From a day 1 fan

As a day 1 fan of both Bobby and Logic, this book exceeded any expectations I had about it. I didn’t really have expectations but I knew it was going to be incredible and it was.
Logic has been my #1 favourite artist since I discovered him in 2010 at the age of 12 back in grade 7. Hearing every single one of his songs, watching every interview, listening to every freestyle, to reading both of his books, has been amazing and I truly hold him as a person, and as an artist close to my heart. Anybody that knows me knows how much I love Logic (not in a weird way though lmao). Whenever I was sad, happy, angry, or mad, I knew I could always resort to his music no matter what was going on in my life. He’s the reason I started writing music and currently am about to start recording them professionally.
This book showed me a far deeper level and understanding of Logic and of Bobby that I never thought I’d know. I laughed during this read, I cried, I got angry (at some of his sad stories) and I felt true joy and bliss seeing how far he’s came and to hear stories that I’ve never heard of before. It is truly inspiring and even more so now after buying this book and reading along to this audio book. I hope everybody who read/listened to this book feels similar and I hope it motivates them to become something greater than they realize they can be.
Comparison is the thief of joy, but comparing Bobby’s upbringing to mine, shows me I didn’t have it too bad growing up although there were nights my family didn’t have food and I’d have to eat at a friends house. Sometimes we didn’t have money for bills, but my parents always found a way to make ends meet. It opened my eyes to what the definition of a struggle is and what you really can complain about. I’ve learnt a lot about life through Logics music over the past about 12 years and after reading this book, I’ve learnt even more.
I doubt logic will ever read this but if he does, thank you for everything and I’m extremely thrilled to know that you have the family and life you’ve always wanted and I’m excited to see where life takes you and your family! Seeing you give little Bobby the life that you never had is inspiring beyond words. My upbringing was not that close to yours, but we had a lot of similarities. From mental health issues, seeing drugs and alcohol addiction in my family, both in my immediate family and other relatives, to feeling alone and not having a sense of belonging in this crazy world. I’m 24 now and I am realizing how much I’ve gone through and how much stronger all of it has made me.
This book was incredible and I will probably read it again and listen to the audio book again as well but in the mean time, I’m going to share it to friends to read/listen to who are also true fans of yours who’ve been there during the come up and who are also OG RATTPACK members. I’m also excited for my mom to read this book too and hear you narrate it. She’s heard me talk about you for hours and hours over the years and heard a bunch of your songs (even though she mainly likes country and rock) she still loves your music and she knows I get a lot of my writing skills from your music and what I’ve learned from studying you and other great artists whom you look up to as well.
This book is a 11/10, 6/5 stars, just truly real and raw and unfiltered and I can tell that it’s Bobby talking from the heart and soul and it sounds like he’s speaking to me directly.
Thank you to Bobby for everything and for making me feel like a part of your journey being an OG RATTPACK member and fan and thank you to every single person who has helped him throughout his life so far and who’s helped get him to where he is.

opportune

(edit: i have listened twice now & it hits just as hard) "used to describe the word time or moment to indicate that it is the perfect time for something to happen." i truly can't describe the impact this memoir & audio has had on me. i love bobby so much & i will never forget his story. he speaks from the heart & i cried & laughed out loud too many times to count. thank you for sharing your life with us. rattpack forever♡

An incredible book

I’ve read many many books that hit close to home emotionally, but nothing as touching as this. Been a big Logic fan for ~6 years now mostly due to the message he was trying to get across. Im lucky to be able to get such great and detailed look into his past and understand his present better. I think this book is a must read if you’re not only a Logic fan but want to understand mental health problems more seriously

Bobby is an amazing story teller

I think because of Bobby's natural talent and charisma is what makes him an outstanding artist. His life story was so inspiring and heart felt even through the rough times. I don't have the easiest relationship with my parents so the constant want of a connection to them is very relatable to me. It was like hearing someone describe similar aspects of my life. I also loved how casual the dialog was and how honest he was.
Even though I loved listening to this, I wish the time lines for some stories were a little clearer. There were quite a few stories I've heard him talk about on interviews before but I'm a bit of a hard core fan. I'm sure anyone new to the Logic legend will love learning everything this book can offer.

Incredible

Logic is one of the most interesting and influential artists that I have ever listened to. This book is filled with so many things and his story is mind blowing. It also shows that fame and money can lead to depression and anxiety. Logic is truly an amazing person and I am so glad he has found happiness in his life after all the crap he has been through. I highly recommend this book, even if you've never heard his music.
