T.I. and Logic are going to sell 65-70k first week, Game does 32k

what the fukk is a logic? I'm way out the loop

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

Dude can rap, and he has some great beats on there, but I just can't with Logic.

 

[CarltonJunior]

Y'all really bout to cap and act like Logic ain't put out one of the hottest projects this year along with Gibbs and Q?

Y'all nikkas trippin me out

 

[JustCKing]

I believe this also. The biggest point I make is that now these artists don't even NEED "a HipHop" audience to take HipHop and blow up with it. No one in the community has to cosign this shyt as representing the artform because they totally bypass the community now.

The thrill BEEN gone. People who wouldn't have EVER been anywhere NEAR the culture when it was in the streets and was a voice for the voiceless now DICTATE what it is. shyt is VERY DEEP.

with this weak and tired logic (no pun intended). White folk have been selling while doing Hip Hop since the 80's. It's funny because culture doesn't dictate who buys music, but people on here let the sales dictate the culture as if the music is the end all, be all of the culture.

Thing about Logic is that he appropriates everything that is unique and credible and Kendrick Lamar and presents it in a fashion that young white suburban American can fukk with. He talks about Gaithersburg, MD like its 90's era Compton with the same flows and "good kid" perspectives as K. Dot. Young white people who claim to love Hip Hop love Kendrick, but they can't relate to living in Compton in the 90's around drive by's, daily gunfire, Bloods and Crips etc. But this sorta kinda whiteboy Logic talks about Section 8 housing in white ass safe ass super suburban Montgomery County, Maryland like its on the same level as Compton, one of the early 90's murder capitals of the Western Hemisphere. This makes suburban white "Hip Hop heads" wet in the panties. If suburban Hip Hop fans can be fleeced into thinking the 'burbs have essentially the same struggle as the hood, they feel 100% more at home in Hip Hop culture. Trust me, I know living in suburban Maryland as someone who raised in a real hood in Cali. I kick it in the "projects" in HoCo and MoCo when I'm bored and it's nothing like any real project or hood. If dude was from inner beltway PG or Baltimore City, or shyt, even one of those grimey lil towns on the Eastern Shore, he would get a pass. But Gaithersburg is as a soft as it gets.

L for Game. 32k off a solo album

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

TIP with Sony now? No wonder his shyt banging, they give creative freedom.

i agree with you about the gburg and appropriation to some extent, i will say his album is very good, he telling his own story though and i aint eem really mad

 

[Illuminatos]

Isn't Logic half-black though? Why a'll keep calling him cac?

 

[Mr_X]

... well damn and they say metal is dead and rappers are the new rock stars. Meanwhile Slipknot tops the list with 100K

 

[LunaticVillage415]

It's because he looks hella white. Be real, if you didn't know who he was, you would say he was a whiteboy. But nikkas act like they ain't never meet a half black/half white person who look just like him or even have folks that look like him in your family. Look at Rashida Jones, Wentworth Miller etc. My homie, who ironically is also from Gaithersburg, is also half-black/half-white and looks just as white as Logic. He could pass as his older brother for real.

That new Quik album is fukking great, shut your ass up. He said he's not doing it for the sales anyway, he's doing it for the music itself. Dude is dedicated to and seriously loves his craft, more than any other living rapper I know.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]
