During a sit down with VladTV, rapper Logic weighed in on the importance of truth in hip hop and being able to back up the persona you create.
The Maryland emcee finds no problem with Iggy Azalea adopting the persona of a Southern rapper, because he believes she draws her musical inspiration from that genre and therefore honors it by rapping in that way. Logic feels that the persona a rapper takes on isn’t what’s truly important, but rather that the emcee can back up the material they choose to rap about.
