  • - That's good. I like that. That was cool.

  • - Kudos to him for doing something not generic

  • and really on the next level of things that really reflect

  • what's going on in the world today. I can deal with the language.

  • I can deal with different things like that,

  • because the message is prevalent.

  • - The guy is amazing. I mean,

  • he's already really had a career in a sense,

  • if you think of his underground career.

  • And now his pop career is starting to flourish,

  • which, the guy deserves it. I mean, he works hard.

  • He's on top now, so I give him props, man.

  • He's really good. - (FBE) In addition

  • to his music career, Logic has a channel on YouTube,

  • where he's kind of a YouTuber. - Oh really?

  • - (FBE) He has played video games and posted vlogs and also challenges

  • where he collabs with his wife who has a channel, too.

  • For his fans, what do you think it would mean to know

  • that you can watch this personal content from him?

  • - I think that's-- it makes him seem a lot more personable

  • if that's the case, if he's doing all these different types of things.

  • - I always think it's great to get to know an artist

  • on a personal side. For you to see them outside of their career

  • that you know them for, it's, like, he's sitting there

  • playing games that I would play, or vlogging about something

  • that I just encountered not too long ago.

  • That shows, like, okay,

  • he's not just this super mega star or whatever,

  • he's a normal person too.

  • - It's brilliant from his standpoint,

  • but something about YouTube, there's more of a connection

  • to the people, and to not just be a dude up on stage

  • and where you can actually tap into the person...

  • When he's with his wife, you get a connection there.

  • You get a connection on him when he's gaming

  • and doing his own vlogs and things like that.

  • They know who he is as a person. You really do get a sense

  • of those people, of people on YouTube a lot.

  • I mean, it's kind of crazy.

  • - (FBE) So finally, Logic has said of his career that other artists

  • want, quote, "Glitz and the glamour and all the women,

  • but they don't understand that all I do

  • and want to do is rhyme." - Yes.

  • - (FBE) What do you think about his attitude towards his own career?

  • - He's basically explaining what he wants.

  • All he wants to do is rap. But, I mean, he seems so humble

  • and so young that he already seems like he's woke and good,

  • so I really-- I'm looking forward to hearing more of his music.

  • - He's a real dude. He's a man of the people.

  • - He has it all figured out, man. He's focused on his goal,

  • is to, you know, get his message to the people.

  • - It's understandable if he feels frustrated in that way,

  • if he looks around and someone's rapping about just sex and money,

  • and then he's out here trying to change that...

  • - He's one of those artists that I have to meet

  • in person at least once, and then I'll be content.

  • I'd be super happy. Logic, please.

  • Please, please, please, please, please.
