A not too well known Rocky track, but according to Rocky himself this was actually a freestyle and is (one of) his favorite tracks he’s done, and I couldn’t agree more, this is dope.

From the lyrics, this would appear to be a very early song, before Rocky had actually made it big.

They still have the record for most victories in one season, with 72 wins. Logic even likens himself to his Air-ness, Micheal Jordan, whom we all know, pretty much dominated the NBA.

  • Mac-10, which is a machine gun

  • An Apple computer

Logic is saying that when he pulls out a Mac-10 sub-machine gun, his opponents freeze, just like a PC freezes. A PC is a different type of computer than Mac, and the platform for some of Apples biggest competition. Apple is known to have very few viruses compatible with the software; however, Microsoft operating systems are much more susceptible to viruses. Thus, the line “watch them freeze like PCs.”

This line relates back to the speech at the beginning of the song by Charlie Chaplin. Logic wants to be like him and use his newfound fame to spread positivity and good music, and not like all these men using their power for corrupt or immoral reasons.

In “Set The Tone” Logic addresses all manner of issues such as his breaking into mainstream, his crazy work ethic, his soon-to-be domination of the game and his dropping out of school. He even acts like a role model when he reminds us that not everyone should drop out, Logic for president!

Logic likely put it here to tell us all that he feels the same way, believing that his purpose is to spread positivity and love, not placing significance or importance on becoming or being rich, as “greed has poisoned men’s soul”:
