No Sweat.

Logic took the road less traveled. Fortunately, his journey didn’t go unnoticed as he unpacks vulnerability and technical skill from his overlooked debut. —B.Dot

    It would have been nice if he got all that recognition they gave to Macklemore…

    Logic will be alright as long as he keeps it organic!

  2. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    1. JefferyDamnHer says:

    2. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      unnoticed by US, ie: RR

      1. cmonhomiewemajor says:

        so then don’t do dumb shit like sucking Ross’ dick, and focus on the artists that are currently major league

        Ross is basically irrelevant now, and you know that

  4. iLLbeYo5to9 says:

    Gang related was fire doe. Uses fast delivery to get noticed but def some skill in those rhymes

  5. Under Pressure dope album I gave it an 4.5/5 when I first heard it then I listen to it some more and I realize this album sounds like GKMC there are songs he bit from GKMC the concept also. So it bump down to 4/5 still a solid effort.

  6. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Number two should’ve been number four.

  7. The Rock says says:

    This joint is fireee

  8. daman says:

    soul food, never enough n the joints with Gambino n Sean are dope

  9. DEF JAM DID NOT PROMOTE HIM PROPERLY BUT I CANT FRONT THIS WAS ONE OF THE DOPEST ALBUMS I HEARD LAST YEAR THAT GANG RELATED TRACK IS STRAIGHT FIRE THATS THE PROBLEM WITH RAP IN TODAYS TIME HE WILL NEVER GET THE SHINE HE DESERVES

  10. polopolo1 says:

    Iunno man I support this fool 100, but his breakfast club interview has me forever stumped,

    He kept going on about his sisters being raped which was odd, and there wasn’t a purpose for it, he never gave a sexual abuse hotline number, he never mentioned if his sister does tours talking to victims.

    It just seems like hell say anything to be accepted he really wants people to see him as black.

  11. Music says:

    huge logic fan and this shit was GARBAGE.’

    Couldn’t find this shit at the store for one, and two I am glad since I already happen to own GKMC at the time by K. Dot, the album Logic failed to copy like he wanted to.

    this guy reaches way too much, like that Nikki record where he tried to sell his addiction to cigarettes as a struggle song lmao what a clown.

    I usually don’t hate, but these two lists you are doing are extremely safe, with albums no one cared about in the first place. As long as someone is getting paid, get your money brother!

    1. DAZ187 says:

      nikki is about his ex gf, he is just comparing his addition to her as an addiction to nicotine. you know nothing

      1. Music says:

        yeah despite the interviews he has done saying Nikki is a metaphor for nicotine? Stop eating paint chips for a day.

  12. ITS ME says:

    Big fan of this album personally. I never got into his mixtapes like that, so this album surprised me when I enjoyed it as much as I did

  13. Miranda Garner says:

    Great album in a very weak year for hip hop LP’s.

  14. Sina Mailer Daemon Djavadkhani says:

    I love the dynamic live instrumentation filling out the sides on this album , coupled with the solid boom bap core in the centre. Love his cohesive storytelling, what an exciting personality. One oft favourite albums of the year, I’ve been listeneing to the the first and last song especially a lot. NOID really flexed his Quincy Jones muscles on this one, taking the simple beats to a sophisticated level.

  15. AshtonGLD says:

    Buried Alive is dope and original. Album was a clean listen. Shout out to No I.D.

  16. mike h says:

    Highly underrated. I enjoyed this. Future leader of the new school if he keeps making albums like this.

  17. LBiggity says:

    Logic raps in an Iggy accent but his speaking voice is Mr.Rogers.
