Hey what's up everybody this is Logic in Los Angeles, California at Amoeba
which is my favorite record store in the country. I can say that 'cause it's true
flex, they're not like giving me a check or anything
I'm here this is What's in My Bag, all this awesome stuff
I'm not gonna start with a record I'm gonna start with Community
That's the most racist thing I've ever heard!
Is that racist?
Pierce will beat that in one minute.
*sneeze*
Hey, Troy sneezes like a girl.
How about I pound you like a boy? That didn't come out right.
Why don't you all leave him alone with his cute little baby sneezes
You're not my mother.
She's not?
29 seconds.
I've seen a couple episodes of this but I've never fully indulged in it, y'know what I mean?
It's really funny because I know this gentleman Mr. Donald Glover
who goes by Childish Gambino, who was an incredible entertainer in general
He's an amazing musician and a really brilliant writer and actor
Hey.
Can I ask you something I've always wanted to ask the real Batman?
Yeah.
Am I good looking?
You're a very attractive young man.
I knew it.
I really love what I've seen of the show. I mean Chevy Chase I mean, come on dude.
The Slim Shady LP, which is classic, insane.
Y'know what I never realized for a long time
that's Kim in the trunk of his car
What I remember about this is just how crazy it was and how politically incorrect
everybody went so insane and picketed and all this other stuff but it's funny
'cause all the negative things that came with this album and Eminem back then
actually made him even more popular
His actual first album, which I would've bought today as well, but I already own it
is called 'Infinite' and he recorded it back in Detroit
and that, to this, is night and day but this is still a guy who isn't famous yet
I'm sure he got his deal, he had some money in his pocket
he's working with Dr. Dre, that shit's crazy and he's like, oh my god but
His still wasn't selling a million albums in a week and this and that
that he was going to become until he dropped it, then he dropped it
Yes.
Outcast 'Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik'
This is...I mean, c'mon, forget about it.
People can't discredit how many incredible MC's are from the south
from UGK to Outkast to Killer Mike
and all these just incredible artists, y'know what I mean?
If it wasn't for them, hip-hop wouldn't be the same.
It ain't just New York, it's not just the west coast, it's not just the south, it's not just the north
It's all of it that, I think makes it what it is
but I got this because I don't own it
and I have a lot of Outkast albums on vinyl
And vinyls are making a comeback too.
There's a reason why my album 'The Incredible True Story' hasn't been pressed up on vinyl yet
and it's because so many of the major vinyl plants
were shut down because nobody was buying them anymore
So now there's one main one that presses them all up
then there's a couple other little mom-and-pop ones, but it takes so long to do it
So I'm not gonna have my vinyl out for 3 months, which sucks, but quality is good
Mr. K-Dots 'To Pimp a Butterfly.' I have his first on vinyl as well
I figured we're in LA, I'm here at Amoeba, where he's from, so I thought I would get this
An incredible album and I think it was not only a statement just for the black community
but for the community, for human beings, for people
Y'know the message on this album was one of great importance and
My good friend Terrace Martin is all over this
he's a producer, rapper, singer, saxophone player...he's a crazy dude.
And one incredible fact that he told me about this album is there isn't one 808
on the whole album, it's all live bass. Which I think is really incredible.
Great album, for hip-hop and for mankind.
Had to get this one.
Wolf.
Funny story about this, from 10 minutes ago.
I was going, I was shopping through and I was looking for everything
and Earl Sweatshirt was there. Rare!
He probably had no idea who I was, when I was like, 'what's up bro?'
I had the oppotunity to go on tour with Kid Kudi
Big Sean and Tyler the Creator, but on that whole tour he was a really nice dude
Last day of the tour, when we said our goodbyes, he was like, if I remember correctly it was
"You're fuckin' nasty, bro, you're fuckin' nasty," like in his crazy ass deep voice
And it meant a lot to me, know what I mean? He's got a good heart and his music is awesome
My favorite song on this is Bimmer. "You remind me of my Bimmer"
Oh, last but not least: Thriller
I mean, talk about a classic though
Y'know people like Quincy Jones or even No ID
They're the reasons why I believed that I could become a producer
I remember when I first was in the studio and No ID who's worked with everybody and their baby mama
He was like, you're a producer
And I was like, what? He was like, trust me you're a producer. And I was like, nah, get out of here
I used to think, to be a producer you had to play the keys and do this and do that do all this other stuff
No, look at Quincy Jones. it was his job as a producer to bring the entire life to the project
to find the person who can play the perfect strings
and the person who can, y'know, play the keys are sing background or do this or do that
So when you think about this album you think, ok Michael Jackson, sure
Michael Jackson, c'mon, incredible, amazing.
but you also have to remember Quincy
That's cool too, if you think Quincy and Mike
but think about all the incredible musicians and writers and people that they brought in to create a classic.
Thank you so much for talking with us today.
That's it?
That's it!
Are you sure?
Yeah!
I felt like I talked too much.
