Kid Cudi-Man on the Moon 2
Track by Track Review
Scott Mescudi vs. The World: A great album opener. Cee-lo provides a great chorus. I love this intro because it gives you a feel for the whole album. Kid Cudi raps boastfully, “whattup how’s everyone doing, you are now in the world I’m ruling.”
9/10
REVOFEV: I still don’t know what this song’s title means, but this is one addictive track. Cudi takes on the big brother role for the kids. Cudi does his “WHOAwhoaaa” on the chorus. “Let’s go I heard they found a solution, where will you be for the revolution”.
9.5/10
Don’t Play This Song: Here’s another hot song. Mary J. Blige assists him on the hook. “Pain, hurt, sadness, and loneliness”….its a sympathetic yet sad type of song. KC looks like he’s perfected his sound.
9/10
We Aite(Wake Your Mind Up): An interlude of sorts. It’s ok. It sounds like there’s a crowd behind him.
7/10
Marijuana: Cudi raps about that Mary Jane. The song is slower, but KC’s lyrics are on point. The chrorus and beat are tight too. The subject matter seems a little lame though.
8/10
Mojo So Dope: KC has a lot attitude on this dope track. Kid Cudi raps about how he didn’t fall to the dope game. The song has kind of slow kinda intense feel to do it.
9/10
Ashin Kusher: I really like his flow on this song. “I really don’t worry about a ni*** tryin to judge, who are you? JUDY?” The beat is hot and KC continues to craft his rhythmic sound.
9.5/10
Erase Me: The lead single. The beat is fueled by guitars and KC is joined by Kanye West who raps a tight verse. This song is ultimately about a lost love and KC rubbing it in a girl’s face.
10/10
Wild’n Cuz I’m Young: A very rough kind of song. It’s not really melodic at all. Cudi’s rhymes are pretty nice across a creepy, mellow beat.
8.5/10
The Mood: This song has eerie laughter in it. What it is a description of KC getting his mack on. It’ turned into a creepy track. KC’ flow stands out on this track.
9.5/10
MANIAC: The chorus is hot “Paint the walls blacker”. Kid Cudi and the guest rapper do a nice job setting the stage for this really dark track. “I like the dark, maybe we can make it darker, give me a marker” KC raps. “I am the maniac I am the fool, I found a monster when I lost my cool”.
10/10
Mr. Rager: A happier sounding song. Mr. Rager is off on an adventure. The chorus and beat are really cool here.
8.5/10
These Worries: A sorrowful song. KC is joined again by Mary J. Blige. The song has a really cool beat.
8.5/10
The End: KC is joined by another rapper. This song is about death. This is a pretty tight song. “I’ll never do it again…I’ll never do it again, cause this is the end.”
8/10
All Along: A kinda cheerful song. He’s saying he dreams reality, and all along he was meant to be alone. The song is somewhat boring….but not bad
7/10
GHOST!: This song is really fascinating. It has a great beat, and KC’s sound is refined with the sharp beat, and his singing fits the song. KC raps about things in life coming around and troubling him.
8.5/10
Trapped in My Mind: The song has a very complex beat. It’s a good song, but I feel GHOST! Would have been a better album closer.
8/10
This is a really good album. I'll give Mr. Cudi 9/10
