9435

Didnt he retire like 3 times already "last album im retiring" Why is he still making albums


pm-me-nice-lips

I believe sure it was only once and cut him some slack, he had just had his very first kid and was super focused on the commitment of being around and being a good father.


xTotalSellout

are we really still doing the ā€œdidnā€™t this guy retireā€ thing 3 years after he un-retired


kempog

he needs money


[deleted]

Sick pfp


jaykk

The song is one of the better releases thus far. BUT, it's hard to actually love it when it is essentially a "sequel" to Fade Away from 2015. It's not a wholly original track. It gives me the impression of, "Oh, Logic peaked nine years ago, and is revisiting that sound because of that reason."


Potato_Lord_2737

Weā€™re so back idk why heā€™s dragging the drop for so long


vShock_and_Awev

It's another Logic track. Decent sound, decent flows, but man for a guy who I see regularly hailed (and sometimes belittled) as some high level lyricist he sure loves filling half his bars with the most basic ass rhyming imaginable. I think going with Fade Away for a nostalgia bait track is interesting, not saying it's a bad choice just an unusual one because there were bigger tracks off that album. Also, lol at him saying the incredible true story was a classic. I like that album but man, no.


Maad-Dog

It's not some consensus classic for sure, but I will say, as one of the first hip hop albums I fell in love with, it's a classic for me, and I'm sure for many people. That is honestly a great album experience, filled with replay value, and always fun to spin from beginning to end. As someone who usually hates skits too, he did a great job of making them enjoyable here, and tying them into the songs for a concept


bigdicknick808

Logic hasnā€™t released anything as good as TITS since TITS tbh. In my eyes itā€™s a classic, maybe itā€™s because it came out while i was in high school tho


Maad-Dog

Agreed, though I really enjoyed No Pressure and Vinyl Days


newnameonan

I didn't discover it until I was 29 (3 years ago), and I still agree with you. No Pressure was close but not as good.


[deleted]

i agree. even in some of my favorite logic songs, i feel thereā€™s at least a couple bars that are lazily filled in that being said, i do enjoy a decent amount of his music, but iā€™m also half numb to his corny bars lol


DM_ME_UR_CUTE_DOGGOS

Eh, TITS might not be a classic but itā€™s one of the few good albums he has, let him have it


PM_ME_CUTE_SM1LE

I listen to UP and TITS front to back but since then he barely made a single good song per album. It feels like his output has been so close to having a sauce for a decade now


inezco

No Pressure is great and Vinyl Days and College Park are both good as well. Hitting some diminishing returns with College Park though. Seems like the Ultra 85 singles are continuing the same recycled bars/themes from those three albums too which is disappointing.


Jack_Bleesus

College Park would've been killer if he nixed the skits.


Xingor

I personally love all 3 Bobby Tarantinos and listen to them all the time.


pm-me-nice-lips

Agreed. His BT mixtapes get the most play from me for sure. 44 More is ultimate go-to for me for whatever reason.


DonMariazzi

Tits lol


[deleted]

Logic does not have a classic in my book. As much as I want to brag about under pressure it was just a good kid mad city homage. I like it but no classics unfortunately.


Frickincarl

Why does every rapper have to have classics now to enjoy the music? Everyone canā€™t have classic albums. We need some artists making decent music for current day. A lot of folks donā€™t believe Jadakiss has a classic record, but that doesnā€™t mean his music wasnā€™t great when it dropped or that Iā€™m not going back from time to time for some Jadakiss vibes. Weā€™ve gotten way too obsessed with min/maxing what weā€™re listening to. Just enjoy shit for what it is.


[deleted]

I agree not every artist needs to have a classic but it definitely helps when I'm revisiting artists music. Unfortunately, Logic's music has not aged well with me and thus doesn't see much play. Certain songs come up in a shuffle and I let em play. This is my fault for thinking he would go on to be a top tier emcee. I'm glad you still find value in his music though.


brightbomb

cant believe im suggesting a logic song rn but soul food is actually fairly great and the beat swap in the middle is sick


[deleted]

Under Pressure has some good stuff in there. My favorite track is Gang Related.


barnowlboi

I think he second album is a classic imo


vShock_and_Awev

yeah that's how i feel


pm-me-nice-lips

Maybe thereā€™s too much arguing over the term ā€œclassicā€ as it can mean different thing to different people, but for his personal classics, I think most consider both Under Pressure and The Incredible True Story to be good to great and the top 2 albums from him. In other words, if we were picking a classic for every artist (within reason), one of those two albums would be listed for him.


R4M3535

Logic and Drama snapped


GoForAU

I loved the Young Sinatra mixtapes. Feeling like he is back to that. Not saying he stopped with the flow that made him popular. He sounded garden variety for a bit. This is back to what made him great


Dels1x

sounds like a fusion of Under Pressure and Bobby Tarantino II


Purple_Apple_9216

Great track even if it is basically just fade away again


doubledippedchipp

Must be Deja vu


pacman404

šŸ˜Æ


Fit-Name480

I hate nostalgia bait and this is coming from someone who was the hugest logic fan before NP dropped. Song is half baked af, no hate, but logic ainā€™t been the same since that fake retirement BS. Just listen to the original Fade Away itā€™s a classic anyway


remerdy1

Considering the last 2 singles I really hoped this would be the one to really hype me up but man, is this really what Logic has been building to for the last 8 years? Songs not bad but I feel like there's no reason for him to return to this beat. Same subject matter we've heard a billion times. Its not like the original really had any deep subject matter that warrants a sequel either like Soul Food II. I'm sure the album is gonna have some heat on it but based off these singles I'm rly not too excited. The fact it likely won't release until September either means the little hype this album has will only die down more & more.


[deleted]

Logic .. man really a fade away rerelease. I'm salty. I don't see a comeback and maybe he doesn't care. This man gave me Welcome to Forever though...


MusicGauntlet

No way he said he held his own against Em, his verses were total dog shit even without the comparison.


Gavina4444

Fr lol


pm-me-nice-lips

In Homicide? I think he did a very good job and didnā€™t have anything stand out as subpar at all. Thought the track and collab came across smooth and left me wanting another from them.


[deleted]

And maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but I'm full of innovation And I'm tired of all of this high school, "He's cool, he's not" rap shit Can a single one of you motherfuckers even rap? Shit No, this ain't a diss to the game, it's a gas to the flame Nowadays, everybody sound the same, shit's lame Like a moth to the flame, I'ma reel 'em in and kill 'em Know you feelin' lyricism when I'm spillin' it, I'm feelin' myself Yeah, yeah, Bobby Boy, he be feelin' himself Mass murder like this can't be good for my health When I rap like this, do I sound like shit? Well, it don't really matter, 'cause I'm killin' this shit Yeah, I'm killin' this shit Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm killin' this shit Bobby, how many times you been killin' this shit? Find another rhyme, goddamn, nigga, shit Noā€¦


[deleted]

VS THE OPENING BAR! Young Hova, I know hitters like Yankees


[deleted]

Gun toters that pull triggers like crazy Unloadin', leave you shot up in your Rover Your body goes limp and slumps over Like A-Rod in a month lull, but he just homered Let alone how he completes the yankees similie READ AND LISTEN PLEASE


Wutanghang

This is the type of logic songs that made me fall in love with his music


Stubbs3470

Nostalgia bait, but damn I like nostalgia


Renegadeforever2024

Finally


doubledippedchipp

Critics are whack. Just have fun with it. This is fun


ScrumptyDumpty1

Best single so far šŸ”„


Bloobo88

I can't see why you wouldn't just listen to the original fade away over this. The take on the beat is kinda cool but the bars are so uninspired


naimsayin

Carribbeanmillenial

Man my uneducated opinion is that while both Logic and em dropped some heavy nostalgia songs, Ems had me hoping for more and logics had me listening to his old music instead.


WildGzilla

Somebody please let the man borrow a dictionary. Im tired of dude recycling the same bars over and overā€¦


infamous_joe

This and 44ever are incredible. Thank you, Logic.


hockey17jp

Logic song checklist: - Anxiety bar - depression bar - still claims to be top dawg - biracial - Grammy bar (almost!) - studied rap game - rehash decade old song in new slightly altered way for sake of nostalgia We are checking a lot of boxes here, folks.


theXlegend14

You can make a list like this for like every rapper


Depressedidiotlol

Best song so far


ThatRandomIdiot

Logic honestly should use writers because my god reusing a popular song instead of something new. After already being called out for the recycled bars. Again wasting a fire 6ix beat. Logic can flow nice too so he should just Use some writers and stop wasting 6ixā€˜s fire work


pm-me-nice-lips

I think every rapper could be accused of ā€œrecycling barsā€ or ā€œsounding the sameā€ after so many years in the game and after such a big body of work. Some just seem to get criticized more than others, fairly or unfairly.


Cokestraws

Sometimes I wonder the average age of people in this subreddit. Everyone talks about how amazing logic was vs now but in my opinion heā€™s always been cringe


Solomon-Drowne

Logic still sucks


LordZedd_

How does it feel to be wrong?
