Rapper Ginger Trill’s verse however steals the show–it’s short yet the man wastes no single bar, as per usual fashion, telling a story within a short space of time, and even playing with the word “curve,” and all its three meanings. Coupled with the music–a selection of whizzing synths and pads–they gives the “The Girl Upstairs (The Blessed Girl)” a club feel, which is where blessings normally take place. Reason tells the story of a blessee: “Niggas with money be wanting her / Don’t give a damn what the future be like/ Long as they get her champagne for the / We all know, she got be here for the highest bidders/ Remy or Peri for all the thickness/ better come near me ‘cause you wanna listen.” The rapper sings the hook, and the chants that he uses to censor some words make the song even more satirical. “The Blessed Girl” is a tongue-in-cheek take on the blesser trend that hit South Africa in the past two years (a blesser is a sugar daddy).

Listeners have become convinced that Logic molded his early sound and success after the path Kendrick forged with good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly. Although underlying, there has been tension between Logic and TDE's brightest star, Kendrick Lamar, since Logic hit the mainstream. It's unclear what motivated Reason to put Logic in his crosshairs, but this was far from a stray shot sparked by wordplay. "See y'all mistake my name for Logic's, y'all got me fucked up/How you compare a n***a that take from the culture/Versus a n***a that's for it? This shit getting boring."
