    I don't get how you can deny that Logic is heavily influenced by other artists in 30% of his discography, but he adds something to it that makes it feel original and fresh. That's just my opinion though, but I can see why everyone calls him out for that.

    Drake's the first guy to raise his voice over a hard beat?

    The Travis Scott beat thing, and the Oddisee beat thing, both are legit. The No Tellin' s--- is Jack Reacher 2: Jack Reaching.

    dude the entire project is like Take Care, a mix of hard hip-hop tracks and smooth R&B-esque tracks. but Undeniable is 1000x better

    Logic's better than Drake anyway so he's doing something right.

    It's his inflection and flow. It sounds exactly like most songs from IYRT. I'd argue it's a worse offense than using the same sample for a beat.

    what do you mean? you're in denial of him being heavily influenced on a ton of tracks and sometimes biting (not on UP or t-ts though really)

    First of all I like logic. I'm just being honest. If you can show me any other track where logic sounds specifically like this then I'll shut up. Also it's not as simple as raising your voice. It's the tone it's the "way up phrase" and his cadence. It's a drake thing there's no way around it. Seeing as he himself said "it was on some drake s---" I don't really see why this is much of an argument. I still enjoy his music.
