I don't see it, I could say that any Reggae artist is straight jacking Bob Marley or that Marley was jacking anyone that came before him. Dude was rapping on his tracks, doing Europop shyt, singing with a low monotone verse on gone to November and on. Post examples that aren't the two covers or so the fugees did. I'm not the biggest fan of his but I was a big fan of Lauryn/Fugees, so I might've missed the tracks you are talking about. Perfect gentleman?

Dre did a SOUNDTRACK for a movie, in-film music for a movie from the 30s. It was obviously not expected to be as good as a normal Outkast album, and that's the only thing he's done post TLB. And his guitar solo was an amateur try that sounded alright, he never claimed to be Jimmy Page, and no one has ever said that he was. He's been practicing for a movie role.

Does he need to be on a Reggae track to attempt to sound like him? One of the reason he even got mainstream noterity with CaCs where how they were enamored with his cover of No Woman No cry which was a international hit single for the Fugees and he also did that Gunpowder single off the Carnival. Even someone call 9-1-1 was like something Bob would try. Dont act like LL didnt call him the Bob Marley impersonator on Ripper Strikes Back for nothing

Soundtrack or not that album was treated with fervoe like an Outkast album. And if its just a side project it reflects the point about how Dre's non rap stuff isnt that great and kinda hacky...which was the whole point of my original comment.

I said non-cover songs, the cover features everyone on the fugees that would make everyone an imposter and everyone who's ever covered a song impostor. I'll admit that the Gunpowder joint was a bit Marley-esque but one or two songs over like 10 albums, meh.

So outkast making film scores for movies based on the 30s are official outkast albums? :what:

The Love Below is his only singing album and it's also he's most known album together with Stankonia, Grammy award for best album and also the highest reviewed album of 2003 in any genre and best selling album of Outkast. So Im having a hard time to see how his singing was a failure.

This is the sad side effect of Rock being exalted and Hip Hop being dismissed.

You get dudes thinking they're "better" because they can strum a couple chords and sing
pseudo-deep lyrics badly. Keep in mind this clown was on arsenio hall puttin Hip Hop through
the ringer last year, now he's releasing this shyt.

Think you're forward looking by making smashing pumpkin's/nirvana ripoff's over
twenty years after the fact brehs

Cudi just tryin to be one of those 'musical auteurs' that does it all (write/produce/performs) but hasn't realized his limitations because of his crab ass fanbase who sucks him dry and his inflated ego...

Confused was a good song. These two though...

Lyrics are bad
Instrumentals are eh
Guitar is meh.

Wish Cudi would've asked Gary Clark Jr to help him with the guitar n lyrics.
I didn't like confused at first but the lyrics are really good and it became catchy to me. Beat dope too.

These 2 def suck.
