Frustrated, Louis Logic went back to the boards and started remodeling his lyrical style in favor of more complex multisyllable rhyme structure and darker humor, and lost some of his "underground" curtails. During this period Louis's releases became more sparse but cropped up lesser 12 inch releases such as in 2002 Cage & Copywrite b/w Louis Logic b/w Vakill & Juice - 'With Us b/w Resume b/w Urban Legend'. Meanwhile Louis's peer group changed slightly, instead of Vinnie Paz and the Jedi Mind Trick family Louis expanded to Celph Tilted, Majik Most and most importantly JJ Brown, a young up and coming producer with an ear for cheeky yet complex melodies more suited for Louis's new found humor.
In 2003, Louis Logic released Sin-A-Matic, which gained extremely high praise, and even as recently as March 2006 on Artofrhyme.com was refered to as "maybe the best independent Hip Hop album in recent memory" as well as earning him #10 on the top 15 albums of 2003 at Rapreviews.com.
His new found style drew many comparisons to Eminem because of his rhyme structure and more notably his topics such as joking about abusing women, murder and among other inappropriate things. While Louis vocally sounds little like Marshall, Louis has always shown an affinity for Em's lyrical deterxity quoting him "No need for alarm, just remain calm" on Postal and even early in his career as "I used to be a loudmouth". The immediate comparison turns off some hip hoppers including his sometimes rap partner Apathy who surprised artofrhyme interviewer with his neglect to mention him in in an interview until asked about him. "Louis...I don't have anything to do with Louis. He was always more Celph's friend, I never rocked that tight with him. He was cool at first because he was more of a hip-hop MC. Then he started to get a little funny throughout the years."
Aside from comparisons, Louis Logic's complex witty lyrical flow has been the subject for internet message board arguments with fans often listing him as one of hip hop's best, sellout, stupid, genious and everything in-between. Louis even took time to mock the fickleness of hip hop fans who often are guilty of the "indier than thou" and too quick to assign labels to their music with Fair Weather Fan, as one of the unfortunate downsides of success in an indie market comes a level of increased critism. Louis also mixes politics in music and most surprisingly shows a very high aptitude for relationships from a male persceptive with his Idiot Gear.
Despite Louis's success on Sin-A-Matic, he mentioned that he couldn't make another album only to have it ignored by more major publications.
Louis Logic in 2004 released along with partner in rhyme/sound-a-like Jay Love, "Odd Couple" which had mixed reviews.
In December 2005, Louis got his break landing a record deal with Fat Beats along with JJ Brown for "Misery Loves Comedy" which was completed on February 10th and released June 13, 2006. Misery Loves Comedy made the rounds for reviews to a much wider audience as PopMatters, IGN, Okayplayer, HipHopDX, MVRemix and All Music Guide unlike his previous solo LPs, partly due to his new label and his previous Sin-A-Matic.
Sonically JJ and Louis abandoned previous hip hopisms to make way for a cross over sound geared to fit topics of relationships, friends and drinking as opposed to battle raps and political statements that filled Sin-A-Matic; reflecting his departure with the Demigodz and newfound friendship with Travis from Gym Class Heroes. The album received mostly positive reviews, but failed to live up to Sin-A-Matic as many reviewers cited JJ Brown's production as the weakest link.
Post Misery Loves Comedy, Louis Logic has been working co-writing JJ Brown on his first solo LP to which Louis professes "You guys will be surprised how much J. has learned about rapping in the last 6 months. The kid could outshine most of the guys making records that I hear. You'll see."
Best friends

You know I'm 'bout to leave the pad on tour soon
And I thought you'd watch my lady while I'm gone dude
Yo c'mon Lou, of course that's cool, you're my fuckin' man
My fam, I mean damn, I don't got no other plans
We can rent some Blockbuster, catch a movie or two
But I'mma have to leave her home if there's some hoochie to screw
Oh shit yeah, if there's some booty for you, handle yours, hit the bed
I ain't tryna cock block if you're gettin' head
Lick and spread that chick instead, but if not, you gotta watch my baby then
Cause most of my lady's friends are chickenheads
Yeah that's understandable, broads can be real influential
And keepin' a clean slate is instrumental in relationships potential
I'll run into the store for the doe if shes low
And try to keep her from runnin with clubbin hoes
Word, I new there was a reason you're my brother yo
Of course Lou, your blood from another mother, no other bro
Hello
Aiiyo Ap, wassup its Lou
My bus is stuck in ?, I'm glad I trust you to watch my lovely boo
Aiiyo, y'all found some stuff to do
Oh word up, we just buggin dude
Tryna watch this flick, wanna talk to your chick?
Oh, hold up, she just went into the bathroom sick
See we was drinkin and shit and now we chillin on the couch
We was thinking of goin out but decided to lounge in the house
Yo, lounge in the house? Bounce and be out?
What you mean shes sick, yo who the fuck you think you drinkin with
Your supposed to be over seeing shit
It sounds like all hell's breakin loose
Yo, your breakin up Lou and your trippin like I'm trickin with your chick
Stop bein a dick actin like we fiendin to stick -phone hanging up-
Yo fuck it, don't pick it up, Lou's just bein' a jerk
His goin berserk, his probably just stressed from all the work
Let's relax, sure we can cuddle, there's nothin' wrong with that
You can lay across the couch and put your head on my lap
Oh, what up b
Don't what up me you fuckin asshole
I dropped outta my tour and had to duck my last show
Whats goin' on with you and my girl, slutty asshole
You fuckin' her, what you tryna ruin my world
Yo first of all kid, take that fuckin' tone out your voice
We boys but what you girl does is really her choice
Now she's sittin' lonely at home while your doin' your shows
Besides son, I thought it was bros before hoes
So if your clothes come off while your chillin' with my sweet thing
I'm supposed to let her share her g-string
I'mma take that anniversary ring right back to Zales
Ask the sales girl to take back the pearls
Smack the curls off my ladies head and kill you for your treachery
You said you were my best friend, instead you got the best of me
Yo Lou, this shit is hectic B, I'm really not the enemy
It takes two to tango and we share the same energy
One night over some Hennessey we started messin sexually
And well, now we dealin with an unexpected pregnancy
The lyrics of Louis Logic's song "Best Friends" describe a conversation between two male friends named Lou and Ap. Lou is going on tour and asks Ap to watch his girlfriend while he is gone. Ap agrees to keep an eye on her and even offers to run errands for her. However, their friendly conversation takes a turn when Lou calls Ap to check up on his girlfriend and accuses him of having an affair with her. Ap denies the claim but reveals that they did have a sexual encounter while drunk, causing Lou to become enraged and threaten violence.
The song touches on themes of trust, loyalty, and infidelity in male friendships. It portrays the complexity of male relationships and the repercussions of betraying someone's trust. The lyrics also touch on the objectification of women and the perception of them as sexual objects rather than individuals.

I know this is besides the fact but rappers who have really made it don't fret about their girlfriend cheating on him being that they get plenty of groupies on the road. It's like an indie rapper to get his panties in a bunch when discovering his best friend is sleeping with his girlfriend. Also, most girlfriends don't cheat on an up-and-coming successful rapper. Drake's girlfriend would not cheat on him in 2008. I think the real problem isn't his best friend cheating on him on his girlfriend; that's just spilled milk. But, the house of cards collapsing is the rapper's career being very stressful as another starving artist. His girlfriend cheating on him is just kicking him while he's down. Really beautiful song by Louis Logic that I have played and examined countless times now.
