prime cudi was completely unique from anything else out, nothing even compared
Cudi never gets the credit for being one of the most original artists of our generation. Literally no one sounded like Cudi during the MOTM era
Ye and Drake get a lot of credit for changing the sound of hip hop and making it more emotional and vulnerable, but Cudi deserves just as much credit for his impact

Facts, 808s wouldn't have happened like it did without Cudi and Drake talked a lot about how influential 808s was for him around that time. Cudi fr a missing link
This album and it's aesthetics for the time is heavily influential, I don't care what anyone says.

Facts
i wouldnt say punk is the right word ngl

Future got a lot of style from Cudi too, he references him all the time
Did you see the shows tho

Always thought cudi was moreso paying homage to like grunge
I remember when going through some s*** and having this on repeat back in the day
Great album
I prefer it over MOTM honestly
Future got a lot of style from Cudi too, he references him all the time

I remember when Shia Lebouf was supposed to do a Cage movie his lil resurgence during that era was dope
this nigga got Mary J. singing his melodies, albums like this deserve to be properly discussed man. 5th listen today
Ngl, I feel like she represented that one side character who is important to the story, but not the sole focus like Uncle Charlie on MBDTF.
She really was feeling the s*** that Cudi was saying

Don’t Play This Song is top 5 Cudi. Not a song to listen to every time though, feelings so deep on this
Pretty sure this was the first album I ever bought. Sophomore in high school and drove straight to target to pick this thing up and bought some new headphones. Laid and in bed and zoned out.
initial reaction was “oh this is cool” and I loved it but mostly because of the beats and cudi doing his thing I didnt relate to the lyrics at all. He was just another cool stoner rapper like Wiz at the time
The entire school year it seemed like majority of my classmates f***ed with the album and would hear random people blasting it during track meetings and what not. Me and the homies had it in rotate doing random shenanigans. Like egging/tee-peeing houses was “raging” to us lol.
As I got older & going through the drunken outings of college house parties and feeling isolated and just using alcohol to cope made me relate to the album even more so and it finally “clicked” of what Scotty was going through
10/10 album and I’ll be forever a fan of the Cudster because of this gem
