Kid CuDi - Mojo So Dope
Artist: Kid CuDi
Producer: Emile
Album: Unreleased
Label: Universal Republic
At what point do we start to worry that Kid Cudi’s sophomore album won’t be nearly as good as his first? Sorry, let me back up. This weekend we were hit with a new Cudi leak, Mojo So Dope, that, while not officially confirmed, is widely assumed to be off his highly anticipated sophomore album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. I’ll be fascinated to see how the hardcore Cudi heads respond to Mojo, but personally speaking, like past efforts RevOfEv and to a lesser extent Erase Me, I feel underwhelmed. On the production side Emile drops a sample-centered, hazy beat that Cudi fills, somewhat paradoxically, with lyrics about how much better his swag is than yours, and how alienated and angry he is, all delivered in his trademark quasi-sung flow. It’s not that I think it’s a bad track, it just feels like we’ve been here before, we heard this before. Or is it just me? We’ll find out for sure if Cudi can deliver another exceptional opus, as well as if Mojo’s on the album at all, when it drops September 28.

Cudi is turning into the biggest emo-pop artist on the planet... and I don't know how much I like this version of him. Yes, I know he has always had this personality and vision musically, but sonically this just isn't as enjoyable for me.

I like the production here, it's the highlight here to me. Kid Cudi's vocals and the hook fit well also. Overall i like the song a lot. However, it does have a quality to it that seems...how do i describe it...hazier i guess. I've liked this and Erase Me, but I don't think that MOTM2 will be nearly as good as the first.

I feel like Man on the Moon snuck up on the hip-hop community as a dope, near-classic album that flowed together perfectly (for me at least.) It won't be so easy to sneak up this time, and more expectations are there.
I love the spacey, progressive hip-hop sound CuDi is always working with. But we have been there before, and I'm hoping for something just a little more inventive to add to it. Just a little upgrade in the lyrical, wordplay, or flow intensity department would work tremendously for the Kid. |

Cudi's delivery is awful for me, as if he's singing out of tune the whole time, and monotonous at that.
I'd never listen to this again for no reason! |

I really enjoy this one and have been bumping it for a week straight. Even though his releases so far have been satisfactory, I still have high expectations for MOTM2

lmao @ DJ Z. "emo-pop artist" i guess its kinda true. but im ok with that. i prefer his brand of music then that generic b*****s and hoes crap thats everywhere. lyrically cudi isnt that wow artist, but theres sumthing unique about him u cant really explain.
anyways...the sample from Choir of Young Believers - claustrophobia is definitely the highlight. cudi's vocals went along nice on here to. solid song. his second album is very interesting so far. |

I respect Kid Cudi as artist, and I'm a big fan of his music, but this just seems to depressing.

Juanito_88 nailed it for me. When Cudi first came out everyone was like "Oh damn, what's this!?!" We'd never heard anything like it, but it's been years now, and now that his style no longer has that feel of exciting newness, I frankly find myself bored by him. This isn't necessarily bad, it's just boring.

I've heard the song and it's okay not great, not terrible. Cudi in my opinion will never be known as a lyricist. But he has a rare delivery. But I agree with everyone saying this is the same boring track over and over. But yall really need to be anticipating MR. RAGER!! I'v heard the low quality live full song and I've heard the snippet. That will be his highlight track on MOTM2!! It's something completely brand new!

Cudi has to inject some more energy into his tracks. He's too good of an artist to sleep on his own work.
