Never been to a comic-con so I was wondering would I need to buy the vip pass to get an autograph and meet logic? Or would the normal comic-con ticket suffice. I read online where u need to buy an autograph ticket once you’re in so if anyone could help that would be much appreciated.
ive heard "as i am" "heard em say" "amen" what am i missin?
For Vinyl so far I have these but I’m trying to remember what projects that were released officially on vinyl. I’m currently on the hunt for the ones I know that are official like Supermarket (Hoping for a restock),Regular No Pressure cover,and Vinyl days. Can someone help me out
was going through Logic threads and relistened to Bobby cus of someone talkin but the biracial bar and then it went to Lost in Translation and my god, this is such an amazing song that somehow got lost. From the first parts beats and bars to the second part, it’s truly beautiful. Don’t forget the actually beautiful beat and japanese speaking at the end of the song that truly ties it together to create such an underrated song because i have yet to hear about this song since 2019 i swear. What are other songs yall would say were “lost in translation”??
man this album art is so dope. Hot take, but I think BT3 is better than BT2 but both don't got a chance against BT
for example clone wars III: the beat is insane, the flow is insane, vibes are impeccable but he put a two minute mcdonald's order skit after the actual song and it kills and ruins the whole vibe.
it's great when you first listen to the album but after some time i just want to listen to the song itself and not a mcdonald's order. just why?
If you decide to put your cd into your computer's disk drive, you might notice that the cd Metadata displays the original cover of ultra 85 instead of the new one. (And for anyone who doesn't have a computer (or their car not having a disk drive) Logic's cd releases tend to have the album cover in their Metadata.)
I ordered a replacement and returned the old one got my new one in today and it still doesn’t work I’m guessing that my car just hates ultra 85🥲

Seems pretty weird that he’s not even mentioned it, was expecting a vinyl or some stuff on logics site at minimum. Never mind a deluxe release or whatever.
I know there was a first party picture disc but hardly cuts it.
Huge missed opportunity here!
Absolutely beautiful last song and funny final skit, I waited until I got the cd to finish the last three songs it’s amazing to finally see the end of this incredible storyline and I can’t wait to see what logic cooks up next. see you on the next one, cowboy ✌️.
So ahead of its time shit would pop now in 2024 with some underground rapper
I just got mine in today and when I tried using it in my car it just says to check the disc even though all my other cds work
Hey guys, about a month ago I wrote this for my English class. I was just hoping to get your guys' opinions. Did I do enough? Should I have included more references to things to support my paper?
Innervention: How Logic Motivates Through Rap
They say they don't want messages in rap, it ruins the art
Well, here I am, people, yeah, now tear me apart
– Logic, “Hit My Line”
Rapper and singer Logic consistently includes messages in his songs, whether critics agree it’s the right thing to do or not. “Innerstellar” is no different. Featuring singer Lucy Rose, it was released on August 9, 2024, as part of his album Ultra 85. The track serves as a spiritual successor to “Innermission”, also featuring Lucy Rose, which was released as part of his second album The Incredible True Story on November 11, 2015. Logic first teased the album Ultra 85 in a booklet included with his third album, Everybody, released in 2017 (Navjosh). Logic has always wanted to inspire and help the listener, as evident in his lyrics. Even in 2013, before the release of his first album, he rapped: “Everything I rap about is everything I've learned / So hopefully the listener can position a situation / Where they don't get burned and they can learn from my mistakes,” (“Roll Call”, Lines 25-27). “Innerstellar” follows a similar theme, reflecting on his experiences as an artist to inspire listeners to persevere and fulfill their creative potential while simultaneously showing an understanding the challenges they face. Structurally, “Innerstellar” consists of one long verse by Logic, framed by Lucy Rose’s chorus at both the beginning and end of the song. In the chorus, Lucy Rose portrays empathy and resilience through her lyrics, emphasizing that others may not fully understand what the listener is going through. Logic’s verse begins introspectively, reflecting on his own experiences, before transitioning to offer advice to the listener, encouraging them to pursue what they love in life.
Lucy Rose opens and closes “Innerstellar” with a chorus that sets a tone of empathy and perseverance. She starts the verse with “‘Cause they can’t / Take it from you” (lines 1-2). Here she is saying that people cannot take the creativity out of the listener and telling the listener that “they [people] never understood what you’ve been through” (line 3). She introduces a theme of perseverance with her next line: “What’s life without pushing?” (line 4). Here she is saying that setbacks are just part of life, and that the listener needs to push through. In her last two lines she flips from giving advice to the listener to admiring them for pushing through their experiences, dismissing the critics that didn’t believe in them: “They can't believe what you put yourself through / And I love you for it” (lines 5-6). This paints a picture of how proud the listener should be if they do push through, connecting back to the one of the main themes of perseverance.
Logic starts his verse by reflecting on himself, setting a darker mood with the lines “In a hotel room, contemplating my death / I been on tour so long, feel like ain't nothing left” (lines 7-8), “When I'm riddled with anxiety, it's hard to find sobriety / I'm being honest now, entirely / Physically and mentally drained” (lines 11-13). This is a window into his past and the darker side of artistry, suggesting feelings of isolation. He goes even further into his emotional state when he admits “Gripping this fame, feeling like I'm lost in the game” (line 16). The weight of fame, combined with his internal battles, makes him feel disconnected from himself and the world. He has previously reflected on the demanding nature of tours on The Incredible True Story: “Man, I never knew that living out a dream / Meant living out a suitcase, I've been working at a new pace / So much money on the road I ain't even had a minute / Not a single second chilling in my new place” (“Run It”, lines 9-12). In 2020, Logic announced he will retire following the release of his album No Pressure on July 24, citing the mental toll the industry had taken from him: “I'm constantly second guessin' if my profession is worth it on my mental state” (“Dark Place”, line 11). Although he returned to music less than a year later, this period reflects how deeply the stress and pressure affected him. These struggles may seem contrary to the theme of perseverance, but they are important to show the listener his vulnerability and honesty. By sharing personal battles, Logic shows empathy with the listener, showing that they are not alone in their own struggles.
As the verse progresses, Logic pivots from vulnerability to positivity. He intertwines his personal struggles with moments of optimism, explaining: “It's in these moments that I find freedom / In the midst of a bad day, good thoughts, I greet 'em” (“Innerstellar”, lines 9-10). This shift marks a crucial turning point in the verse, where Logic chooses to focus on his own inner peace despite external challenges. He further emphasizes this by stating, “But no matter how life move, do my best to maintain / I could focus on the positive, or bitch and complain” (lines 14-15). By presenting these options, Logic demonstrates his personal growth and resilience, encouraging listeners to adopt a similar mindset. This transition from darker emotions to positivity reinforces the theme of perseverance. Through his realism and optimism, Logic offers a message of perseverance rooted in empathy and realism, reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles and telling them to retain hope, just as he has.
Before Logic shifts from being introspective, he raps “Gripping this fame, feeling like I’m lost in the game” (line 16), signifying a sense of confusion in what his next move as an artist should be. This purpose could be inspiring others’ creative passions, as signified in this song with lyrics to the listener, but also in previous works. In his song “Introducing Nezi”, from his 2022 album Vinyl Days, he raps “What do you do with the audience you brought in? … Pass the baton and let the next one take it from me … Helpin' other musicians is my criteria / Now let me pass the mic to Nezi” (lines 27-33). The song then gets passed to the feature Nezi Momudo, showcasing Logic’s want to help other artists succeed. He also has expressed a want to help artists on “Tanaka 2” by Joey Valence & Brae, featuring Logic, where Logic raps “time to make some room for Brae and Joey Valence … I’m just tryna shed a little light on artists that deserve it” (lines 40-42). Also, on this album, Ultra 85, the artist Robert Ivory is featured. Robert is a fan that Logic discovered on his Discord, and Logic liked his music enough to fly Robert to his studio and feature him extensively on this album (“ULTRA 85: The Documentary”), which shows how much Logic wants to push others’ artistry, connecting back to the theme of inspiring the listener.
Logic then switches to talking directly to the listener, switching from using first-person pronouns, “I” and “my,” used in previous lines to second-person pronouns, “you” and “your,” with these lines: “It's hard to see the bigger picture when you're feeling restrained / 'Cause everything you dreamed to attain can't fit in the frame” (“Innerstellar”, lines 17-18). Logic is flipping from his feelings of being lost expressed in previous lines, and is now talking to the listener, empathizing with their struggles. Logic then reassures that the listener can push through, telling them that the creativity in their mind is limitless: “Luckily, your mind’s a gallery / Full of artistic expression that could fill up the galaxy” (lines 19-20). By telling them that their artistic mind is greater than they know themselves, Logic inspires the listener to pursue their dreams. Logic then goes back to showing an understanding for the listeners struggles: “It's okay to not be okay” (line 21), but then he flips this to inspire them to push further: “Just don't let that present mood dictate the rest of your day” (line 22). These lines show similar sentiment to the previous ones. Logic is empathizing with the listener, telling them how they feel is okay, but also pushes them to try and do better.
Logic then gives a more general statement, not necessarily addressing the listener specifically or himself: “Children grow up, go to work, then forget how to play” (line 23). This sentiment has been expressed in his music before; in his 2015 song “The Incredible True Story,” Logic samples part of a speech by Allan Watts, where, after talking on how people do not do what they want in life, Watts states: “what we're doing is we're bringing up children and educating them to live the same sort of lives we’re living. In order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing” (Watts, 2:17-2:31). This idea removes some of the blame from the listener, showing that society has conditioned them to be content with the lives they are living, even if it’s not truly what they want.
He then acknowledges the dreams and aspirations of those around him: “A lot of people that I meet tell me about they dreams / And how they wish they could attain 'em even though it seems / Like it's not a probability” (lines 24-26). This mirrors the empathy expressed earlier in the song, where Logic identifies with those struggling to achieve their goals. However, instead of stopping at empathy, he pushes the listener toward action, encouraging them to be kinder to themselves and stop comparing their lives to those on social media: “You could put that phone down, look around, and feel serene / But this thing in our pockets are part of our daily routine” (lines 29-30). These lines critique the digital distractions and comparison culture that many listeners may feel trapped by. The lyrics critique how social media drains creativity and passion: “Comparison is destroying your passion / Used to be full of dreams, now you barely have a ration” (lines 34-35). This observation adds depth to Logic's theme of perseverance. He recognizes that external influences, like technology and societal pressures, can deplete one’s inner drive, but he also offers a solution. His advice to the listener here is to disconnect from distractions, focus on personal growth, and rediscover any creative energy that lies within.
As the song continues, Logic confronts the harsh realities of life while maintaining a hopeful outlook. He acknowledges the importance of practical responsibilities like a “nine to five” job (line 41), but he emphasizes not letting those obligations diminish one's passion: “Do not deprive the heart on your sleeve from the blood underneath” (line 43). This metaphor highlights the necessity of nurturing one's true desires and maintaining a sense of authenticity in a world that often demands conformity. This is followed by “Sharpen your sword daily, don't just keep it in the sheath” (line 44), which tells the listener to continue to express themselves throughout their daily lives. Both of these line urges the listener to continue striving for personal fulfillment while simultaneously navigating the responsibilities of everyday life.
In some of his final lines, Logic provides a shocking reminder of the fragility of life: “a lot of people that woke up today in body bags / 332,648 to be exact / And you mad that you ain't get that big promotion? Fuck that” (lines 50-52). Here, he contrasts the small grievances that often consume people’s lives with the reality of death, encouraging listeners to maintain perspective and focus on what truly matters. This theme of appreciating life’s fleeting nature and not letting negativity control one's mindset is consistent with the rest of the song, reinforcing the message of perseverance and living true to oneself.
The song "Innerstellar" serves as both a personal reflection for Logic and a call to action for listeners. Through his vulnerable confessions and optimistic encouragements, Logic conveys the importance of empathy, not only toward others but also toward oneself. By addressing the struggles of fame, mental health, and societal expectations, Logic creates a message that resonates with those facing their own challenges. His advice to push through adversity, focus on inner peace, and resist societal pressures aligns with his larger body of work, where he consistently aims to inspire creativity and perseverance. Lucy Rose's empathetic chorus and Logic's powerful verse compliment each other, and both emphasize the importance of resilience, self-compassion, and perspective. As Logic has said before, his music is meant to help others “learn from my mistakes,” and "Innerstellar" accomplishes that. The track is not just a reflection on his personal journey but is also a message to the listener on how they can navigate their own struggles while staying true to their passions. By the end, Logic’s message to the listener is revealed: pursue what you love, find joy in the process, and remember that even amidst life's difficulties, there is always room for growth and hope.
