Plenty of people have commented on Logic’s cover of “It Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube over the past week—and a lot of the feedback was negative.
For example, Joe Budden slammed Logic for remaking the 1993 classic. The MC-turned-podcaster even used his show to demand the Maryland-bred rapper retires from the record business.
“Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you. Please join me in retirement,” Budden said. “Never step near a recording device again. Throw your phone in the ocean. Be allergic to microphones. Promise your fans nothing.”
While Budden and other critics were not fans of the “It Was a Good Day” cover, the original creator of the track apparently didn’t have a problem with that version of the song. Logic addressed the backlash to his remake on TikTok.
Logic Collaborates With Hip Hop Legends
One of Logic’s followers suggested the former Def Jam Recordings artist should make an entire album of cover songs. That suggestion led to Logic responding to the online criticism for remaking Ice Cube’s biggest hit.
“It’s funny you should say that because I thought about doing that. Wouldn’t that be cool? Everybody’s all p##### off at me because I did a f###### Ice Cube cover,” Logic explained. “Meanwhile, I texted Ice Cube and he’s like, ‘Man, keep on doing you brother.’ Like, who gives a f###? Who gives a f###?”
He added, “You’re right. I should do a whole f###### album, and just do a whole album of f###### hard-ass ’90s records and call it Logic Greatest Hits, and get all them paid and publishing, and take care of all the legends and the GOATs and the greats from the ’90s. And f###### do a covers album. Who gives a f###?”
The College Park studio LP features several Hip Hop legends. RZA, Redman, and Bun B contributed to the project. Throughout his career, Logic also collaborated with Pusha T, Lil Wayne, Eminem, DJ Premier, Tech N9ne, Juicy J and several other Hip-Hop stars.
