Kid CuDi - Thoughts
Artist: Kid CuDi
Producer: Plain Pat
Album: Parajok's G.O.O.D. Mixtape
Label: Universal Republic
What if I told you I had a brand new Kid Cudi track, featuring Kanye West, off his incredibly anticipated sophomore album? Is that something you’d be excited about?!? Yes? Well too bad, because I don’t have one. Instead, today’s Scott Mescudi offering comes off a somewhat random mixtape, but Wylin Cause I’m Young should still spark no shortage of discussion. While an eminently minimalistic beat by Plain Pat (CuDi’s manager) sets the slow pace, Cudi jumps in with two trademark half-sung, half-rapped verses which, among other things, attempt to explain his erratic recent behavior (apparently “wylin” includes getting arrested for coke possession and fighting fans), while in the middle section Mr. West, who’s not even remotely young at this point, throws in a straightforward, basic verse. It’s certainly not what we would have hoped for from the two, Erase Me was better, but it still provides an interesting glimpse into what Legend of Mr. Rager could sound like. Oh, and the somewhat random mixtape that houses Wylin? It’s the semi-official G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape, from Russian model and G.O.O.D. Music super-fan Perajok, available now.

Funny thing is... this is totally a "CuDi kinda song," but Kanye contribution was the most impressive to me.
If someone actually e-mails me back, and by someone I mean several people, we should be able to provide the production credits for you.

Well yea it's not mystery that this is no where close to "Erase Me" but like Z said Kanye does bring it.

I always get exited when I see there's a new KiD CuDi song. But it seems like more times than not I'm disappointed with it. Kanye's good though.

Definitely not what I was expecting. Not Cudi's best work(he was clearly stoned as hell and his verses barely even rhyme),but the awesome production and Kanye's hot verse make it worth a download. I've got a feeling that I'll like it more after a few more listens.

Wow, didn't see this coming but at the same time I'm actually not suriprised. This seems like something I would expect and like I also expected, Kanye stole the show. It's a good song but it's one of those I wouldn't also play that much either in my ipod.

I was definetly feeling this track. Cudi is a monster and Kanye is on a mission. Mr. Rager might outshine this one though, it's a tossup. Standard Kid Cudi banger

Im a big fan of Cudi, but this is a miss in my book. The hook is weak and Cudi sounds uninspired. Kanye shines however.

Was really expecting more when these 2 are involved. Listenable and enjoyable, just not a song I'm going to be dying to hear over and over again.
WTF is Cudi saying at the end of this song? Sounds like he tryin out some ghost shit |

The production was disappointing, the hook was boring and lazy, Cudi's vereses were not up to par. Kanye put in good work but he cant hold this horrible beat on his own.

You can see why this is a mixtape cut, even Kanye couldn’t save this song.

Really liked cudders flow on this one, hes killin me with the hook tho. If that aspect was better then this would be up there with erase me. This duo shoulda been able to come up with somethin better then a quick "wylin cuz im young" repitition for the hook. 3zzz
