this better than paul simon version. I was gona give simon props on the song until that chorus started playin "slip out the back jack, drop off da key lee" im like WTF -erasing comment-
@JustMikeOnlyMike yeah I guess that's why the Paul Simon version is a modern classic and the Kid Cudi version relies on bad language to satisfy the fucktards like yourself who sit around derping all day. Dumbass.
@NeoTechUK Saying someone relies on bad language as an insult would be a lot more effective if you didn't yourself use "bad language" in your comment. Maybe you should rethink why you are really here and what you are saying.
@wailernaylor its actually Steve Gadds beat, driving Paul Simon's tune, owned by a record company with no integrity ripped by a cunt with a lust for fame and no talent of his own. much like eminem :)
@RamRocckk69 I'm not dissing the song dumbass. The guy I replied to said Cudders "stole" the beat from eminem's murder murder. I was stating the fact that he actually got the beat off of Paul Simon. Derp.
its a bunch of samples, looped drum samples, some bad guitar samples (possibly used one of those instrument vsti romplers), some acapella rips of Paul and some really crap synth samples that must have been free because no-one would actually sell them. at least he can sorta hold a tune but it aint much.
Come by and check out my music, i am a hip hop artist trying to just have people check out my music. I make it for enjoyment no fame no glory. Just want people to hear me out through my music. I'm not asking for likes, but it helps
Yeah, I know. When some people like a song that is a spin-off (ex: Stewie's Rocket Man Cover (Family Guy) is a spin-off of Rocket Man- Elton John) people say "Elton John made a song off of this". lol. It's a joke.
@The128drum why is it less creative to sample a beat? listen to watch the throne, kanye west is a genius at sampling, otis being the most popular. doesn't make them talentless, they're finding a way to bring music form a completely different genre and mixing it up with their own which is WAY more impressive than just sitting down at a computer and making electronic beats
@skiman6935 ok if thats "creative" why don't they learn to play the fucking instrument and come up with the beat themselves instead of taking someone else's "creation and not even crediting steve gadd himself. I doubt anyone here even knows who that "artist" truly is. Complete dumbass ignorance.
@TheXs20drummer well going with my example of kanye west, he DOES know how to play the keyboard and he can play around with some paercussions, however, the man is a genius at sampling other's voices and making music out of them... examples, gotta have it, murder to excellence, new day, and who gon stop me.... thats all just ONE album, he does it all the time. and hearing someone else's stuff is inspiration, so instead of tampering with it and ruining it, just do it over the original beat
Did my previous comment say "@The128drum"? No. I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm just stating they both have the same beat, and Murder Murder came out in 1998.
@THATS1CK i don't think it's the same but its def very similar, but em did just release a song not too long ago called 50 ways with the original hook from the steve gladd and paul simon song, and it's way better than this
omg, I just zone out to this song so hard. I love this... I haven't listened to Cudi in forever and I just listened to this track and I'm in love all over again. amazing
Yet another reason Cudi is awesome is because he has more than one type of song. Slow and fast. All f his music doesnt sound the same an isnt the same ol' shit unlike most mainstream artists. Thumbs up if you know what im sayin.
yeah i thought this was john legend the very first time i heard this that i even had my friends sit in my car and listen to it and say who they thought it would be and most of them said john legend.. was quite funny to see their reactions when they found out it was Cudi.
@rkoondeckyeah i thought this was john legend the very first time i heard this that i even had my friends sit in my car and listen to it and say who they thought it would be and most of them said john legend.. was quite funny to see their reactions when they found out it was Cudi.
Whenever I stay up all night which is pretty much every night now. This is all I play. There's something about it. It like touches you but yet its about different ways of making records. Something about CuDi that can bring you good memories. And quite frankly I don't want him to turn into a Wiz where he changes COMPLETELY. I love this guy and I would love to meet him someday. My idol
really do hope everyone knows where this song is from. I like Cudi's take, but I feel like he leaves out the best part, the tempo change in the original is awesome.
