Kid Cudi

[powerhour24]

There's no thread for this master of alternative hip hop/alternative rock? For shame.

Come on, who else is excited for Man on the Moon II?

Dude is awesome. Loved this summer single from a couple months ago - the collab with Rostam of Vampire Weekend and Bethany of Best Coast:

"She Came Along" and "Pursuit of Happiness" are also great.

YouTube - David Guetta feat Kid Cudi - Memories (Official videoclip)

 

[cobl04]

that was a great song. i don't like Guetta though. dude creeps me out

 

[Sicy]

Dont look at him.. just listen.

This an improvement on the last one. A lot less whiny, yet somehow moodier. It lacks a standout like Day N' Nite, but most every track has something to offer. Good album, though I wish The End was actually the closer.

It lacks a Day N' Nite

thank GOD for that. it got to a point where i almost cried every time that song was played.

it'd be nice for a popular hip hop artist to release an album with a decent title though.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like the song, personally. But I've only heard it on radio once, which was a treat at the time.

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Erase Me sounds nothing like the rest of this new one; definitely a single in the Make Her Say mold. That is, I dig both, but don't return to them all that regularly.

Mr. Rager kicks all kinds of ass:

Also, he says his third album will be a rock album instead of hip-hop, with a backing band called Wizards. I'm not surprised since a lot of his songs have leaned towards alternative rock in the past, but I do quite like his alt. rock/alt. hip-hop blend, and the hip-hop genre needs more out-there creative people to be successful like him.

 

[cobl04]

This album gets a firm from me. I don't know when cudi's life got so shit, but I don't want to hear about it. A lot of boring, musically uninteresting, monotonous tracks and not one song that is as good as Embrace the Martian or his other hits.

The End is the best song, with Erase Me and Mr Rager the other two I enjoyed.

 

[powerhour24]

Gotta say I can't relate to him now that the 'lifestyle' has unfortunately taken its toll on him, but I wouldn't call the music uninteresting. "Scott Mescudi vs. The World", "Mojo So Dope", "Ashin Kusher", "Maniac", "Erase Me", "Mr. Rager", & "REVOFEV"" among others are killer tracks.

I'm wondering if he'll complete the trilogy despite his reports about not wanting to rap anymore, or if he'll move right on to his rock band 'Wizards'.

Just listened to this. The second half is way better than the first half.

What were your favorite tracks?

 

[PhilsFan]

The opener and the title track were very good.
