His album rightfully got panned by critics who saw that blatant biting of his contemporaries.

There is a pretty well distinguished line from being inspired by your Rap peers and biting. Rappers have been inspired by their contemporaries since the 80's and 90's. Snoop was admittedly influenced by Richie Rich, 415 and Slick Rick. Nas was obviously inspired by Kool G Rap and Rakim. But Nas and Snoop have become some of the most recognizable voices in Hip Hop over their careers because they had their unique voices, flows, charisma, personalities, life experiences and backgrounds shared through rap, unique topics and classic albums and songs letting the world know who they were. They came into their own so much that they easily overshadowed their influences. They weren't trying to recreate their hero's raps and songs lyric for lyric, flow for flow, beat for beat. But this is where Logic fails. Listening to Logic songs, you actually think you were listening to Kendrick, Drake or Cole if you didn't know any better.
Under Pressure is a watered down PG rated
GKMC for white suburban high school kids. Logic raps like he wishes he was Kendrick, J Cole and Drake.
