Old habits die hard and apparently Logic just can’t quit Hip Hop. The previously “retired” rapper returned with a surprise single called “Tired In Malibu” on Thursday (April 8), officially bringing his retirement to an end.
The single art features a photo of himself with his young son as they lay back on an outdoor couch. Toward the end of the track, Logic confirms his rap resurrection with the line, “Retired for a minute/But I guess I’m back man,” a strong indication there’s more on the horizon.
But did Logic ever really retire? Last September, the Def Jam Recordings artist dropped TwitchTape Vol. 1, a beat-tape that featured samples including Roy Ayres’ ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ and ‘Fo’TheKids’ by Ahwlee.
Then in January, he shared an Instagram post announcing a new project by Doc D (or Doctor Destruction), which was believed to be Logic’s alter ego.
Boasting MF DOOM-style skits and audio bytes from Pulp Fiction, the 17-track album featured Ghostface Killah, Del The Funky Homosapien, Buddy, TDE’s Punch, Tony Tone, LIKE and J Mars, among others.
“I met this cat @docdmusic 3 years ago in Chicago,” he claimed on January 14. “Now he claims to be from the year 2097 so he must have borrowed doc brown’s Delorean lol. However on that day he handed me a flash drive with music like many before him.
Logic Didn't Retire — It Seems He's Just Reinvented Himself As Doc D With 'Planetory Destruction' Album
“But this was special, and so true to the roots of Hip Hop I had him keep sending more over the years. And once I’d heard enough I decided to sign him. Now I don’t know how he convinced me to executive produce his entire album but I’m glad I did.”
Go Back To Retirement. We don’t need you rapping about being biracial for another whole album again.
No bro this time he’ll be rapping about his son’s biracial life until he gets old enough to rap about his own biracial life!
But wouldn’t that make him tri-racial or multiracial then lol.
But “woke” rappers can spend entire albums rapping about being black and get applauded for it. I don’t even like Logic’s music that much but it’s hilarious how hypocritical some of criticisms that are aimed at him are.
Name these rappers you speak of…
And the rest is silence……..
This shit is dope!
This dude has one of the most simplistic lazy writing styles in rap bro. On everything we don’t need Logic fr fr. There’s too many other good rappers for you to do be doing this bro. Your production is great and you’re a good business person so you should stick to that..
Logic outraps your favorite modern day rapper
That’s not hard to do. Most modern day cRappers are mentally retarded anyways…I’ve heard better sounds coming from the Taco Bell bathroom on a Friday than theses dude ever do on the mic.
D’oh!
Is anyone surprised? No rapper who has ever announced retirement has stayed retired – Too $hort, Jay-Z, The Game, Lupe etc.
How many times is he going to say everybody and biracial?
Y’all on some shit LMAO that’s not even an official logic YouTube channel. Shit sounds like some leaked unfinished song.
He actually sounds good on the few features I heard him do for Juicy J. The only problem is he looks like a damn college professor. Millennials made this guy popular.
No, he looks like a middle schooler who still gets bullied by the big kids in elementary school.
Guess I’ll join to …
