SAN FRANCISCO — The Masonic was packed to capacity for rapper Logic, who brought his College Park Tour to the Bay on Sunday. Easily one of the best hip-hop lyricists, Logic showed why on the opening night of the tour, in support of his new album.

Logic started off in a black T-shirt, pants, baseball cap, his signature wireframe glasses and rocking a gold medallion necklace. He walked onto a stage made to look like his childhood basement. Wu-Tang Clan and “Kill Bill” posters hung on the “walls” and a few steps poked out on the stage. A DJ rig was set up on top of a bookcase that held a globe. There was also a well-worn couch, armchair and lawn chair. Blinds covered “windows” through which light flashed.

Kicking off the show with “Wake Up,” the artist born Sir Robert Bryson Hall II announced he’d walk attendees chronologically through his catalog for the next 90 minutes. “Lightsabers,” “I’m Gone” and “Metropolis” followed in quick succession.

Logic was supremely comfortable, rapping with little support from backing tracks. He displayed a high level of lyrical dexterity as he spit his complicated lyrics with ease. He coupled an energetic approach coupled with a laidback style.

“This girl knows all the lyrics!” he said after noticing one young fan, tossing his hat in her direction. She was far from the only audience member to get merch. Logic and his crew passed out more hats and shirts throughout the evening.

The rapper continued his retrospective with “Under Pressure,” “Gang Related” and “Contact.” The audience shouted after hearing the first few notes of “Fade Away.” He then took a seat behind the turntable to flex his DJ skills for “Upgrade.” Following a break, he returned in a red space-suit-style jumpsuit and blue ball cap.

Logic talked about how different his songwriting was at the start of his career.

“Most rappers would rap about guns and gangs while I was rapping about video games and space,” he said before launching into “I Am the Greatest, “Run It” and “Flexicution.”

“I sold out Madison Square Garden but for this tour I wanted to do something different,” he added. “I wanted to play smaller venues because I missed … having contact and being able to directly connect with my audience.”

Logic changed back into his all-black attire and returned to thank a few special guests for attending, such as his wife’s aunt and uncle, and several cousins. He then chatted about his first hit, “1-800-273-8255,” named for the previous number of the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. He was not sick of the song, he assured.

Next, he read over a few signs in the audience and picked out one that requested three songs—“Lemondrops,” “Nikki” and “Supermarket.” He said he wasn’t prepared for any of them, but tried anyway, jumping behind the booth to join his DJ.

After first missing his cue, rapper T-Man joined him for a quick song before Logic pressed on with “Overnight,” “44 More” and his collab with Marshmallow, “Midnight,” “Everyday,” from the Bobby Tarantino mixtape, and medley of “Nikki,” “Slave” and “Boomtrap Protocol.” \

Toward the end of the show—and apparently past curfew—Logic announced he’d have to pay $25,000 for every five minutes he went over, but continued on with “Homicide,” his song with Eminem, as well as a handful of other songs like “Keanu Reeves,” “Bohemian Trapsody” and “Peace, Love and Positivity,” finally wrapping up just before 11 p.m. with “The Incredible True Story.”

Fans chanted his name for a solid five minutes after he left the stage.

Memphis rapper Juicy J, who has a career full of hits with former Three Six Mafia bandmates Crunchy Black, Gangsta Boo and DJ Paul, as well as Bun B and Lil Jon, preceded the headliner. He wore a white straitjacket with a black leather spit-guard mask and blinged-out shades and dreadlocks in a high ponytail.

“I know I look crazy tonight,” he said. “It’s because I got ‘Mental Trill-ness.'” After kicking off with “Stay Fly,” he covered some of his collabs with other artists and some of his Three Six Mafia songs like “A Zip and a Double Cup,” “Slob on My Knob,” “Bandz a Make Her Dance” and “Bounce It.”

Logic’s partner from their duo, HalfBreed, C Dot Castro, opened the show with a quick set. He announced he’d been incarcerated for a few years when he got Logic’s offer of a record deal and collaboration, showing off another aspect of the headliner’s altruistic side.
