[00:01.132] Ayo, for real, look, let me just say this
[00:03.138] I wanna say I love Def Jam, Def Jam changed my ****ing life
[00:06.613] There's definitely some ****boys in that building
[00:08.945] Some suits wearing ties and shit
[00:11.507] But it's some real good-ass ****ing people man
[00:14.134] Steve Bartels, Faisel, Jeff
[00:16.606] ****ing Justin Duran, Dave Bell
[00:19.752] Chris Atlas, David Amaya
[00:23.403] I could ****ing go on bro, Lory, Peter, Kate and Gabe
[00:27.360] We gon' get into the rest later, man, but I ****ing love y'all
[00:30.199] Let's get to this shit, here we go
[00:31.017]
[00:31.511] This my Friday Night Lights, track nineteen
[00:34.200] From major to independent, as sightseen, my Ultralight Beam
[00:37.197] I ain't finna go into the discrepancies of my deal
[00:39.667] Like the millions that y'all owe me, I gotta audit y'all for real
[00:42.479] But you changed my life, that's my word
[00:44.591] Took a young kid out of Gaithersburg, and you'll never know
[00:47.841] What it means for a kid in his teens and his entire team
[00:50.533] To go from open mics to actually living they dreams
[00:53.222] This a "thank you" to the people in the building
[00:55.091] For helping me build the empire that I'm still building
[00:57.779] Diddy said a rapper only gets five years, we double that
[01:00.739] Independent now, won't double back
[01:02.906] I rep the BMG, yeah, I'm the Big Money Getter
[01:06.070] **** the pop shit, remember Logic as a spitter
[01:08.495] Just a kid having fun when I step to the mic
[01:11.111] That's why I never understood the hate I get when I write
[01:13.804] Back when posting new songs on Internet rap forums
[01:16.599] All the way to talking shit first night I sold out The Forum
[01:19.946] But they hated Jesus, homie
[01:23.009] I ain't comparing, I'm just reasoning, homie
[01:25.229] I'm just tryna set an example
[01:26.835] I went pop and made millions, now all I do is chop samples
[01:30.501] Egon's finest, peanuts after like I was Linus
[01:32.867] Followed by that College Park next, that's the line-up
[01:35.649] First album, the EP was No I.D
[01:38.137] Last album, the executive producer is me, I'm set free
[01:43.786] Sayonara
[01:44.576]
[01:46.119] So the crazy shit is right, like, when we was shopping deals
[01:50.163] Mike, Mike Caren over at Atlantic, he offered me a deal for thirty grand
[01:54.132] I was like **** no, hahaha, shoutout Mike, though
[01:58.340] Some independent label offered us one-point-five, and we was like nah
[02:02.322] But Def Jam hit me up, you know what I'm saying
[02:04.725] Noah pressed my A&R for ten ****ing years, bro
[02:08.895] He linked me with No I.D., man, and I was like, "Yo, No I.D.?
[02:13.279] That's Ye, that's Ye, that's Common, homie - how could we not?"
[02:17.127] And we signed a deal, we inked that shit up, bro
[02:19.864] Maurice Frazier, Lisa Bronson, Jason Peerless
[02:24.321] ****ing Liza, Nakeisha, Mario, Ryan
[02:29.371] Cordon, I could go on

[02:33.685] Ian, you mother****er with the samples
[02:36.036] Ian be listening to shit that ain't even a sample
[02:38.507] He's like, "This shit's a sample"
[02:39.615] I be like, "Ian, shut the **** up, bro"
[02:41.865] I love y'all, Antoinette, Donna, Jamie, Stephanie

[03:02.397] I remember seeing a Britney Spears ****ing plaque
[03:06.684] She went ****ing diamond
[03:07.749] I asked Chris Zarou, my manager at VMG
[03:09.482] I said, "What the **** is diamond? ", he said, "Bro, ten times platinum"
[03:12.883] I'll never forget I said never, bro, "Never, I'm not gonna go diamond"

[04:29.599] Tour Marketing, Albert, Albert Cook
[04:33.762] Shervah Edwards, video, oh, Millie, gotta love Millie
[04:37.822] Millie was always on the sets like
[04:40.952] "Alright, make sure the Red Bull can is exactly in front of the shot"
[04:44.916] I was like, "Millie, get the **** out of here"

[04:54.968] Deborah at the sample team, I ****ing love you, Deborah
[04:58.110] I don't even gotta say your full name, you are a goddess
[05:02.010] Nicole Pastine (And of course the homie Xavier)
[05:05.367] Rapping is my passion, I love y'all, man, look
[05:07.615] This what I'ma say about Def Jam, look, man
[05:09.280] We had some ups and downs, you know what I'm saying
[05:11.671] My first album, I was getting sued by some ****boy
[05:15.665] And y'all was tryna get me to change my name and shit
[05:18.182] I spent my whole ****ing career, this who I was
[05:19.853] Y'all trying get me to change my name
[05:22.149] Y'all wasn't trying to put out my album so we did the while-you-wait shit
[05:25.420] We went on tour, you know what I'm saying
[05:27.012] But eventually shit worked out
[05:28.406] But even with that, you mother****ers, you know
[05:31.398] You ? me and shit
[05:33.301] And that's what I'll say
[05:34.251] I don't- I really wholeheartedly don't believe that was none of the people I just named, man
[05:38.599] Everybody, I **** with y'all, I rock with y'all
[05:40.658] Any other ****boys behind the scenes, y'all could suck a ****
[05:43.512] Eat my whole ****ing ballsack, man
[05:45.890] This industry is ****ed up
[05:47.448] The wildest shit is I'ma say this man
[05:50.235] This whole industry is musical chairs, yo
[05:52.849] Cats like Steve Bartels, Faisel, Jeff Harleston, man
[05:55.771] They, they the real ones, you know what I mean
[05:58.536] But like mother****ers be so in-and-out, that's why I didn't stay with Def Jam
[06:02.163] I went to Def Jam after ten years on the label, because I owed them that
[06:07.737] I was like, "Okay, so what's up? we signing another deal?"
[06:09.959] They ain't even get back to me in time
[06:11.355] So I went somewhere else and I don't know who butthurt or what
[06:13.356] I could give a ****, man
[06:15.365] All I'ma say is I love y'all who rock with me
[06:18.505] I love y'all who take care of me
[06:19.827] I love y'all who ****ing drove me from New York to Boston to do
[06:24.681] Radio interviews and shit man
[06:27.367] Appreciate y'all
[06:30.199] It's been a, it's been a **** time on this major label shit, you know what I'm saying

[06:39.375] And we've had some good memories
[06:43.105] I love you, I **** with you

[06:58.932] I appreciate all the ****ing millions of dollars that you gave me to make these records, hahahahaha
[07:06.305] Independent shit next
[07:08.780] VMG, VMG, Bobby Boy
[07:12.530] Sayonara
[07:13.468]
[07:28.734] Logic as a rapper is an anomaly, a person who is out of time
[07:34.971] Living in the present you know rooted in the past
[07:37.197] But a traditionalist who believes in the future
[07:40.046] Who believes in what hip-hop was and can still be
[07:44.160] So we're here in this modern time
[07:46.311] Thinking about and listening to the development of hip-hop and it's future all at once
[07:55.139] I think that a lot of people in the modern sense of the word get caught up in how fleeting time is
[08:02.145] And they believe that what's happening right in front of them
[08:05.733] Is the most immediate thing and it's the most meaningful thing
[08:10.449] And they have to engage what's happening in the moment
[08:13.336] Because the moment's gonna be gone and then they're not gonna care
[08:15.988] Or no one else around them is gonna care
[08:18.061] And I think we forget that great experiences in the, in humanity
[08:24.090] Go on for decades, centuries, sometimes millennia
[08:27.407] Before we really know how to make sense of them
[08:30.136] And so, in the same way that the monks in the dark ages were keeping records and saving books
[08:37.351] You know, it is important for us to really make sense of one of Americas great folk musics, and that's hip-hop
[08:45.308] And there's very few people who care enough to actually keep the form going while trying to push it forwards
[08:51.823] Logic's one of those dudes
[08:53.576] And the reason Madlib and I decided that we wanted to work with him
[08:57.327] Is because he came through with a true sincerity and appreciation for the form
[09:03.156] And for all of the people who make it
[09:05.008] And like a true understanding of craft and like, who's doing what
[09:08.910] And how their technique is either important, relevant
[09:13.144] Something that needs to be preserved or what
[09:15.183] And I remind myself that even though hip-hop seems to me
[09:19.692] In my mid forties to be an old thing because it's been around since the early '70s
[09:24.388] It's actually just in its infancy
[09:26.362] And if it's not for people like Logic trying to keep this tradition alive
[09:29.583] We're not really gonna know even shortly after, what's supposed to come
[09:34.662] This hopefully is an art form that's gonna outlast
[09:37.637] All these art forms that preceded it and formed it
[09:40.815] And we're only gonna know that if people who truly have the passion, belief
[09:45.437] And the proficiency, the musical acumen
[09:48.268] To hold the form, hold it dear
[09:51.390] And at the same time, not be so reverent to it and push it forward
[09:55.708] Are there to show us the way
[09:58.104] So hopefully he's one of these dudes, I have that belief
