Kid Cudi and his spacey trip

Kanye West has become a status that results in virtually any musical project he is eagerly awaited. This is precisely the case with his protégé Kid Cudi. The 25-year-old rapper from Cleveland was known mainly by the remix of "Day N Nite", which hardly a likely to be unknown by his great presence. But in order to survive in the longer term can Game It takes more than that, you have to have something special and that has Cudi. He does not rely on exaggerated image, which would also be more credible in his frail figure, Cudi is like it is: the boy next door who told us with his songs about the joys and sorrows of his daily life. His debut "Man On The Moon: The End Of The Day" is anything but an ordinary hip-hop album. It starts with the fact that Cudi sings more than raps, moreover, is being held at a very emotional tone.

The first view falls by buying a CD always on artwork and this has already in itself. One can see the dark and the depths of space, depressing and fascinating, even to the plate is structured like a film, what the view of the back cover reveals, but is also supported by the attached poster, rather Filmplakat confirmed. Just like this first impression starts also the Musical. The first of 5 files in the album is divided, begins with "In My Dreams". This song makes its name all the same honor. Through a beautiful bed of strings the whole actually has a dreamy, Cudi's voice is well-timed to the track also comes immediately in accordance with the impressions left by the artwork. With a true masterpiece, namely "Soundtrack 2 My Life" we continue immediately. Cudi award gives us his personality, this is accompanied by a sea of ​​spacey but also very soulful tunes that merge immediately into the joints and marrow, and ensure correct goosebumps. After the brisk feel-good song "Simple As ..." concludes the storyteller Common the first act and forward the next one.

This starts with a so-called "Nightmare" pieces, namely "Solo Dolo". It affects the name accordingly very depressing, has a simple but also eerie sound, to Cudi reported that alone being, one has actually somewhere to graze in this sound feel lonely through space. A little further in the middle can be found with the hit single "Day N Nite" another nightmare by Kid Cudi. Very electric, very minimalist, dark, while, at the same time it is also something fascinating, but also glad that you do not have to experience for yourself Cudi's stories, but can listen eagerly. The associated Crookers Remix can be found as a bonus at the end, this is, however, made more suitable for the dancefloors. Fantastic are these impressions with "Sky Might Fall", which relies on a lot of emotion again, but a rhythmic drum is represented, which provides some power and the many synthesizers support effects. The highlight is however even more Kid Cudi, one really touched by his voice and put into a pleasant feeling. For further atmosphere which ensures again very futuristic "Enter Galactic" on sweeping manner the now now 4. Act heralds.

"Alive" (feat. Ratatat), another nightmare, digs a almost forgotten music style from back, the space rock. Freaky, funky and of course rocking - so the impression of the song that is not as uncomfortable as his predecessor acts, yet converts the topic again very skillfully. "Cudi Zone" is something personal, again very exciting, therefore a highlight. After you have thick cutbacks but for the first time. What please Kanye West has thought in "Make Her Say"? Creativity fine and dandy, but Lady Gaga samples to use violates any kind of good taste, generally the beat is unexciting, rather unspectacular, to make matters worse, going for this number failed even the feature of Common with it. Since it quickly became the last "Nightmare" weitergeskippt piece. "Pursuit Of Happiness" has little to do with conventional hip hop. Cudi and MGMT and Ratatat guest rapping as good as not even the instrumental is more of a mix of piano and electronica, yet everything produced so loving, wonderful in the sound and pure emotion - a dream! Act number 5 now sealed the end of this journey. "Hyyerr" Chip Tha Ripper along with newcomers is more to rap, quiet atmosphere, very pensive the whole and a last haven which has been replaced by the rhythmic pop number "Up Up & Away".

Kid Cudi's debut is a real hit. Not only because so many songs also because he considers himself totally dissociates scene with his style from the current Hip Hop Europe and so a few surprises for the listener a personal touch, but. It is at such a plate quickly tended full marks to give, but you have to look at the big picture and in between can be found but every now and then a number that is nice to hear that but the Hitcharakter missing to the album all the way up to heave to the throne. What Kanye West has "Use & Heartbreak 808" started in 2008 with, was here to improve and develop to a large piece - Hip Hop breaks new ground, which is of Kid Cudi exciting and highly recommended for anyone who wants to break out a little from the usual.
