I’ve just finished listening to Kid Cudi’s Man on The Moon II album, which, in my opinion has to be one of the greatest “rap” records of the year. I say “rap” because the style of the entire album is completely different from anything out right now.
Oh, and did I mention McLovin is in this video?
Cudi’s Man On The Moon series, for those of you that don’t know, is a concept album series much like Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon. I can see why they would release this as the first single (after all it’s really catchy and features Kanye West) but there are definitely better songs on the album.
While Rolling Stone gave the album 2 1/2 stars saying that it was “kind of a bore” and “a deep downer,” I’d have to disagree. Cudi is most certainly one of the most progressive artists to come out of the tired hip-hop genre in a long time.
