    In general, the album feels like a grab-bag of 'button issues', others' ideas, and content truly desperate to bear high-minded importance, but proves little more than Logic has clearly heard some Kendrick.

The production, lyrics, and story are top notch, and while much of the focus is on Logic being bi-racial, a lot of it is also universal, wishing to help people and end hate. And his talks about race are fascinating and ring true to me. He has a lot to say here, and while I completely understand the divide that this album brings, I personally believed that this album is a fantastic work of art in every possibly way.… Full Review »

For a dude which such talent, he sure knows how to make a bad album. Of course, this album isn't a 0, it's not the worst thing I've ever heard, but I had a pretty bad time listening to it. I know this dude is biracial, but he didn't have to go out of his way to make the most watered down black power anthem ever made, like I think he misses the **** point of being black and he's more obsessed with convinces his generally white fanbase that he's just as black as his cousin Keisha. Him saying **** a couple times on the album pissed me off, even if it wasn't in the context most other rappers do, he's trying to push an agenda more than anything. Anyways, the concept is pretty interesting but very poorly executed. Dragged out skits and instrumentals hurt this album badly. And the accusations of Logic seemingly (not purposely) drawing too much from his contemporaries liters the album as well, songs like "Everybody" not only follow Logic's own formula for rapping over the same type of generic, sampled rap beat, but mirroring Kendrick Lamar's "Alright", which got it's message across A LOT clearer. Logic's just a frustrating person to write about, and I'm guess I'm happy he selling a lot of albums, but I hate the way that his own fans have been championing him but I feel like they are starting to realize what's happened as well. This is not really apart of the review, but I just think Logic just made one of the biggest **** ups of his career. This is just a fact, his fanbase is mostly white kids, and he's championed by that fanbase because he's a (visibly) white guy. Making an album like this just doesn't work...it's just retarded in concept, why are you making an album that (if executed correctly) would be criticizing his very fanbase, or at least make them think more a little, BUT he knew he couldn't go full-on "black power" because he wants to bring "everybody" together, so he makes a couple half-assed bars about the empowerment of black people, without criticizing those keeping us in that position. To quote Pitckfork (which pretty much sucks but knows what's up from time to time), this is the "#AllLivesMatter" of rap albums.… Full Review »

Themes such as his mixed race come up explicitly in every song and are not built upon, but instead he uses it to express a view of world civility that is just about preached by everyone else.… Full Review »
