Joe Budden joins O’Shea Jackson and a legion of critics who are not happy with Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s “Today Was A Good Day.” This week, Logic covered the iconic song during a live set for his YouTube page, though his melodic approach to the record was among the many issues that people took of the song. Now, Joe Budden hopes that the Maryland MC might consider this a sign to drop the microphone forever. “Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” Budden said. “Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”
“And then when we think he can’t get any worse, you have the bright idea of doing an Ice Cube flip,” Budden continued. At this point, the former Slaughterhouse rapper explained that he took issue with Logic’s use of the N-word in the song. “Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second,” he said. Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”
The Root Of Joe Budden’s Issue With Logic
Joe Budden had plenty to say about Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s single. However, his issues with the Young Sinatra rapper go back to 2017 when Logic dropped, “1-800-273-8255.” “I thought that was disgusting, but I could have been wrong,” he explained. “But ever since then, all of that Martin Luther King, ‘We Have a Dream,’ freedom fighter speech shit he be trying to do, I don’t buy it. Now, I can be wrong in that.”
Budden concluded the segment by explaining that Logic’s attempt to connect with different fanbases so blatantly has turned him off from his music. The podcast host explained that it felt too contrived and perhaps, was more about providing Logic with an identity through his persona. “I don’t know where to begin with why I don’t buy it. I think that if you have to do so much pandering to make someone believe it, then I think you’re trying to make yourself believe it,” he said.
