Every now and then I go back to this album and MOTMII and think man Cudi came out the gate rolling and did it his own way. I remember being in high school and my homie feeling some type of way about Cudi being considered rap and how MOTMII was a “singing album” lol
Truth is he was just ahead of the curve
I remember this leaked while I was on vaacation. Had to wait til I got home to download on the family vacation. One of my favorite albums of all time.
It’s crazy to me how that new wave of rap fans that came in around 2016 never put the MOTM1 and 2 albums on that pedestal.
I realized it’s because sincerity makes them uncomfortable. They want rap to be “bleached a******, I took the top off the maybach” either ironic or hyper street
But on the other hand I’m glad that they never made these albums corny to like
MOTM1 and 2 paved the way for gkmc and TPAB. Those albums don’t happen if cudi didn’t do what he did. I know that’s a hot take to some of yall too but it’s facts. Alien Girl shows Kendrick was paying attention
Up to 2009, this was the best concept album yet

I hear you and I feel you, but Lupe’s Food & Liquor was really the introspective concept album that paved the way for that generation.

Fair that was another favorite of mine. But I don’t consider it a concept album
Cudi making a movie album with acts and narration changed everything
He could of kept that s***
