Tbf, although Jay Z is one of the best rappers to do it imo (Top 5 to be exact), I would say he used so many of Biggie’s lyrics that I can’t even consider it paying homage anymore. If he did so for probably his first 2 or 3 albums after Biggie passed then I can respect that as I would say it’s paying tribute. But he does it way too much when he’s already an excellent lyricist.
@@HorrorMoviesNGuns still he's one of them goats. I also kind of didn't like the line in Pound Cake where he was like cake cake cake cake, and then other lines were rhyming cake with cake. Overall the verse is pretty good but those lines r lazy
@@energizr2816 Oh most definitely, I even said he’s still Top 5 for me regardless, but even with lyrics such as that, he does get heavily lazy & don’t even try. And it’s not because he can’t rap anymore because he proved he still got it with 4:44, it’s just something else.
@@shhsrc I know, that's the point. He said he started receiving hate a decade later (2009). The song didn't even come out at the time, so he's basically saying he was getting backlash for it even b4 the song came out
I think people get referencing confused with completely copying or stealing. Think bro just wanted to reference old lyrics from one of his idols and got unnecessary backlash because of it
Two people say the same thing at two seperate dates? Kinda like how you made a video about logic stealing lyrics even though 30 other people already did. Are you copying? Dude got 1 line the same out of 1000s.
I feel like it’s pointless to talk about artists stealing lyrics. Intentional or not, at some point, everything is gonna end up the same and no unique concepts will come up
Fr It's like I also can't use the same letters together in a sentence (I used your sentence but changed it, or I'd be accused of stealing the same sentence)
Logic always shows loves to anyone that inspires him. So when he uses lyrics off of other rappers lines. He just makes it into his own by saying it differently in a better flow. So it’s not “stealing” if he’s paying homage to the original creator
Logic is my favorite rapper. I think on raw talent he is one of the more skilled rappers out there and I think he has potential to be one of the greatest alive. Bro gets too much hate, especially considering that song (and album- under pressure) was truly remarkable
Look if you're in the music business, eventually someone will say some of you're words. Rock bands take riffs and technique all the time, except they embrace it and actually make an effort to better the community as a whole.
The thing is someone like Logic knows he can't get away with just straight up stealing lyrics without people noticing so I just view it as he's paying homage, because Eminem has done that exact thing himself
You can take any artist that’s blown up within the last 5 years, take any of those songs, pick any line and you could find someone else who’s said that exact same thing, recycled garbage. Logic been the goat since the early 2010s
"And that was called recycling Or rereciting Something 'cause you just like it So you say it just like it Some say its biting But I say its enlightening"- What Wayne said on Dr Carter.
Logic is a fanboy rapper. He doesn't reallt steal but he gets inspiration from many different artists and it bleeds through his albums and songs. Not just artists but even movie directors like Quentin Tarantino like Bobby Tarantino. He's literally known for this.
I feel like there is a difference between “stealing” lyrics and showing homage, as long as it’s not a repetitive word for word grab, it feels different from steeling.
The thing is when an artist fucks with another artist heavily, they expect everyone else to know that artists music as much as they do.. Logic wasn't stealing he just assumed people would've already known what that bar was from.
It’s not even homage. It’s a sentence. A common saying. There’s not a lot of ways to even fit the topic of that without saying it exactly like that. Just try rhyming it but with a different sentence. Besides very small one word changes it’s not really possible. People are stretching it.
I believe it was Hemmingway that said "Good artists create, great artists steal." Its all about how you use it, and put your own spin on it. Its unbelievably hard to say anything that hasnt been said before, but i think Logic's use was fine. At worst, its just a reference to one of his favorite rappers.
@@xxtmntxxrae4544 No em just sounded so much more natural and just better. Logic is like that he's good but you can't beat the og unless he's as amazing but nah
@@xxtmntxxrae4544eminems delivery was definitely better. And I like logic more than like 80% of people, compared to logic haters I probably sound like a fanboy
There’s only so many ways to say the same thing and they both did it great just in different ways. Stop this who did it better bullshit they’re both legendary rappers
Thing is if u are into rap in stuff there are people like to use there lyric for inspiration or even for writers block to get it going u got to think there are more songs in people in this world
Even if Logic stole this line. Stealing an average bar for a song that turned out to be 9 minutes long really doesn’t mean much bc the song is so long.
dawg u really did him wrong with the title 🤦🏽♂️ but obviously Em did it better, he ain’t steal it he just inspired from it (many rappers have done the same)
I can’t stand how artists can just completely get away w stealing lyrics by saying “o ya I was just inspired by that other artist” like ok so what ? It’s like when ppl would like blow up someone’s car and be like “brooo chill it was a prank”
I hate all the people that use the word “stealing” when someone pays respect to another artist. Eminem gave props to logic and invited him on stage in Hawaii. If they aint upset why are yall.

he had a rap scheme going and said blowing up like human combustion, wouldn’t consider that stealing
True, he coulda thought a little more creatively though 😂

“All artists steal from other artists”
This isn’t that big of a deal, just let people be influenced & stop giving them shit
Literally ever modern rap song has been inspired by past song/ artist. It's just how people influence people
I personally don’t really care, it’s one bar and they are both good lines
That’s not stealing lyrics, thats respecting the OG crafts.
He probably didn't mean to steel EMs lyrics he probably just did it to pay homage to Em
Eminem with no explanations guaranteed

No logic slander will be tolerated here.
Really spontaneous human combustion is so used in hip-hop and pop culture
"And that was called recycling
Or rereciting
Something 'cause you just like it
So you say it just like it
Some say its biting
But I say its enlightening"-
What Wayne said on Dr Carter.
“The greatest artists are the ones that notice”
Logic is a fanboy rapper. He doesn't reallt steal but he gets inspiration from many different artists and it bleeds through his albums and songs. Not just artists but even movie directors like Quentin Tarantino like Bobby Tarantino. He's literally known for this.
Drake stole lyrics from Eminem 2 years ago aswell 💀 this isn’t uncommon
Bro is trying to create tension especially at the end
Never heard of this rapper until today...
Can't we just appreciate both instead of being negative and trying to devide people
Rappers use other rappers lines all the time he literally said he was inspired by em.
logic made it better, but if not em he wouldnt do this plus he did it later that em
Obviously the person who owns the lines
I feel like there is a difference between “stealing” lyrics and showing homage, as long as it’s not a repetitive word for word grab, it feels different from steeling.
They have a song together so em is obviously chill with it
Okay as a rapper myself i honestly believe if your able to spit it and it sounds good it doesn't matter
Why is this a problem? Because you made it one.
To be fair it couldn’t be that deep since Logic and Eminem did a sing together not long after and it BANGS
I think it'd be ok tho because logic and em are friend they have done collabs before
"Ayyo who's arm is this? I guess slim cut it off at the pharmacist" he stole that one to. 😂
Yes, Eminem invented human combustion.
both are good either way and as far as I know em and logic don't hate each other
There is a difference between stealing and being inspired, changing things up, samples, etc.
ONE LINE?! It sounds like it fits perfectly with the rhyme scheme and the flow of the song.
The thing is when an artist fucks with another artist heavily, they expect everyone else to know that artists music as much as they do.. Logic wasn't stealing he just assumed people would've already known what that bar was from.
That’s not even a real question 🤦🏾♂️
math ain't mathing bro logic dropped under pressure in 2014
people always been hating on logic but under pressure and everything he put out before that has solidified him as a top 10 for me
bro I want no backlash but to be honest, logic did better
It’s not even homage. It’s a sentence. A common saying. There’s not a lot of ways to even fit the topic of that without saying it exactly like that. Just try rhyming it but with a different sentence. Besides very small one word changes it’s not really possible. People are stretching it.
Wait till they hear about jayz😂
Hell no, it's obvious Eminem's fucking better.
i don’t get why ppl get so pressed about words, he’s literally just saying a few words not using ems entire song
I believe it was Hemmingway that said "Good artists create, great artists steal."
Its all about how you use it, and put your own spin on it. Its unbelievably hard to say anything that hasnt been said before, but i think Logic's use was fine. At worst, its just a reference to one of his favorite rappers.
Every artist always has someone claiming that they stole they shit anyways regardless if they did or not🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I love logic, but I have to say no one can beat that classic high-pitched, Eminem voice
Em definitely did it better
Are you saying that because he did or because you don’t like Logic? Hoping I don’t come off as a crazy Logic stan lol, just curious
Yeah

Happens all the time with every single rapper lmao
didn’t realize eminem created and put a patent on the phrase “blowin up like spontaneous human combustion”
There’s only so many ways to say the same thing and they both did it great just in different ways. Stop this who did it better bullshit they’re both legendary rappers
I wouldn't consider a few words
as stealing lyrics
This guy is always givin some weird accusations
Thats an awfully hot coffee pot
People need to understand that there is a finite number of words amd combinations of those words. There's gonna be some overlap.
Thing is if u are into rap in stuff there are people like to use there lyric for inspiration or even for writers block to get it going u got to think there are more songs in people in this world
Y'all are always trying to throw dirt on Logic. The man is just doing what he loves, why must he be hated for that
em. end of case
Why does everyone have to hate this man he’s a genius in the music industry.
Logic didn't really steal it but he still did it better
It’s called inspiration 💀 he looks up to em
It's called paying homage
He's literally just paying homage to em
That really wouldn't surprise me.
Even if Logic stole this line. Stealing an average bar for a song that turned out to be 9 minutes long really doesn’t mean much bc the song is so long.

Everyone always hating on logic 🤦🏻♂️
They're friends though...
It’s called paying homage and rappers do it litterally all the time
Logic gets way too much hate his production and flows are great
Yall digging way too deep. Bro shows love and pays homage to his peers and artists before him in damn near every song. Leave the man alone
I love how people who have no clue about the roots, system and culture of hip hop are always the first to report dumb ass claims like this.
There is no question it’s obviously Eminem😂
I can’t stand how artists can just completely get away w stealing lyrics by saying “o ya I was just inspired by that other artist” like ok so what ? It’s like when ppl would like blow up someone’s car and be like “brooo chill it was a prank”
Rappers shout out other rappers bars all the time.. especially if its well known.
Same thing with his XXL freestyle. Been a while since ive heard it but I’m fairly sure it has lyrics that aren’t originally his lol
Someone has never listened to a logic mixtape
Logic copies literally every artist man cmon this isn’t even news. From lyrics to adlibs, this ain’t no secret.
Logic when kendrick😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😫😫😫😫😫😫😈😈😈😈😈🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼
Bro logic is literally known for having a similar flow to Eminem this was bound to happen💀
Its probably paying homage
I hate all the people that use the word “stealing” when someone pays respect to another artist. Eminem gave props to logic and invited him on stage in Hawaii. If they aint upset why are yall.
You can say the same about Kendrick and J Cole too. Just a few words is a homage not Plagiarism
There are only so many words... Plus logic does this all the time and it seems more like a tribute than stealing it
Didn’t kendrick use a kanye line in maad city or somethin?
yes
we major
remixing songs rappers do that all the time
Logic steals everyones lyrics
