[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Logic - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Definitely one of the worst rap projects of the year and definitely Logics' worst project.

Logic really doesn't give a shit anymore, this entire album is 6ix sending him a bunch of top-tier beats and Logic just freestyling the first shit that comes up in his mind over them. The entire appeal of the album is supposed to be "watch me rap fast with the same flow as always". Ignoring the absolutely atrocious hooks that people already ridiculed enough on this sub, look at some of these lyrics:

Fuck rap Bustin' like an addict with a semi-automatic Who done had it, and he ready for anybody to buck back Hold up, catch a vibe, ain't no way in hell we leavin' nobody alive Leave a suicide note, fuck that Bobby feelin' villainous, he killin' this I'm comin' for your man and his lady and even the baby I'm feelin' like I'm, chika-chika-chika-chika

"Homicide"

We gon' make it, knock on wood We gon' make it, knock on wood (What?) Used to wish that I could ball Yeah, I used to wish I could Now with millions in the bank My only question is I should (What?) Scared money don't make none, yeah, I'm good Fifty fifty on my wrist, Red Octobers on my feet Yeah, I'm only 29, but I still ain't hit my peak Put a bullet through your sheet, put your body in the earth Like a cleat, like a (What, what?), like a cleat Bobby gon' body the beat, then you know he gon' repeat

"Out of Sight"

He doesn't say anything. It's filler bars into more filler bars. For a fanbase that constantly ridicules mumble rap and praises Logic for his lyrics he really finds a way to say literally nothing for an entire album. Logic just constantly flexes his money and about how he's gonna fuck everyones' girl, which just comes off as laughable since Logic not only said he doesn't care about money but also looks like an indie-game developer.

Anytime Logic publishes a track or a project these days it's met with criticism and Logics' response is always to label everyone as a hater and not give a shit about what they say. My dude published an entire track on YSIV thanking his fans for sticking by him, but the second they don't like something he makes he tells you he doesn't give a fuck and that you're just a hater or hides behind the wack-ass bar in the title track:

And every time you drop a song, they say that it's wack or it's hot And don't give a damn that it came from the heart

Just because music comes from the heart it doesn't mean you're immune to criticism and nobody's allowed to say they dislike it. You're talking about sucking dick to prove you're not homophobic, i don't give a shit if that came from the heart. I'm sure Hitlers' speeches about the Holocaust came from the heart aswell but that doesn't mean he gets a pass.

I'm not saying Logic doesn't have a point on the title track - i think there's a lot of valuable lyrics there since it's definitely one of the albums highlights, but so much of it just comes of as delusional.

I'm aware it's a meme, but god damn the biracial shit is just annoying at this point. If your racial identity is that important to you that's absolutely fine, but say something of actual meaning for christ sake. You're not doing yourself any favors at this point, you're just turning your racial identity into a meme. Either dial it back or say something of actual use. Listen to Loyle-Carner's track "Looking Back" and you'll hear a pretty beautiful and tasteful track about being biracial.

There's still good music on here - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Mama/Show Love, Lost in Translation are all pretty decent tracks. The rest is not even worth listening to.
