#Logic mixtapes monkey plus#

This only really becomes a problem when the artist Logic is emulating is trash. He takes elements of Kendricks music and adapts them and furthers them more. As a student of the game, he watches artists from afar like Kendrick Lamar. Now that he is making full-length albums that have mainstream success, he wants to sound like what is popular right now. Even back during his Young Sinatra days most of his beats were directly taken from other artists. Yes, it would be great to see Logic push the boundaries of Hip-Hop with his music but that is not who he is. Honestly, for me, this is a good and a bad thing. You can also expect him to bite other rappers. Now that his fans are so committed to his work in the mainstream you can always expect to hear him make songs like вЂњEverydayвЂќ. Overall this project showed me that Logic can continue to make quality tracks but it also showed me he will always have baggage with him. If Logic experimented with a dual threat sound like this on every track I might have given this project a really high grade. I love this contrast of boom bap and trap. By keeping the bell sound it keeps the track grounded. He strips away the snare and keeps the bell riff. This glitzy trap infused, rapid-fire set of high hats take over this section. He slows it down and lets a very different sounding base that is darker and sputtery set the tone. For the chorus, Logic does a cool switch from this older style to his new trap-inspired beats. It appears 4 times per loop and sounds mostly like a wave crashing but choppier. Also, there is this sweet sound that works as a meter. From the classic 4Г—4 tempo to the way the snare takes over the listenerвЂ™s ear and dances along with this really smooth and trance-inducing bell sounding riff. The beat contains a great boom bap style. They say they want the old me, they want the Young Sinatra backвЂќ The deeper and deeper I go, it gets darker On tour, I have more sex in the city than Sarah Jessica Parker Pass the Mary Jane like IвЂ™m runninвЂ™ a train with Peter Parker I could murder your whole album with a 30-second snippet вЂњThe Young Sinatra spit it, rewind it, and rip it The lyrics have many memorable pop culture similes and a range of great flows. In ways he has but there is a reason fans beg him to bring back that Young Sinatra flow. This song shows logic talking about his past and how he feels like he surpassed his old style. Although this new sound is nice, I had to pick one of his throwbacks to the Young Sinatra sound for my favorite track on this mixtape. You can tell he has been working on this sound for a while now. He changes his vocal tone to a more anxious and confrontational style to fit the beats and you see him change up his flow much more frequently and much more smoothly than on his previous trap tracks. вЂњYuckвЂќ, вЂњState of EmergencyвЂќ and вЂњ44 MoreвЂќ show LogicвЂ™s progression with the style. On Bobby 2 we see LogicвЂ™s trap instrumentals taking a much darker tone instead of a more glitzy style. Also on the first Bobby Tarantino, he was very choppy when trying to make trap music.

Another plus on this project is LogicвЂ™s singing is way better than before. With songs like вЂњIndica BaduвЂќ and вЂњWarm it upвЂќ we see the chill side of Logic, we havenвЂ™t seen in a long time. He still shows blatant signs of biting other artists on вЂњWizard of OzвЂќ/вЂњContraвЂќ and creates one of his most cheesy songs to date with вЂњEverydayвЂќ, but he makes up for this with his old mixtape style creeping onto this thing. Which is why it is no surprise that Bobby Tarantino 2 is more on par with the rest of his discography. Logic has proven to be a very consistent artist in the past. Things Climaxed in a horrible fashion on his most recent album Everybody. Although The Incredible True Story had some solid tracks, you could definitely start to see a major decline in his craft throughout Bobby Tarantino. After Logic started to gain more success people started to feel that he had changed.

Once Logic dropped his debut album Under Pressure things really started to take off. Within the next 3 years, he would finish one of hip-hopвЂ™s most famous mixtape trilogies Young Sinatra and feature on the yearly XXL Freshman list. After releasing his first mixtape in 2010 Young Broke & Infamous to critical acclaim, he struck while the iron was hot. Logic started his career very persistently. Quintin and I have been following Logic since very early in his career. Not only is Quintin the biggest Logic fan I know, he also works as a staff writer for The Leader. Not only will I be reviewing LogicвЂ™s new mixtape Bobby Tarantino 2, joining me in this review is none other than Quintin James.
