*gives Logic a 6/10*

im a huge Kendrick fan, i literally just discovered Logic like last week. i hear no Kendrick at all. not in the instrumental, not in his lyrics, not in his theme, not in his flow. i get that maybe theres a Kendrick influence, but for the most part Logic sounds pretty original to me.

[MRAMAZING]

Wasn't really a Logic Fan going into this but after a few listens this album definitely deserves a 7/10 or 8/10.

[sickmondo]

Remember when we said Logic sounded original and we loved his projects? What a time to be alive...

[TheNBAALLTHEWAY]

I get the different sounds and styles but
Under Pressure: 6/10
Lil Boat: 7/10
There's something wrong here

[spamwithrice]

Personally I didn't hear Kendrick or anybody else...and Kendrick is my favorite. I thought this was Album was at least an 8, and Logic sounded like Logic.

[stijndepoorter]

What the hell??
Logic - Under Pressure 6/10
Mac Miller WMWTSO 6/10
J Cole Forest Hills Drive 6/10

Best this is just bad... These albums were awesome and lyrical amazing!

[wasteman]

Cmon man I know it's your opinion but you gave Lil yacht's album a higher rating than this..

[jgwentworth]

I completely disagree, this album was a strong 9/10 for me. I loved all of the beats and I thought the Intro was one of the best tracks because it is very emotional and gets me through the day honestly. His lyrical content is much different than most rappers, which I love. Even if he does go mainstream with it, like on Bounce and Never Enough it still does not sound like anything on mainstream radio, it still sounds fresh and different. Logic is perfect at mastering mainstream elements and combining them with a little extra lyricism and story-telling that is better than most artists. All of the beats were fantastic in my opinion and fit Logic's voice, delivery, and flow perfectly. And the fact that he can do regular time, double time, and even triple time rapping is impressive. He switches up different flows on songs (which is hardly done anymore in mainstream accessible hip-hop) and he is just nice, respectful, and relatable MC overall. He is amazing towards his fans and really makes an effort to support them and show them love and that gains my highest respects because you just don't see that anymore. Amazing album. Best hip-hop from this year in my opinion.

This is the one classic in Logic’s discography.

Songs like Soul Food, Nikki, Under Pressure, and Alright are fire.

8/10

Edit: In hindsight, I used the word classic too lightly but it’s still a good album

[theneedledrop]

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! I'M SORRY IF WE DISAGREE ON HOW "CLASSIC" THIS ALBUM IS. I JUST DON'T HEAR IT, HONESTLY. I HEAR A LOT OF POTENTIAL, THOUGH. NOT HATING ON LOGIC IN ANY WAY. I THINK HE'S A SOLID RAPPER, AND I SEE WHY YOU LIKE HIM. I'M JUST NOT GOING GAGA. THAT'S ALL.

[berleezysbloodcells]

I can respect your opinion of not being the biggest fan of his music but you need to stop comparing him to Kendrick so much…

[rulechanga]

I have mad respect for you Fantano, but I have to disagree with this review. Logic is simply trying to bring back that old school swag of hip hop. Nothing too clubby, just simple, down-to-earth intuitive bars. I'll admit there are a few tracks that sound similar to other artists' songs, but logic has taken inspiration from so many talented, diverse emcees (both new and old) and has attempted to craft his own sort of "new-school, old-style" persona - like the Frank Sinatra of rap music, hence his alter-ego. He's one of those guys who just reeks of class. But again, all my opinion. And as usual I respect yours, well done.

[lukejamesbgn]

It's always interesting to hear different opinions on albums. Personally, I think this album is about a 9/10 and a legit contender for hip-hop album of the year.

[vincent]

Im here after the release of COADM, he was pretty good once

[SThaMogul]

This album is very above average. The Kendrick comparisons are legit, but again he has his own lane. You also failed with the "why is there random robotic voices". It was by design from Tribe Midnight Marauders album. We gotta give this a push rather bashing. Logic is legit.

[ienjino]

From under pressure to no pressure. I feel like this new album will be insane

Edit: I was right

[conserva-chan]

Gang Related is one of the best hip hop songs of the mid 10s.
