In his new album, Indicud, Kid Cudi is still the lonely stoner - only more intrepid now than ever. 7510_03_just_what_i_am_feat_ki ng_chip.mp3 [...]
Kid Cudi is one of rap's most enigmatic characters. After making it big off a fantastic mixtape , and a strong debut album , Cudi released the strange followup Man on the Moon II, which featured dark, space-y tracks and nihilistic tones. After that he made a strange, and not very good, garage rock side project WZRD. But finally, the kid named Cudi has returned to rap - mostly. While his new album Indicud is not his strongest effort, it is a worthy addition to the Cudi discography. [...]
Every week we will be featuring The Sweet Five! What's The Sweet Five you may ask? Well I'll drop you five sweet songs that you should listen to once a week, that will help you get over your mid-week slump and set sail towards the ever-nearing weekend! Ready? Okay! Kid Cudi - Unfuckwittable Cudi is back, as of last week, with the release of his new 18-track album Indicud. This song stood out hugely to me. This track screams vintage Cudi, just the [...]
Junip – Junip [Mute] Como quase sempre acontece quando um artista faz um disco autointitulado, o trio sueco comandado por José González (não estranhe o nome, ele nasceu na Argentina) tem como principal intenção firmar as características da banda, que agora oficialmente carrega um pouco do que González fez em seus trabalhos solo. O Folk Rock aparece como uma base sobre a qual um amplo número de referências se espalha. Your Life Your Call , por exemplo, apresenta essa característica multirreferencial do disco com flauta, percussão e vocais que apesar de resgatarem influências [...]
The final first-week numbers for Kid Cudi's supremely disappointing new album, Indicud , are in and it's looking pretty good for the Cleveland native. Despite leaks and weak reviews, the record still shipped 136,000 units and almost sold enough to top the Billboard. That spot went to Fall Out Boy and, um, LOL. But I digress. For those wondering, Cudi's previous albums, the two Man On The Moon projects, sold 104,000 and 169,000 copies in their first weeks. As for his WZRD album, it moved 66,000 units at the jump. [ via ]
So I've been rather busy and haven't been posting as consistently as I would've liked, henceforth this little recap post. I'm not gonna go into detail on all the songs featured; everything is just a collection of my pick's from the past week or so. Most notable are: 1) Lana 's "Young and Beautiful" off the upcoming Great Gatsby soundtrack 2) New Empire of the Sun !!! 3) Disclosure 's latest featuring Eliza Doolittle 4) "24k" feat. A$AP Rocky which samples one of [...]
Kid Cudi earlier this month announced he'd made the seemingly odd decision to leave G.O.O.D. Music , after Kanye West had taken the Cleveland MC under his wing for a few years and helped cultivate his career. The natural assumption was that there was some sort of rift between the two passionate, stubborn creatives. But Cudders just wanted to forge his own path, and start his own label (Wicked Awesome) , so there was no beef and the split was amicable. In fact, it went over so well that Kanye still wants Cudi to come [...]
By now, I know Kid Cudi , and our relationship's almost like a rebellious child and a disconcerted parent. When he debuted in 2009 with The Man on the Moon: The End of Day , I was disappointed that it didn't live up to his 20082s A Kid Named Cudi . By the time Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager landed in 2010, I found hope by realizing he'd never be that man on the mixtape. Now, with his third solo album, Indicud , my [...]
Big artists make big albums with big expectations. The hype surrounding last week's release of Kid Cudi 's Indicud was virtually insurmountable. Watch our review below to find out if we thought the album lived up to the hype or failed to impress. Related: Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience [IRL Review]
Last week, we amused ourselves with a thought experiment that was doing the rounds on Tumblr — marking 4/11 by picking out the best songs in our iTunes library that were precisely four minutes and 11 seconds long. It turned out that there were heaps, and the idea got us thinking: when better to do something similar than 4/20? So we thought we'd limit ourselves to making our annual stoner mixtape for today out of songs that are precisely four minutes and 20 seconds long. (Disclaimer: these songs are all 4:20 on our iTunes [...]
Since us humans don't seem to be appreciating the life we have here on Earth, maybe it's time to start looking elsewhere. This week, scientists announced they have found three new planets that could support life. These planets are hundreds of light years away and it may take us hundreds of years just to develop travel to get us there. But that said, it's an encouraging and invigorating
Back with his first solo effort in over two years, Kid Cudi gets back to his famously atmospheric style of rap. Indicud is an album that is sure to please the Kid Cudi fanbase. The kid named Cudi has never been one for conformity. Since stepping into the mainstream music spotlight just a few years ago, Kid Cudi hasn't been afraid to push the envelope and experiment with his music, fusing elements of electronic, pop, and punk rock into a sound that ultimately falls under the rap/hip-hop label. This bold approach to making music has created two [...]
While the numbers aren't official yet, Kid Cudi is projected to sell around 140,000-155,000 copies of his recently released Indicud. Despite an early leak and a changed release date, this might put the Kid at the top of the Billboard by the time numbers are released. Quite the feat considering how lackluster the album actually is . Which goes to show you how well the music industry is picking up, and how far having such a loyal set of fans can go.
Kid Cudi's discography is filled with quality songs. Everyone of his albums is a slice of life that shows his progression. That is exactly what Kid Cudi brings to every song he is featured on. Wheather he is solely featured on a hook or spitting a verse he is a great artist to have on your album. Cudi is an artist that does not fit into one specific genre. He can kill it on an electronic beat or a gritty hip-hop song. Here is the breakdown of the 15 best Kid Cudi features. David Guetta Feat. [...]
When Kid Cudi first popped onto the rap scene in 2008 I was instantly drawn into the hard hitting psychedelic inspired instrumentation and his brutally honest rap lyrics. After releasing two solid, thought provoking solo rap albums Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) and Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (2010), Cudi then released the joint rock album, WZRD (2012), with long time collaborator Dot Da Genius. Although WZRD was a solid alternative rock album, people unfortunately, could not wrap their heads around the experiment and yearned for the return of the [...]
Kid Cudi released his third solo studio album today, four years after his debut release, Man on the Moon: The End of Day. His latest LP was originally slated for release on April 23, but due to an unfortunate album leak he was forced to push the release date up a week. Previously-posted highlights include "Just What I Am" featuring King Chip, and "Solo Dolo Pt. II" featuring the great Kendrick Lamar. Listen to "Cold Blooded" along with our other favorites below.

There has been a lot of new music out there lately and its difficult to pick just one to continually listen to. Instead, I'll give you a list of some of the songs and albums I've been listening to recently. Instead of watching news coverage of an event that will just enrage and sadden you, sit back and listen to some new music. Surfer Blood - "Demon Dance" I've always been a fan of this band since their debut album, Astrocoast , but [...]

Kid Cudi - Indicud Republic: 2013 Kid Cudi's artistic vision, or boredom perhaps, has led him to experiment with a wide array of sounds. From his early boom-bap-heavy mixtape days to his darkened Man on the Moon series, all the way to his stint with rock music as WZRD, Cudi's music is held by no boundaries. But as he attempts yet another style on his latest effort Indicud , we can't help but wonder if settling down with just one style would do him better [...]
