Logic Calls Out Kanye West for 'White Lives Matter' Shirt: 'Stupid Idea!'

If there's one thing that Logic learned in his 33 years on Earth, it's that he can't control the Internet.

The rapper took to YouTube to share all his frustrations with the Internet-and the world-in a 19-minute video.

One of the topics that he covered in his rant was the "importance of being your authentic self," as Billboard had put it.

"I think it's important to just be yourself unapologetically... unapologetically being yourself is the hardest thing to do," Logic explained.

However, he also noted that there is a line between being unapologetically authentic and breaching the rights and invalidating other people's long hard fought battles.

He pointed out Kanye West's "White Lives Matter" stunt during Paris Fashion Week last year, which caused an uproar among the Black community.

"Only I'm not evil," Young Sinatra continued. "So I'm not out here, I don't know, spewing bulls**t out of my mouth or [I'm] wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt or some dumb s**t like that."

Respectful Opinions

Logic gave emphasis to having respect for other people's opinions before crafting one's own-something that West probably neglected to do when he showed off the White supremacist tagline to the world.

"F**king moron. I mean, let's just be real," Logic said. "Let me preface that. I love Kanye West. I think he's a genius. I wouldn't be here without him. I can have a f**king opinion, and as long as my opinion is respectful and from the heart, then it is what it is."

On the other hand, Uproxx also pointed out that when Ice Cube's fans bashed him over his cover of "Good Day," he was not as respectful as he probably ought to have been.

He simply responded to the fans, "Who gives a f**k?"

West'S Controversy

The "White Lives Matter" shirt is simply one of too many controversies that have surrounded West in recent times.

Several of his fans decided to stop supporting him and drew the line when he began preaching about antisemitism.

It seems like the "Gold Digger" rapper is unfazed by all the criticisms that came his way because he even talked about how reactions-despite it being negative-are still good.

"React how you want," he once said. "Any energy is good energy. The Confederate flag represented slavery in a way. That's my abstract take on what I know about it, right?"

He was referring to his song "New Slaves" and his use of the Confederate flag in 2013.
