arguably, kid cudi has to be the worst artist to ever come into the rap circuit. he literally single handedly ushered in an era of wackness. mumble raps and a lot of groaning singing nonsense that ain't even rap. funny because it's a hipster living in the gentrified part of brooklyn that literally gentrified the rap shyt to the point where rap ain't even rap anymore. i can't stand that dude because like the stereotypical hipster, he's EXTREMELY pretentious where he really is smelling his own shyt and calling it treasure. folks cosign that nonsense too. he literally disrespects the genre and the culture then puts his trash out there like it's gold.
i see that he's doing rock music now which is what i think he wanted to do all along. basically using the rap genre as his stepping stone to get into the rock scene because they wasn't feeling his off brand ass to begin with. i heard his 2003 rap album and it was HORRENDOUS. i seen a thread where someone posted him doing his best kurt cobain impression and the pretentious and arrogance is even in his voice.
it was like "i'm singing and you'll like it because i'm the shyt". i was getting offended listening to that shyt.
and for the record, i don't get why folks are hyping up that trash gloom on the moon. that shyt was TERRIBLE. the first and the second one. folks saying he got lyrics?
are you kidding me? is it cool to like his wack ass? dude sucks. dude is talking like he's bringing something new to the table when all dude did was just basically cry about a whole lot of nothing and being sad without saying why. man, dude could keep that shyt in those walk ass coffee shops in williamsburg.
