Who's here because of Muchdank?
Quantom X 344,000 people my dude
I’m biracial haha
✋
Quantom X everyone
Quantom X OGBSKFND WHO ISNT
Y'all, he really fuckin made it. I remember when he played shows for 100 people and now he's at the VMAs 😭
codyat9999 i remember when he used to rap in the crabshack
*starts slow clap*
I remember him getting booed off stage once
codyat9999 like every other artist
One day, i'll be like him lmao
bruh how can people still hate on this man
itsStawny just because he talks about his race and people get their panties in a bunch
itsStawny because he's different and people aren't used to that they still immature and wanna talk about worldy things while he's on a different level of maturity
itsStawny There will always be haters. No matter who you are, no matter what it is. Haters gonna hate.
bc he’s a nerd
itsStawny they just don't have nothing better to do
To be honest, I don't understand all the hate in these comments and on this video. A lot of what he's saying is just normal responses/messages of happiness and some positive vibes :(
Tyler Armstrong People don't want positivity anymore fam 😂
Low quality people will hate on anything to make themselves feel better
the comments mocking him being biracial arent hate theyre just jokes now i think, i really dont know but i love logic and i joke around with that
when the video first came out there was a lot more negativity and dislikes
OSNs Hat some but people need to stop sometimes, some people genuinely wish he was dead which is fucked up
This VMA performance needs to be VIRAL. What I just saw on the VMA's is something that moved me in a way I've never expected, my friend committed suicide a month ago, I wish he could see this, I wish I would've done something. This is the type of initiatives we need, to spread love and awareness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE LOVE, YOU ARE VALUABLE, ANYTHING CAN BE SOLVED.
Alejandra V Thank you for sharing. Salute.
So sorry for the loss of your friend. Just know their soul is finally at peace. They just wanted to stop feeling so low, the crying 😢 . just know their soul is finally free.
Alejandra V on UA-cam, the performance from the VMAS that has the most views is his lmao
So sweet of you.
Alejandra V I know your pain will never ease, remember they were strong but broken! My sister, my cousin & unfortunately many more I've loved have chosen suicide. It's hard to live with but I know they lived with alot & that's why they made their choices. I miss them so much! Best to you
Y'all over here saying Logic talks to much about his race but don't realize that u guys talk about it more than he does. Its who he is he's biracial and proud, if he don't talk about it y'all would say he's ashamed of his identity. I don't understand why he can't talk about his skin color and not get bashed about it but other rappers can an no one says shit about them😕 If you can't accept Logic for who he is go somewhere else, no one wants, needs, or cares about your hate #peaceloveandpositivity
people talk about it a lot because its become a meme at this point
HeyThat'sPrettyGood a dead meme
Brianda Camille Exactly he's so positive how can people hate him😂
yeah but still
Brianda Camille Doesn't* Accept*
Awesome. He's a really inspirational artist.I hope he enjoys and nails his performance tomorrow!
Luah Apollo DA Me too. I can relate with what he said about trying to be accepted by people who will never accept you. It hurts but you just gotta love you I guess. I hate to be that guy , but if you have the time I'd greatly appreciate it if you checked out my music please 🙏🏾. All I want is to be heard. I've got an second mixtape on the way and my goal is to gain a supporter a day for when it drops.
Wow who cares what he looks like? Just appreciate the message and music 💯
Julius Thompson facts but people just love to complain
Julius Thompson actually they just don't any thing better to do
Liberation Talley Wait what? Can you explain a bit more please?
Julius Thompson -all I'm saying is that he don't look black as hell-
Literally no one in the comments is complaining. Actually I've found a lot people complaning about "haters" talking about his race but no actual person talking about him in a negative way.
Everyone's talking about how he's talking about him being black and white, but can we actually talk about how many times he says tight? It's so cute and funny at the same time 😂
same he''s so excited
Love logic but it was cringey to me. But at the same time logic is so "logic" he makes it work.
I could listen to him talking all day...
like me
Me 2
For the ignorant people listen to 11:20 to 12:15.
Why isn't this top comment yet?
Gnative ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
It's the fact that he brings it up in his songs first, not interviews.
proof?
Logic is white hahahaha
Love logic, he's a really relatable artist
Apollo DA I agree. I can relate with what he said about trying to be accepted by people who will never accept you. It hurts but you just gotta love you I guess. I hate to be that guy, but if you have the time I'd greatly appreciate it if you checked out my music please 🙏🏾. All I want is to be heard. I've got an second mixtape on the way and my goal is to gain a supporter a day for when it drops.
Apollo DA no u can't relate ur white
NAIJ ILL TV sure thing dude I'll check it out
Lolol
I'm not white dude
yall need to chill cause there are a bunch of people discovering logic for the first time and wouldnt know certain things about him
share bear Like myself! He didn't look completely white to me but I wasn't sure if he was mixed and I stumbled upon this interview (first one I ever watched, left a great impression).
All they need to do is listen to caterpillar or any other one of his new songs and he'll tell time he's biracial over and over again. It's not that he said it in this interview. It's just that this is the 100th time we've heard it.
"Can I cuss?"..."F*ck yeahh!"
kimmie pie what time?
7:21
he's so excited he's so cute lol
milly solis hes a dweeb
milly solis u dumb ass bitch
Nervous
he's also white lol
@@millieshodeinde4358 lmao
It makes me so mad when all these people in the comment section say "Logic is white, he ain't black" like they know him and all the facts. Half of y'all saying that crap probably don't even know his real name. Don't spat opinionated facts if you know nothing about him, and are only basing him off of appearance.
Ledaleee to be scientifically accurate, we all from Africa
Red River Productions um no? 😂
Kenzie Nicole our ancestors came from Africa
Kenzie Nicole humans originated from Africa. Learn ya history.
Red River Productions state some actual facts with actual backup & i'll shut up. thanks. ❤
On the real tho that interviewer was crushing on Logic
Jokr how so?
Jokr how lmao
Jokr tru
Who doesn't?
Other way around.. dude was awkward as hell
Fuck yeah logic. I've been supporting him for so long always repping him no matter what, my friends always called him "corny" and "wack" yet now people know that he is a legend. Finally he is getting the recognition he deserves
Haha my friends told me the same, they only now started liking him cuz hes getting popular the song 1800 got to them its got a good message to it!!
Better late than never, I'm glad your friends are finally "getting" him and his messages!
Logic is the man ❤️
Literally the best interview I have ever seen
I just love how excited Logic is to be doing the interview and realizing his goals. He's so relateable.
Im about to read the comments and get triggered
I CRIED during his performance today at the VMAs. Seeing all these suicide attempt survivors really got to me when I have been struggling with slight suicidal feelings. I feel like I can't tell my parents because my mom would tell my dad and my dad would call me a baby and make me cry as always.
Stephania Kontopanos Logic is here for you.
Stephania Kontopanos the Hotline is always open 😉
Stephania Kontopanos hey why does your dad call u a baby bro that's mean
The crazy thing is I know you don't really want to die. No ones does. You just want the pain to subside or go away .
It seems obvious but it feels like you aren't in control of your path.
I promise you it's gets better. But not without a fight. But it's a fight worth fighting through until you live life happy and fulfilled 🤗🙏
Stephania Kontopanos as a person that wanted to die 2 years ago it will get better I promise! I don't know if you believe in god or if you're religious. But what helped me is to PRAY I talked to god a lot and I stopped over thinking every situation I just let it go and gave it to god. It's not easy because I'm still struggling a lil but it will get better! God bless you
logic is a great rapper lol some people don't appreciate it because he talks about real issues instead of partying and drugs (nothing wrong with that lol)
but always remember, nobody is forcing you to watch this or listening to him lmao
HE'S SO ADORABLE GETTING ALL EXCITED AND SO APPRECIATIVE OF HIS LIFE THIS IS SO PURE WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE LOGIC CREATING MORE TOPICS IN MUSIC LIKE THIS
Logic is so down to earth, love his vibe and being mixed is not easy .Every encounter you have to explain my dad's this and my mom's that , genetics, science and history etc. Pigment is nothing more than skin color but in todays society it comes with a package of characteristics.
It's so refreshing to see someone so genuine 🙌🏽 Love his fun personality! 💛 Can't wait to see him act, write novels, and much more! He's a gem #SoTalented
Logic is constantly talking about his race because ya'll constantly keep commenting on it. It gets him more and more fans, it's hilarious that you give him so much attention on his race, that's why he has to explain himself.
lol exactly xD
Idrc but Something inspired it
In an ideal world he shouldn’t have to explain himself, where he’s from, what his ethnicity is, etc, unfortunately we don’t live in that world. I love his everybody vibe, if more people were like him the world would most definitely be richer, more loving and generally a much better place to inhabit. This guy is an inspiration and more artists should take a leaf out of his book
This interview was really well done! Respect to Logic for cutting through the bullshit and getting his message out
I have the same problem as logic.. cause I am biracial and I look white af and every time I have to explain it they look at me weirdly and say prove it! Like its 2017 I thought it would be normal for two different races to love each other..
KaykayHunna if thats ur pic u look mixed
KaykayHunna the struggle is real
Same! I'm not black and white but I'm native American and white and my white side is Scottish. My siblings all have tan skin and darker brown hair and eyes and I'm over here with curly red hair and insanely pale skin so when I tell people I'm native they think I mean like my great great great grandfather was native lol
I agree, just because you are white doesn't chang anything, same as when your black. but I have a question that isn't a joke or sarcastic. but how TF can you be 2 RACES AT ONCE???
Sameee😂😂 I'm Hispanic but my mom is white so everyone is wierded out when I'm like English wasn't my first language
He's such a good person.
He's so inspirational just watching him preform on the VMA's made me cry sm bc his music has changed my life and I just thank him for that 💕
I'm biracial too (black/white) and you know its rough lmao, I get confused for being Hispanic a lot and I don't have any kind of Hispanic anything in me then when I explain they don't believe me 😒 idk how someone can tell you what race you are when they aren't you lol.
Dung Chow same the struggle is real
I am completely in your shoes in also mixed with black and white and I get mistaken for Hispanic all the time...people don't even ask they just assume which sucks.
I'm Filipino and people either assume I'm Hispanic or Chinese lol
I look forward to the day when we all just appreciate skin tones and not try to force people to “choose” anything. Both of my parents are black, but I get asked if I’m mixed because my father is what’s considered “Red” and my mother is that beautiful smooth dark chocolate. You guessed it-I look more on the lighter side.
I’m biracial and i have that too. Honestly hispanic ain’t even a race and they’re mixed too so thats why we look like them. I just said fuck the black and the white i’m hispanic now😂
He is so exited and thankful. That's why I LOVE logic.
ONE of the Best interviews i seen thus far. I love the fact how genuine and outspoken he is Logic is so underrated!!! Good vibes! Give the man his props🤗
this was amazing 😆 I loved it soooo muuuccchhh....everybody be you and goofld things will happen... you'll get noticed because your you.
He's so beautiful, inside & out ❤️✊🏽
Bless this young man...! Amazing work!
Your amazing, thanks for such a powerful message. GOD bless you.
So proud logic finally made it all the way up . He has been slept on for so long
I can't stop crying after I watched his performance
He talks about his race because y'all keep talking about it.Shut up then he'll stop
This is one of the best interviews ever. lol I don't even listen to dudes music but I'm in love with his excitement and positivity. Want nothing but the best for this kid. Gotta listen to his music now
Never even really listened to logic but he seems like a real humble dude. I definitively support the message and what he stands for.
Logic is so cute he jus gained another fan i didnt even knw he was on da song "Sucker For Pain" either til i recognize his name he's talented keep up da great work and lmao all i got through out da video was he kept sayin "tight" lmao but he's hella hilarious as well and very intelligent
This is why I love Logic.
Watched it and was, as usual, singing out loud, in tears, feeling excited cuz I've seen him twice, etc.. THIS kid! Super proud of you LOGIC! ☮💓➕
I needed this song. Thank you 💕
LMAO @ people saying I don't know why people / he talks about race all the time - let him talk about race. let him talk about race every fucking day if he wants because it's an issue in the world. it's always been an issue for poc (including biracial) it's just now people are starting to build the confidence to speak up about it. if it bothers you, it bothers you because you're on your little cloud and you don't want to be bothered with it or acknowledge that yes some people's lives are much worse simply because they're not white. if it bothers you, wake up because newsflash ! you're the issue :)
this mans beautiful inside and out.
This is adorable! It makes me so happy to see people like Logic so happy, doing well for himself and good in the world.
this interview's TIGHT dawg.... no seriously it's awesome
HE IS SUCH A DOPE ARTIST.
Starting at 11:24 is when he actually gets into why "he brings it up all the time". Come on, don't listen to wack ass Joe Budden. Listen to the source.
TheDragoonFactor
This was such a good interview!!
Such an amazing interview!
Logic better WIN
wait logic is biracial
1825ls da goat his dad is black
+Ethxn Dood he's just memeing.
Lil Dump my Friend is Mixed and she looks white
Lil Dump look his father up. They look alike. He is biracial.
^ Cameron Boyce also looks white yet is biracial. You can look white yet be biracial. God.
so much respect for him on so many levels 🙌🏾 he's such an incredible person ❤️
i dont even know who this person is at all, and listening to this whole thing for damn near 17 minutes, i have so much respect for him. just listen to the way he talks; its crazy. hes filled with knowledge and and hes so open-minded and just pure in and out. definitely going to check him out. ive never been so amazed just listening to someone talk.
Logic has done so friggin well man!! He's come so far!! Bloody bless your soul man!!!
Right when I saw the thumbnail, I was like, HOLY SHIT- HE HAS A BIG FOREHEAD. But either way, Logic is that dude. 👌🏼
Love Logic!He is so positive,amazing like literally I love him❤️His music is amazing!Peace,Love,and Positivity😊
he's s cute and compassionate and sweet aweee he deserve the success cause people need to hear his meaningful messages in his song's
drink every time Logic says "tight"
He's awesome 👏🏾
cant decide if i hate or love the fact that ive been with logic since day 1 and everyones JUST NOW starting to fuck w him but im beyond proud that he's made it. he deserves every bit of it.
His energy is lit !! Love it . You made it bro .
Can't wait for his next one don't know if he can top this one though!
"I really love your album EVERYONE "😂😂😂😂😂
As I'm watching this interview, I have to give credit to her for asking great questions. It has turned it into a great interview where he really gets to cover different aspects of his album. Its not the same boring questions. I love the album and his realness.
I really like both of them , they are so genuine
Dab for diversity
Marvin's World ayyy!
@@rickjames9522 they literally disrespect European culture etc
LOVE!
What an inspiration, be you Logic and continue to reach out those in need. Race, creed or religion shouldn't matter. We are one, we are all pink inside. It's what's outside and inside that makes us unique and no one should be hated on for being themselves. We all want to live, dream, succeed, love and be loved. Stop the H8 and enjoy the little things and one another. It's hate and war that destroys us, let's conquer that feeling and be one.
Shit's so tight. It was all so difficult. So many perspectives. So poignant. Thanks Logic! Authentic. Real recognize real. So many different experiences. It's all about humanity and having the power and the strength to continue. Great message. No one is saying this.
he's so goofy and genuine. so rad. cool to see someone real in this industry.
"Can I cuss?"
"...fuck yeh"
From playing with faze to here YOU ARE THE MAN BRO
I love the interviewer!! Super eloquent and asking interesting questions
I love him.
This guy is so awesome. He's so different
He's just so chill and positive. I love it. More of this, Hollywood!
This interview and EVERYTHING along those lines were INSPIRATIONAL FAB AND JUST EVERYTHING 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌💭💭💭❤❤
Real recognize real❤️ Real eyes realize real eyes
Logic looks more and more like an old man named Earl every day.
I found out about him three years ago. I am so happy to see him grow and get more exposure.
I legit cannot see how anybody could not like this guy. I'm not saying how could you not like his music, I mean how could you not like him as a person. And on top of his personality he's got to be one of the most well spoken rappers and intelligent rappers out there, and his interactions with fans is bar none
he talks like a pastor, lmao I love it
Do people not know he raps about his life and the stuff in his life? It's better than hearing the same shit over and over about hoes,weed, money and sex. He raps about the shit he's experienced and wants equality how can you hate someone who wants equality you people are dense.
i just discovered this guy. this guys gonna be a goat eventually
he is great to interview!! if he has a podcast i would listen to it for sure
Respect
The realest rapper out there. he's so underrated
Jordan Aparece ..
Logic sucks
I like it when an artist presents important material. Jidenna (who is also black(Nigerian)/white sings and raps about important topics and graduated from Stanford. Most people just want to hear about sex and drugs in rap music now unfortunately.
Jordan Aparece ikr
@Blaze Wages he's not because he said he doesn't suck toes like he be saying in his songs
He made alot of people cry i love him he really reached his goal
SHES SO INTO WHAT HES SAYING THIS IS SO REAL AND THEYRE BOTH SO INTO IT AND GENUINELY HAPPY TO BE THERE
He is so amazing
He's so cute
Logic, you are the best. I love you. Your songs have great messages.
I wanna be his friend. He seems so down to earth, funny and accepting. I really liked the "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not" quote. Such a nice guy.
Ups to the interviewer too! She asked genuinely interesting questions and was very calm and relaxing. I feel like that's rare nowadays.
