Joe Budden, an outspoken hip-hop personality, has recently joined the growing chorus of critics lambasting a live performance by rapper Logic. During the set, Logic performed an acoustic rendition of the legendary song “Today Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube, but Budden, along with many others, was unimpressed with the melodic approach the rapper took. Budden’s criticisms were harsh and direct, as he expressed his desire for Logic to retire from the microphone for good.
“I’m begging you, Logic, pleading with you,” Budden implored. “Please join me in retirement. Be allergic to microphones. Promise your fans nothing. Don’t go to the studio ever again. You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”
Budden‘s frustration with Logic’s performance was palpable, and he didn’t hold back in expressing his opinion. He even took issue with Logic‘s usage of the N-word in the song, stating that he was offended by it.
“Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second,” Budden said. “Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”
Budden’s distaste for Logic’s rendition of the classic hit is not a new development. His feud with the Young Sinatra rapper dates back to 2017 when Logic released his album “Everybody.” Budden, along with other hip-hop critics, was unimpressed with the project and made his feelings known on his popular podcast.
Despite the backlash he’s received, Logic has remained undeterred in his music career. He’s continued to release new music and perform live, even as his critics pile on. Some fans and fellow musicians have come to his defense, pointing out his positive impact on the industry and his dedication to his craft.
However, Budden is not alone in his criticisms of Logic. Other notable hip-hop figures, including Charlamagne Tha God and Akademiks, have also expressed their disappointment with the rapper’s recent work. The criticisms have sparked a debate within the industry about what constitutes “good” music and who gets to make that determination.
While opinions on Logic‘s music may be divided, there’s no denying the impact he’s had on the industry. He’s sold millions of records, won awards, and has a loyal fan base that continues to support him. Whether or not he chooses to retire from music remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Logic is not backing down in the face of criticism.
In the end, the ongoing debate about Logic’s music raises important questions about art and expression. Who gets to decide what is “good” or “bad” music? Is it the critics, the fans, or the artists themselves? And how do we reconcile the often-conflicting opinions of these different groups?
Ultimately, the answer may be that there is no definitive answer. Music, like all forms of art, is subjective and open to interpretation. While some may find Logic‘s music to be lacking, others may appreciate his unique style and message. As the debate continues, one thing is certain: the world of hip-hop will continue to evolve and change, with or without Logic at the forefront.
