His best album

oh didn't knew it affected his speech damn feel sorry for him

oh brother

you feel me lol

it’s almost like a modern hyyerr lowkey

the Ace of Base interpolation is real nice

I had no idea about this. This makes a lot of sense because I did notice his voice being different after SBTH

The vinyl is him with sunglasses on

I was wrong. This isn’t bad at all, Cudi rapping his ass off on this for the most part

I just peeped this lmaooo that’s fire

Top 3 for me

MOTM 2
MOTM
PPDS

But PPDS is a really phenomenal album, it’s also EASILY his best produced album imo

I think you gotta order that one online

Ya definitely looks like it. I went to both targets in my area and they didn’t have any tho. Also went to my local record store and still nothing. I’ll go check Barnes and nobles later on today to see if they have any in stock.

My local record shop said they ordered it but it hasn’t gotten there yet.

Ya def don’t want that one. I’m looking for the og cover or the insano character one.

Blue Sky

Classic Cudi.

Sounds like MOTM

By his “style”, I mean more of that singing/sing-rap stuff he does on basically every other album. Electrowavebaby, funky wizard smoke, and blue sky are perfect modern examples of what I mean. Instrumentally, do what you want, be creative. But arguably, Cudi just sounds better when he’s not trying to sound “hard” idk how else to put it. A lot of these songs have verses with unintelligible lyrics because he’s jumbling words together

Cud Life beat is hard af

I can see myself enjoying this album more & more but yeah I feel like I want something soon after this that’s different cause I’m not sure what kind of legs an album like this from Cudi has for me

Interested in the deluxe tracks tho

The "I had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised"-crowd led me astray.

Intro and Blue Sky are awesome though

I can’t stop listening. Too much replay value

Ay I respect that opinion. Personally I enjoy hearing Cudi do something completely different then he's ever done. Dj drama gives me a ton of nostalgia. I think the production is insane and for the most part his rapping is on point. Yeah here and there you could say he's "trying to hard" but he had to take that approach making something like this. Also I feel like he's doing enough of the sing songy stuff that he can get away making an album like this. If anything it's making up for the lack of rapping he's done over the years.

Either way I respect your opinion and understand not everyone's going to feel this s***

What’s wrong with switching the approach for once after giving us that style for 9 albums? Ima be honest, the songs you named kinda killed the pacing of this album to me (really just electrowave baby and blue sky, I like blue sky tho). Had me genuinely like “come on bro, you was doing well, just keep going. You on some new s***.” I much preferred the new approach he decided to take on a majority of the album and this s*** had me smiling more than any other album in a while.
