he needs a certain kind of beat too. he cant do everything but even so he is the only genuine poet operating in rap today
The man's been writing since 1998 or so for people beyond himself, so it goes to figure...
For example, one of the constant puns in rap is that Biggie would say very x-rated stuff, which coming out of his mouth, was obviously pause-worthy, but for him to be such a convincing woman (pause) is an obvious extension of the brilliance of his creativity, and likewise for all of his pupils whom he made do that for Kim's debut (Cam, Mase and Jay). Now, if you listen back to some of those old Trina records... It's Logan's flow! And he probably really got his start doing Trina ghostwriting, so by that right, he got a very early start in learning how to write raps from a perspective so divorced from himself... Also, it led to me hyper-analyzing every Rick Ross record to see if it wasn't Logan (I mean, "Hustlin" sounds like it could be SUCH a Gunplay record in retrospect).
