Is this the name of his third solo project? Or the Wizard Rock album? Or something else?spindashing said:
I'm so out of the loop with CuDi's projects, there are so many names and projects that he's mentioned at one time or another. I'm betting on a mixtape single though.
Been a while since you used Hulkshare, huh?Jason's Ultimatum said:

Yeah, it's no longer Wizard; the band is called 2 Be Continuum. It's still happening, just like A Kid Named Scott will happen.enzo_gt said:
A song off of the album isn't so farfetched; he did release RevOfEv before MOTMII came out for free.
Edit: Apparently there will be a delay according to Cudi's tumblr, lol.
Just heard Shabazz Palaces' latest album and was a bit disappointed on first listen, there's too much going on...The genius of their previous albums I believe is how they made all of their experimentations seem natural. The simplicity that made Shabazz Palaces sound so raw is virtually nonexistent on Blackup

i've been listening to Black Up for a while and it blew me away. like the first time i heard Madvillainy. i dig that they pushed their style really far for this album.
RE: Cudi delay. typical. rappers hype shit up forever then when its time to show, DELAY! Not Bricksquad though. come 10:17, their shit will be ready to go.
That is a terrible fucking "remix", oh my god.Jason's Ultimatum said:
The original track, for comparison.
Given the fact that Falside produced both tracks, how he could think the second beat was anything but trash is baffling.

I leaned Dep, but both of them were banging. I thought Bad Boy might come back, but them came Shine. Da wackness..... Shine was worse than awful and proof that Puff signed Dep and Rob with nothing but dumb luck.
The Loon album was even >>>> Shine.
I gotta find that Loon CD I think.
kamspy said:
Shit you know Puffy had fuck all to do with signing them. Some A&R dude slipped them in behind puffy's back while he was busy doing blow with Donald Trump and Martha Stewart off some underage chinese hooker's asses. Shyne and Loon were what Diddy really wanted. A Biggie and Mase clone to try to fill in for his lost cash cows.
Red Cafe is standing in line somewhere with a ticket in his hand for an appointment with success he won't get. Fred the Godson may have just taken the next ticket.Blackace said:
Diddy's too busy sweettalking Ross (edit; and Nicki, but I think he got rejected out of that) of late to care about producing his own artists. When's the last time Diddy went all out trying to support and develop an artist? I don't know if it's that, or if he just signs one trick ponies and delays all their albums indefinitely unless they're blockbusters. How the hell Diddy is still relevant and considered successful in terms of music today, escapes me.
I'm not a fan of Fred the Godson either.
Kid Cudi - Perfect is the Word
This is the single for Cudi rock album
Since it ain't actually rap, not sure if it even belongs here lol

Cudi, I might have the biggest man crush on you but this is pure asscheeks ontop of ass. My ears are fucking angry at me for listening to this shit. I would have a greater time listening to a white girl peeing into a can of ravioli.The M.O.B said:

Should be in the rapping bible: Never make a "new sounding" rock or electro album. Just don't do it. Leave it for the dudes who know what they're doing.The M.O.B said:
But, I remember hearing this song when it was called "Runaway." Cudi performed the acapella but I had no idea the actual product would sound so bad.

I give him props for it, I just don't have too much faith in the project.Blackace said:

People need to know their limits. Clearly he has no business making rock music. Instead of wasting our time, his own time, and everyone involved's time...he should be doing what he is good at. If I was Cudi, the minute I heard that song, I would have burned it and sat down to right some more emo rap music instead.

Some of the music he raps/sings to has rock influences and came out to be so much better than whatever that was.siddx said:
I thank Rebirth for Drop the World, but that's just about it.Blackace said:
Also Lupe did the whole rock thing. That didn't work out either...
There's nothing wrong with experimentation with new sounds, that's how we get unique sounds and refreshing music afterall, but this seems like a case of yes-men though really. Integrating rock into hip hop isn't a sin by default, all of you can provide countless examples yourself of it being well done.
But CuDi songs lately are missing what made A KiD Named CuDi and MotM1 so memorable and magical really. CuDi put his life out there as it is, and for lack of better words, was on some real shit. MotM2 was much darker and less real, and less quality. The lonely stoner became the lonely cokehead and now he's just.. a confused sober. He's not the same person he established himself as, and doesn't seem to want to make the same music either.

Yes, I agree, nothing wrong with experimenting and trying something new. But so many artists seem to lack the ability to set aside ego and acknowledge when they have shit the bed and made an audio abortion. I have a ridiculous ego and yet 80% of the beats I make end up deleted because I can recognize when I have failed and created something nobody should ever hear.

What a shame rappers blame the fans whenever their shitty "left field" attempt is received poorly. Seems like Blu is next up; NoYork is going to be a piece of shit
