it's amazing what parents can teach when they don't mean too. I like drinking but seeing my dad go through alcoholism makes me know what can happen if I let it in to much.
@stormb8433 just cuz something is monetized doesnt mean its not deep wtf😂😂 you think if they turned that off itd impact a conversation that already happened? thats not how things work buddy💀
@@davev7108yeah, his dad is a POS deadest scumbag 😂😂 Logic is kinda cringe but on a human level he’s giving a lot of grace towards his dad who didn’t even want to have him and abandoned him once he was born.
Man that line “im a man of my word today because you aren’t” bro thats gotta be the deepest line ive ever heard someone say hes been wanting to say that since he was that little boy on the curb waiting for his father
Man I cried real tears when you confronted your pops about not picking you up as a kid, I experienced exactly that. I felt like I vicariously got healing through your conversation, thank you a lot
Its millions of adults raising kids that used to be kids that still need this conversation with their parents.Most won't ever get to have it so I appreciate the fuck out of this.
watching a son break down all the pain from 33 years of waiting is beautiful and sad at the same time a very special father and son moment RATT PACK FOREVER
"i'm a man of my word today because you aren't." ... damn brother i had to pause and let that shit breathe, this was all very real and touching. Much love to you Bobby, you're gonna be a great father. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us
Idk man I can see he could possibly have a changed mindset but you have to remember he was a drug addict for the majority of his life. He may have good intentions but a lot of bad habits and still make a lot of mistakes. Once you get clean, it’s just the beginning it takes along time to repair all the brokenness that addiction caused
@@helgaotto7801logic defo does but that’s not the point. It’s the forgiveness and healing of it that matters. Logic knows the dad isn’t 100 percent but enough for him to be stable with
I can’t imagine watching my dad who wasn’t there for me, fucked up my credit, chose drugs over me and asks me for money gloat about how much his new son changed his life. I’m an only child but that hurt MY feelings. I pray your healing is solid. 💖
facts real ppl can see that manipulatuion tactics, pops loving logic spilling all this bullshit out so he can use it against him... Pops is a 60 year old former drug addict narcisist he getting his way he dont feel love or empathy just like a blind person dont see
@@TimmyTOnTheFlystop acting like a lil kid dude. Just projecting your own shit. We can see through everything. His dad may be better than he was but he’s also just looking for a way around just straight up asking for money.
I did this same exact thing with my dad. We spoke for four hours. I prefaced the rules ahead of time. Our talk would be a Socratic discussion: I talk…you listen. You talk…I listen and then we come together and just speak freely. Logic has ALWAYS made vulnerability and being true to yourself cool. Appreciate you, Bobby!
Be lucky you have a dad that listens and doesnt resort to every tactic used by narcisitic parents... My pops does everything but actually listen he just wants to respond and never take in knowledge especially if it effects his ego... i wish i can have a real convo with my pops other than saying yes to the daily chores and talking about what dinner im gonna eat ...
I have done the same around 15 years ago and made peace and we started a new. He apologised and took accountability for his choices. He died last year and I have peace. Everyone if they can should do it.
@@realbosstakeai read your personal comment you made about your own situation with your parents, and also read your comment/question you had in response to reading L1F3's comment. i could feel your pain in every word that you wrote - i am so sorry for that pain you carry from the hurt and trauma you have experienced through the dynamic you experience as a child of narcissistic parents. what i want to share with you is something that took me 38 years to be able to understand about what it was i actually needed in order to start healing, and not allow the father my dad is to me affect who i am as a person, or allow it to change or affect the daughter i authentically am and want to be to him. i am 42 years old now ...and since that moment of enlightenment that i had when i was 38, i have been able to forgive my dad, not for him, but for myself, because the burden i carried with me because of him was not my burden to carry, despite having been plagued with the weight of it for my entire life. i allowed myself to view my dad and his shortcomings, as well as his inability to understand, acknowledge or accept responsibility or take accountability for the things he has done and said (or not said) that have negatively impacted, hurt, traumatized and damaged me as a person. not because i am making justifications for him, but because i am capable of recognizing that he does not the emotional intelligence that is needed in order for him to be able to recognize or understand these things. he is unaware that emotional intelligence even exists, let alone what it is ...because he has such a low emotional intelligence. i say this not in a condisending way, nor from a place of judgement. i say this from a place of compassion. compassion is favourite human trait. tapping into my "compassion" is allows me to be able to look at difficult things that i otherwise struggle with, from a different perspective that allows me to separate myself in that moment from allowing it to affect me in the personal way that it otherwise would because of being emotionally connected to the situation. i have compassion for the fact that my father has these shortcomings that are his nacassistic personality traits. those traits stunt his level of emotional intelligence. i am really bad at math - i am right side brained and it just does not come easily to me. my brother is an actual mathematical genius, and yet i at times catch myself counting on my fingers - haha! it is just not my forte, and as an adult, i am ok with that and do not hold it against myself, as i recognize and appreciate all of the strength and gifts i have in other areas, such as my creativity and artistic and musical gifts and skills..etc, etc. we all have strnghts and weaknesses, and those strengths and differences we each hage differ from one another. unfortunately, some people's weaknesses (aka: traits/areas in life they do not excel in, but instead lack in) really affect others, and not always in a good way, but sometimes (like in your case with your parents), in a very damaging, painful, paralyzing and life altering way. i know that what it feels like you need and want to be able to have the opportunity to do is to have your dad listen to you and let you speak and express your thoughts, your feeling and especially be able to share with him how the things that he has done and said to you throughout your life had made you feel, how they have damaged you as a person, and how they have affected your life and deprived you of being able to experience your life and have and feel happiness....and i am sure you want for him to feel as little in this conversation as he has made you feel your entire life ... because these are all very valid and true facts of your experience in your life of having him as your father. i take what you said at "face" value, in that you truly dont feel you could ever have such conversation with your dad because he would not allow it because he would not get it and i stead would somehow do what he does best and somehow twist it around on you and interrupt you and make belittling comments that are in actual fact ridiculous comments that have no connection whatsoever to the topic of your conversation, yet because of the dynamic that has always been with him and you your entire life (the dynamic that he has created being your narcissistic father), his ridiculous way that he talks in circles and deflects with his absurdities and outlandish comments (as narcissists do) immediately bring you to that same place he always does, which are the feelings that shake your confidence in yourself (which is always their goal in order to try and level you so that they can have that false sense of superiority by trying to make you feel less than in any way possible....so stupid and not at all true or at all the case....which they know to be true, but because it is their biggest insecurity, it is why it is the thing they fear most and the reason they will do anything at all costs to avoid having to see themselves for who they truly are if they are in the mirror....which is why they are masters of blowing smoke in mirrors. but it's all an illusion that they have created to keep up the dellusion that is the appearance of how they need the world to see them as....all a rouse to try and overcompensate for how insecure of a person they truly are. you arent wrong in recognizing you will likely never have that conversation ...and i want you to know that it is ok, because the reason you feel you need to be able to have that conversation and have them understand it and see it and take accountability for alp of it and maybe even apologize....you just think you need to have that and hear that to be able to heal and be ok. but i am telling you dont need them to do or get all of that. you really dont. because at the end of the day, it isnt about them, it is about you. you need them to do those things in order for you to be able to be ok. why? because that it putting the ball in their court and allowing your healing and growth to be based on their response or reaction....and guess what? they dont get to have that power over you in that way. how you decide to allow them to affect your ability to heal and let go of the shit that you have carried because of them that is not your shit to carry - that's on you. the childhood trauma you have and have as an adult is NOT your fault. but it is your responsibility as an adult, healing from it all is your responsibility - because the only person that can can do that is you😊💗. that is your responsibility and your power, not your parent's power. dont give them that power....it's something that they cannot take away from you, so dont give them the power by allowing yourself to feel that they should, could or would have any part in your healing....they are the ones that got you into this mess to begin with, so why on earth would you actually need or trust or even remotely want them to have any part in your healing and recovery? trust me when i say that it's you who navigates yourself out of this mess....and i promise you that if you just trust in your intuition and gut...and give yourself the opportunity to at least try and see things in the way that i described....that you will do a damn good job finding your way to the other side of where you are at when it comes to the hold and affect your parents have always had on you and the way it has always affected how you feel about yourself and your life and your choices and your decisions....it will help you separate yourself from being affected by them in hopefully every way, but at the very least, in the ways that matter and mean the most in order for you to begin to heal and starting living your life for you. i didnt intend for this to be so long....but it just became what it did, and that's ok. i hope that how i am intending for this to be perceived is how it reads and how you perceive it and receive it 😊. jordan💜
30 minutes into this… I start to cry because I can relate. My mom was always gone. She was always out somewhere. She always came home with a different guy. Did drugs. Was an alcoholic. I finally left home at 10 years old because I it felt like it wasn’t home. But I always thought to myself why I left at such a young age. No kid deserves to experience cops coming to your house every month. At some point in my life my little brother and I were in the foster home for 3 months. It was a horrible time in my life it felt like I didn’t have a normal childhood so I left. We love you Rob! ❤
I absolutely get that. My dad isn't nearly as bad (action wise not as a person) as logic guy but I will say he rarely never keeps his word. I try my best to keep my word and the times I didn't was because of outside reason but i feel like absolute shit when that stuff happened definitely when it happened to someone i absolutely adore and care for.
I don’t mean to compare myself to anyone but it kills me to see someone like Logic or anyone go through what he has. Addiction isn’t a victimless condition, people around you also get effected by what you do. My heart breaks for young Logic because all he wanted was that moment where his dad honors the promises he made and spend time with his father.
@@PhillMac Addicts do know they are hurting everyone around them. They’re just beyond lost and persuade themselves into believing their loved ones are better off without them. Most people who battle addiction have their own traumas they failed to cope with… in the midst of that, they don’t realize in the moment they are causing trauma for the people they care about. But moral of that being…. They are aware of the damage they cause. Addicts just get to a certain point they don’t care for their own lives. It’s hard to expect them to care for others until they get the help they need
Seeing Logic like this reminded me of my own father and I finally coming together and becoming more closer than before after years of not being around and me holding on to so much anger towards him. I respect the hell out of Bobby for this one, it takes a lot of balls to be able to confront something like this
I love how logic is willing to show this side of himself and with his dad. Make himself vulnerable and let us in his life like 90% of artists wouldn’t. Mad respect brother. 🙏🏼
My dad overdosed and I dreamt of having this conversation with him. I told myself it’s going to happen, I’ll be able to open up to him and tell him how I felt being his child. I wish he was still here just so I could’ve had this moment like Logic had with his father.
My dad died the same way, in a basement, OD. Never got to have this conversation myself with him about his abandoning me, didn't know he even loved me until his funeral and hearing about all the years he would talk about me and his pride in me. But the man just never chose to talk to me about it before his death.
@@RecoCoatesIVyeah it really is. Idk why people wanna be something they’re not. I love being my own race and never would aspire to be someone else ever it’s so weird.
It takes balls of steel to show your vulnerable side while confronting the man who stole your childhood away. I wouldn't say I'm a diehard fan of Logic as a musician looking through every album and single release, but I'm definitely gonna continue watching your podcast while being able to see how real you are.
From a woman who has suffered as a lil girl who had a unavailable father I can tell you this interview hits differently I’m still trying to understand my feelings of neglect and why they made me feel not good enough and chasing after unavailable men but as we grow up we realize our parents are humans and they make mistakes like everyone else it’s how we learn and grow from them that matter !!
I saw someone say in the comments “you didn’t have to put this on the internet” and i really don’t understand that. We NEED people like this setting this example for us. The comments are full of people who relate to this and I’m one of them. I’m so glad we have someone like logic being real with us like this
You didn’t have to share this with us and I applaud you for doing so. Takes a real man to be comfortable with showing such emotion and raw feelings. Thank you 🙏
My gf’s older bro is goin down the type of path your dad did.. it is extremely sad and im glad you are puttin it out there to shed some light and show others theyre not alone! Love ya Bobby!!
Bobby is no fool. He knows his Dad is still the same in a lot of ways, BUT he is trying. Bobby has grown so much that he is showing his Dad a kind of dignity that his father never knew. He is teaching his father how to love. My Dad left me when I was young too. Were in touch now and he still has all those flaws but I know he's trying. Many times, the children raise the parents. It may suck, yes..but we can handle it where they couldn't. I love how open and unapologetic he is towards his Dad
I would go no contact. This is wild. Absolutely no accountability. Your dad's out here and made a WHOLE NEW family and can't even provide for them and comes to you??? What a literal embarrassment.
Respectfully, if you haven’t been in the same situation then this is an opinion you should probably keep to yourself… you’re entitled your opinion but that’s just rude. Logic himself has forgave his dad and he’s the one in the situation. Have you seen how horrible addiction is? My own father struggles with it and I’ve suffered the effects my whole life. But i could never cut my dad off and go no contact
Damn this is the realest shit ever. So much respect Logic. A lot of people are talking about how his dad looks like he hasn’t changed yada yada..maaan it’s takes a different kind of strength to talk vulnerability with a parent who is addict. Cause you gotta meet them from where THEY are, not from where you are or where you’re coming from. Something I still struggle with when talking to my mom. The fact that you can see your dad slip up with a “I didn’t mean it like that” and still walk him through how it affected you. So beautiful. Congrats to the pops for working through a lifetime of regret and facing that shit up close. It’s hard.
For the culture, for men, for mental health, and for the world, this is so amazingly huge. Thank you for being vulnerable and showing other people that you can still be a man, a leader, and a visionary, and also have some f***ing emotions. Cause we all got em.
Theres no pain like a father making a promise and breaking it. Waiting up because they are coming to get you and they never show up. The callus from that bullshit pain made me impenetrable.
Damm I feel you logic , my dad used to say he’s was coming to pick me up , and I’ll wait for my dad for hours til street lights come on. Now , I dont wait on nobody . Maybe I should have this convo with my dad
As much as I wanna wish you the best, broken people only see what THEY'VE been through, never what they did to other people. Tried with my Mom, stepdad(s), friends and other gripey family members ceaselessly venting instead of working towards something. The healthy motivated one always get treated like an outcast.
I had this convo with my mom and she hates hearing of her past and she’s not a bad person or bad mother but she was an aggressive mom she has changed but I’ve told her how I felt and she knows and I feel like we built a stronger bond after that because we were able to relate and forgive
If he did, so what. This is his opportunity to free himself of a truly heavy weight that a lot of people don't get to unburden themselves. The both of them are freeing themselves. His dad is freeing himself of guilt and trying to explain from his point. To free himself of that crack demon takes a strong individual.
i dont think that he in anyway is letting "the money thing slide". i believe that he realized that what he himself needs more than his dad needs the money, is for him to try and view his dad from a different perspective than he has been able to previously (not because he isnt capable of doing so, but because his dad has never (until this point) given him any reasons to be able to see him from a different perspective. what logic recognized, is that he needs to embrace what he views as possibly the only opportunity he might ever have to see his dad in this different light - so that he would be able to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of wanting to help his dad with these particular financial issues (for the reasons logic stated). i think that being able to do this in this way for even just this one time (for all of the financial things he stated hewas going to help his dad with) is as much for logic's own healing, as it is to be able to help his dad for the purpose of helping his brother and his dad's wife. i think that logic understands this might be the only way is going to be able to release himself of the built up resentment towards his dad that he has bared the burden of carrying with with him for far too long. that shits gets really heavy and takes up so much space that could and should be used for healthier and more positive things he wants and can choose for himself to fill that space. he needs to unburden himself from the burden of his dad, that is not his burden to carry, despite being saddled with it all of his life. what this money, and the things he is committing to buy for his dad will actually end up doing to better his dad's life and therefore his brother's and dad's wife's life - only time will tell. but should his dad not take these gifts of help and do his part and run with them and utilize them in the way he expressed he plans to inorder to get himself "back on his feet", well, i think logic will be able to separate himself from it and recognize that that is on his dad, and not on him. i dont feel that he will regret having helped his dad this time despite the outcome, because of the way in which he explained he was able to go into it viewing it differently this time. he will no longer have those built up emotions and burdens come up if it doesnt work out this time, nor will they come up if or when his dad asks him in the future for financial help. he will be able to say no and not have the fact that his dad would even ask him again stir up these lifelong hurts, pain, traumas and resentments that they always have. they will not bring him back to those moments as a little boy when he would sit and wait for his dad that would never come. maybe his dad will prove that he is worthy of his son's decision to help him in the ways in which he is going to this time....and that will just be icing on the icing on the cake for logic, meaning that will be a bonus of what logic will get out of this experience. but if not, if his dad doesnt - logic's gonna be ok, and it wont take away from his own healing and growth of this experience . 😊
Fans will say no but he is he’s basically saying we gonna shine truth on whaat I try rapping about and ima let u chill with some dough that’s exactly how it looks and is
He ain’t a man and I’m sorry to say that. Love your dad the way he should be, but you don’t have to forgive him. I have never felt so relatable to someone’s relationship with their dad til I watched this. I will always love my dad, for he taught me what not to be. I changed my life to be there for my kids, coach baseball, make less money to do so. He couldn’t even show up to ask how I was doing. I still yearn to this day for him to have a relationship with my children, but every time he comes around they have to re-meet him since it’s been so long and so quick. You’re a strong dude Logic, I can’t even explain how much you made me feel for this.
Everybody doesn't deserve forgiveness. His dad is still a selfish mfer. He gloats over the other son and wife. This man told him I love you 15 times in 25 mins... his dad couldn't say it back not one time... trying to make it seem like hes asking for those things so he can pass it down to his child..bs.. He will always hold on to the shyt. Me not forgiving you will keep me from being played in the long run.
I felt it when he said i waited for you on the the corner and you never came… when i saw my father again i cried and i told him where you been all my life and i cried and i couldnt stop and i felt weak but after seeing logic.. im not alone
Hey Logic, just wanted to drop a comment to express my gratitude for doing this interview. Hearing your story resonates deeply with me because we share similar backgrounds and paths to success. I empathize with your journey, and I'm incredibly proud of you for opening up like this. It's inspiring and makes me reflect on my own relationship with my father. Your courage encourages me to consider having that conversation too. Keep shining, man.
I LOVE how you made it an appoint to keep your dad from interrupting you when you spoke about him not being there for you as a young kid. I haven’t had that closure with my father and it was refreshing and real as fuck to see it handled this way.
I appreciate this video to the max. I held a grudge over my absent father and THE DAY before I was convinced to talk to him he passed away on Skid Row in LA. A talented photographer had captured some moments of him in that community and also talked to me about him. She stated that like myself he was a protector of those on Skid Row and often helped individuals get used to the life down there. The fact that we were so alike when it came to others yet we never got to speak to each other is crazy. I commend you for having this conversation 🤞🏽
To the Father, as an addict mother (for many years of my kids' lives), I know how hard it is to respond when you weren't there. You don't even know how to act, bc we've run away from so much. But we must embrace the gifts that our kids and grandchildren give us: a chance to do things right! And our kids have given us their forgiveness. This was so touching. Your son is an amazing man.
The facts that he sat here and told his dad not to talk or even make a move because he’s trying to get it together is the most manly thing ever.!! You did it bro you faced the man you’ve been wanting to face your whole life
The whole not wanting to give your father money, but give him a platform/publishing was so real. Reminded me of this quote that everyone knows; “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
31:12 This is some level of unpacked emotion. Glad you managed to make peace with it. This is something we should all do as fathers or sons. Is have the chance and courage to have a discussion like this.
This was beautiful to watch. As an addict who has been clean since May 18, 2016 I loved hearing your dad speak. He is owning his mess and he’s speaking that real recovery talk. Logic thank you for sharing this with the world. It’s beautiful to see 2 grown men just have a real, honest, vulnerable discussion. The pain that comes with this is the worst but I truly believe the healing of relationships like you and your fathers is a true gift❤
I feel sad that your guys’ trauma and experience has to play out in front of an audience. These are conversations that are hard enough to have alone in a room let alone in front of a whole ass world. There is a lot of anger and resentment still there, which of course there is.. and it’s cool to see you on the path to forgiveness, it’s the real discovery of life. You have not forgive him yet, but there will come a time that you will, and you’ll be free. Appreciate you being so vulnerable, Bobby. I know nothing about you other than you’re a real life example that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.
He doesn't have to forgive at all if he doesn't want to, just to grow and move one for himself. This forgiveness bullshit doesn't always have to push on people with trauma, you can move on without it.
I just want you to know, bro I had the most anger, anxiety, depression, and so much more with my father. This video helped me get through everything. I pretty much cried through the whole thing I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I was crying because I was angry, and I had to get out, I sent this video to my dad damn near after eight or nine years we really started talking. We’re not there yet
And man, I’m trying I’m trying to better myself because that pain that still sits at the bottom of my soul like you said that little boy that was waiting on a street corner that shit fucked me up, bro you don’t know me from Adam. You don’t even have to acknowledge this comment. I just want you to know that this video specifically helped meand my father and that’s the first time that I ever called him my dad or father thank you❤
What courage to sit and unpack something as deep as childhood trauma to your father, and what courage to sit there as a parent and hear how you made your child feel. To come to the table with an open mind and an open heart - that's how we heal our relationships with our loved ones. Mad respect to you both ♥
I’m at work tearing up. I really need to have this conversation with my dad. But I just can’t bring myself to. I have a kid on the way and I can’t imagine putting a kid through the fatherless situation that my dad did. I really feel his emotions. Much love to everyone who grew up without a father and made something out of theirselves.
I have so much damn respect for Bobby. The pain caused by these types of situations is so real for so many people. I really hope you know how much we love and appreciate you brother.
No way I’m just now stumbling upon this… WOWWWWWW CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT KNOW ABOIT THIS PODCAST UNTIL NOW. Thank you so much for being so open with us logic man i love you so much 🥹🥹🥹
This hits hard. My wife (almost 20 years) called her father "Daddy" also. She always looked st him like shes his little girl. When he passed,it was tough. Seeing him say it also hits hard from knowing the depths of love that comes from.
My dad smoked crack too. He put my childhood through absolute hell. He was murdered in 2011. The difference between me and you is I let it destroy me mentally. You let it fuel you. I don't think I'll ever get over the trauma. Glad you rose above it. Much love bro.
Logic you are the man and I’ve listened to majority of your music but just from looking and listening from your dad, he hasn’t changed and will not change. The bridge that you keep building towards a connection with him is going to continually be burned. Love your heart my man.
What a fucking MAN! He grabbed him self by the balls, voiced his pain, made space for himself to feel and was grown enough to be open to his dads perspective. What a fantastic role model! Im 22 saying that.
Logic you are a deep thinker who is emotionally mature and honest to take risks in your life. You are a very brave human being, doing this is very difficult, but I think you will prevail because you are tackling this head on. That's how you grow in life. Good for you Bobby, you should be very proud of that inner child of yours who is guiding you.
Bro you got me crying at work man ! I really do look up to you man , I feel you have truly evolved year after year and again here you are exposing yourself to the world not just with music but this deep personal conversation , thank you for it.
I’ve been there so many times waiting on my father to “get home” or “come pick me up” sitting at my grandmothers house staring out that window wondering if he was ever gonna pull up… till this day my father struggles with his addiction, that he don’t even really know his 2 grandkids. Needless to say I’m thankful for my grandfather showing me how to be a man. He passed away in 2015 and I miss him every day. I’m now 27 years old. Much love for this episode Logic..
99% of people hate their parents. The answer is to forgive them so you can be set free. Everything you do ties you to your parents. You're just like them, therefore have no ground to judge them. you become like what you hate.
Every joke is an insecurity that hasn't been properly addressed. I'm glad to see he's gotten started on his healing journey. You'll see less and less of the quirky jokes about the trauma (napkin) "Daddy loves me..." (39:27) if he can continue down this road. Good luck with it all. It's not easy. When you slip, tell yourself "It gets slippery when it's cold outside, so I better stay warm on the inside."
As a person who’s been through a similar situation, you are 100% correct. Very often, jokes are the best way to work through the pain, and that’s exactly what he did throughout this entire episode
Ngl.. this interview was so authentic and real that it's inspiring me to work through my own parental trauma. When you said "Don't speak, I want you to hear me" those are words I haven't been able to tell my own father. Thank you for showing me and other men how to combat this situation healthily.
Fr. It’s amazing that so many people are saying this should have been private. It clearly wasn’t gonna happen unless it was on camera, bc it never did.
This video is beautiful and it was a perfect example Logic’s growth as an individual. This video made me realize when that as a young adult with a rocky relationship with my father that It’s possible to grow. Gives me hope that my father will change one day and mature the way Bobby’s did.
Logic is beyond real for this one. On his mature tip for sure. All the things I never got the chance to say to my dad. His addictions ultimately k*lled him. RIP Duck. Miss you like crazy old man…
There aren’t enough mature people in these comments to understand that his dad is talking recovery and he is healing. A lot of people think he needs to get on his knees and say sorry while sobbing, the guy is actually apologizing but, a lot of people don’t hear it because they only hear themselves. I’ve lived this exact story and as a man I’ve forgiven my dad and I’ve let myself heal. The healing was my responsibility.
This is a great pod. I cut my dad out because he wouldn't stop overstepping boundaries, he died before we could mend that relationship. Congratulations on repairing your relationship Bobby.
Imma keep it real with you, Logic. Bobby, this wasn't a conversation, it was an airing of family grievances. I got to give your pops credit, he sat through a brutal beating that you gave him in a very public format. I would issue a little bit of caution in how much you use the term "safe space." I don't actually think you created a safe space here. And as much as you talked about your conversation wanting to be fun, it wasn't that much fun either. It was pretty brutal to watch. I'm so excited that you're wanting to do podcasting and if you keep bringing awesome and real stuff like this, I'm going to keep watching you. But as somebody who's worked in mental health for two decades, this wasn't as much a conversation as it was you making sure the world hears what you came through and your problems that you lived through and how your dad contributed to all those nasty things that happened to you. In essence, you call him out on a lot of s***. A lot of s***. And the rest of your family. If you've ever had strained relationships with your family members, they're going to watch this and it's probably going to get worse. Maybe this is part of your own healing process and for that I respect it, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed listening to this. I got to learn a lot about you. And now I'm a bigger fan than ever. Good luck, and I hope things go well for you.
This hits home, I didn't know my Dad till I was 21, meet him at his Father's funeral, a month after my Son was born, I was troubled until that time, I relized then I had to quit doing drugs and too get out of trouble for my Son, I wrote for 15 years not being able to perform my music, I've been clean 5 years now, I'm now able to perform I released 250 songs over the last 2 months, my ex is still in the life I had to separate myself to get better, I still see here and help her but it hurts, I do this all to be here for my Son when he needs me the most ! And that's what's real ! I made a slide show for a class project in a college course just before my Dad passed, i couldnt help to think how my Sons life was going much like the childhood you had, and your music helped me through this helped me change for the better and i thank you for that.
Man, as a father, and someone who was fortunate to have my pops as my best friend. My heart reaches out to all of you who didn't get the same opportunity as me. I wish I could have shielded your child-hood from all the pain from an abusive or absent parent. I see my daughter and that girl is my pride and joy, and I just can't see how someone could abandon or hurt something so pure and innocent.
Logic, I honestly never knew who you are, I came across a clip of your interview with your dad and instantly felt your pain. As a successful business owner in my family, there's a lot of pressure and it's hard to explain but I appreciate this content and honest sharing. ❤
This week on Logically Speaking, I ask my dad everything I’ve always wanted to.
Bob, the fans are all here.

@@Lonestar_prod other than the ones not dealing with the woke shit
Bobby, you’re a beautiful human being. Thanks for your music and humility
is this old?
“I’m a man of my word today, because you aren’t” how long these words have probably been burned in his head. Real shit bro
it's amazing what parents can teach when they don't mean too. I like drinking but seeing my dad go through alcoholism makes me know what can happen if I let it in to much.
I went through something very similar but my dad just didn’t want to be there. It wasn’t drugs. This brought me to tears. It’s crazy
Yea this hit me hardddddd
This is me to my mom. That’s why I make sure to keep my word to my nephews and nieces
This one hit me so hard.. I am the way I am because my father wasn't.
“This ain’t even me crying, this is me as a child who never got the opportunity to cry” man that shit hits so deep and I feel that
You think?? If it was that deep. You think he’d be monetizing this for views and money?
@@stormb8433you really think he needs the money from this? He’s a multimillionaire dawg he’s not making much from a couple videos
@@stormb8433oh you know Bobby? That’s awesome great to know you know his motives
@@stormb8433gtfo with that bs smh
@stormb8433 just cuz something is monetized doesnt mean its not deep wtf😂😂 you think if they turned that off itd impact a conversation that already happened? thats not how things work buddy💀
Asking your son for 850K after abandoning him is crazy😂😂😂
Did he!? NO way! Thats effed
He must be still on crack
@@davev7108yeah, his dad is a POS deadest scumbag 😂😂
Logic is kinda cringe but on a human level he’s giving a lot of grace towards his dad who didn’t even want to have him and abandoned him once he was born.
And a truck, money to pay rent, to buy a studio and who knows what more...
No surprise after he calls himself being in recovery over a beer 🙄
The way the father can speak about his son being a miracle in front of the child he never took care of is so wild
It's a miracle cause it ain't his.
@@hyacinthus.b Exactly
Called Life man.. It can be hard
Exactly and Logic knows that.
I mean y'all don't know that. It happens.
Man that line “im a man of my word today because you aren’t” bro thats gotta be the deepest line ive ever heard someone say hes been wanting to say that since he was that little boy on the curb waiting for his father
Man I cried real tears when you confronted your pops about not picking you up as a kid, I experienced exactly that. I felt like I vicariously got healing through your conversation, thank you a lot
😂😂😂
I truly am sorry you had to feel that way. Glad you got some sort of healing from this. This was a great interview.
❤❤❤
@@pressurebeats3558only thing funny are them trash ass beats you got
@@pressurebeats3558 what you laughing at? 🤡
Its millions of adults raising kids that used to be kids that still need this conversation with their parents.Most won't ever get to have it so I appreciate the fuck out of this.
exactly dude.
Facts. My dad never recovered. He died like a year or two ago. He was so far removed from my life I can't even pinpoint when he died.
@@denrico777same mine died in 2022 from meth
watching a son break down all the pain from 33 years of waiting is beautiful and sad at the same time a very special father and son moment RATT PACK FOREVER
I have so much respect for Logic, and none for his Dad because you can see he is just letting those words pass him by.
"i'm a man of my word today because you aren't." ... damn brother i had to pause and let that shit breathe, this was all very real and touching. Much love to you Bobby, you're gonna be a great father. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us
Minute?
@@Mayor_Imad33:29
You can tell the dad has not changed at all lol
Thank you for saying this. I said the same thing. The so-called Dad is not genuine. The money aspect in this discussion is really telling lol🥴🤦🏾♀️.
Idk man I can see he could possibly have a changed mindset but you have to remember he was a drug addict for the majority of his life. He may have good intentions but a lot of bad habits and still make a lot of mistakes. Once you get clean, it’s just the beginning it takes along time to repair all the brokenness that addiction caused
I agree that this dad guy is absolutely horrible. I don’t understand why Logic doesn’t see it either.
Sounds like my dad .
@@helgaotto7801logic defo does but that’s not the point. It’s the forgiveness and healing of it that matters. Logic knows the dad isn’t 100 percent but enough for him to be stable with
Peace, love, positivity, experience strength, and hope. I hope to talk with my father like this one day.
♥
"if you don't want to talk about it, then why did you do it", yo that is a true statement, preach man
I can’t imagine watching my dad who wasn’t there for me, fucked up my credit, chose drugs over me and asks me for money gloat about how much his new son changed his life. I’m an only child but that hurt MY feelings. I pray your healing is solid. 💖
It takes a certain level of maturity to not be hurt by this.
Pops ain’t changed, he’s playing the role and saying what logic wants to hear. Pops is a great ACTOR!!!
facts real ppl can see that manipulatuion tactics, pops loving logic spilling all this bullshit out so he can use it against him... Pops is a 60 year old former drug addict narcisist he getting his way he dont feel love or empathy just like a blind person dont see
Y’all some clowns. Y’all don’t know what his intention is. Stop hating and be honest, just say y’all not close with y’all fathers 🤦🏽♂️🤡💯
@@TimmyTOnTheFly You a boy
@@TimmyTOnTheFlystop acting like a lil kid dude. Just projecting your own shit. We can see through everything. His dad may be better than he was but he’s also just looking for a way around just straight up asking for money.
You don’t know this man. And that was so long ago. His father is older than most. You have no idea what he’s been through. He’s clearly changed.
I did this same exact thing with my dad. We spoke for four hours. I prefaced the rules ahead of time. Our talk would be a Socratic discussion: I talk…you listen. You talk…I listen and then we come together and just speak freely. Logic has ALWAYS made vulnerability and being true to yourself cool. Appreciate you, Bobby!
Be lucky you have a dad that listens and doesnt resort to every tactic used by narcisitic parents... My pops does everything but actually listen he just wants to respond and never take in knowledge especially if it effects his ego... i wish i can have a real convo with my pops other than saying yes to the daily chores and talking about what dinner im gonna eat ...
I have done the same around 15 years ago and made peace and we started a new. He apologised and took accountability for his choices. He died last year and I have peace. Everyone if they can should do it.
I wish I did, he died when I was 21, & needed to get things off my chest the most.... 😔
@@realbosstakeai read your personal comment you made about your own situation with your parents, and also read your comment/question you had in response to reading L1F3's comment. i could feel your pain in every word that you wrote - i am so sorry for that pain you carry from the hurt and trauma you have experienced through the dynamic you experience as a child of narcissistic parents.
what i want to share with you is something that took me 38 years to be able to understand about what it was i actually needed in order to start healing, and not allow the father my dad is to me affect who i am as a person, or allow it to change or affect the daughter i authentically am and want to be to him. i am 42 years old now ...and since that moment of enlightenment that i had when i was 38, i have been able to forgive my dad, not for him, but for myself, because the burden i carried with me because of him was not my burden to carry, despite having been plagued with the weight of it for my entire life.
i allowed myself to view my dad and his shortcomings, as well as his inability to understand, acknowledge or accept responsibility or take accountability for the things he has done and said (or not said) that have negatively impacted, hurt, traumatized and damaged me as a person. not because i am making justifications for him, but because i am capable of recognizing that he does not the emotional intelligence that is needed in order for him to be able to recognize or understand these things. he is unaware that emotional intelligence even exists, let alone what it is ...because he has such a low emotional intelligence. i say this not in a condisending way, nor from a place of judgement. i say this from a place of compassion. compassion is favourite human trait. tapping into my "compassion" is allows me to be able to look at difficult things that i otherwise struggle with, from a different perspective that allows me to separate myself in that moment from allowing it to affect me in the personal way that it otherwise would because of being emotionally connected to the situation.
i have compassion for the fact that my father has these shortcomings that are his nacassistic personality traits. those traits stunt his level of emotional intelligence. i am really bad at math - i am right side brained and it just does not come easily to me. my brother is an actual mathematical genius, and yet i at times catch myself counting on my fingers - haha! it is just not my forte, and as an adult, i am ok with that and do not hold it against myself, as i recognize and appreciate all of the strength and gifts i have in other areas, such as my creativity and artistic and musical gifts and skills..etc, etc. we all have strnghts and weaknesses, and those strengths and differences we each hage differ from one another.
unfortunately, some people's weaknesses (aka: traits/areas in life they do not excel in, but instead lack in) really affect others, and not always in a good way, but sometimes (like in your case with your parents), in a very damaging, painful, paralyzing and life altering way.
i know that what it feels like you need and want to be able to have the opportunity to do is to have your dad listen to you and let you speak and express your thoughts, your feeling and especially be able to share with him how the things that he has done and said to you throughout your life had made you feel, how they have damaged you as a person, and how they have affected your life and deprived you of being able to experience your life and have and feel happiness....and i am sure you want for him to feel as little in this conversation as he has made you feel your entire life ...
because these are all very valid and true facts of your experience in your life of having him as your father. i take what you said at "face" value, in that you truly dont feel you could ever have such conversation with your dad because he would not allow it because he would not get it and i stead would somehow do what he does best and somehow twist it around on you and interrupt you and make belittling comments that are in actual fact ridiculous comments that have no connection whatsoever to the topic of your conversation, yet because of the dynamic that has always been with him and you your entire life (the dynamic that he has created being your narcissistic father), his ridiculous way that he talks in circles and deflects with his absurdities and outlandish comments (as narcissists do) immediately bring you to that same place he always does, which are the feelings that shake your confidence in yourself (which is always their goal in order to try and level you so that they can have that false sense of superiority by trying to make you feel less than in any way possible....so stupid and not at all true or at all the case....which they know to be true, but because it is their biggest insecurity, it is why it is the thing they fear most and the reason they will do anything at all costs to avoid having to see themselves for who they truly are if they are in the mirror....which is why they are masters of blowing smoke in mirrors. but it's all an illusion that they have created to keep up the dellusion that is the appearance of how they need the world to see them as....all a rouse to try and overcompensate for how insecure of a person they truly are.
you arent wrong in recognizing you will likely never have that conversation ...and i want you to know that it is ok, because the reason you feel you need to be able to have that conversation and have them understand it and see it and take accountability for alp of it and maybe even apologize....you just think you need to have that and hear that to be able to heal and be ok. but i am telling you dont need them to do or get all of that. you really dont. because at the end of the day, it isnt about them, it is about you. you need them to do those things in order for you to be able to be ok.
why? because that it putting the ball in their court and allowing your healing and growth to be based on their response or reaction....and guess what? they dont get to have that power over you in that way.
how you decide to allow them to affect your ability to heal and let go of the shit that you have carried because of them that is not your shit to carry - that's on you. the childhood trauma you have and have as an adult is NOT your fault. but it is your responsibility as an adult, healing from it all is your responsibility - because the only person that can can do that is you😊💗. that is your responsibility and your power, not your parent's power. dont give them that power....it's something that they cannot take away from you, so dont give them the power by allowing yourself to feel that they should, could or would have any part in your healing....they are the ones that got you into this mess to begin with, so why on earth would you actually need or trust or even remotely want them to have any part in your healing and recovery? trust me when i say that it's you who navigates yourself out of this mess....and i promise you that if you just trust in your intuition and gut...and give yourself the opportunity to at least try and see things in the way that i described....that you will do a damn good job finding your way to the other side of where you are at when it comes to the hold and affect your parents have always had on you and the way it has always affected how you feel about yourself and your life and your choices and your decisions....it will help you separate yourself from being affected by them in hopefully every way, but at the very least, in the ways that matter and mean the most in order for you to begin to heal and starting living your life for you.
i didnt intend for this to be so long....but it just became what it did, and that's ok. i hope that how i am intending for this to be perceived is how it reads and how you perceive it and receive it 😊.

@@realbosstakea ****you DON'T need them to do those things in order for you....
This is something we all need to do with our sons and dads 😢
Cool Logic u my wigga
FAX!
IN PRIVATE.
Unless your dad was a POS lol
I just don’t know how to speak I think all these things I wanna say but when it comes down to saying it in person I just can’t
30 minutes into this… I start to cry because I can relate. My mom was always gone. She was always out somewhere. She always came home with a different guy. Did drugs. Was an alcoholic. I finally left home at 10 years old because I it felt like it wasn’t home. But I always thought to myself why I left at such a young age. No kid deserves to experience cops coming to your house every month. At some point in my life my little brother and I were in the foster home for 3 months. It was a horrible time in my life it felt like I didn’t have a normal childhood so I left. We love you Rob! ❤
I’m sending you love and light❤❤❤
Most women are like that now.
Sorry that was done to you.. you really do deserve better.
Sending love, praying for healing, restoration and deliverence. 🙏🏽
A valuable lesson here is that all the money you could ever hope for will never buy away the pain you received from those you love the most.
"I'm a man of my word today because you aren't" ...I felt this one man.👊🖤
Nulty, made you think didn't it.
I absolutely get that. My dad isn't nearly as bad (action wise not as a person) as logic guy but I will say he rarely never keeps his word. I try my best to keep my word and the times I didn't was because of outside reason but i feel like absolute shit when that stuff happened definitely when it happened to someone i absolutely adore and care for.
I noticed he said Aren’t not weren’t he knows he’s hasn’t changed
I don’t mean to compare myself to anyone but it kills me to see someone like Logic or anyone go through what he has. Addiction isn’t a victimless condition, people around you also get effected by what you do. My heart breaks for young Logic because all he wanted was that moment where his dad honors the promises he made and spend time with his father.
Facts, addiction really fucks up everybody around you as well… But the addicts don’t realise it
@@PhillMac I think lots of them do but the shame almost helps feed the cycle to continue.
@@PhillMac Addicts do know they are hurting everyone around them. They’re just beyond lost and persuade themselves into believing their loved ones are better off without them. Most people who battle addiction have their own traumas they failed to cope with… in the midst of that, they don’t realize in the moment they are causing trauma for the people they care about. But moral of that being…. They are aware of the damage they cause. Addicts just get to a certain point they don’t care for their own lives. It’s hard to expect them to care for others until they get the help they need
Seeing Logic like this reminded me of my own father and I finally coming together and becoming more closer than before after years of not being around and me holding on to so much anger towards him. I respect the hell out of Bobby for this one, it takes a lot of balls to be able to confront something like this
I love how logic is willing to show this side of himself and with his dad. Make himself vulnerable and let us in his life like
90% of artists wouldn’t. Mad respect brother. 🙏🏼
My dad overdosed and I dreamt of having this conversation with him. I told myself it’s going to happen, I’ll be able to open up to him and tell him how I felt being his child. I wish he was still here just so I could’ve had this moment like Logic had with his father.
My dad died the same way, in a basement, OD. Never got to have this conversation myself with him about his abandoning me, didn't know he even loved me until his funeral and hearing about all the years he would talk about me and his pride in me. But the man just never chose to talk to me about it before his death.
So sorry for your loss, hope you’re doing well now
You are the fucking man. It takes a man to open up like that.....Much respect Logic!
Logic been the man since 2015
he didnt have to do this for clout tho
This nasty works
@@LAlingoWhy you say that?
This conversation between Father and Son was absolutely needed.
Yall weird for thinking this is cool logic wann be black so bad it weird
@@RecoCoatesIVHe is blk you are what your father is So what are you saying
@@RecoCoatesIV?? What are you even talking about?
@@RecoCoatesIVyeah it really is. Idk why people wanna be something they’re not. I love being my own race and never would aspire to be someone else ever it’s so weird.
It takes balls of steel to show your vulnerable side while confronting the man who stole your childhood away.
I wouldn't say I'm a diehard fan of Logic as a musician looking through every album and single release, but I'm definitely gonna continue watching your podcast while being able to see how real you are.
From a woman who has suffered as a lil girl who had a unavailable father I can tell you this interview hits differently I’m still trying to understand my feelings of neglect and why they made me feel not good enough and chasing after unavailable men but as we grow up we realize our parents are humans and they make mistakes like everyone else it’s how we learn and grow from them that matter !!
❤
I saw someone say in the comments “you didn’t have to put this on the internet” and i really don’t understand that. We NEED people like this setting this example for us. The comments are full of people who relate to this and I’m one of them. I’m so glad we have someone like logic being real with us like this
See comments saying it’s corny but logic just being real showing his true reality with his pops too his supporters people he love fr
You didn’t have to share this with us and I applaud you for doing so. Takes a real man to be comfortable with showing such emotion and raw feelings. Thank you 🙏
Hes making money out of it
My gf’s older bro is goin down the type of path your dad did.. it is extremely sad and im glad you are puttin it out there to shed some light and show others theyre not alone! Love ya Bobby!!
Bobby is no fool. He knows his Dad is still the same in a lot of ways, BUT he is trying. Bobby has grown so much that he is showing his Dad a kind of dignity that his father never knew. He is teaching his father how to love. My Dad left me when I was young too. Were in touch now and he still has all those flaws but I know he's trying. Many times, the children raise the parents. It may suck, yes..but we can handle it where they couldn't. I love how open and unapologetic he is towards his Dad
The world needs more of this, men being vulnerability. Vulnerability is strength.
The only things in life worth having require you to be vulnerable to get them
No we dont.
@@Abandoned2377a man that’s not scared to open his heart is stronger then the dude that tries to hide his pain
I would go no contact. This is wild. Absolutely no accountability. Your dad's out here and made a WHOLE NEW family and can't even provide for them and comes to you??? What a literal embarrassment.
Yeah, dudes a scumbag with no ability to look ahead in the future.
Good point
Respectfully, if you haven’t been in the same situation then this is an opinion you should probably keep to yourself… you’re entitled your opinion but that’s just rude. Logic himself has forgave his dad and he’s the one in the situation. Have you seen how horrible addiction is? My own father struggles with it and I’ve suffered the effects my whole life. But i could never cut my dad off and go no contact
Damn this is the realest shit ever. So much respect Logic. A lot of people are talking about how his dad looks like he hasn’t changed yada yada..maaan it’s takes a different kind of strength to talk vulnerability with a parent who is addict. Cause you gotta meet them from where THEY are, not from where you are or where you’re coming from. Something I still struggle with when talking to my mom. The fact that you can see your dad slip up with a “I didn’t mean it like that” and still walk him through how it affected you. So beautiful. Congrats to the pops for working through a lifetime of regret and facing that shit up close. It’s hard.
Totally with you here ❤
For the culture, for men, for mental health, and for the world, this is so amazingly huge. Thank you for being vulnerable and showing other people that you can still be a man, a leader, and a visionary, and also have some f***ing emotions. Cause we all got em.
Theres no pain like a father making a promise and breaking it. Waiting up because they are coming to get you and they never show up. The callus from that bullshit pain made me impenetrable.
Damm I feel you logic , my dad used to say he’s was coming to pick me up , and I’ll wait for my dad for hours til street lights come on. Now , I dont wait on nobody . Maybe I should have this convo with my dad
It's crazy I had it with a not so understanding dad and it went really bad so be careful whn u open the door
I have, it usually ends up in a fight. Sometimes it takes time for the person to hear what you have to say until then it’s best to just step away
As much as I wanna wish you the best, broken people only see what THEY'VE been through, never what they did to other people. Tried with my Mom, stepdad(s), friends and other gripey family members ceaselessly venting instead of working towards something. The healthy motivated one always get treated like an outcast.
I had this convo with my mom and she hates hearing of her past and she’s not a bad person or bad mother but she was an aggressive mom she has changed but I’ve told her how I felt and she knows and I feel like we built a stronger bond after that because we were able to relate and forgive
You should before it’s too late and you can’t just call him up and talk.
I can’t call my dad anymore and it hurts 😢
Why does it seem like logic let the money thing slide so he could confront his dad with out him walking out
If he did, so what. This is his opportunity to free himself of a truly heavy weight that a lot of people don't get to unburden themselves. The both of them are freeing themselves. His dad is freeing himself of guilt and trying to explain from his point. To free himself of that crack demon takes a strong individual.
Only way to make a coward like his dad show up - men like that only do something if there is an immediate benefit in it for them
i dont think that he in anyway is letting "the money thing slide". i believe that he realized that what he himself needs more than his dad needs the money, is for him to try and view his dad from a different perspective than he has been able to previously (not because he isnt capable of doing so, but because his dad has never (until this point) given him any reasons to be able to see him from a different perspective. what logic recognized, is that he needs to embrace what he views as possibly the only opportunity he might ever have to see his dad in this different light - so that he would be able to have the opportunity to experience the feeling of wanting to help his dad with these particular financial issues (for the reasons logic stated). i think that being able to do this in this way for even just this one time (for all of the financial things he stated hewas going to help his dad with) is as much for logic's own healing, as it is to be able to help his dad for the purpose of helping his brother and his dad's wife. i think that logic understands this might be the only way is going to be able to release himself of the built up resentment towards his dad that he has bared the burden of carrying with with him for far too long. that shits gets really heavy and takes up so much space that could and should be used for healthier and more positive things he wants and can choose for himself to fill that space.
he needs to unburden himself from the burden of his dad, that is not his burden to carry, despite being saddled with it all of his life.
what this money, and the things he is committing to buy for his dad will actually end up doing to better his dad's life and therefore his brother's and dad's wife's life - only time will tell. but should his dad not take these gifts of help and do his part and run with them and utilize them in the way he expressed he plans to inorder to get himself "back on his feet", well, i think logic will be able to separate himself from it and recognize that that is on his dad, and not on him. i dont feel that he will regret having helped his dad this time despite the outcome, because of the way in which he explained he was able to go into it viewing it differently this time. he will no longer have those built up emotions and burdens come up if it doesnt work out this time, nor will they come up if or when his dad asks him in the future for financial help. he will be able to say no and not have the fact that his dad would even ask him again stir up these lifelong hurts, pain, traumas and resentments that they always have. they will not bring him back to those moments as a little boy when he would sit and wait for his dad that would never come.
maybe his dad will prove that he is worthy of his son's decision to help him in the ways in which he is going to this time....and that will just be icing on the icing on the cake for logic, meaning that will be a bonus of what logic will get out of this experience. but if not, if his dad doesnt - logic's gonna be ok, and it wont take away from his own healing and growth of this experience . 😊
Fans will say no but he is he’s basically saying we gonna shine truth on whaat I try rapping about and ima let u chill with some dough that’s exactly how it looks and is
Exactly! And: GOOD for him! This feels like something that will be healing for many who see this
As someone who has never had a father, this was so emotional. The things I would love to say to my father. Logic you are so incredible.
He ain’t a man and I’m sorry to say that. Love your dad the way he should be, but you don’t have to forgive him. I have never felt so relatable to someone’s relationship with their dad til I watched this. I will always love my dad, for he taught me what not to be. I changed my life to be there for my kids, coach baseball, make less money to do so. He couldn’t even show up to ask how I was doing. I still yearn to this day for him to have a relationship with my children, but every time he comes around they have to re-meet him since it’s been so long and so quick. You’re a strong dude Logic, I can’t even explain how much you made me feel for this.
forgiveness is the first step to movin on
he dsnt hve to fck wit him but he can forgive him so he wont be stuck on shii frm da past
Everybody doesn't deserve forgiveness. His dad is still a selfish mfer. He gloats over the other son and wife. This man told him I love you 15 times in 25 mins... his dad couldn't say it back not one time... trying to make it seem like hes asking for those things so he can pass it down to his child..bs..
He will always hold on to the shyt. Me not forgiving you will keep me from being played in the long run.
@@sinverrette9803he did say he loves him when they hug
I felt it when he said i waited for you on the the corner and you never came… when i saw my father again i cried and i told him where you been all my life and i cried and i couldnt stop and i felt weak but after seeing logic.. im not alone
Just sat here and cried with Logic for the past hour. Couldn't even imagine getting the opportunity to sit down with my dad like this.
Hey Logic, just wanted to drop a comment to express my gratitude for doing this interview. Hearing your story resonates deeply with me because we share similar backgrounds and paths to success. I empathize with your journey, and I'm incredibly proud of you for opening up like this. It's inspiring and makes me reflect on my own relationship with my father. Your courage encourages me to consider having that conversation too. Keep shining, man.
I LOVE how you made it an appoint to keep your dad from interrupting you when you spoke about him not being there for you as a young kid. I haven’t had that closure with my father and it was refreshing and real as fuck to see it handled this way.
I appreciate this video to the max. I held a grudge over my absent father and THE DAY before I was convinced to talk to him he passed away on Skid Row in LA. A talented photographer had captured some moments of him in that community and also talked to me about him. She stated that like myself he was a protector of those on Skid Row and often helped individuals get used to the life down there. The fact that we were so alike when it came to others yet we never got to speak to each other is crazy. I commend you for having this conversation 🤞🏽
Logic threw his Dad under the bus throughout this whole interview 😂😂😂
Straight shitted on him 😂😂😂
His dad shitted on him his entire life even as a helpless child Logic deserve to shit on that man😂
@@let6me1gun7itlmfaooooooooo was coming at his dome with disrespectful haymakers
Corny asf
he thru dat nibba frm the ROOoooooooF
To the Father, as an addict mother (for many years of my kids' lives), I know how hard it is to respond when you weren't there. You don't even know how to act, bc we've run away from so much. But we must embrace the gifts that our kids and grandchildren give us: a chance to do things right! And our kids have given us their forgiveness.
This was so touching. Your son is an amazing man.
The facts that he sat here and told his dad not to talk or even make a move because he’s trying to get it together is the most manly thing ever.!! You did it bro you faced the man you’ve been wanting to face your whole life
ur a weirdo lmao
@@midasmusa3660nothing weird about what he said
@@midasmusa3660 bruh I'm like am I trippin or does this look crazy
Yes, he held his dad hostage on camera because his dad wants money. That's so brave
Nothing you said is anything close to manly real men dont out their business on the internet to disrespect their fathers
The whole not wanting to give your father money, but give him a platform/publishing was so real.
Reminded me of this quote that everyone knows; “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
Vulnerability saves the world. ❤
31:12 This is some level of unpacked emotion. Glad you managed to make peace with it. This is something we should all do as fathers or sons. Is have the chance and courage to have a discussion like this.
I probably won’t have a real relationship with my father, but he gave me life at least. This gives me inspiration.
This was beautiful to watch. As an addict who has been clean since May 18, 2016 I loved hearing your dad speak. He is owning his mess and he’s speaking that real recovery talk. Logic thank you for sharing this with the world. It’s beautiful to see 2 grown men just have a real, honest, vulnerable discussion. The pain that comes with this is the worst but I truly believe the healing of relationships like you and your fathers is a true gift❤
I feel sad that your guys’ trauma and experience has to play out in front of an audience. These are conversations that are hard enough to have alone in a room let alone in front of a whole ass world. There is a lot of anger and resentment still there, which of course there is.. and it’s cool to see you on the path to forgiveness, it’s the real discovery of life. You have not forgive him yet, but there will come a time that you will, and you’ll be free. Appreciate you being so vulnerable, Bobby. I know nothing about you other than you’re a real life example that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.
He doesn't have to forgive at all if he doesn't want to, just to grow and move one for himself. This forgiveness bullshit doesn't always have to push on people with trauma, you can move on without it.
@@nxrth9463 I didn’t say he had to… if you don’t forgive then you’ll carry the weight for the rest of your life. Logic def is tryna forgive his pops.
I love Bobby Boy forever !!!! He's always teaching & guiding all of us!! As long as we got Logic, we all going to be alright!
"what do I say when they ask why do I speak about it? I say why'd YOU do it?" TUFF!
I just want you to know, bro I had the most anger, anxiety, depression, and so much more with my father. This video helped me get through everything. I pretty much cried through the whole thing I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I was crying because I was angry, and I had to get out, I sent this video to my dad damn near after eight or nine years we really started talking. We’re not there yet
And man, I’m trying I’m trying to better myself because that pain that still sits at the bottom of my soul like you said that little boy that was waiting on a street corner that shit fucked me up, bro you don’t know me from Adam. You don’t even have to acknowledge this comment. I just want you to know that this video specifically helped meand my father and that’s the first time that I ever called him my dad or father thank you❤
What courage to sit and unpack something as deep as childhood trauma to your father, and what courage to sit there as a parent and hear how you made your child feel. To come to the table with an open mind and an open heart - that's how we heal our relationships with our loved ones. Mad respect to you both ♥
I already know this is gonna be a good one wow
A wild FittsBryce is here.
this feels like a conclusion to everything Logic has been speaking on his records, this was great. thank you, logic.
Sad to say that trauma sucks when you can’t heal from it for years but he’s your father forever and the only father you get
He still knows his dad doesn’t love him! That’s why logic is crying!
Man I respect the hell out of Logic. He's been through some tragic and deep hardships and still finds ways to laugh and be positive and authentic.
I’m at work tearing up. I really need to have this conversation with my dad. But I just can’t bring myself to. I have a kid on the way and I can’t imagine putting a kid through the fatherless situation that my dad did. I really feel his emotions. Much love to everyone who grew up without a father and made something out of theirselves.
god i love how open, raw and honest bobby always is. its okay to be vulnerable and have real conversations to the people who care about and love
I have so much damn respect for Bobby. The pain caused by these types of situations is so real for so many people.
I really hope you know how much we love and appreciate you brother.
No way I’m just now stumbling upon this… WOWWWWWW CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT KNOW ABOIT THIS PODCAST UNTIL NOW. Thank you so much for being so open with us logic man i love you so much 🥹🥹🥹
To each individual child, you only have one chance to be a father. One chance to do it right.
This hits hard. My wife (almost 20 years) called her father "Daddy" also. She always looked st him like shes his little girl. When he passed,it was tough. Seeing him say it also hits hard from knowing the depths of love that comes from.
Is it really that strange to call your father Daddy?
He don’t like being called daddy he laughs so uncomfortably 😂
He’s lucky to even be called that lmfao
“I’m a man of my word because you weren’t” broke me!
My dad smoked crack too. He put my childhood through absolute hell. He was murdered in 2011. The difference between me and you is I let it destroy me mentally. You let it fuel you. I don't think I'll ever get over the trauma. Glad you rose above it. Much love bro.
Logic you are the man and I’ve listened to majority of your music but just from looking and listening from your dad, he hasn’t changed and will not change. The bridge that you keep building towards a connection with him is going to continually be burned. Love your heart my man.
What a fucking MAN! He grabbed him self by the balls, voiced his pain, made space for himself to feel and was grown enough to be open to his dads perspective. What a fantastic role model! Im 22 saying that.
but the thing is he sounded like a 5 year old girl while speaking
@@realbosstakeaso the fuck what! He was crying, having a heartfelt moment and conversation! You a clown 🤦🏽♂️🤡💯
@@realbosstakeain what terms 💀
@@BestInPlayzDude probably just saying that cause of Logic saying daddy
@@XXavv yea maybe lmao
i never met my father, but when i will, i hope i have the strength to confront him. thank you for doing this Logic. bravo!
“I love you crack daddy” -Logic
Why? 😂
lol should be the title of his next song
Logic you are a deep thinker who is emotionally mature and honest to take risks in your life. You are a very brave human being, doing this is very difficult, but I think you will prevail because you are tackling this head on. That's how you grow in life. Good for you Bobby, you should be very proud of that inner child of yours who is guiding you.
Logic is messed up deep down. Shit hurts knowing I have a young son. Thanks for the emotional words man. I’ll never let my son feel this.
Shout out to Logic for having the balls to do this on camera and share it with everybody, I enjoyed every minute of this podcast. ❤
Couldn't agree more.
Bro you got me crying at work man ! I really do look up to you man , I feel you have truly evolved year after year and again here you are exposing yourself to the world not just with music but this deep personal conversation , thank you for it.
His dad is like stfu and write me that check Bobby 😂
Logic’s dad gives me hope for my dad who struggles with the same addiction… i pray for anyone suffering with such a horrible disease
I’ve been there so many times waiting on my father to “get home” or “come pick me up” sitting at my grandmothers house staring out that window wondering if he was ever gonna pull up… till this day my father struggles with his addiction, that he don’t even really know his 2 grandkids. Needless to say I’m thankful for my grandfather showing me how to be a man. He passed away in 2015 and I miss him every day. I’m now 27 years old. Much love for this episode Logic..
The way that I have tears right now and his papa doesn’t just gives me mad (hurt) daughter feels
I feel like he’s just there seeing dollar signs, not really feeling and hearing what he’s saying. Makes me so sad
@@Loganm0213me too he so full of it
This the content the people need. God bless you Bobby.
99% of people hate their parents. The answer is to forgive them so you can be set free. Everything you do ties you to your parents. You're just like them, therefore have no ground to judge them. you become like what you hate.
99%????!!
@@colinmunro3266 i would almost say 100%. it's the most common problem people have. i would go into detail but yea...
@@greybridgewater interesting, I don’t know anyone who hates their parents!
Love that! "My wife is my rock". Completley agree, the same for me))) Behind every strong man there is a strong woman))))
Every joke is an insecurity that hasn't been properly addressed. I'm glad to see he's gotten started on his healing journey. You'll see less and less of the quirky jokes about the trauma (napkin) "Daddy loves me..." (39:27) if he can continue down this road. Good luck with it all. It's not easy. When you slip, tell yourself "It gets slippery when it's cold outside, so I better stay warm on the inside."
As a person who’s been through a similar situation, you are 100% correct. Very often, jokes are the best way to work through the pain, and that’s exactly what he did throughout this entire episode
Ngl.. this interview was so authentic and real that it's inspiring me to work through my own parental trauma. When you said "Don't speak, I want you to hear me" those are words I haven't been able to tell my own father. Thank you for showing me and other men how to combat this situation healthily.
Fr. It’s amazing that so many people are saying this should have been private. It clearly wasn’t gonna happen unless it was on camera, bc it never did.
I had that moment with my mother I am waiting for an open conversation with my father
This video is beautiful and it was a perfect example Logic’s growth as an individual. This video made me realize when that as a young adult with a rocky relationship with my father that It’s possible to grow. Gives me hope that my father will change one day and mature the way Bobby’s did.
Logic is beyond real for this one. On his mature tip for sure.
All the things I never got the chance to say to my dad. His addictions ultimately k*lled him. RIP Duck. Miss you like crazy old man…
There aren’t enough mature people in these comments to understand that his dad is talking recovery and he is healing. A lot of people think he needs to get on his knees and say sorry while sobbing, the guy is actually apologizing but, a lot of people don’t hear it because they only hear themselves. I’ve lived this exact story and as a man I’ve forgiven my dad and I’ve let myself heal. The healing was my responsibility.
This is a great pod. I cut my dad out because he wouldn't stop overstepping boundaries, he died before we could mend that relationship. Congratulations on repairing your relationship Bobby.
Imma keep it real with you, Logic. Bobby, this wasn't a conversation, it was an airing of family grievances. I got to give your pops credit, he sat through a brutal beating that you gave him in a very public format. I would issue a little bit of caution in how much you use the term "safe space." I don't actually think you created a safe space here.
And as much as you talked about your conversation wanting to be fun, it wasn't that much fun either. It was pretty brutal to watch. I'm so excited that you're wanting to do podcasting and if you keep bringing awesome and real stuff like this, I'm going to keep watching you.
But as somebody who's worked in mental health for two decades, this wasn't as much a conversation as it was you making sure the world hears what you came through and your problems that you lived through and how your dad contributed to all those nasty things that happened to you. In essence, you call him out on a lot of s***. A lot of s***. And the rest of your family. If you've ever had strained relationships with your family members, they're going to watch this and it's probably going to get worse. Maybe this is part of your own healing process and for that I respect it, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed listening to this. I got to learn a lot about you. And now I'm a bigger fan than ever. Good luck, and I hope things go well for you.
I agree, there was a lot of resentment expressed in a passive aggressive way.
Alot of passive aggressiveness and bitterness for sure
Sometimes the faults of our parents make us better people… even if the experience was painful.
This hits home, I didn't know my Dad till I was 21, meet him at his Father's funeral, a month after my Son was born, I was troubled until that time, I relized then I had to quit doing drugs and too get out of trouble for my Son, I wrote for 15 years not being able to perform my music, I've been clean 5 years now, I'm now able to perform I released 250 songs over the last 2 months, my ex is still in the life I had to separate myself to get better, I still see here and help her but it hurts, I do this all to be here for my Son when he needs me the most ! And that's what's real !
I made a slide show for a class project in a college course just before my Dad passed, i couldnt help to think how my Sons life was going much like the childhood you had, and your music helped me through this helped me change for the better and i thank you for that.
Man, as a father, and someone who was fortunate to have my pops as my best friend. My heart reaches out to all of you who didn't get the same opportunity as me. I wish I could have shielded your child-hood from all the pain from an abusive or absent parent. I see my daughter and that girl is my pride and joy, and I just can't see how someone could abandon or hurt something so pure and innocent.
Logic, I honestly never knew who you are, I came across a clip of your interview with your dad and instantly felt your pain. As a successful business owner in my family, there's a lot of pressure and it's hard to explain but I appreciate this content and honest sharing. ❤
