So with that being said, following the release
of Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, let’s
take our third look at Logic’s Fastest Verses
so far.
This is CDTVProductions, and let’s get into
the video.
12 - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (Verse
1) - 7.6 SPS
Every single day my heart hurts a little more
when I realise this song has barely any similarities
with the album it shares a name with.
But it doesn’t take away from how solid
this track is, and I actually think it’s
one that I love now even more than when I
first heard it.
Relatable content, sharp flows and a soothing
beat is a great combo for Logic.
11 - Wassup (Verse 2) - 7.7 SPS
So far Big Sean and Logic are 2 for 2.
Alright is one of my favourite songs from
Under Pressure, and sure enough Wassup is
one of my top ones from Bobby Tarantino 2.
Big Sean doesn’t quite hit the peaks of
that line on this one, but his verse is really
nice with his run on sentence rapping style,
and Logic follows with quality too, flexing
his recent successes whilst also flexing his
speed rapping ability.
10 - Still Ballin (Verse 1) - 7.8 SPS
Man I would’ve been so happy if this track
featured Castro, now known as Shy Grey, like
the original Ballin, but yeah Wiz Khalifa
works for this song I guess.
I know it couldn’t because Logic and Castro
likely don’t talk much anymore, but the
song is still one of the more solid ones on
Confessions.
Wiz Khalifa goes for one of those more chilled
out, slow burn verses as he’s known to do,
but as you can tell Logic does the exact opposite,
bringing the speed as he typically does with
these trap style songs.
9 - **** (Verse 2) - 7.9 SPS
Now I’m not gonna make the same mistake
my twin did with his video on this song, why
didn’t you just replace the I’s in the
song title with lowercase L’s in your tags
and description you idiot.
Coulda saved your monetisation dumb dumb.
So this was the song that finally ended what
I coined as the battle of the biracials, however
one sided Logic and Joyner’s beef was, I’m
still calling it a battle goddamnit.
but I’m glad that they’re on good terms
finally because they gave us a pretty solid
song with this one and I think they do make
a pretty good collaborative pair.
8 - 44 More (Verse 1) - 8 SPS
I remember way back when this dropped and
it had pretty much everyone hyped.
It was the first single Logic released after
Everybody, which it’s safe to say was sorta
divisive.
I guess you could say it received a mixed
reception, haha biracial joke let’s move
on.
Then Logic dropped this track, where while
he wasn’t saying too much that was crazy
lyrically, what he was doing was just riding
the trap style production in the smoothest,
most confident way he could.
Very much akin to Flexicution with what it’s
going for.
It was definitely the best choice for the
lead Bobby Tarantino 2 single.
7 - Gone (Verse 1) - 8 SPS
This is the only pre-2018 track on this list,
and it’s from the 2013 XXL Freshman class
mixtape, a pretty cool idea which XXL just
kinda forgot about after 2014.
It’s interesting cause to me, this sounds
so much like a 2011 Young Sinatra 1 track,
and I thought it might’ve been something
from those recording sessions at first.
But the lyrics make it very clear that this
was written and recorded in 2013, as Logic
often references his record deal with Def
Jam on here, letting his fans know it won’t
change how he operates artistically.
And clearly that’s true, to this very day
Logic and his label both seem pretty happy
with each other.
6 - Homicide (Verse 1) - 8.3 SPS
If there’s one thing Logic absolutely nails
on this track, it’s the way he jumps into
this verse with one of his most natural sounding
high tempo flows yet.
He doesn’t really disengage for a second
during this verse, and this even continues
on the very fast hook which might actually
be close to this verse in terms of speed,
perhaps even surpassing it.
(Ok so I just counted it right now and yep
the hook is 8.5 syllables per second).
Everything about this song is pure speed.
While I’m not the biggest fan of Logic’s
lyrical performance here, it’s the perfect
song if you wanna hear a track that never
really lets up with its pace, from the second
the beat drops in to the second it drops out.
5 - Lost In Translation (Verse 1) - 8.4 SPS
So I’ve said this like 3 times before but
why can’t all the other songs on Confessions
Of A Dangerous Mind be in the same vein as
this one and the title track?
The way logic just elegantly glides into that
first verse like he’s a biracial Pegasus
or something is absolutely beautiful, if there’s
one thing I can’t deny, it’s that he’s
definitely at the peak of his speed rapping
talent right now.
It’s so polished and his enunciation is
mostly perfect.
I guess you could say, his flow doesn’t
at all sound Lost In Translation.
I don’t even think that fully made sense
but just roll with it.
But yeah this is easily a top 3 song from
Confessions, not just due to the flow but
the lyrics are slick as well, the beat is
so relaxing, all the elements work together
to make an excellent song.
4 - ICONIC (Verse 1) - 8.6 SPS
I mean, with that incredible performance from
Jaden Smith on this song, just firing out
bars like his life depended on it, how could
Logic not rap with some quickness on here?
Just more proof that featuring a goat on your
song will make you perform even better.
Now I’m not gonna lie, I do enjoy this song,
but I feel like it was a strange one to put
on Young Sinatra 4.
The first half uses some elements of Icon
by Jaden instrumentally, mainly with the drum
pattern, although I guess the other instruments
do have a bit more of that old school vibe
to them.
Regardless, Logic’s verses are as solid
with flows as usual, and the first verse is
pretty damn non-stop.
Logic doesn’t pause to breathe much, resulting
in his 4th fastest verse on here.
3 - Mama (Verse 1) - 8.8 SPS
Here we have what many consider to be the
highlight track from Confessions Of a Dangerous
Mind, and that’s something I can’t disagree
with.
It still has a fair few of the filler bars
and rhymes Logic has been known to be fond
of, but the non-stop flows and the way the
vocals are pitched and cut in a creative way
absolutely knock this one out the park.
But speaking of the vocals being cut up, I
was kinda conflicted with this one when counting
it, because I wasn’t sure if I should include
the part where he says “Ballin” 4 times
in a row as it was most likely just an edit
done in post production.
But the way I see it, I’ve counted when
rappers have punched in or used similar editing
techniques in the past, hence I did decide
to add that to the syllable count.
Otherwise it would be 8 syllables per second,
so I guess this a rare instance where you
can decide what you think the count should
be.
2 - The Glorious Five (Verse 2) - 8.9 SPS
The Glorious Five for me is at the very least
a top 3 song from Young Sinatra 4, it’s
easily the one that I revisit the most from
that project.
Whereas most of the album sounded more like
a tribute to the first 3 mixtapes, this one
legitimately sounded like something that could’ve
been on the original Young Sinatra trilogy.
The production, the chorus, the way he flows,
everything has the classic Logic sound.
The content is great too, hearing him talk
about how his lack of a father figure during
his childhood (that very same father figure
who spawned Logic from his *****) has inspired
him to be the best dad he can be when that
time comes around is pretty heartwarming.
And the fast verse here is solid too, it’s
so slick and just pops up out of nowhere.
I really do love this song.
1 - 100 Miles And Running (Verse 4) - 10.7
SPS
And here we have it.
Not only is this the first time that Logic
has went past the 9 syllables per second mark,
but it’s the first time he’s shot right
past that to get over the 10 syllables per
second mark.
Now this verse technically existed for a while
as a freestyle that Logic did at live shows,
referred to as the Jack the Ripper freestyle.
However because it wasn’t an officially
released song, it didn’t meet my criteria
for these lists.
Eventually though, when YSIV dropped Logic
actually put the verse at the end of his song
100 Miles And Running making it eligible to
finally be included on this list.
And it is very impressive.
It’s one of the few cases where I don’t
mind that the lyrics don’t exactly mean
anything, because as Logic says, he put it
together just to test how fast he could really
go.
And so there we have it, 100 Miles And Running
contains the fastest verse on this list, and
the fastest Logic verse overall
so far.
