 Hey, what's good y'all? It's your boy down from the down show and I'm back with another episode of my review and commentary on my favorite music videos. Alright, so I found out today that one of my favorite artists, favorite rappers, just favorite star in general, Kid Cudi, is getting ready to release Man on the Moon trilogy, which will be coming out December 11. And honestly, I'm really excited. Like I can't express to y'all how excited I am because number one, I am from Cleveland, Ohio. Born and raised. That's my home. That's that's hard right there. You know what I mean? Like I started my career and grew up my whole childhood. It's Cleveland, Ohio. All that that whole lifestyle, playing football, running a track, listening to music and growing up in high school. Everybody was like really coming out of their shell about being an artist and a creator. And to find out, to find out about Kid Cudi growing up was really, really dope. Like, you know, I didn't know him personally, but like, you know, in the streets of Cleveland, when it comes to arts and rap and music and stuff like that, your name gets around. You know what I'm saying? So to see him where he started and where he is now, it's just like I respect him because he had been through so much his journey and anybody that's a Kid Cudi fan, and you too, if y'all are a big fan of Kid Cudi, please let me know your thoughts about him coming out with this CD because I can't wait. And it's funny, you can see how old I am because I'm like, I'm talking about CDs. But for real, for real, like seeing where he started, listening to his first mixtape, seeing him, you know, going on tour, concert and coming out of Cleveland. That was a big deal. People making out of Cleveland. It's like a very big deal for our culture in Cleveland, Ohio. So I was happy and I always loved his music. The first song for me that really hit me, one of them was definitely Day and Night. Like, I used to put that song going on repeat. I used to put it on repeat. I just listened to it. I was just going on my zone. And then, you know, even before that, I believe Man on the Moon. I ain't going to sing it because, you know, I don't want to get blocked or anything like that. But Man on the Moon was one of my tracks as well. It was definitely different, but I just loved the track. And that was the thing. I love artists that come out with something different that makes them who they are. Kid Cuddy gave you that every single time. And I feel like to see Kid Cuddy what he has done in the music world, he has really changed the game. He became that star. And then only that he started doing TV shows. He started doing movies. He really started showcasing his skills. And of course, y'all already know that he was working with Kanye West. He was working with Travis Scott. He was working with so many people. But Kid Cuddy really brought his signature to the culture of hip hop. He really did. And it became something else that was like listening to his music was his signature to the culture of hip hop. He really did. And it became something else that was like listening to his music was listening to an artist in a scientific lab. And you went into his world and you got lost. And you can see the comments now on his Instagram. People talking about, I am so ready to cry. I'm ready to cry and listen to your music because Kid Cuddy gave you that feeling. From day and night, pursue a happiness. I mean so much. And the style that we carry in our music, you can tell. And if you grew up listening to Kid Cuddy and Cleveland, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But every time Kid Cuddy showcased himself on somebody else's music, you knew it was him. He had that humming, that you know, he had that hum that really was like, oh God, Kid Cuddy's here. I'm ready to get into my emotions. I'm ready to get into that zone. And for me, I am an artist. So when I listen to certain music, it really lets me tap into my creativity. And when I put on Kid Cuddy, I don't have to be under no influence. I would just be under the influence of just music. And a lot of people really was connected with Kid Cuddy because of the fact that he battled with so much mental health wise. And a lot of us that was fans wanted just for him to get better because you don't want to see nobody go through those things. Kid Cuddy's gave us so many things, man. It's just so amazing to kind of hear that he's coming out with something. I'm truly excited. And I hope this album definitely comes out December 11th. I know it's been hard for creators to drop anything on time because of the pandemic. But if this album really does come out December 11th is going down. Now before that, before he came out with this album being released, you know, he had did something with Eminem. That track was crazy. Then before that, I believe he came out with something with Travis Scott, which was showcased on Fortnite. Listen, when I heard Kid Cuddy's voice, I went crazy. Like I just started jumping up and down. My hands started bouncing left and right. I mean, I was just in my room in my zone and I was like, oh, yeah, it's over with. Like anytime I heard Kid Cuddy on a track, I was losing my mind. The other song that really did it for me was Harder the Lion. Soundtrack to My Life. That was crazy too. Sky Mind Fall. Oh goodness. And if I was in a bad move, Mr. Solo Dolo. And what I was hearing about the album was I believe there's a part two to Mr. Light to Solo Dolo. Oh listen, I'm telling you like this, I can't wait for this album to come out. Like I'm definitely about to zone out. Now I'm a big Kid Cuddy fan. So Kid Cuddy years ago, years ago, I think I was still living in Cleveland at the time, right? So Kid Cuddy had this one short film. He had a short film where he was like a, like he was just going around like, you know, murdering people. Like he was just like this killer and it was just crazy and I was just like, oh snap. Like, you know, he's just going around killing people. It's like a short film. It was a crazy short film. But for me, I wasn't surprised that Kid Cuddy would make something like this. Why? Because Kid Cuddy always came off different. Like there was even in the beginning of his career, Kid Cuddy was always different. And Kid Cuddy always brought that to the table when he was creating. So seeing him make short films, seeing him do acting, seeing him getting his back and do all these things. Like for me as a fan, I was never surprised. I was just only excited because I just wanted something that said Kid Cuddy on it. And now that December 11th is album coming out. If you haven't seen the album cover, it should be right here. So seeing this album cover come out and seeing like the playlist coming. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. It is about to be crazy. This trilogy is about to be nasty and I can't wait. You never know. So I really hope that this album comes out on time. And I know that like y'all see how excited I am. Because these are my true actual opinions about listening to Kid Cuddy music. Like he puts you in the zone. Like you don't even have to be influenced. Now some people will be under the influence of facts. But for me, I don't even need none of that. All I really need is my amp turned all the way up. Put on the Kid Cuddy track in the zone now. And even before I was even doing this video review, I was listening to Kid Cuddy just because, because like he really gets me in my zone. And I mean, every video, if you think about it, every video that Kid Cuddy guys actually created, it was always different. It always was a vibe. It was always giving you something to feel. And I just, I just know that this is going to really be interesting seeing this album come out because we don't know what to expect. But when you expect one thing, it's for Kid Cuddy to be Kid Cuddy and it's really, it's really good to see him come back and give us an album that we all have been waiting for. And I really hope that his mental health is like, it's better because you never want to see an artist in the career in that space. But when we do go into that space and see him out at Kid Cuddy, we come out with something crazy and not crazy in a bad way but in a way of just like, wow, what a story that was. So we're really about to get his story. And you know he's going to, y'all know Kid Cuddy fans, you already know that he's going to come with some creativity. The man is creative, is crazy. Like the things that he's done, mind blowing. So yeah, I can't wait. So let me ask you this. What are just some of your favorite songs coming from Kid Cuddy? Now I can make a, I can do a whole list on here. We'll be here for like 20, 30 minutes talking about it. But I just want to kind of know like, what are some of your favorite music videos and some of his dopest collaborations? Because he had a couple collaborations with Travis Scott. That was crazy. Every time and I feel like, no disrespect to Travis Scott because Travis Scott is an amazing artist. But I felt like Kid Cuddy was like his big brother when it came to the music. Like not trying to little bro Travis Scott but it was just like, when Kid Cuddy got on that track you could just feel like the big brother of Kid Cuddy coming into the room. It's the same way how we feel when Andre D. Thousand pops up on a song. You hear Andre D. Thousand in the studio or you hear him that he's, you know, collaboration on the song featuring. It's like Big Brother Andre D. Thousand is in the building. I've always felt like when Kid Cuddy came in the room he wasn't a little brother. He was the big brother coming in the room because at the time that Kid Cuddy came out with his music he was changing the game. Like we was always getting a hardcore rap. We was always getting a conscious rap. Kid Cuddy came with something that was like from the moon for real. Like you heard Kid Cuddy, you thought you was on the moon after that. Like you didn't know to put Kid Cuddy as a rock star. Electronic, you don't even know what to give him. So I just said, hey, that's just Kid Cuddy. Like for me, that's what I always just said. I'm like, yo, that's just Kid Cuddy, man. That's what he brings. Like Kid Cuddy doesn't bring that. You know, I don't know what else he's going to bring because what he's bringing is really his whole style and swag. And from Cleveland, we were so used to seeing that. We like, yeah, that's Cuddy. Like, you know, the people that was rockin' with him growing up, like we knew, we was like, yo, that's Cuddy, man. Here he come. He about to come with that flow. He about to make you feel like you under the influence or something. But I just want to know, y'all, what are some of your favorite tracks from Kid Cuddy? If you're somebody that does not listen to Kid Cuddy, you don't even know what I'm talking about. You just watch my videos because you're showing me love and you're supporting me. I love you for that. You know what I'm saying? Like, whoever you are that's watching this and you don't even know who Kid Cuddy is, let me do you a favor. I want you to listen to this album. I'm gonna give you this album. I want you to listen to Man on the Moon, the end of day, okay? Get the expand version so you can listen to the music and also watch the videos. I'm telling you like this, that album, I feel like that would be a good setup for you. In my opinion, so I know my Kid Cuddy fans on there are like, no, put them on to this. I mean, there were so many bangers on Man on the Moon in the day. Like, y'all know this. Like, this album right here, this album right here had bangers on it all day. Like, you can really go through this album and sit back and chill. He gave you everything. He took me back to Cleveland. Like, I had moved out of Cleveland and it was like looking for a new place to live. And when I moved out of Columbus, all I played was Kid Cuddy. Like soundtrack to my life, come on. Like, that album was crazy. Like, I got it right here. Like, as soon as I'm done with this, I'm about to put this on. Like, that's why it's getting ready to press play. As soon as I get done finishing this video. So, my review on that is, listen to this album before December 11th comes out. But if you had a chance to just listen to all his music, think about all the futures he has done. Welcome to Heartbreak. That's just one Travis Scott, all the Travis Scott's features that he have done. Like, he got a track, Frequency. He got the other track with 100,000. He have a track with Pharrell. He has a track with so many people out here and Kid Cuddy influence on there. It's all over it. So, yeah. If you want to listen to an album right now, right right now, like, as soon as you get done watching this video, I would definitely say I feel like you should definitely check out Man on the Moon in the day. Check that out. Let me know your thoughts. But, what is your album that you refer people to listen to if they haven't listened to Kid Cuddy? Think about that. Who would you have them listen to? Like, yeah, keep them 100 with me. Who you gonna have them listen to as soon as they say they don't know who Kid Cuddy is, what track you gonna play? For me, if I have to have a track for people to listen to they never heard Kid Cuddy, it would be Day and Night. In my opinion. Now, if I'm in Cleveland and I got somebody to tell me they're not a fan of, like, Cleveland rappers that have made it out, I would put on Hire with them Future and Check the Ripper. If you never heard of Hire, Check the Future and Check the Ripper on Kid Cuddy's album Man on the Moon in the day, if they never heard it, I'm putting that track on. But, I would real say Day and Night is the track I'm going to put on. If nobody has told me, if someone said to me I never heard Kid Cuddy, that's cool. I'm putting on Day and Night. I'm putting on Day and Night. Plain and simple. Alright y'all, so that is my thoughts and review today. My commentary on Kid Cuddy. Don't forget, y'all, Man on the Moon, Trilogy, The Chosen is on its way out December 11. Check out the artwork on his Instagram. People are talking about it right now. We are all excited.
