Logic said he didn’t want to start a beef with 6ix9ine as he was calling out rappers with fake personas.
Musicians have adopted identities over the course of music history in an effort to sell more albums. These fabricated personas have proven popular with music fans because they fit with the characters, whether they project an innocent charm, a sexual vibe, or a figure in peril.
Logic is featured in a brand-new Impaulsive episode that recently dropped. The 32-year-old rapper spoke in-depth about his comeback from retirement, where he gets his motivation, being biracial, using insults, and other issues throughout the conversation. The most notable part of the performance was when Logic called Tekashi’s tracks “fake,” even though the “Young Sinatra” rapper freestyled at one point.
The Maryland artist used a comparison to show how the impact of harsh words on him differs from other rappers who “wear a mask” while talking about receiving hate online and being impacted by other people’s thoughts.
In a recent interview with Impaulsive, Logic cited Tekashi 6ix9ine as an example of an artist creating a false identity to increase their awareness. Logic has had inside access to the business thanks to his flourishing career in the Rap game. “Ninety-nine f**king percent of rappers are a mask, that’s not really who they are. Tekashi 6ix9ine is a prime example,” Logic said. “That’s not my f**king business, I’m not calling Tekashi 69 out. I’m just simply saying when you have these people that are like, ‘I’ll kill you, murder, drugs, this and that,’ When you sh*t on somebody’s music like that, I wouldn’t sh*t on his music, but if there’s somebody out there that says, ‘Oh, his music is wack,’ what they’re really saying is that he’s wack, but he’s like, ‘I don’t give a f**k cause this isn’t even really me.”
“It’s very evident that he puts on this character, especially if you judge based off what he said in court,” he continued. “I ain’t trying to start beef with 6ix9ine… I’m just using an example that there are some rappers out there that are more about a persona and a personification, and because of that, when people sh*t on their music, it doesn’t matter because they’re not really portraying who they are on the record.” “Me, I’m out here talkin’ ’bout changing my son’s diapers and sh*t, so if you say that’s wack or you say all this other sh*t, that’s difficult.”
