Logic Says He Initially Hated Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City”

Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City” Became Logic’s Favorite Album After Listening For A Month

Retired rapper Logic, recently admitted that he initially hated Kendrick Lamar‘s classic album good kid, m.A.A.d city, saying that he wasn’t feeling the vocal effects that the rapper was using, nor was he down with jamming out to nine-minute-long songs.

But after sitting listening to it for a month steadily on replay he decided that it was his new favorite album. His tune switched completely.

“I have my initial feeling, but when m.A.A.d city came out, I fucking hated that album. 100 percent. People could be like, ‘Oh whatever.’ I don’t give a fuck. That is my opinion. I didn’t like it,” Logic reveals during his interview with Hard Knock TV.

“I didn’t like it because I wasn’t into Kendrick Lamar doing all his weird voices. I didn’t like that, I liked J. Cole… Straight up, that’s what I liked. I didn’t like all these skits. I didn’t like having to sit through nine minutes of a song. I didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, I didn’t like it, and then I loved it because I sat with it.”

The “No Pressure” rapper explained what caused such a shift in his perception of the album. “I sat with it and I went, ‘Damn, okay you’re fucking with your voice. Some people have done that, [like] OutKast, but you’re doing it your own way,'” he says.

“This is really cool, that’s inspiring. I like that shit. Wow, you know why I like this because I’m listening to Cole and I’m listening to these different people rap on like boom-bap beats.”

“But they’re kind of more modern where you only have a few modern beats and you’re doing way more actually super raw shit and weird shit and I fell in love with it. In a month, it was my favorite album.”
