The beginnings are followed by an end, in the in-between time I'm not running or hiding. See things do come around, and make sense eventually. Things do come around, but some things trouble me ; The people I met and the places I been, are all what made me the man Im so proudly am.
Kid Cudi makes the most beautiful music today. Hands down. If I'm ever having turmoil in my life, going through something or need help, listening to a Kid Cudi song makes everything better.
kid cudi really gets to me. i listen to his music and think, how would my life be without weed? or alcohol? so i think about how my life would be without drugs and all this other crazy shit... and guess what i do. yup, i go and smoke that oh so sweet joint... and forget about it all.
this video is so creepy, bcuz that's not even Kid Cudi! It's Jean-Michael Basquiat! That's not the creepy thing. The lyrics parallel the video. For instance, @ 0:35 where the doctor tells him "Get it thru your big head, you were so close to being dead!" Excellecent!! Both Jean Michael Basquiat and his reincarnation, Kid Cudi.
@zochiesword dont make those gay ass taylor gang type comments on a cudi video ever again. And you guys that gave this guy thumbs up?...you..what have you done..
its fucking gay he overdosed =( he was only 27 he didnt have to go out that soon..... what is cudi like 27 or sumin right now too.... The song makes sense =)
@Axl702 Are you dumb? This is MY favorite song by him, to be honest it's one of his best songs and it has A LOT of meaning to it. So don't call this song, 'Not that great.' Because it obviously is great...
This song makes everything in life that much more sad, as soon as the song comes on my stomach tenses and i fight to hold back tears, the song is just so good and makes your feelings that much more intense that you cant help but to listen to it over and over again even if it means feeling miserable while you do it...
@emagicz Wow, thats so true dude. I didnt think anyone else really felt that way. Alot of cudis songs do that to me, but i still listen to them cuz the lyrics reach out to me so much. Cudi's the man!
Kid Cudi is gonna be one of those musicans who end up gettin' assasinated for makin' the most amazing music ever heard... and if that happens i'm goin' to cry for days...
@coolestjew55 number 1 was a happier time in his life full of bliss and new adventures. number 2 he was doing though an internal struggle, hence why number 2 is deeper and darker.
@jjjred1987 The man in the video is Jean Michel Basquiat he was an artist who went by the name SaMo, he died young. Kid Cudi is like Basquiat in a multitude of ways, its easy to believe that Cudder is Basquiat reincarnated.
this song made me cry, basquiat is one of the biggest inspirations in life im manic depressive ive gone through millions of hateful and disgusting step dads who are abusive and i have suffered heavy addiction,an im only in highschool. every day i wake up and say dad wat would it have been like with you here. then paint and draw and get lost in my work and then at the end of the day i take a puff of some green and say didnt need em anyways
This song is so good if you are feeling down. it makes me feel that anything can happen. like no matter what is going on. dont ever fucking think you are nothing less then fucking perfect. and that with fucking time everything will be better. and you should want to be different then other people. fuck all the normalizers out there. you do you.
Oh, and to the folks who think basquiat and cudi are "interchangeable?" Get a life. Cudi may pound the drugs like basquiat but he has yet to produce a body of comparable work. Hopefully he will surpass the "dilettante du monde" Kanye and hit it with a major (maybe.) Though, this song does bode well for Cudi (and I do appreciate this video. Damn good job son.)
what the video means is that basquiat is reincarnated and becomes kid cudi and now he is asking when did i (basquiat) become a ghost thumbs up if you agree
@iSingJlofton I was thinking more along the lines of this representing Cudi's possible struggle with drug abuse. Basquiat died from a drug overdose; Cudi acts somewhat as Jimi Hendrix in "Erase Me," who died in a similar way. It's like the past is a reflection of what he could become.
I really don't understand this dude, all I care is that this music is fucking great, and all I want to do is party every fucking day, fuck pop stars, and basically live a life of sin, have a son, and continue the legacy.
reason for the ponytail is in this vid hes kinda playing jean-michel basquiat, a grafiti artist who was big in 80's, ... kinda like just different than the rest, abstract type art, like cudis music compared to the crap music you hear on radio's about nothing, just bragging, guns, drugs, hustling...... all bullshit
