Unmasking Loyalty and Success: Logic and Big Sean's Anthem
In 'Wassup (feat. Big Sean),' Logic and Big Sean delve into themes of loyalty, success, and the challenges that come with fame. The repetitive hook, 'Wassup hoe? Where you been? What you know about?' sets the tone for the song, questioning the authenticity of those around them. Logic's verses reflect his skepticism about people's intentions, emphasizing the difficulty in discerning who is genuinely supportive and who is merely opportunistic. This theme is particularly resonant in the music industry, where success often attracts both genuine allies and fair-weather friends.
Big Sean's verse complements Logic's sentiments by highlighting his journey and the resilience required to maintain his position. He speaks about sticking to his principles ('I stuck to the code like a finishing move') and the continuous improvement that has defined his career. The imagery of 'Vader wearing all white' symbolizes a transformation and a break from expectations, underscoring his evolution as an artist. Sean also touches on the pressures and threats that come with fame, yet he remains unfazed, suggesting a sense of invincibility and divine favor ('High powers chose us, we never froze up').
Logic's final verse is a triumphant declaration of his achievements and his relentless drive. He references his lucrative deal with Def Jam and his global tours, painting a picture of a self-made success story. The line 'Only Fresh Prints in my pocket' cleverly plays on the dual meaning of 'prints' and 'Prince,' alluding to his financial success and cultural impact. Logic's pride in his roots and his loyalty to his crew, the Rattpack, is evident, reinforcing the song's central theme of loyalty amidst success. The repeated refrain serves as a reminder of the ever-present uncertainty about who is truly 'down' for them, making 'Wassup' a powerful anthem about trust, ambition, and the realities of fame.
