  Logic details signing with Def Jam, his career journey and offers thanks to those throughout the company that were positive parts of his life over the nearly 10 years.
  Logic has long had issues with Def Jam ranging from being under-shipped on his debut to clearing samples and other business-related battles. He announced that Vinyl Days would be his final album under label and would go independent to further his craft after this project:

  Ayo, for real, look, let me just say this
  I wanna say I love Def Jam, Def Jam changed my fuckin' life
  There's definitely some fuckboys in that building
  Some suits wearing ties and shit
  But it's some real good-ass fuckin' people, man
  Steve Bartels, Faisel, Jeff
  Fuckin' Justin Duran, Dave Bell
  Chris Atlas, David Amaya
  I could fuckin' go on bro, Lory, Peter, Kate and Gabe
  We gon' get into the rest later, man, but I fuckin' love y'all
  Let's get to this shit, here we go
  [Verse]
  This my 
  Friday Night Lights
  , track ninеteen
  From major to independent, as sightseen, my Ultralight Bеam
  I ain't finna go into the discrepancies of my deal
  Like the millions that y'all owe me, I gotta audit y'all for real
  But you changed my life, that's my word
  Took a young kid out of Gaithersburg, and you'll never know
  What it means for a kid in his teens and his entire team
  To go from open mics to actually livin' they dreams
  This a "Thank you" to the people in the building
  For helping me build the empire that I'm still building
  Diddy said a rapper only gets five years, we double that
  Independent now, won't double back
  I rep the BMG, yeah, I'm the Big Money Getter
  Fuck the pop shit, remember Logic as a spitter
  Just a kid havin' fun when I step to the mic
  That's why I never understood the hate I get when I write
  Back when posting new songs on Internet rap forums
  All the way to talkin' shit the first night I sold out The Forum
  But they hated Jesus, homie
  I ain't comparing, I'm just reasoning, homie
  I'm just tryna set an example
  I went pop and made millions, now all I do is chop samples
  Egon's finest, peanuts after like I was Linus
  Followed by that 
  College Park
   next, that's the line-up
  First album, the EP was No I.D
  Last album, the executive producer is me, I'm set free
  Sayonara [Spoken Word]
  So the crazy shit is right, like, when we was shopping deals
  Mike, Mike Caren over at Atlantic, he offered me a deal for thirty grand
  I was like "Fuck no", hahaha
  Shoutout Mike, though
  Some independent label offered us one-point-five, and we was like "Nah"
  But Def Jam hit me up, you know what I'm saying?
  Noah pressed my A&R for ten fucking years, bro
  He linked me with No I.D., man, and I was like, "Yo, No I.D.?
  That's Ye, that's Jay, that's Common, homie - how could we not?"
  And we signed a deal, we inked that shit up, bro
  Maurice Frazier, Lisa Bronson, Jason Peerless
  Fuckin' Liza, Nakeisha, Mario, Ryan
  Cordon, I could go on
  Lynn Gonzalez, yo, Lynn Gonzalez
  Ian, you motherfucker with the samples
  Ian be listening to shit that ain't even a sample
  He's like, "This shit's a sample"
  I be like, "Ian, shut the fuck up, bro"
  I love y'all, Antoinette, Donna, Jamie, Stephanie
  Jenny, Paul, all you motherfuckers know who y'all at
  And legal, man, album delivery, I fuckin' love y'all
  Everybody in fuckin' A&R, admin, samples
  PR, marketing, the execs, fuckin' Barry White's old ass
  That motherfucker took care of me, man, he signed me
  I remember seeing a Britney Spears fuckin' plaque
  She went fucking diamond
  I asked Chris Zarou, my manager at VMG
  I said, "What the fuck is diamond?", he said, "Bro, ten times platinum"
  I'll never forget I said never, bro, "Never, I'm not gonna go diamond"
  "1-800" almost diamond, what up? Haha, billions of streams
  Everybody in sales and commerce, DDC, Marcus
  Scott, Bobby, fuckin' Theta, Mac, Eric, Fred Thomas
  All y'all, sorry for the first name basis but I fuck with y'all
  Everybody at Radio, man
  First of all, let me start this shit off with Noah Sheer, Gaithersburg's own
  We went to fuckin' Summit Hall Elementary School, bro
  I mean you like ninety years older than me but it's all good
  Nicky Farag steppin' up in the ranks, I love you shawty
  Lory LaMattina, Keith Rothschild, fuckin' Rick Sackheim the God

  Tour Marketing, Albert, Albert Cook
  Shervah Edwards, video, oh, Millie, gotta love Millie
  Millie was always on the, on the sets like
  "Alright, make sure the Red Bull can is exactly in front of the shot"
  I was like, "Millie, get the fuck out of here"
  Remy, Carolyn, Yolanda, Nadeen
  And of course, of course
  Deborah at the sample team, I fuckin' love you, Deborah
  I don't even gotta say your full name, you are a goddess
  Nicole Pastine (And of course the homie Xavier)
  Rappin' is my passion, I love y'all, man, look
  This what I'ma say about Def Jam, look, man
  We had some ups and downs, you know what I'm saying?
  My first album, I was gettin' sued by some fuckboy
  And y'all was tryna get me to change my name and shit
  I spent my whole fuckin' career, this who I was
  Y'all tryna get me to change my name
  Y'all wasn't tryna put out my album so we did the "While You Wait" shit
  We went on tour, you know what I'm saying?
  But eventually, shit worked out
  But even with that, you motherfuckers
  You know, you under shipped me and shit
  And that's what I'll say
  I don't, I really wholeheartedly don't believe that was none of the people I just named either, man
  Everybody, I fuck with y'all, I rock with y'all
  Any other fuckboys behind the scenes, y'all could suck a dick
  Eat my whole fuckin' ballsack, man
  This industry is fucked up
  The wildest shit, is I'ma say this, man
  This whole industry is musical chairs, yo
  Cats like Steve Bartels, Faisel, Jeff Harleston, man
  They, they the real ones, you know what I mean?
  But like motherfuckers be so in-and-out, that's why I didn't stay with Def Jam
  I went to Def Jam after ten years on the label, because I owed them that
  I was like, "Okay, so what's up? We signing another deal?"
  They ain't even get back to me in time
  So I went somewhere else and I don't know who butthurt or what
  I could give a fuck, man
  All I'ma say is I love y'all who rock with me
  I love y'all who take care of me
  I love y'all who fuckin' drove me from New York to Boston to do
  Radio interviews and shit man
  Appreciate y'all
  It's been a, it's been a dope time on this major label shit, you know what I'm saying?
  I've made millions and millions and millions of dollars for y'all, hahaha
  And uhh, we've had some good memories
  I love you, I appreciate you
  My only regret is I ain't get to really fuck with Tunji like that
  We doin' this last album, you know what I'm sayin'?
  But Tunji, man, that's the God, he's here for the culture
  Yo man, you're a fuckin' G bro
  Much love to Lucian
  I appreciate all the fuckin' millions of dollars that you gave me to make these records, hahaha
  Independent shit next
  VMG, VMG, Bobby Boy
  Sayonara [
  Outro
  ]
  Logic as a rapper is an anomaly, a person who is out of time
  Living in the present, you know, rooted in the past
  But a traditionalist who believes in the future
  Who believes in what hip-hop was and can still be
  So we're here in this modern time
  Thinking about and listening to the development of hip-hop and it's future all at once
  I think that a lot of people in the modern sense of the word get caught up in how fleeting time is
  And they believe that what's happening right in front of them
  Is the most immediate thing and it's the most meaningful thing
  And they have to engage what's happening in the moment
  Because the moment's gonna be gone and then they're not gonna care
  Or no one else around them is gonna care
  And I think we forget that great experiences in the, in humanity
  Go on for decades, centuries, sometimes millennia
  Before anybody even really knows how to make sense of them
  And so, in the same way that the monks in the dark ages were keeping records and saving books
  You know, it is important for us to really make sense of one of Americas great folk musics, and that's hip-hop
  And there's very few people who care enough to actually keep the form going while trying to push it forwards
  Logic's one of those dudes
  And the reason Madlib and I decided that we wanted to work with him
  Is because he came through with a true sincerity and appreciation for the form
  And for all of the people who make it
  And like a true understanding of craft and like, who's doing what
  And how their technique is either important, relevant
  Something that needs to be preserved or not
  And I remind myself that even though hip-hop seems to me
  In my mid forties to be an old thing because it's been around since the early '70s
  It's actually just in its infancy
  And if it's not for people like Logic trying to keep this tradition alive
  We're not really gonna know even shortly after, what's supposed to come
  This hopefully is an art form that's gonna outlast
  All these art forms that preceded it and formed it
  And we're only gonna know that if people who truly have the passion, belief
  And the proficiency, the musical acumen
  To hold the form, hold it dear
  And at the same time, not be so reverent to it and push it forward
  Are there to show us the way
  So hopefully he's one of these dudes, I have that belief
