Nov 22, 2015 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).
Nov 22, 2015 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.
Nov 22, 2015 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.
Nov 22, 2015 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.
Nov 22, 2015 That f---ing face when luke is the voice of reason when regarding looking at logic critically
Nov 22, 2015 Dude...come on. Fine For Now (Grizzly Bear) aka the original sample Tangible Dream (Oddisee) I Am the Greatest (Logic) No Tellin' (Drake)
Nov 22, 2015 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.
Nov 22, 2015 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
Nov 22, 2015 "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.
Nov 22, 2015 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.
