Logic - Aquarius III: REVIEW

What the hell's up y'all?! This ya boy Denzel back in the house after a long absence. Life jus' been throwin' them curve balls at a brotha ya know? But we aight, still down wit' the finest queen ever, Emma herself, an' we still tight as hell. Let's jump into this!!


Logic done gone an' dropped an EP he callin' Aquarius III, word! Now y'all remember I rated son's album in my Top Ten List for '24, an' I'm hopin' he bring the fire here. Son gets mad ill when he wants, on me!! This thing tiny, only 14 minutes. But let's see if it wack or fire.

This is the Way - This startin' off aight. The beat's aight, it's got kick to it. The narrator thingy's dope.

Damn. This don't sound like Logic. Shit soundin' like son bitin' Mac Miller's style, word. Now I KNOW this cat can do betta. He ain't gotta sound like no other rapper out here. This hook misplaced too....it kinda too pop for this sorta track. This ain't a BAD song but son soundin' so much like Mac Miller I ain't able to take this shit seriously. Word.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 6/10

French Dispatch - Ohh!! This the Logic I been hopin' for off this! Son spittin' here like his own self!! Damn!! Son jus' cooked that while first verse, word!! I love this thing where he talkin' bout his imaginary friend. Shit low-key deep y'all. This thing dope.

Beats - 8/10
Lyrics - 8/10

16/20

Not a Game ft. Lucy Rose - I don't know who this Lucy Rose chick is but I'm hopin' she aight. Logic's spittin' pretty aight again, an' the beat nice. His flow started off kinda shaky but then he jus' flowin' like heck. Love the Dilla shout-out too, word. Nice beat change to that hook. The rest of this wit Lucy Rose too poppy an' shouldn't have been given so much dang time. It's aight but I ain't gonna be returnin' jus' for Logic's verse cause that sangin' lady mad unnecessary. Shit was like tryna mix Chappell Roan wit' Mobb Deep - ain't workin' out.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 7/10

14/20

Universe - We startin' off wit' a lil skit. Oh gosh.... son's on his sangin' tip again. Finally he back to rappin' an' it's pretty dope. This beat soundin' nostalgic kinda. It kinda like Money Trees but ain't got the stayin' power. Oh now they jus' cut the verse on in the middle?? Who the hell thought that was a good idea, b?? Son was flowin' for a sec there.

Beats - 7/10
Lyrics - 7/10

14/20

Kinda wanna cut points for cuttin' the song off but we'll let it slide.

A Message From My Younger Self - This a skit wit' Logic talkin' bout hisself an his journey. It's from 2011, an' the ish pretty inspirational, kinda a nice note to end on. I like this outro.

Aight y'all. Let's tally this whole thing up:

57/80
71%

It's an aight project all in all. I ain't mad at it, it jus' coulda been....better in places. One thing I'm gonna say - the brotha's got his skits right FINALLY. I know a helluva lotta people were out there bitchin' cause the skits on his last album were too long, that ain't an issue here. Son jus' did a lil five second skit here an' there an' went right to music. That's perfect, word. Best track outta all this gonna be the French Dispatch one, son was goin' lyrical like crazy on there an' the beat's dope. The intro is gonna be the worst track cause that shit....yo, I dunno what my guy was tryna do there, but that moanin' on the mic like he drunk off sumthin' ain't it. Save that for Lil Peep an' them emo rap kids. Summa the mixin' here off too, word. I dunno what son's producer be doin', but he reminds me of me - me at 12.

Other than that an' the Chappell Roan duplicate on Not a Game, this tape aight. If you don't vibe wit' Logic, it ain't gonna make you a fan, but it's worth one listen at least.
