go to 3:19, remember when he put those hotel notes on IG and it went viral? This was in 2013, well before any "celebrity" or let alone "rapper" would be "emo" or talk about their emotions so openly with fans.

(Ofc Cudi was one of the first huge ones in 09 of our times, but he did it more through his music)

Nowadays everybody's going through existential crisis', or depressed, or try too hard be woke. I mean people treat this kind of stuff like its some sort of personality trait, or like its part of who they are, which idk how I feel about that.

side note 2:40 kind of relevant as well, about a guy who killed himself but left a blog behind for the world and his loved ones, I mean the whole interview is great

You really think he was the first celebrity to be open with his fans?

How dare you credit childish f***ing gambino of all people for this

Of our times, he was definitely one of the biggest influences for being emotionally transparent, thanks to his position at the time. I think so.

Y'all questioning my choice but dont give examples, cmon. OF OUR TIMES. ALL GENDERS, HIP HOP CULTURE

How dare you credit Lady f***ing Gaga of all people for this

Cmon @Mitchell let me post his f***ing avi please

Misread thought it was about sum else

You’re right. I mean it’s not like Joe Budden wasn’t talking about killing himself since 2002 my g

If @Mitchell see this it’s over

But being emotionally transparent is part of being an artist. Not really a new thing

no lies in op

Does anyone else remember that open chatroom during the Deep Web Tour?

Cudi started

there is a very very long list of people you could say this same thing about lol

Personally talking, yeah I feel the same as OP but we all experience different things at different times
