    I don't see how you can deny "I Am the Greatest" being more than just 'influence.' Like I said, I can see why someone would like it and it's not horrible. This is just the same issue I run into with Travis Scott stans is that they refuse to admit he's ever bit anything. I just hate that people keep being stubborn instead of conceding to reality. There's nothing wrong with liking Logic or Travis, just stop trying to paint them as something they're not.

    Nah, Antidote is definitely jacking a style straight up. I actually like that song, no lie, but it's very blatantly hopping onto Rae Sremm's sound (he even refs No Type, so he probably knows it too. Doesn't mean it isn't jacking).

    Not denying that. I think it's a little unfair that Logic doesn't get the "yeah, but..." treatment, but other artists do. If he's "biting", I'd consider it a d--- good attempt at approaching other peoples sound his own way.

    I really like logic but he himself admitted in the hard knocks interview that I am the greatest is on some drake s---. Nothing wrong with admitting it bro.

    I explicitly said i didn't know for sure I'm just going off of what bc said, and that's just one song. I was just arguing that straight up recreating a beat is lamer than sounding like someone. I can f--- with s--- like antidote because it's taking an artists work in a new direction and even though i suppose that is biting, it's done in a manner in which i don't find deplorable.

    Again, influence, not biting imo

    Songs where Logic is biting Drake:







    IATG is different

    I see the Odisee similarity, but the No Tellin' similarity is a real f---ing reach.

    Still don't see it. He's just raising his voice over a hard beat.

    Nah fam. Logic wrote to Backyard beat by Travis and loved it so much he decided to put his own twist on it. I like stainless way better but he basically jacked Travis's beat.

    Examples of Logic biting and HEAVILY influenced by Drake is the entire Young Sinatra: Undeniable tape. it's like Logic's Take Care, but better

    "Way up" in that tone is a drake thing.

    Same vocal inflection. It sounds like and IYRTITL flow.

    Logic himself admitted it was on some drake s---. It's just what it is.

    Lol. Undeniable doesn't sound that much like take care outside of numbers and set the tone (over a lord knows beat). He's always been influenced by drake I don't have a problem with it. But he masks his influences less these days.
