Following these introductory experiences, Logic released his first mixtape in 2010 'Young, Broke & Infamous' which was greatly recieved by critics.

Talking with Jimmy at the end, Bobby smiles and makes himself look very relatable by even messing up a handshake and laughing it off. His informal public image contrasts with his assertive stage presence, displaying his talent/dedication to the craft yet still makes himself known to be like any of his audience.]]> 2022-11-23 13:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395618612 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395619294 Throughout his career and work Logic has made it known he has some large pop culture influences, his main being Frank Siantra as he calls himself 'Young Siantra' and 4 of his projects reference this, he also references Tarantino as his film's soundtracks were produced by members of the Wu-Tang Clan (famous 90's hip hop group). This pop culture obsession shifts Logic from the typical star image spotlight and makes him just look like another human, fan of other people's works.]]> 2022-11-23 13:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395619294 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395620624 With the release of 'Everybody', Logic's '1-800-273-8255' gained the most popularity hitting number 3 spot in the US billboards and recieved various nominations. The title's track is the previous suicide hotline number for the US, and they receieved an additional 10,000 calls to the number during the peak popularity of the track.

But these moments most likely reach to him on a personal level, and this is why he is seen for his truely good acts and message as he physically shows it with action, not just words.]]> 2022-11-23 13:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395622081 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395625647 Logic's fans reflect the success of his star image, appreciating his talent and music.

However, without the flow of mass media he would not be attributed to this position as easily and known for his persona outside of music.]]> 2022-11-23 13:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395628567 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395702637 In contrast to Logic uploading content that revolves around his larger public appearences and kind acts, he oppositely resonates with the average fan and tweets about more casual subjects, with more informal language. Argubly, even though he doesn't think twice about tweets like shown above he still makes the conscious decision to upload more personal content. This makes his star image relatable and humanises him, compared to his usual big, heroic, friendly aura.]]> 2022-11-23 14:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395702637 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395893207 2022-11-23 18:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395893207 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395894174 2022-11-23 18:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2395894174 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2396104552 Oppositely Logic's image has been tainted like any other star.]]> 2022-11-24 00:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2396104552 201491323 https://padlet.com/201491323/uemlhrem83r207yq/wish/2396106479 Audiences state he pushes the politics and he pushes the 'I'm biracial I'm special' card too much, with others saying he copies the styles of Kendrick and J Cole.
