Este era um dos albums mais antecipados do ano para os "hipsters", beat-hoppers e esses pseudo-hiphop lovers que só gostam de beats. A esta altura do campeonato devem estar a caminho das discotecas a fazer manifestações e a procura de meios de cancelar a compra no itunes.
1º Kid Cudi é um WACK MC . Soulja Boy é um spitter mais legitimo que Cudi.
2º Então porquê o aparato sobre o mano e porquê o contrato com a G.O.O.D. music - Cudi tras uma personagem e uma sensibilidade artistica muito semelhante a de Kanye, e no fundo o Album Man on the Moon é o album que Kanye gostaria de ter feito com Heartbreak and 808´s facilmente o projecto mais debil e apressado do Louis Vuitton Don, o derradeiro perfeccionista que supostamente masterizou o "stronger" mais de 80 vezes.
Para além disso, Cudi é um musico, um artista que sente Hiphop mas que facilmente poderia cair na categoria de indie music, usa samples de band of horses e paul simon, coisas raras e confesso que a mixtape dele me trouxe excitação particularmente com o cover de "50 ways to leave your lover" desta feita "50 ways to make a record" tem outros gems lá, inclusive o super smash "day n´nite" que acaba por sumariar quem o kid cudi é - Boa musica, original, ecletico mas liricamente tão abstracto, flow tão quadrado e nonsensical que o interesse que qualquer um possa ter pela personagem de Cudi morre e fica à mercê dos beats e refrões cantados.
Muitos argumentam que a Mixtape de Cudi é um classico, aceito no sentido em que musicalmente nunca vi algo do género, fundiu indie music com hiphop de uma forma que jamais tinha visto, agora isso não faz de Cudi um grande cantor ou um grande rapper.
Essa nova escola de rappers da America é toda muito average, mas aqueles que tenho sentido em ocasião são: Mickey Factz, Wale, Cory Gunnz, Asher Roth, Drake e J. Cole. Em breve devo fazer uma análise mais profunda a todos.
Há tempos, para o site gobshout(Uk) foi-me pedido um "preview" daquilo que eu achava que o album do Cudi seria, e é-me penoso hoje ter estado tão certo ontem (nastradamus stuff) :
Cudi is an amateur rapper, he's like wise a bad communicator, his lyrics are spacey and incomprehensible most of the time. On the other hand he was borderline genius choosing the landscape sounds of his classic mixtape, has a cool mass appeal relaxed singing voice, like dwele without soul or minimalism which is great for transcending race barriers. he brings a character to table, like eminem brought you slim shady in 97, like busta with a cartoon character in end of tribes peak and break up of leaders of the new school and with the gimmick they created a particular sound came with it and god knows hiphop needs it, origininality and arstistry of this sort is the only way for hiphop, there is no way it'll make it if everybody just raps the same topics and doesnt dream conceptual albums anymore . its funny rappers didnt take the Cudi route more, considering that "ready to die" was arguably the best rap album of the 90s decade and so many in that format successfully followed.
I've been hearing cudi rap with others, consequence, radio shows etc...He doesn´t do it often, smartly so, as he looks extremely vulnerable doing it, resulting in not exposing himself too much in the typical rap collaborative fashion, because he knows, at the end of the day that he's not an MC. He's a different type of player in the game, maybe the embodyment, the shinest beacon of the avant-guard phenomenom in the american hiphop arena: "hipster rappers". Where medaphors, lyrical prowess is substituted by sing-song swagger flows, sinthesizers and quirky beats. In this arena "a kid named Cudi" the rappers debut mixtape is seminal and unmatched by any other rapper who treads into this simbiosis - hipster(fucking with pop dance cool trends of music) and mixing it with | hiphop. A cousin of cudi is Wale, one of the first to experiment with alien styles of music that don't usually cling in hiphop's cypher. He himself when questioned by Joe Budden on camera didn't shy out in confessing that his family member couldn't spit. Regardless, Kid's singing ability, pop appeal, sonic sensibility is bigger than wale's will ever be.
A word of advice for listeners>
If you're looking for a revolutionary rap album you won't find it lyrics or mcing, one can only pray that it will be a dope music album with infectious hooks and enslaving with its beats and layer cake synths. The line up looks fantastic - Kanye, Mgmt, Dot the genius and the usual collaborators Ratatat (the indie rockers hiphop dream and the hiphoppers indie dream come true) pat and emile as well as the rap typical format conserved through common's narration.
I honestly think that this is just going to be a cute album, i don't think cudi's got it in him to ignite hiphop essentially because of his delivery handicaps, I hope profoundly that i'm wrong. I think that the mvp out of good music's camp this year will be Mr. Hudson with straight no chaser dropping oct. 6.
Future Previews|Reviews, the albums hiphop's been waiting for this year:
raekwon - ob4cl2 . Drake - so far gone . Reflection Eternal 2 - talib kweli and Hi-tek . Jay-z - the blueprint 3 . Wale - attention deficit . Joell Ortiz's unnamed december project. Crooked I - B.O.S.S. . Royce da 5'9 - Street Hop . Nas and Damien Marley's duet LP Distant Relatives . Buckshot and Krs-one duet lp . Rakim's comeback album . saigon - warning shots 2 . lupe fiasco - lasers . Eminem - relapse 2 . Ghost and dooms duet Lp . and ofcourse...Dr. Dre - detox is sheduled for release this year as well.
Nem giro foi, os beats e a musica são originais mas raramente excitam, a colaboração com MGMT deve ter sido o ponto alto. Daqui a 3 meses ninguem se vai lembrar deste album, senão pelo day and nite e o impacto que a track tem no dancefloor. Acho que Cudi não vai durar na arena do hiphop, tem de aceitar que é um musico e parar de querer rimar, daria um artista indiepop muito interessante. Do campo do Kanye, continuo à espera do Mr. Hudson a nova vinda do Sting.
