When an artist claims they’re “retiring,” odds are they aren’t — at least not for long. Case in point, Logic teased his rap retirement in July 2020 with what was supposedly his last album, No Pressure.
But then the Def Jam Recordings artist popped his head up in January with a new project called Planetory Destruction under the Doc D moniker. While Logic didn’t implicitly say he was the sole figure behind the the album, Logic’s fans were convinced Doc D was actually him.
Then earlier this month, he fired off a freestyle called “Tired In Malibu,” which included bars such as, “Retired for a minute/But I guess I’m back man.”
Logic Lethargically Comes Outta Rap Retirement: "I Guess I'm Back...'
Now, Logic has announced a new super duo with legendary producer Madlib called MadGic. On Saturday (April 24), their first single arrived in the form of “Mars Only Pt. 3.” The track finds the 31-year-old rapper going ham over a ’90s-style boom bap beat.
“Logic and Madlib is MadGic, your catalog tragic,” he raps. “Fuck a underground, fuck a pop sound/Made this whole album in a lockdown, Hip Hop is our town/Hairline like Doc Brown but I’m killin’ it.”
Elsewhere in the track, Logic boasts about having a whole album with Madlib à la Freddie Gibbs.
Check it out below.
Lame AF. Copying Freddie Gibbs which is even more pathetic. He’s just gonna rap about being biracial and about his multiracial son and about having millionaire half white black people problems after a short retirement.
So everybody who teams up with someone is copying someone? That is not a really great argument for hip hop. Feel free to dislike Logic but by arguing he is just copying Gibbs doesn’t that mean that Royce is just copying GURU by teaming with Premier? Or Kendrick was copying Snoop or Em by working with Dre?
I think you are better off talking about the content that you dislike from Logic instead of saying that by working with a dope producer rapper A is copying rapper X.
N****, Shut Up.
Duck Sick 🙂
Whoa, settle down. You Logic stans get overly sensitive when someone criticizes your boy lol. Chill out. People can have a difference in opinion. I don’t care for his style of rapping either but I respect him wanting to do something else too. But I don’t like that that he’s working with the same person as everyone else. He needs to be creative and go a different way tho.. I think that’s what dude was trying to say.
Oh I totally agree. I’m not a huge logic fan.. I can take or leave his music. I just disagree that by working with Madlib that he is copying others. I mean rappers and producers have been teaming up for different projects for decades.
Another crybaby upset about their favorite pale savoir being made fun of. Cry me a river.
I get not liking like but pretending that making a group/joint project with Madlib makes him a Freddie Gibbs copier is dumb. I guess Freddie is a MF DOOM copier then
Yep, so STFU too
Hell, how bout every rapper start a duo with a rapper/producer when their career is at a decline/or bored just for shits and giggles. Let’s put Desiigner with Dr Dre. How bout Lil Yatchy with Dame Grease. Maybe DaBaby and Swizz Beatz. And Lil TJay with Timbaland. Bet that’ll all turn out great….right?
My IQ went down reading this dumb af comment. I would argue but I have to reserve the remaining brain cells I have paying attention to your stupid a$$. Leave hip hop alone and save your arguments for your fellow third graders.
Designer in the studio w Dre is gonna be fire, because he won’t let him out the booth until he’s fluent in the English language.
Logic = Trash
Logic = Overrated
Replying to your own comment is corny as hell lol
Not the same guy. Try again. Dumu
Nah, it is. I work on the website. Same IP address. Nice try though.
No its not u simpleton.
Logic. Stay eating holmes! Broke fools with miserable lives stay hatin!
My God, you’re retarded. Lol Thank you for giving me something to laugh at.
Thats a straight up lie. Broke fools with miserable lives are the ones falsely celebrating wack ass shit like this. Everything aint fire my homie, and too many of yall have no clue what makes a rapper dope or not, yall just align yourself with whatever youre told to like little baby sheep. Its not “hate” to think this is a terrible attempt at rapping from a white boy with no rhythm or flow, its the truth. We dont tear down terrible things because we are jealous you nincompoop, we tear them down because they are fucking terrible. Shitty artists love spreading the false idea that any criticism or their work is nothing more than petty jealousy, and shitty fans gobble that trash right up, which only ensures that more terrible music from terrible artists pollute the game. If yall were man enough to call out wack shit when you see it, bs like logic, lil tay tay, teksahi69, migos, and future wouldnt exist. Yall ass kissing bitches are the ones ruining hip hop.
Wow. You’re a grade A hater. I’m not a “white boy”, dork. YOU sound like one though, not like that is an insult. ANYTHING Madlib puts out is official. Zero fucks given. Logic is a biting ass motherfucker. Dude sounds like Drake on one track, Kendrick on the next and so on. Still, this shit goes hard. I GUARANTEE you don’t know shit about Hip-Hop compared to me. Haven’t worked with as many (if any) artists, don’t own the vinyl and straight up haven’t followed the elements period. Shut your nerd ass up. You sound like A mumble rap fan.
Terrible flow from a terrible rapper. Eminem is the only rapper that gets away with having no rhythm whatsoever, he makes up for it with impressive lyrical feats and humor. Bobby just never figured out how to ride a beat or court his bars, he just raps as many words as he can really fast and hopes no one realizes his shits wack.
Yeah, usually I would agree with you. Only on this track, the track with Em and the “Perfect” track he sort of won me over. This shift goes hard AF. Mainly because of Madlib though.
Em was at his best on the Slim Shady album. Royce has always better overall to me.
Let me guess… You’re a white boy and you think… Eminem is the best. Lol
Overall Logic is pretty lame. This track is dope just because of Madlib. I love the one hater on here that can’t just state his opinion and live his life. Dude kept commenting over and over again on some bullshit. LOL. Responding to his own shit. Making racist ass comments. Just state your opinion and get on with the life you obviously don’t have. Someone’s mom’s basement is a boring place with free internet.
Lost respect for madlib after this
This kid flows over the right beats, I like his boom bap style better than when he sneaks in other genres and stuff….but to each his own….I believe this madlib collab is gonna be pretty damn fire.
Logic will be corny forever. I’ll pass on this one. What a waste of production from Madlib. Lupe or Los would be a better fit.
I feel you bruh, but some of his stuff to me
Is good when he’s doing boom bap, but I have to say I feel what you are saying because he will come with a dope album, then come back 6 months later and drop the corny stuff
This was better when it was part of a quasimoto album
My respect for Madlib just skyrocketed. Fucking dumb move.
Logic is dope. Stop hating.
Hate on Logic if you want but this shit is fire…and Madlib is a legend confirmed! ????
Glad you’re back, The game missed you for sure, Hope the family is well, Keep it pushing*
