Kid Cudi: "Mr. Rager" prod. Kanye West
His music does not always deliver vocally or lyrically, but Kid Cudi is like the Rick Ross of emo/sing-song rap. The production was rarely disappointing on Cudi's debut, if at all. And, after hearing tracks like "Mr. Rager," the same can be said for his sophomore effort. This cut finds Cudi flaunting a mixture of monotone back-up vocals and range-less crooning, aka exactly what he did throughout the first Man on the Moon.
But just like on that record, he's doing it over a perfectly concocted beat from Kanye West. Yeezy has layered a number of instruments on "Mr. Rager," from hand claps to a climbing guitar lick to ambient noises that sound like water dripping from a leaky faucet. I get the feeling he had some help on this one, though, perhaps from the boys of Ratatat.
You can hear "Mr. Rager" over at 2DopeBoyz. Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager is due out Oct. 26.

it might be that you just don't like cudi
andrew martin is a gay name
Hazim
Ouch.
Yeah, dude, your name is so gay, whatever that means. Agreed on Cudi not being good lyrically. He never actually says anything at all.
what do u mean CuDi never actually says anything? maybe you never listen Andross . . . or maybe you dont understand, or both.
Fatman
to b honest kid cuddi says a whole lot just most of his song r about himself and he is not trying to hav everyone relate to the songs like most successful artisits do but it is not for everyone
