Ok so here's a basic way to measure exactly how good the project "Kids See Ghosts" by Kids See Ghosts really is.

Track 1 - Feel the Love (feat. Pusha T) - Total Length 2:46

Notes: Strong intro by Kid Cudi, enjoyable Pusha T verse, incredibly bad ad-libs from Kanye, good outro nice subtle guitar usage, bad drums overall

Run length of worthwhile music: 2:01

Track 2 - Fire - Total Length: 2:21

Notes: mediocre Kanye verse, dull tired sounding beat with grating twang. Cudi humming and singing saves the song by providing balance to the sour beat, only listenable part of the whole song

Run length of worthwhile music: 1:03

Track 3 - 4th Dimension (feat. Louis Prima) - Total Length 2:34

Fire sample, fire Kanye verse, fire drums, amazing song, only the sneering laugh kind of shows up without being asked to transition Kid Cudi over. Decent Cudi verse

Run Length of worthwhile music: 2:18

Freeee (Ghost Town Pt.2) (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) - Total Length: 3:27

Epic intro and beat with Kanye sounding on top of the world, Cudi kind of distracts from Kanye's performance, Dolla $ign is alright overall, does good on the transition, Cudi sounds welcome when he is working the track on his own. Good song that could've been god tier if done properly with verse sequencing and chemistry issues

Run Length of worthwhile music: 3:08

Reborn: - Total Length: 5:25

Pleasant build-up with calming Cudi hums, old school arena ready Kid Cudi chorus, more enjoyable Cudi humming, unwelcome Kanye interruption that transitions as the beat moves, garbage Kid Cudi transition back into a smoother transition to the hook again, saves the song. Unnecessary outro

Run Length of worthwhile music: 3:46

Kids See Ghosts (feat. Yasiin Bey) - Total Length: 4:06

Incredible beat, amazing synergy between Mos Def hook with Cudi humming, amazing Cudi verse, transition to Cudi for the hook, great Kanye verse, great Mos Def section with Cudi interpolation

Run Length of worthwhile music: 4:06

Cudi Montage - Total Length: 3:18

Strong guitar twang intro with double time Cudi flow into a slow beat build which unravels into deep brooding basslines accented with Cudi acting like a light in the darkness as the elevated synths transition the hook to new heights to a very welcome Kanye verse and Kanye then enters the hook with just as much energy as Cudi elevating in a similar fashion over the dark brooding basslines as the heavenly synths transition again to new heights.

Run Length of worthwhile music: 3:18

Total Summation of worthwhile music: 19:40

Total Length of project: 23:50

Now you might think the calculation to be done here is quite basic, but there's one more step that needs to be included. That step is the Kid Cudi multiplier. One point of Kid Cudi music is approximately 94% as good as a normal artist's music. The reason for this is simple. Kid Cudi released the album Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven. By making art at such a new height he has no choice but to be given a handicap for his music making skills. 94% was the value that was decided upon after spending years a***yzing music. You cannot come up with a number yourself unless you meet the prerequisite standards as a music listener so please do not bother.

So with that said, the final mathematic calculation is:

((19+(40/60)) / (23+(50/60))) x .94 x 10

This results in Kid Cudi being exactly a 7.76 / 10 on a basic scale in terms of quality from a mathematical standard this number represents the artistic merit of "Kids See Ghosts"

That’s a lot of words for that mid project

well if you get to the bottom you would see the final result was the album being a solid 7.8/10 which does make the project close to mid

Album is a smooth 8/10 . Great album but super overrated for some reason. Nowhere near a 10/10 masterpiece like Kanye’s first 6 albums

lol

JIK > KSG

It’s impossible to quantify quality lol. It’s all subjective

Y’all suburbans like this album or y’all just really like Kid Cudi? Cuz y’all make a thread about this album every day

Friendly reminder that Troy Ave Stan is not black

i think if you spent the time reading the statements in OP you'd see how it is definitely possible to use metrics to understand the quality of art.

Maybe not mid, its a cool lil project but definitely overrated

stopped reading at "incredibly bad ad-libs from Kanye" on feel the love

op thought he was slick

knowing full and damn well nobody was bout to read all that s***

this is propaganda

Crazy how much hate KTT gives JIK but praise this, they really need Jesus in they life to fight the demons they be postin bout in the life section 🤦🏽‍♂️

KSG is mad overrated. If you told me in 2016 that Kanye and Kid Cudi were gonna form a group and drop an album with a Murakami album cover I’m expecting something way better

KTT stay out of touch they really need some Faith fr it would guide them towards the right path

LMFAOOOO

Quantify deez nuts nigga

I did. Sounds like you put some numbers to your opinion and said it like it was fact
