lol holy shit I figured you for either a Southern Comfort or Jack dude.....wtf.
Agreed with all of this. IMO the weakest song on MotM is Hyyer, but it still fits very well.
MotM1 is a personal classic because I can listen to it in any mood, anytime, and the highs are astronomically high. My list is the same as coldveins except with Simple As in the place of Pursuit of Happiness.
I argue with a close friend about MotM1 vs. A KiD Named CuDi on which is the better effort sometimes, I respect the other side. I REALLY like A KiD Named CuDi too, but it's mostly for the progression of Man On The Moon > The Prayer > Day N Nite > Embrace the Martian. 3 of those 4 songs (excluding Day N Nite) are are probably my favourite CuDi songs ever. Embrace The Martian doesn't get anywhere near the amount of love it should IMO, my favourite Cudder song.
EDIT: And in the time I post, GAF redeems it self. Glad to see more love for Embrace The Martian.
I'll get off your lawn...
...as soon AS I FINISH SWAGGIN OUTTTTT. THAT SHIT CRA(z)Y. Seriously, the victoria's secret performance was awesome.
There is that one truly amazing song on that tape that somehow didn't make the album. Never understood why.
Looked it up: "Look Up the Sky"..such an great beat. Chorus is a bit worse than I remembered. Had that one on repeat when the tape came out. And it comes right after my favorite Cudi song.
And I can't believe that you just said that sidxx. I hated simple as so much I considered taking the cd out of my player and scratch it. Even deleted the mp3 I think. Wouldn't say it grew on me but I learned to tolerate it .
Haven't drank it very often but it tastes SOOOOO amazing. But knowing me I better stick to beer and wine because I empty any bottle like a fucking alcoholic. So it might be better to stay away form whiskey..

I can listen to this album again and again. Everyone I talk to IRL also agrees. It is a classic.
Actually, I dont think it is. Regardless, which do you think is/are the best of the ones you listed?
lol. kind of true. Thats one thing I hope Cole does. Diversify. I still think he has the most potential out of all the "newcomers".
I think the song itself is of classic status, but also agree that we should give it more time.
I love you.
Agree with both. Also Make Her Say is a fun song. Its not bad at all. I still enjoy in fact, and its on my ipod. I dont skip it.
Exactly.
Fucking Sky Might Fall, Cudi Zone etc...How can you not love that shit?!
Simple As is great too. It was a song that grew on me, however, and I didnt fall in love with it at first.
I dont think he did. MOTM 2 is still good, just not MOTM 1 good. Also, lets just pretend WZRD isnt happening. Thats all we need to do. MOTM 3 still has the potential...
Alcohol makes me a jackass. I couldn't stay married if I drank everyday. I still remember the fight I got into with the wife when I argued the the Heineken mini keg only counted as "one beer" since it was one can. That was actually a pretty fun night....but it might have been the reason the townhouses I was staying in at the time refused to extend my lease when it expired. lol
I'm a really loud and ignorant drunk.
The shit i took last night was better than MotM 2. Im so glad i saw Cudi in concert before that album came out.
it was a victorias secret show for fucks sake, there were models in ridiculous outfits walking up and down a runway.. that shit was absurd..
When Kanye said he was the voice of our generation and people got pissed at him, I agreed. I see it no other way. I mean, yeah call him out for arrogance/being Kanye, but it's pretty accurate.
I wouldn't go as far as saying our generation's MJ though. MJ embodies more than what Kanye has accomplished.

Thats fair. I dont think its really rap either.
Yeah he canceled the other one which pisses me off. That mixtape is also still amazing though.
I love this song. So relatable.
Such a perfect post.
I guess I can get behind this. MOTM 2's highs were also incredible, and stand next MOTM 1, IMO. Problem is there are only a few.

I liked most of the songs on MOTM, except Hyyer and Make her say didn't fit in at all.
Its just the songs aren't that great. Maybe I just have higher standards for classics.
Let me get a feel for what else are classics from you cudi guys from the past 3 or so years.

Pretty sure MotM 1 is my most listened to album while high, deservedly so. I remember being the highest I've ever been and getting "lost" while listening to the intro of Simple As... and throughout the rest of the song.
The 1/15th tapes (3rd is my favorite because of Gorillaz' Demon Days use but I know I'm in the minority there. If I tried to look at it objectively, 1st > 2nd > 3rd) > Lupe the Jedi > It Was Written >
In 20 years Kanye will be looked at as one of the greats. He didnt do anything new, but he perfected certain things and put out 1 classic and 2 great albums( This is assuming his slide into mediocrity continues). He came out when gangsta rap and crunk were huge, and his sound was refreshing for those not into indie/underground artists. With that said, he probably will never be looked at as fondly as MJ is, even with all the allegations and lawsuits MJ dealt with. Kanye, you can never take away the greatness of The College Dropout, no matter how hard you try with your last couple of albums.

I haven't heard much Tinie Tempah. I like The Streets (lol...yeah I know I know but still OPM is pretty good album) but British accents in rap just feels wrong which is a shame.

Basically something that I can always listen to and never get tired of. For example I still listen to MM LP all the time, same for College Dropout, and a few others.
MOTM is also special to me because I can relate to a lot of it.

This thread moves fast regardless. Either you strap up or shut up.
Cudi talk? Let me walk away real quick because I would eat Scott Mescudi's poop.

To me MOTM is like Kanye's Graduation.
Mostly good a few gripes and one of the best albums from that year but not classic status to me.

Im wondering GAF, is this the general consensus for best Lupe mixtapes?
I've watched the video of it like 6 times now. They ripped it up.
That gif is too epic.
I still don't understand your hate for it. I saw him this June and it was amazing. No complaints about him performing any of his Post-MotM 1 material.

Dude. High Five me lol.
I also think The Cool is borderline classic. In fact, I may like it more than F&L. That one is hard though. I mean, The Cool vs F&L....
I like you but I will kill you dead
I don't like MJ actually but thats a whole different argument/derail bait
Somehow Kamspy being a loud and obnoxious drunk is so fitting, I love it. I don't get loud but I do get a little obnoxious since I start thinking I am god's gift to the world.
And yes, Southern Comfort is my shit. With root beer or on the rocks.
I'm a huge supporter of MOTM2- I think its just as good as MOTM1, its just a darker take. Its the empire strikes back to a new hope. I'm waiting on MOTM3 to be the return of the jedi of the trilogy; WZRD is the equivalent of one of the Star Wars Christmas specials.
that gif makes me cringe.
also, i never heard this cudi tape yall are discussing... . anybody want to link me?
Yes. (haven't listened myself, though, but those are what people say every single time).
Yeah, but Kanye's persona is a huge part of who he is, and has been there from the start. Kanye stans aren't surprised at any of that shit. He's just been villainized in the media, MJ's legacy spans way more decades and has far fewer controversies, so naturally he will be remembered more fondly. Oh and also because he's fucking MJ. Rest in peace.
Im in the mood for something new, really. I was always okay with him, and the accent only makes it better and more refreshing to me. So long as I can still make out what someone is saying, an accent just adds some flavour to the mix.
Nothing on that album stuck with me. I have played it about 5 different times all the way through, trying to give it a chance. MOTM grabbed me instantly, but i just cant vibe with MOTM2. Even my friend who went to the concert with me felt the same. We blasted A Kid Named Cudi and MOTM1 so god damn much, but we never played MOTM2.
Ok. That is factually wrong. Kanye has never been accused of molesting a kid. White girls might of hated him for a few weeks for that Taylor Swift shit, but please, MJ dealt with far more serious allegations.

Please don't tell me there's a "MOTM2 is a classic" crowd.
Same album got me into hip-hop, still my favorite.
What version of 7th Chamber do you like? Part II's beat is SO GOOD.
I wouldn't go thaaat far; I think that MOTM1 is a classic, but MOTM2 is a worthy successor and a great entry in the trilogy. Its just not CLASSIC status because although it was tonally different than pt 1, it wasn't as fresh or new. Still awesome. Not as awesome as this tho:
I think this is the best analogy I've seen here on GAF-Hop. Better than the Sonic-cycle comparisons.
+1
That would mean MOTM2 is better than MOTM1 though. I cant see any sane person seeing it that way.
I said fewer, not smaller. The MJ trial was one of the biggest events in the past decade. Ye has constantly had his mistakes publicized from early on in his career. MJ had years before his accusations, even if it was of far greater magnitude than Ye's compounded controversies.
Also, as far as MotM2 goes.. I've been listening to it again recently, and it's not as bad as I've been so vehemently condemning it since forever. I still think there is a huge leap in quality down from MotM1, but a lot of the songs feel a bit more.. genuine? Especially in the context of what CuDi was going through at the time.. it's perfect in conception, and perfect for the MotM series, and I now recognize it as canon!
I would never say this.
MOTM2 had way too many bad songs to be a good album. These Worries and Don't Play This Song especially. There are some great tracks on the album, but it lacks the two anchor points of greatness that eventually hooked me into MOTM1 (Soundtrack 2 My life and Pursuit of Happiness). MOTM2 doesn't have any super high points and instead just kind of stays mediocre the whole way through, with dips into shittastic here and there.
Some new shit from my cousin...

Marijuana? Mr. Rager? MANIAC? Mojo So Dope? REVOFEV? Wildn cuz I'm young? so many good songs on that album..
I think REVOFEV and Maniac specifically, while maybe not even my fav songs off the album, were so damn unique. Theres literally NOTHING out there in hip hop like those two songs.

Also, Make Her Say is my favorite Cudi track, just saying. You all can probably guess why, though.
I like both a lot, but I prefer part I. I love the intro, and the way RZA takes the knock on the door and makes a beat out of it. Ive noticed this is probably the first rap album I've heard that I actually enjoy the skits and dont skip them.
