KiD CuDi - Erase Me (David Letterman Live)

[Choppaaah]

CD quality live performer

[MagnumTGundraw]

When he performs here you can tell he's completely in the zone... solid

[tonetonevolume]

nice bassline on da last chorus

[tonetonevolume]

i like this

[TheWhiteMVP]

I dont know why but right here he reminds me on Lenny Kravitz xD

[mintyhippo47]

@TheWhiteMVP more like jimi hendrix :)

[AyJayAlGood]

KiD CuDi .. is just rated on another level in my head

Mr. Fucking Rager !

[calendartransit]

Weezer is back.

[Kickflips88]

I thought the drummer was done for when the stick flew outta his hand.

[TheHawksley]

This version is so much better without Kanye. Tbh.

[burleytrojans]

@TheHawksley I quite like kanyes bit tbh, but I think he could have rapped a bit more of a story rather than vagueish sentences

[giggs102]

LOL. how did that white guitarist get a job with a entire black band..

[soccerpml21]

@giggs102 theres another white dude in the back next to the drummer

[jacobabrownful]

David letterman doesnt know how to chestbump haha

[CoreyL11]

Kanye got owned by a guitar solo.

[cigaretteskinny21]

I want to marry Kid Cudi.

[kaulitzTwinsLoveYaa]

First I was like omg is slash gonna play this song

[TheFly087]

Tom Cruise plays the leadguitar here :D

[b15bomber]

Better than that lil Wayne lil john lil dick shit but this sounds like reggae and maroon 5 but really unoriginal.... But at least it isn't bieber

[n8vspartan77]

hes playing rythm, basically keeping time with the song, so easy ppl he isnt tryna pull a lil wayne and pretend he can play, its not hard to play rythm. AT ALL

[MTY211]

Yo stop hating on the real cuz life is to short and he's only doing stuff he likes and getting better at it we all do different things and we should and shouldn't worry before we all leave this world soon

[pandore70]

cudi could sing, untill rihanna and spears

[carraldo791]

The problem is : Kid Cudi didn't know how to play guitar before WZRD !

[mekz100]

cudi is just COOL

[melisadevlin41]

I thought he was going to be awful when singing live but, he's actually not that bad.

[Seatown30]

Kid cudi is talented but to say he can "play" guitar is a stretch. he played 3 basic bar chords. if he could realyl play he would keep the rhythm while singing and play the solo at the end and he did not. nor has he ever shown he can.

[saraparis1221]

@Seatown30 kid cudi is a rapper, not a guitar player. if he called himself a "guitar player" i would understand your complaint, but no, hes a rapper, guitar is not his specialty, at least he tried to do something new?

[thatjudekid]

@Seatown30 Uhh... he's a rapper... i'm just happy he can pick up a guitar. sorry he isn't slash?

[Milkman134100]

Cudi doesnt even have to prove that he can play guitar he is still cool as fuck man

[327thatdude]

hahaha anyone see the drummer lose his stick at 2:51

[joeyisverycool]

Guitar solo instead of Kanye West is much better.

[daydreamer1103]

Oh my gosh. The drummer made my day.  But Cudi is still epic too! oh my gosh!

[stephwinss]

Amazing !!!!!

[Gervais18]

wtf is marlon wayans doing on the mic?

[TheRagoShow]

@STFOX543 lil wayne is on the drums cant you see?

[lolitsAc]

Unlike most people Live Kid Cudi Sounds exactly the same, not auto tuned. Just the way I like it.:)

[TannerAlbin]

Black man slapppin da bass

[thamis222]

I like this version most, because there is no Kayne :D

[Dodgers2147]

this is not rap....this is music

[slickbeat2]

11 people got erased

[jadejade33]

I like cudis little dance at the end hah

[Spartanxx707]

10 ppl have no lifes

[DACappola]

"Did somebody say smokin" hahaha yeah buddy Cudi probably smoked before that performance

[voodooblueskid]

not even close.. good for him for learning but he's got a lifetime of work if he wants to get ANYWHERE close to hendrix

[7thvenom]

@voodooblueskid  A LIFETIME LOLOL 1000 LIFETIMES TO EVEN GET NEAR HENDRIX !!

[Bcharris120]

Jimi Hendrix reincarnated?

[stone072]

Slash sould've joined him. That would be the best!

[Rocky12213]

damn he sounds awesome live

[the3georges]

@Rocky12213 i saw him live over the summer and it was amazing dude!!!

[coubs38]

drummers a boss hahha that was sick he wasn't even phased

[123beachfc]

He is the only person these days that sounds the same from the track to live



[WollverineLKQ]

This song is so much better without Kanye West.

[drews0322]

SOOO FUCKING AWESOME



[ThomasEdwardsLive]

WHERE'S KANYE? :D

[STFOX543]

unlike lil wayne, kid cudi can play guitar

[wisemanchamp]

@STFOX543 not really... afroman can tho /watch?v=PxdVGRdsh3Q

[TacticsnGameplay]

@STFOX543 except he isnt really playing

[7thvenom]

@TacticsnGameplay  LOLOL EXACTLY HE PLAYED LIKE 2 HALF ASS CHORDS !!!

[stayup414]

@STFOX543 lil wayne can actually play the guitar

[rorywegians]

@stayup414 ya,but he's shit

[stayup414]

@rorywegians nah, he's pretty good actually, don't just be a hater for no reason.

[synysterwylde627]

@stayup414 -_____-

[TheCurrymanEffect]

@STFOX543 No he can't, he's just hitting the top string over and over. The guy in the background's playing the chords.

[CoreyL11]

@STFOX543 He's really not doing anything tough lol.. This song would sound pretty much the same without his guitar part. He's just stringing the guitar around his neck for the same reason Lil Wayne does.

[giggs102]

@STFOX543 well. kid cudi cant really either...

[getmorebrainmatter]

@STFOX543 neither of them can

[NuclearGuru350]

@STFOX543 yeah, just barely.

[VisualAural]

2:51 flawless recovery. 

[OpuSIII]

@VisualAural Fuckin awesome

[Dougherty888]

@VisualAural 2:51 Slight of Hand PRO!

[mightymouse5565]

[h8rone]

[MrParkour101]

@h8rone cudi



[TheEntlebuch]

@h8rone Lil wayne can't play guitare. :D Just look at him!

[stringwhore]

i could totally out solo him..... and buddy looks like jamie fox ftw!

[Antseyy17]

hahahaha FAIL 2.50

[Antseyy17]

8 people are fucking with kid cudi when they fuck with kid cudi there fucking with everyone that smokes weed.

[Tomir2]

8 people should keep on running if they don't want us to erase them.



[Tomir2]

8 people should keep on running if they don't want us to erase them.

[thebiibzz]

those glasses make him look like Wiz Khalifa.. ew..

[M3gaBouncyBall]

I will love you forever Cudi, no matter what, but why do you have to act so weird in this, it scares me D:

[905Droidz509]

Kanye got owned by a guitar solo 2:52

[The4sk8ers]

The one rapper that sounds good edited AND LIVE...(coughcough) Lil wayne.

[kudosonthedeathray]

Darn?

[thekonflict1]

kid cudi= music

[mahavishnuxc]

"...Popular rap artist?"

....There was almost little to no rap influence in that song, just TALENT.

[iluvhaters233]

he sings it all obnoxious

[Kroush7]

@iluvhaters233 The song is kinda meant to be a little obnoxious so it makes sense.

[GUINTMAN1]

Guy Loses his drum stick lol.

[oveloz19]

@GUINTMAN1 and recovers like a boss! Ha

[rorywegians]

damn now i have to find cocksnauze' comment

[zach77moon]

at least he can play the guitar unlike Lil Wayne lol

[918JAmeS918]

Hahahaha I love how people are comparing him to Jimi hendrix. You realize he played maybe 2 cords right? Hahaha I LOVE kid cudi but he doesn't play guitar. He is better live though. He put on one of the best shows I have ever seen

[meamud]

@918JAmeS918 They are comparing him to Jimi Hendrix because in his music video it showed him in a concert with the Jimi hendrix hairstyle and clothing, not because he is as good as him at guitar.

[DaKingOfU55]

jimmy hendrix.. Lenny K... Kid Cudi

[miryayo]

lol at the white guy

[discgolferbo]

Anybody else notice the drummer fling the stick and casually grab another? Props to him.

[supergrizz120]

[brasiliennr1]

[jbaird51]

[LilDimeJDHDofficial]

[farizzal]

@LilDimeJDHDofficial lol he's not even close to Jimi.

[LilDimeJDHDofficial]

@farizzal im talking about his looks lol.. he kinda looks like jimi.

[farizzal]

@LilDimeJDHDofficial yea he does. but he is playing guitar (or trying to) so i couldnt take any chances.

[BoBycarpimper]

OMG ! ! ! he's not drunken ! :D

[aldrchase]

I only came here to see if he could actually hit the high notes live. Love Cudi :)

[WillMister31]

@aldrchase and i'm never going to doubt him again!!!! and the high notes aren't the only ones he can hit, he has a really cool and amazing voice!! KiD CuDi 4EvEr!

[kahled12]

thumbs up at minute 2:51 :D

[GetatMe2311]

he has his own genre of music.. Cudi

[MrFaiyaz12]

He is really good live

[Cudderization]

fool lost his sticks on 2:49

[Th3StevenRoberts]

@Cudderization haha he pulled that other one out quick as fuck

[That0neN3rd]

:') tears of joy

[ilikevines]

@dropout1321

i read he and dot da genius have a side project which is pretty much a rock album, cudi's learning guitar atm

[dropout1321]

he needs to make a rock album...please make a rock album

[ilikevines]

hip hop and indie rock, i like this direction

[Skylarmay1]

Thumbs up if you saw the drummer throw his stick . 2:51

[axelrodxx]

he's so fucking good live

[jadejade33]

3:24 yer ha ha

[liesinpale]

0:36 to skip the retard known as Dave Letterman.

[captainbannana69]

Haha drummer got a little too excited good thing he had a spare or he would've had to play that shit with his hands

[MeGiiiGaGa]

2:51, wtf ? :D

[treestar]

I like Kid Cudi as well but I don't appreciate people bashing rap when they clearly don't have enough knowledge of the art form to critique it. Most rappers who are truly lyrical, with knowledge, with depth, with a vision bigger than most mainstream rap don't get radio play, don't go mainstream, they are either underground or underrated. The good ones that do make mainstream like Kid Cudi are still part of HipHop regardless of what you think of the genre. HipHop needs to be revived tis all

[treestar]

Am I getting a Bob Marley vibe here?

[0t0ku]

Gotta love that smooth transition of drumsticks right there. Happens all the time to my drummer friends, though that kind of smooth isnt something you can practice.

[bbiidoublezy]

Kanye, am really happy for you and am gonna let you rap, but this guitar solo is pretty sick

[M3gaBouncyBall]

Wen Cudi releases his next album, I will NOT fuk'n miss his next performance on the David Letterman Show!!

[benzema7843]

2:50, Slick.

[ArleneArsenite]

hah drummer loses a stick and quick draws another. BADASS.

[kissfreak185]

@ArleneArsenite Thats what all drummers do pussy, if anyone is wondering were ArleneArsenite's comment is, it's one of the most liked at the top of the comments list

[sloanownyou]

@ArleneArsenite lol he came prepared

[greeksdorok]

@ArleneArsenite no duh, its not like hed stop playing

[washnwear68]

Can't blame him for taking advantage of an oppurtunity to get some more white people 2 get interested in him. "Can you say, 'Smokin'?" Dave don't know how good Cudi is. Thats alright, I guess.

[anon810]

Fuck you Kanye

[carrionj1991]

He is not a rapper! his music does not fit in with rap, cudi should have his own genre because if you think of it, his type of music really doesn't fit with any, and while there at it, make a cudi religion, shot i will join! Cuddism!!

[wowitsmike8]

@carrionj1991 It's still rap.

[zachdawson1822]

@wowitsmike8 ya more of a rock song

[KyleCanEnergize]

I was waiting on kayne then *Shred* :D

[08kwillz]

Love it when the person sounds even better live. Atta boy cudi

[SteveHarvey14]

Kid Cudi's voice is inspirational

[ScrollerRoller]

why not mclovin on the drums :(

[DuceKid24]

Hes defenitley fuckedd up

[yerffej009]

At 2:50 the drummer lost a stick lol

[M3gaBouncyBall]

@yerffej009 OMG! Just noticed that, sooo funny :DD Kinda weird that he has a back-up stick right there, lol.

[theguglicha1]

This version is better than with kanye west

[1moggiepie]

KiD CuDi is a great musician but could he sing good on the moon?

[7footballfanatic7]

Best rapper? more like Musician!!

[afrothunder1082]

Freakin beast!!! nough said

[123fayez]

2:51 fast reload

[JS0681]

Black Men + Kid Cudi = Cantiflas hahahahaha ( i love this song )

[memberid001]

this version is so much better than the original because there's one missing factor.

let me give you a hint: it starts with a K and rhymes with shmanye west

[memberid001]

does letterman always talk like that?

[wuckallbut]

fuck that drummer looked awesome when he lost the stick

[DoobieGangTV]

Greetings from the doobie gang..cudi went the fuck off....listen to this atlanta artist Pablo dude is dope!

[betsy1494]

no, letterman, cudi is not a popular "rap" artist. Kid Cudi > rap itself...
