In a time and place where rappers like Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, and Juicy J, Kid Cudi can be overlooked since his music is so different; some even argue that his music is a combination of multiple genres- not just rap.
“Cudi lives easily in the hip-hop, indie rock, pop, and R&B worlds – a diversity that shows in his innovative music and his all-embracing persona. He is a born storyteller who brings a positive, life-affirming message to his brilliant lyrical flow and compelling music,” stated Universal Motown’s, a record label, President.
Probably the most well known song by Kid Cudi is “Pursuit of Happiness.”
With this one song, Cudi changed the way others viewed not only him but life itself. Similar to President of Universal Motown, Cudi does bring those “positive messages” into the songs lyrics.
One of most iconic lines from his song: I'm on the pursuit of happiness. I know everything that shines ain't always gold I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good
The message Cudi is trying to get across to his listeners is that everything that looks like a good thing- is necessarily a good thing. However, one should pursue their journey towards happiness because once one reaches their happiness, it’s all worth it.
“Pursuit of Happiness” has been made into many different covers ranging from acoustic to party, dub-step versions.
Kid Cudi currently has three albums out: “Man on the Moon I,” “Man on the Moon II” and his newest album that came out last year- “Indicud.”
“Man on the Moon I,” and “Man on the Moon II” II have a very similar sound to them, but Indicud really shows Cudi’s indie rock persona.
It has also been recently announced that Cudi is releasing a new album in 2015.
However, Cudi shocked all his fans with tweet that stated that the new album, “Satellite Flight” is actually being released this February rather than next year!
Kid Cudi then tweeted how excited he is for his fans to hear this album and reassures them they will love it.
“That’s what you get for being so patient with me,” Kid Cudi stated.
Cudi fans all over the world eagerly await for the month of February to come around to be able to experience “Satellite Flight.”
