Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, better known as the Logic to fast rap enthusiasts everywhere, recently popped up on an episode of Dan Harmon’s “Harmontown” podcast and explained what the title of his forthcoming album AfricAryaN means. Growing up as a biracial male, he’s experienced first-hand the discrimination and stereotyping that often comes along with it.
“Scientifically proven, the first man and woman [are] from Africa, and over time, culturally evolving into a lighter and lighter and much more fairer skin,” he said. “So the album is going to be called ‘AfricAryaN.’ And it’s about me being black and white and seeing life from two sides.”

He went on to say, “It’s about me being black and white, and seeing life from two sides, and about that cultural evolution and how you can go from the darkest of skin to the lightest of skin,” but apparently failed to grasp “cultural evolution” has very little to do with skin complexion. Twitter, naturally, had a field day with this. Below are a few reactions Noisey’s original article on Logic generated.
Logic’s last album, Bobby Tarantino, was released back in July of this year.
AfricAryaN is expected to arrive sometime in early 2017, as Logic told HipHopDX on Twitter.
Can’t wait for this. His last album (incredible true story) was dope af. He’s better than half of the rappers out like, say, lil yachty and shit.
black people being sensitive, what a surprise. the same black people who wanna shout about that “original man” shit will also flip the fuck out if you remind them that if they are the original, then pale skinned people are just more evolved africans.
A racist who doesn’t understand evolution. What a surprise.
mad cuz bad 🙂
honestly i dont believe that this is still the same Logic as in the beginning. The last album, Bobby Tarantino was some fake crap and look at his name: Sir Robert Bryson Hall II… II = 2nd… and btw does that dude in the pic look as he would have just a single piece of african blood inside??? dude is a fake ass church nigga imo
ay… shut the fuck up 🙂
You obviously don’t know who he really is. A clear example of judgment of a book by its cover
no really he is right. You are the most ignorant person I have ever heard. you don’t even deserve to listen to Logic lmao
logic is the best what do you mean?
wait, what? why aer people making fun of him? i don’t get it. becuase he used the phrase cultural evolution in reference to the album title? isn’t that.. i don’t know.. a bit literal of people?
