Kid CuDi - Perfect Is the Word
Artist: Kid CuDi
Producer: Dot Da Genius
Album: Wizard
Label: Universal Republic
When Lupe departed from hip-hop to record a post-punk LP as Japanese Cartoon, I was intrigued; when Weezy announced his intent to follow up critical and commercial blockbuster Carter III with a rock album, I was baffled; so, now that Kid CuDi‘s dropped off the first leak from his and Dot Da Genius’ ”experimental rock” project as 2 Be Continuum... yeah, I’m not terribly surprised. Though the script-flipping impact of Perfect Is the Word is diminished by the fact that CuDi never seemed to have a script to begin with, this droning banger’s familiarity shouldn’t diminish its appeal for the lonely stoner’s devotees. Here, Dot’s fuzzed-out guitar riffs, string flourishes and mechanical percussion rhythm set the stage for the Day N Nite phenom’s ominous pronouncements. In a delivery slightly less deadpan than usual, CuDi informs us of his affinity for living on the edge, declaring, “I won’t run away—cowards run away.” Time to weigh in: is Perfect, well, perfect? Or at least intriguing enough to have you looking forward to Wizard? If you’re leaning towards the affirmative, you can keep it locked you-know-where for all the latest details!

You won't appreciate it fully at first listen. But it does grow on you. See, CuDi was smart and has been doin' this rock-rage (yea thats my self named genre for this) stuff for a bit now. Gave his listeners time to adjust so now they know what to look for when they see his music. Really didn't think that i'd join on the bandwagon but it deff bumps after a few listens.
With that said, once his rock-rage project is done with Dot Da Genius I wanna here some old stlye when Wizard drops. |

Dot Da Genius shows his, well, genius on this track...and CuDi never dissapoints. I'm looking forward to hearing their upcoming project. I have a feeling it will open up a lot of people's ears..

It doesn't sound as experimental as I had hoped. Just sunds like one of those questionable Cudi album cuts. You know which ones I mean.

Not feelin this. Cudi's vocals are too messed up and distorted, and the instrumentals aren't that good.

This is KiD CuDi doing what I love, being strange & creative. Been on repeat for awhile. Hope the whole project is like this!
