Lil Durk Didn’t Mean To Offend “The Suicide People” With Remake Of Logic’s “1-800-273-8255”

    Chicago rapper Lil Durk has been incredibly active over the last three years — dropping two studio albums and six mixtapes. Still, his core fans have still been pressing him for the third installment of his Signed To The Streets mixtape series — the second of which dropped in the summer of 2014.

    He teased its release last October with Signed To The Streets 2.5, but he gave a more accurate preview of what’s to come on January 11 when he dropped “1 (773) VULTURE,” a more “street” take on Logic’s “1-800-273-8255.” Logic’s song — a suicide-prevention awareness anthem featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid — was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2018 Grammys and has been generally praised for its message and impact.

    Durk’s version offers a starkly different perspective. “It’s gon’ be a homicide, fuck with Durk and they dying today,” he sings on the chorus of the song, using the same melody as the original. After hearing what many have dubbed a “homicide version,” some fans reacted negatively via Twitter.

    Aware of the feedback, Durk took to Twitter to clarify his intentions, noting that it was never his intention to show “disrespect to the suicide people.”

    However, his fans — many of which seem to not be big on Logic — didn’t see any issue with him using the same instrumental to share his version of reality.

    Durk also recently posted an image to Instagram of himself on his phone with the caption, “Texting logic telling him i did the remix for the trenches #1773vulture and i love em.”

      1. Logan Paul got a crazy hairline. dude is balding so baldy that’s why he got that ridiculous hair”style”..

      1. Rap fans these days are social justice warriors who need their gender-neutral safe spaces where reality can’t harm the special snowflakes!

      1. Fuck off you racist piece of shit. Suicide rates follow poverty rates. Whites have the lowest likelyhood of suicide of any race so shut the fuck up.

        1. Japan has a very high number of suicides per population compared to the us, both are nearly the same percentage of people living below the poverty line, explain that one.

          1. If you know about the suicide rate in Japan I think you already know social and cultural reasons for it. Native Americans have the highest poverty rate in the country, they also have the highest suicide rate. Blacks come in second in both categories and whites are last in both categories. The data is self explanatory you fucking retard.

            1. “In 2016, the highest U.S. suicide rate (15.2) was among Whites and the second highest rate (13.5) was among American Indians and Alaska Natives (Figure 5). Much lower and roughly similar rates were found among Asians and Pacific Islanders (6.7), and Black or African Americans (6.1).” Fucking retard.

            2. Looks like i was wrong. Thank god i’m man enough to admit when i’m wrong. I take back my statement.

            3. Where are you getting your stats from you fucking simpleton. They are BACKWARDS…..dumbass

        2. That’s not actually true – 7 of the 10 countries with the highest suicide rates per capita in the world are in post-Soviet countries, where it’s basically just white people.

    1. Both songs are trash, regardless of what message they trying to send, positive or not. Lil Dork is garbage and there’s a reason why he ain’t no superstar. Let’s see how his “career” pans out in the next 5 years…”lil who?”. Just another virgin doing the autotune rap/singing gimmick……yawn.

    2. I’m not a fan of either artist, but Durk is so ignorant I can’t even stand the fact that he has people who respect his “art”. He’s as generic as rappers come these days.

          1. My guess would be because somebody could purposedly misspell r a p e as r e a p and since the former is banned here they wanted to be sure and banned the latter too. I swear they ban the most random words here too, my favorite banned word would be n a g g e r. They also done banned people from posting with certain usernames even when the names themselves contained nothing offensive but simply because they did not like what those usernames were posting.

            1. They should just get rid of the comments section altogether. Then we’d all have to go out and interact in society. Actually, wait, no. Keep it.

    3. I don’t fw logic but I respect what he tried to do with that song. I don’t fw Durk either but the song sounds dope don’t care much for the lyrics
