It’s an exciting build-up of a studio album and an underground mixtape.
All these samples give No Pressure a mixtape feel. Accepting time and entering a new phase in his life. “ My flaws, I happily greet them.” “ I used to dream about becoming the man I am.” “ Bobby boy ain’t no kid no more.” Honestly, this is what people would like from Drake. To be this self-assured is such a nice way to end your career. He studied and channeled his influences and found a voice to express himself. Reminds me a lot of mixtape Cole and early Kanye. It feels like it was made to be performed in a stadium. Not sure what else Logic has to say, but he hasn’t missed a step. I’m glad Logic decided to go out with such a strong rap album. Logic is opening up about how his son changed what he perceived to be necessary-sounding like a changed man. In a post 4:44 world, I can’t imagine any rapper slacking over a No I.D. I wonder if No I.D.’s presence encouraged him to sharpen the pen. Logic TV, Logic plays Among Us as an impostor for the first time, Logic reacts to his old mixtapes live on twitch. “Open Mic\\Aquarius III”Īh, I know this sample Kendrick used this on one of his early tapes. Victory lap raps over a pristine soul beat. The voice got lighter, but also sounds a bit like Logic. I can’t lie, this second verse sounds like a feature, but I don’t think it is. He’s been blessing our ears with angelic production. No I.D.’s consistency is something to awe at. I love to hear a nice Spike Spiegel line on a major label rap album. coming together for the final album is their first reunion in six years. But there is nothing on “Bobby Tarantino II” that is, without a doubt, a terrible song.So Logic and No I.D. Show all songs by Logic Popular Logic albums Bobby Tarantino III.
“Indica Badu” is an inoffensive but forgettable ode to marijuana that features, you guessed it, Wiz Khalifa. In 2009, Logic unofficially released his first mixtape. “Midnight” feels like a Drake song that Drake didn’t bother to write. But there are a few clunkers, or at least a few things that are a bit too on the nose. The feature that most clearly cements Logic’s braggadocio comes at the end of “Yuck” and is a real life voicemail from Sir Elton John, calling to congratulate the rapper on his multiple Grammy wins and to ask him for a favor.
It’s not likely to change the world, but it feels much more natural that having the star of “The Fault In Our Stars” sing a weepy, auto-tuned verse about cell phone addiction, which actually took place on “Everybody.” The songs are short on what sanctimonious detractors would call “messages,” but the freedom and airy feel of the whole album gives Logic the room to imbue the beats with his personality.Ģ Chainz delivers what is one of the mixtape’s best and most energized verses on “State of Emergency,” rattling o acronyms with enough air to make the audience want him to stick around just a bit longer. Fun is just about all “Bobby Tarantino II” is, a sigh of relief after the clenched- fist seriousness of its predecessor. Rick draws a clear line between “album Logic” and “mixtape Logic” from the word go, and it is the major distinction for anyone who hadn’t heard of the Maryland-based MC before last summer. If the conversation between Rick and Morty (of “Rick & Morty”) on the opening track of Logic’s new mixtape “Bobby Tarantino II” is any indication of his future in the industry, this isn’t something he worries about, and neither should his listeners. He’s the only rapper who could conceivably score an omnipresent megahit based around the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and tweet a picture of himself enthusiastically gearing up to play Dungeons & Dragons in the same year. The rapper’s heart- on-sleeve earnestness and consistent, uplifting messages have made him an unlikely star.
