Kid Cudi proves himself... again.

yeah yeah, I know. You think he's a sellout, untalented, lame, mainstream, unimportant, etc. Don't waste your breath. DO NOT BE FOOLED! Nevermind the mindless, massive college fan following who don't know "Erase Me" from "Daps n' Pounds". Nevermind the strictly pothead Cudi fan base, they don't get it either. If you're an rap aficionado look no further than the mixtapes to discover Cudi's legitimacy. I'll admit, although his first debut is good the concept almost overshadows the music... I would barely even consider that a downside. Kid Cudi's got something to say. Make no mistake about that... and to all those who know better, you'll agree that there aren't many artists like Cudi out there. This new album compensates for everything you missed in the mixtapes and the debut. There's a certain space that Cudi and his production team (Emile & Plain Pat amongst others) construct that helps complete the aesthetic and thesis of this new work. Looking for something different? A new mix of hip-hop and electronic? Look no further. It's G.O.O.D.
