Logic’s No Pressure does what all retirement albums should aspire to accomplish: conclude a rapper’s career on a high note. Keeper.įinal (First Listen) Thoughts On Logic’ s No Pressure “ I’m not a kid anymore.” “ Hotels sucks and the internet is shitty.” You know, with every song, Logic makes a pretty good case for retiring. Reminds me a bit of what Eminem would sound like if he weren’t so hellbent on being a Rap God. Logic is describing his day-to-day routine. Love that Logic be at the crib playing Pac Div. “DadBod” is a rapper with nothing to prove. He’s going out honest, soulful, and stress-free. Some safe sample choices that are fail-proof, but the rapping is some of Logic’s strongest in recent years. So far, nine tracks in, and not a song that I dislike. Nods to the animes he watched during the making of the album at the end. Hahaha, I love that he said the song had to end because he ran out of studio time. This is as sleek as a candy-coated Cadillac. Oh, he threw in a sample of Pimp C’s “Knockin Doorz Down” too. This one is Badu’s “Didn’t Cha Know.” So I guess him texting her a few songs ago was a foreshadow. Was that Juicy J!? I loved hearing the Nujabes nod. The second verse flow switch reminds me of Dot.

“ I started from the bottom now my neighborhood gated.” Reminds me of a Mac Miller record during the GO:OD AM era. Okay, something with a more contemporary bounce. No Pressure is living up to its name. “Soul Food II” is a keeper. Happy to hear that Logic in a great headspace. A rapper’s self-esteem makes a difference. The confidence has him sounding so comfortable.

The kind of honest, gut-spilling, diary entry lyricism that made him a favorite. Not missing a step, but the overall message, from song to song, hasn’t changed. My primary gripe with No Pressure thus far is the length of the records. Logic is opening up about how his son changed what he perceived to be necessary-sounding like a changed man. In a post 4:44 world, I can’t imagine any rapper slacking over a No I.D. I wonder if No I.D.’s presence encouraged him to sharpen the pen. Ah, I know this sample Kendrick used this on one of his early tapes.
