Logic is no stranger to controversy, and he proved it once again last week with his cover of Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day.” While many criticized his rendition, one TikTok user suggested that Logic should release a whole album of covers like this, to which Logic replied, “I thought about doing that. Wouldn’t that be cool?”
It’s been less than a month since Logic released his latest album, College Park, his debut as an independent artist. On March 14, he dropped the video for the album’s track “Shimmy,” featuring Joey Badass. The video, directed by JT Clemente, shows Logic and Joey having a great time in the studio, with animation from Tristan Zammit adding to the fun.
The lyrics of “Shimmy” are all about celebrating success and wealth. Logic raps, “Fck how you feel, I’m breakin’ the seal. Just got out my deal, I’m keepin’ it real.” The hook is just as bold: “Shimmy, shimmy, yeah, btch, I get money like ODB / Shimmy, shimmy, yeah, I’m finally eatin’ good, no EBT.” Joey also joins in the fun, referring to himself as “Himothy” and reflecting on his climb “from EBT to BET.”
Despite any negative feedback, Logic remains true to himself and his music. He previously shared an important and poignant perspective on cyberbullying. In a world where criticism and hate are rampant, it’s refreshing to see an artist who doesn’t let it get in the way of his art.
