Even if the hosts of Everyday Struggle — Akademiks and Joe Budden — aren’t full onboard the Logic train, as evidenced by today’s episode, the quiet behemoth has a fan base propelling his latest album, Everybody, to the top. After a week that’s included landing in the cover of Complex with Neil Degrasse Tyson — who appears on the album — it seems Logic’s album is about to come in at #1 on the Billboard 200, according to the publication.
This would knock Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. off the throne. Kung Fu Kenny has held the top spot on the Billboard 200 for three weeks straight, but is expected to slide down to #3 with Logic’s debut and the release of Chris Stapleton’s From a Room: Volume 1.
Logic’s followers, many of whom tweeted images of themselves purchasing as many copies as they could from local retailers, have pushed the album to upwards of 210,000 units sold in its first week. This will be the biggest debut of his career.
His studio debut, 2014’s Under Pressure, landed at #2 on the Top Hip Hop/R&B Chart its first week with 70,000 units. However, it didn’t fare as well in the Billboard 200. That all changed with 2015’s The Incredible True Story debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 and topping the Top Hip Hop/R&B chart with 135,000 in its first week. Both albums have since been certified gold by the RIAA.
Another tremendous achievement is that as of this past January, Logic’s music was streamed over 1.1 billion times on Spotify. That doesn’t include YouTube, SoundCloud, Google Play, Apple Music, or TIDAL (if that’s your thing). So the answer to the smart aleck question of who listens to Logic is a lot of people.
His newest collection of music has inadvertently made him one of the most outspoken rappers in Hip Hop, which isn’t sitting well with everyone. Some have criticized his focus on his biracial ethnicity as slightly overbearing.
But, love or hate Logic, he’s doing crazy numbers.
He recently announced that his next album would be his last. You can read all about that here.
2 dollar$ says the retirement talk stops lol. Glad to see dope LYRICAL music dominating the charts again.
THE BIRACIAL CARD!!!!
I do love people dismissing the biracial shit when they know how harsh that shit can be for those people. If he constantly got shit on for it, it is rightfully so a big part of his music if you want him to “keep it real” and tell his story. That’s the wack shit I hate about hip hop….tell your story, be real….unless I don’t like your story or that you want to tell it. A lot of mixed kids be fucked up in the head over that shit, so him putting out what goes on in his head about it is as relevant as somebody from the hood talking about how they had to struggle to make it out or whatever the case may be.
Real shyt. My brother mixed and he feel like he gotta go extra hard the prove he just as black as everyone else in the family. Being biracial, It’s definitely a trigger for him. Hopefully one day he and logic can learn to accept and love themselves. But it’s not something that can be just pushed to the side especially when you have to live it everyday.
Yeah, I knew a mixed kid when I was young who was so fucked up because of not being able to identify with either race that he started calling himself orange and shit as a race. Lots of biracial kids go through that shit especially when you think about that a lot of times the mom is the one raising these kids even wehn the household isn’t split up, let alone when it is. When it is, those kids be all kinds of fucked up because they don’t know who to identify with when the family they regularly see is all white people or Hispanic or whatever the other race may be besides the black part of them.
Fuck all that. Logic is good, and makes good mustic.
He makes good what???
Watch how quick the review of Logic album lands on here since he doing numbers. But almost a month gone by and still aint shit been said bout Styles P and Talib Kweli ‘The Seven’ joint
Don’t consider that I rap, just consider I’m strapped
And I squeeze at your brain, face, rib and your back
Dog we can keep it brief get straight to the beef
I’m so deep they see the pain in my eyes when I’m sleep – Styles P (The Lox) – The StreetSweeper
Fuck that racist asshole Talib Kweli and fuck you and Styles P for co-signing his bitch ass.
Dude ain’t gonna outsell Kung Fu Kenny right now ijs but thanx for having hiiigh hopes
Lol ol boy bought five….and who still use Cds??
HHDX gonna review Logic’s hip hop album some day soon or have they still got Mary J Blige on repeat?
Looking at his dad, Logic seems to be 25 % black, at the most.
Why does hiphop have so many guests?
Heard of him never gave him a listen. Guess I’ll check out his album on Tidal (yeah that’s my thing lol)
Damn its good to see Logical quality Hip hop winning this year… You see what I did there?.. Support that real an be healthy
?????
I gave it one listen. Didn’t like like. The biracial thing is a major issue for him. It comes through on the album. And his beats/production isn’t that great at all. Maybe it will sound better with the greenery in the air.
LOGIC SUCKS DICK
Stfu man, you’re probably a young thug fan
There’s no such thing as Mixed. You are what your father is!!
Well his dad is black
Kung fu Kenny is gonna taekwondo this queer looking white albino rat and his stupid ass silly weak album…. This nvgga wanna be black sooo bad, he had to do a full album about it just so it sinks it…. He ain’t no n!gga, he a white boy who wishes he had a big d!ck like black n!gas…. Take yo white a55 outta here bruhh…is you lost or summn?? Country music club is THAT WAY
How many of his songs have you listened to?
Nigerian Savage, more like Nigerian dumb ass. So because his parents were different of different races(his father is black), he’s trying to be black? You sound dumb as fuck, plus you might be gay judging another man’s appearance. Who made you the authority on all things black anyway? Sit yo bitch ass down.
