By about halfway of his second verse, you’ll be satisfied with what you heard unfortunately, he keeps going, which means someone is going to have to snatch the mic from that n***a so we can get to song number ten already! (Sheesh)
Logic young sinatra 1 mixtape full#
I love how our hero holds absolutely nothing back lyrically for the full duration of this song, practically touching on everything from his uninformed critics, to his approach to laying down tracks, to the love he’s been getting from his peers in the music industry. Thankfully, Logic holds his own on the track, showcasing his uncanny ability to send out lyrical body blows and fiddle with some of the most complicated flows known to man. “YSIV,” a song that is named after the title of this album, is a flip on Nas and AZ’s “Life Is A Bitch” from back in the day. I am curious to know if Logic blacked out when he laid down his verses to this song. Yep, that is exactly how I and the unsunken Kanye would’ve attacked the instrumental, too! Logic absolutely tears the instrumental a new one, aggressively dropping rhymes about living life secluded, fighting through adversity and living out his dreams. On it, listeners are treated to yet another Kanye-like instrumental that certainly has a lot going on. On “The Return,” he said to himself, “F**k all that pop tart s**t,” because he dropped perhaps his second toughest record this year with this one (“44 More” was his toughest). Logic dropped a lot of commercial s**t in 2018, and that is OK, because he’s a pretty decent “Insert Here” rapper when he wants to be. I absolutely love the song’s feel good vibes, and the flows that Logic utilizes are beyond breath-taking. Where the song deviates is in it’s lyrical content, as Logic touches on things like his relationship with his verbally abusive father, humility, and his checkered childhood on his verses. I may be a little biased when it comes to putting “The Glorious Five” in my top 5, but I f**k with it hard because I was a major Kanye West fan back in the day, and this s**t reminds me of some classic Kanye! Everything from this song’s soulful beat to its infectious hook is classic Louis Vuitton don to me. Logic spits like he has a few more seconds to live, so he’s trying to get out all of his thoughts to his villain as the zapper gets closer and closer to his body. Not only does he aggressively take aim at his competition on his verses, but he also hurls out some pretty impressive punchlines centered around making it to the top of rap’s Mount Rushmore and never wanting to get off. In “Everybody Dies,” he lets out some pent up frustration from all the convincing he has had to do to all the rap critics these last couple of years on it.
Logic is one of those dudes in the game that is on a mission to prove his worth to rap fans everywhere. The beat attached to this song was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wu-Tang has officially given Logic that 90’s stamp of approval he’s been coveting all these years. I strongly advise you to listen to this joint if you can. I will say this, though: The bars that you get from literally every guy featured on this song gets an A+ from me, the overall feel of the track is on some classic 90’s s**t that I love, and Logic fits in rather nicely with all the other 98 people that have a rap verse. So here’s the deal: This song is eight minutes long and features all 87 members of the Wu-Tang Clan, so realistically, it will be impossible for me to cover all of it in this review. With Young Sinatra IV, he looks to continue his rise to the top, but he wants to do it by dabbling in a generation of rap that can surely get him even more clout if he succeeds in it. He has been just as consistent as any other MC in the game, doing a great job of dropping commercial hits, kill-a-rapper hits and everything in-between. Whether you like it or not, Logic is in the top tier category of rappers.
