Oh and the only Auto Tune shyt i liked forgive me for saying this but, 808s and heartbreaks is a great album when you are feeling emo.
it's all about sonata arctica.
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but you hit the nail on the hammer, Kid Cudi did have one video with girls in it but it was just a joke video of what it's like to work at a store while your high and you start seeing shit lol. I thought it was hilarious.Originally Posted by Gunshow
I always wondered why lots of people act like Puffy was the only person to do lots of sampling? I got reasons for people not to like him, but 2pac, Mariah Carey, Dr. Dre, Will Smith, & Coolio to name a few had lots of songs that were sampled. Almost as much or barely more sampled than Puffy. Maybe peoples were jealous cause he did it the best in the 90's.
Shoot, I made a cd that 2pac's songs plus the song's he sampled or a couple of songs of artists who sampled 2pac. I know I can do that with Mariah.
I really like Kid Cudi, but I'm not so sure Id call what he does rap or hip hop.
Why wouldn't you?
Well, you could consider some of Kid Cudi's work to be hip-hop, but most of his work is like a mix of 2 genres, like electro-hop or alternative hip-hop. It's not straightfoward hip-hop in a way.
I dunno man, it's hard to describe qualities of music. I cant think of much to say other than what he does rarely sounds like what I know as rap or hip hop.
I always think that when you start talking about specifics about stuff like this, what I describe something as will be very different from how you read it. That said, in a way, I think that what Kid Cudi does is more like a very alternative type of folk music in the sense that you can chill out listening to it, and he is really good at telling some kind of story or idea with his music. I guess its just the way I've come too appreciate his stuff.
By the way, I dont even like the guy's music, but this twitter is hilarious!
