The whole storyline and how it's constructed in the songs All I can say is: 5-10 years from now, people will look back at this album and put it right next to the all-time hip-hop classics, right there next to "Raising Hell", "The Chronic", "Straight Outta Compton", "Illmatic". … ExpandĪll I can say is: 5-10 years from now, people will look back at this album and put it right next to the all-time hip-hop classics, right there next to "Raising Hell", "The Chronic", "Straight Outta Compton", "Illmatic". All that said, the album flows together well and has a standout song or two but I am not sure that this album really has the replay value as a entire body of work to make it strong enough to be a classic. Also, the constant mentioning of his city or Compton is clearly not something that his creative juices are telling him to do. Drake really has no business fitting into this album other than him simply wanting him on here.
The album also is held together way too often by skits which almost becomes a crutch at times. It is not like his lyrics are inspiring to a grown man. The album definitely has the same flaws that most mainstream rappers have. It is like they are trying to create another great or something.

Some people have done that, OutKast, but you’re doing it your own way,’” he said. "I sat with it and I went, ‘Damn, okay you’re fucking with your voice. I didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, and then I loved it because I sat with it."īut before you send that angry tweet, Logic clarified that after sitting with the album for awhile he grew to appreciate it for the masterful work that it is. I didn’t like having to sit through nine minutes of a song. "I didn’t like it because I wasn’t into Kendrick Lamar doing all his weird voices," he explained. Logic went on to explain that one of the main reasons he didn't like the project was because at the time, he wasn't a fan of the way Kendrick rapped and distorted his voice.
