But then again, that could be fact I'm really fucking tired, but I wanna finish this review tonight.Ĭontinuing the streak of beat-jacking, Cudi digs back into the south and pulls out Andre 3000's "Pink & Blue", off The Love Below, from the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double album OutKast put out. It's slow and soft, but for some reason it kinda bores me. It's pretty catchy, but fails in comparison when you place it up against previous songs such as "Down & Out" or "Man on the Moon (The Anthem)".Ĭudi jacks Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" and decides to pen it about making a record. I'll listen to it once and it'll be stuck in my head for a couple days (and nights, nice pun, rite?).Ĭrookers, the Italian DJ duo that made a techno remix for "Day 'n' Nite", come by to provide Cudi the beat for a pretty good song.Ĭudi steals the beat for southern group Grind Mode's "I'm So High" and pens a song to his favorite strand of weed, Maui Wowie, which apparently is in Hawaii. Near the end of the track, you can detect the "Day N Nite" beat, allowing the mixtape to seemlessly transition into Cudi's biggest song to date.Īlso known as my ringtone. That's kinda ballsy on your debut mixtape. I like how Cudi takes a shot at Flo-Rida and his song "Low" ("If I slip away, if I die today, the last thing you remember won't be about some Apple Bottom jeans with the boots with the fur"). I've been playing this like crazy on my iPod lately.īased around the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Prayer" (that would be the prayer mentioned in the title). Solo Dolo", both of which are fucking amazing. I really like when Cudi does songs like this and "Mr. As such, Kid Cudi sounds pretty fucking good over a Dilla beat. I'd also say that Wale (pronounced Wah-lay and not Whale) actually shows up his host, delivering the best verse.Ĭudi hops on the beat for J Dilla's "Wild" off of the Ruff Draft EP. The song is a bit slow, compared to the "Chonkyfire" beat jacking beforehand. The second listen was a quick "WHAT THE FUCK?!" moment, followed by marking out as this example of beat-jacking is amazing.įellow hip-hop up-and-comer Wale drops by (he has an album coming out soon, and a mixtape set to be reviewed sometime). The first time I listened to the mixtape, I must've not been paying attention as I completely missed the fact he was on the "Chonkyfire" beat. To begin, Cudi swipes the beat for "Chonkyfire" from OutKast's Aquemini to great results.
KID CUDI MIXTAPES ZIP MOVIE
With Cudi's album dropping soon, I felt it was a good idea to take another listen to this mixtape in anticipation, and to do a review on it.Ī simple hip-hop intro set in a movie theater with people talking as the movie begins. I thouroughly enjoyed it and have listened to it several times since. I take a second listen to A Kid Named Cudi. I pretty much only played the catchy-as-fuck "Day 'n' Nite" and tucked the mixtape away for another day.įast forward to April when a friend asks me for Cudi recomendations. I listened to it that night, wasn't so sure. I got into it late in the game, downloading it November 15th (according to my iTunes). It has had remixes featuring artists such as Jim Jones, Styles P, K'naan, Collie Buddz, and others.Īfter "Day 'n' Nite" was released, anticipation built up for his debut mixtape, which dropped July 17th, 2008. His most known song was his debut single "Day 'n' Nite", which dropped February 2008 and became a hit over the internet.
