ATG sizes it all up.
Speaking of Cudi. Uh, yeah. You know, I'm ALWAYS for rapper's pushing boundaries and experimenting creatively. In fact, I still defend Electric Circus to this day, despite the fact that it gets me dagger stares in hip-hop debates. So why am I so cynical about this album?
Maybe it's the hideous artwork, or the awful subtitle (Man On the Moon: THE END OF DAY in stores Sept. 15th), or maybe it's the general feeling that Kid Cudi tries so fucking hard to be DIFFERENT that he just ends up looking like a clown.
Dude. You already shocked the world by rising to prominence without any
conclusive evidence that you can actually rap. You had such a great
beat selection on A Kid Named Cudi
and Poke Her Face, that a lot of people have actually warmed up to your
unorthodox I-can't-sing-but-I-sing-a-lot flow. Be happy! You're doing
too much with this "five act play" uber conceptual shit. I like MGMT and Ratatat, too, but Wale got fucking TV on the Radio and he's not acting like he's rap's David Blaine.
Maybe I'll be surprised. Maybe you spent the year and a half since "Day N Nite" broke (it made the album? Seriously?) writing really great music. But if all you want to do is convince us how out of this world you are, you're destined for a cruel fall to earth.
