“Feel the Love” features Cudi repeating to himself “Ain’t no stress on me Lord, I’m movin’ forward/Keep movin’ forward, keep movin’ forward” while Kanye bears his soul: THANKFULLY, Kanye is actually in the mood to rap this time around, and he’s got something to say. Sonically, it’s one of the better produced releases of 2018.īut what gives Kids See Ghosts its staying power is the themes it addresses. Kanye breaks out creepy banjos straight from Deliverance for “Reborn,” which turns out to be an appropriate mood setter.
There’s no way that combo should work but it does. “Cudi Montage” starts off with a weird blend of hi-hats and warbling chants before mischievous gremlin giggles break out across the track. Music MVP King Push once again strolling through to show off his lyrical crown. “4th Dimension” features downright chaotic soundscapes, with G.O.O.D. The album’s immediate draw is its production, which is always the hallmark of every Yeezy release. Cudi and Kanye’s battles with mental illness are well documented and become a focal point of Kids See Ghosts, which makes the most of its short seven-track runtime. Mental illness and depression have long been been a scourge in our society, where symptoms aren’t often seen or, at worst, laughed off. I’m writing this post days after we learned that designer Kate Spade’s death was ruled a suicide and mere hours after renowned chef Anthony Bourdain suffered the same fate. And this time, the story is much clearer. Thankfully, Ye finds a kindred spirit in Kid Cudi on their joint project, Kids See Ghosts, which feels like a natural extension of the ye album. It’s like Kanye wanted to make a statement about his highly publicized mental health issues but just couldn’t find the words. On the other end of the spectrum, Kanye West’s ye was an unfiltered, unfocused and seemingly unfinished mess. Pusha T dropped easily the best album of his career (and arguably one of the best albums of the year, period) with DAYTONA – triggering a firestorm with you-know-who who did you-know-what with you-know-who. Music’s run of summer releases and so far results have been mixed to say the least. You can tell he just came off of A Kid Named Cudi.We’re three weeks into G.O.O.D. The only set back with this album is that it still feels like mixtape cudi. MOTM - Had his biggest hit records, Iconic songs, inspire people like Travis Scott, and all with solid production.
The only thing holding this back from being his best album would probably be impact and less iconic songs then the top spot. It feels like cudi could do anything from rapping to singing on this project and still make a great song. MOTM2 - The first cudi album that sounded like an album. The bars aren't much to marvel at, but cudi's singing really shines through here.
KID CUDI ALBUMS BEST TO WORST FULL
It doesn't feel like a full album like Daytona. KSG - This album has phenomenal production, but its too short for its own good. The production is a bit shaky, but it's a mixtape. None of the songs are that brave, but its a huge step up in production and cudi brought back more rapping.Ī Kid Named Cudi - Some of the best bars cudi has on all his albums. The other half feel like a more modern take on Cudi's style. MOTM3 - Half of the songs are a Travis Scott rip off. The production isn't great, but the songs are fairly consistent for being an 18 track album
This album just has more rapping on it, which I think Cudi's rapping is better than his singing. Indicud - Indicud and Satelight Flight would be about the same. It's one of his rawest albums and feels somewhat like a future-esque vibe for Cudi. This album has fewer songs with Cudi's singing. Satelite Flight - A lot like WZRD, but braver production. This album kind of feels like a rock rip off. Cudi struggles to keep you interested with his voice. WZRD - Cudi fans love it, but the production has the same guitar strings on every track. PP&DS - This album's way too long and Cudi doesn't say much. Most of the songs have bland attempts at rock, and Cudi, as normal, struggles to hold up a record with his singing. (This list is gonna try to be the least biased I can make it)
