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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
