A Kid Named Cudi

Congratulations Kid Cudi, you made me a believer in mixtapes again. For a while I was convinced they were all shit; put together in a few minutes, then repeated so you could be called “The Mixtape King” (thanks Lil Wayne). But Kid Cudi took a different approach to the mixtape and it payed off for him. I consider A Kid Named Cudi to be an album, besides the fact that it doesn’t cost any money. It had the time and effort that would be put into an album, rather than a mixtape. The thing that blows my mind when I listen to it is the fact that he talks about getting high a lot, but he still sounds very intelligent. He keeps the listener entertained even though the vast majority of the tracks say something about weed, or how he isn’t from this planet. The first track is awesome because it features the Dreamworks introduction, and is just sort of funny. But my favorite track has to be “The Prayer.” It samples a Band of Horses song and is absolutely fantastic. I can already see this song being one of my favorites of 2008. I’m not going to include any individual tracks in this post, because you can get them all for free below. I highly recommend this mixtape, it’s fantastic.
