Under Pressure Explicit Lyrics - Classic Rock Song for Workout, Relaxation & Road Trips

Debut Albums are always crucial. It's a first impression, that really shows what you are capable of. You look at rappers like Kanye West with his incredible "College Dropout", Jay-Z with his debut "Reasonable Doubt" and even the more recent "G.o.o.d Kid m.A.A.d City" by Kendrick Lamar. All of these albums have set up what is and could be incredible careers for these rappers. Under Pressure by Logic absolutely has the potential to reach some of these highs. Logic has proven himself as a fantastic lyricist, and shown that his music can speak for itself instead of having to rely on gimmicky sounds and weird features.One thing that is immediately noticeable when looking through this album is that, in the standard version of the album, there isn't a single guest feature. Childish Gambino and Big Sean are found on the deluxe edition, but those are just bonus tracks from his cancelled debut EP "While You Wait". Logic proves himself through these first 12 tracks how capable of holding down tracks as he is. Looking at the lead single from the album, also the title track "Under Pressure" the first three minutes are an unstoppable force of nothing but pure lyricism, and one of the most well-produced tracks of the last five years. The latter six minutes slows it down to tell a story about his father, which was kind of strange, knowing how powerful the first three minutes were, but it works overall.Before the release, this album earned comparisons to albums like Kanye West's "Graduation" and Kendrick Lamar's "G.o.o.d Kid m.A.A.d City". Which is well deserved, while Kanye's "Late Registration" would have been a more appropriate comparison, the 'G.o.o.d kid' comparison was spot on. The songs "Never Enough" and "I'm Gone" almost sound as if they were taken right out of that album, even down to the flow and the beat. They're nearly indistinguishable from the Kendrick album which might be one slight downside to the album. There are some minor points where originality isn't quite what it should be, but even then it's not long before we get back to songs that would fit nowhere else but on this album such as "Nikki" and "Bounce".Towards the beginning of the album we don't get any extremely hard hitters, but we do get some very solid songs that introduce the second half of the album well. "Soul Food" is separated into two different sections, though neither section outshines the other. Lyrically getting down to some personal stuff; "My other sister went back to her old dude, he's whooping her *** I'll kill him I'll kill him I really want to kill him, but I can't". It's refreshing to see a new artist actually talking about personal things instead of going to strip clubs and stacking their money.Looking at the Deluxe Edition tracks, it was mostly unneeded. "Driving Ms. Daisy" might be one of the best tracks of the year, as the production is top-notch and both Logic and Gambino kill their verses. It's disappointing to see that one wasn't a part of the standard edition, though it makes sense it didn't make it with the Gambino feature. "Now" and "Alright" are solid tracks in their own right, but they don't fit the flow of the album incredibly well, justifying the fact that they should just be Deluxe Edition tracks."Under Pressure" is without a doubt the best album we've seen in 2014. Nowhere does the project get boring, and only rarely does it make minor missteps. It isn't perfect, but it's the closest we've seen all year.FINAL SCORE: 9/10Must Have Songs:- Under Pressure- Driving Ms. Daisy- Nikki- Soul Food- Bounce- Buried Alive
