How Does Logic Contribute To The World
America. Logic is just one of many stories of child abuse. Second, Logic had to do a lot to get to where he is today(famous). He talks about some of his struggles in his song “Take It Back” where he says “...That at 17 years old This child, okay, leaves home and gets two jobs to support himself Two jobs that he works in the morning and the evenings And then he would then come home to about 8 or 9 hours of sleep But spend 4, 5, 6 hours of that working on music, persevering…” (Logic) The reason he left home was because he was hanging around with the wrong people and was abused at home. So he dropped out of high school and got two jobs to support his dream of becoming a rapper. Logic went from performing at the restaurant where he worked at(Joe’s …show more content…
His most recent album Everybody, revolves around the same main central idea: peace, love, and positivity to every man, woman, or child, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation. In this album, there is a song entitled “1-800-273-8255” The title of the song is the national suicide hotline phone number. This song is about depression. “I made this song for all of you who are in a dark place and can’t seem to find the light.” (Tinker) The first verse of the song is in the point of view of the caller wanting to end their own life. The second verse is in the point of view of the suicide hotline worker, and the final verse is in the point of view of the caller realizing life has meaning, and they finally want to be alive. According to CNN “John Draper, director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, said, "The impact has been pretty extraordinary. On the day the song was released, we had the second-highest call volume in the history of our service." Overall, calls to the hotline are up roughly 33% from this time last year.” (Tinker) That is a pretty big impact for just one song. Also, when he performed the song at the VMAs and gave a speech, the hotline spiked again “The lifeline reported a 50% increase in call volume after the show.” (Tinker) He also released a song from his album Under Pressure titled “Nikki” It is about his addiction to nicotine and smoking, but he starts

    This song also calls out certain celebrities and TV networks which were/are associated with the social/political mainstream of America. Heron’s music style most closely resembles rap, as his words aren’t sung rather than said to a beat. His lyrics don’t leave room for interpretation because they’re straightforward and almost communicate with the listener, like a public service announcement. “Message to the Messengers” targets modern hip-hop artists and advises them to be knowledgeable about the political correctness of what they’re dishing out to their fans because these artists are the messengers, for their platform allows them to reach a broader demographic than that of the olden times; they have a vast amount of control. Personally, I agree with Heron because a lot of people are highly impressed by the music…

The first verse questions all the actions of society “Is there a god? Is there a god? Is he watching? Is she watching? Are they watching now? If not, what are we doing? Where are we going?

    Being born on May 21st, 1972, Biggie was caught in the middle of racial violence, gang wars, and a lifestyle that most people can’t relate to. At the age of fifteen, Biggie was selling crack on the streets of Brooklyn, being better known for dealing drugs than making rhymes. This part in Biggie’s life greatly influenced who he became, a world renowned rapper. His career started in basements and street corners around town, freestyling to his peers and neighborhood friends. People knew biggie as the street corner thug who could spit a rap when he wanted, and about what he wanted.

He spent nine months in jail for drug charges, writing and preparing for his time in the lime light. Ounce he was released, he started to put together mix tapes, which bounced from source to source, causing Biggie’s name to gain publicity.

    This song enhances human understanding by telling what is really happening in the world; the status quo of our society. Some of us tolerate the injustice and violence that we see on TV, social media, and the like, but this song reminds us that we are here to spread love, not violence, hatred, and pain. This song just helps us realize that what most of us tolerate is wrong by showing how these issues greatly affects the youth, races, and the rest of the world.…

    Despite undercurrents of menace, the vast majority of hit rap songs have always concerned the same topics as hit rock or pop songs: dancing, getting wasted and getting laid.” And yet, the violence described in gangsta rap was seen by law enforcement as more dangerous, more in need of policing, not entirely unlike black urban communities in the 1980s themselves. However, if you were to read the lyric sheets to the top ten rock songs vs the top ten rap songs of the 90’s, it would be very difficult to argue that the rap lyrics weren’t substantially more violent and many times, outright instigating violence. Guns and Roses Sweet Child O Mine has yet to be cited as an influence in someone’s murder or…

Logic grew up with a caucasian mother and an African American father. We believe that his identity struggle as a child is why his long everybody is so relatable to what we learned during the reconstruction unit.
