Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of The Day DISSCUSION THREAD

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

I had pretty much given up on hip-hop.  I mean, since Eminem came with the 8 Mile soundtrack and 50 blowing up and at that time hip-hop was still exciting.

I liked the Jedi Mind Tricks Servants In Heaven album... but I don't know that their sound was that much different from something D-12 would of done on Devils Night, it was kind of that shock value, hardcore hip-hop lyricism that had been done before, just with a different flavor.

I think this is the first time since Eminem, that an artist has came with a sound this fresh.  Hope I'm not over-exaggerating, and over hyping this thing.  Don't want to jinx it.

Nevermind... I had downloaded a few cuts while waiting for the leak.  I downloaded "Changing Lanes" "Sky Is Falling" and "Day and Night".  So I was really hyped for this, and of course it ended up being just another let down.  Just him whining for no apparent reason about bitches and drugs and being happy sometimes but sometimes sad. 

Hip-Hop Is Still Dead.

Have you heard of Talib Kweli?

Yep.. and even Talib Kweli says hip-hop is dead.. on the Train of Thought album he says "Where were you the day hip-hop died.. is it too early too mourn, is it too late to ride?"

Seems like besides "Day And Night" and "Sky Might Fall" Kid Cudi's best songs aren't on the album.

Where is "Switching Lanes", "Daps and Pounds" and some song I think it's called "Freshest" something

 

[AnybodyKilla]

This is a pretty dope ass album, i kept most of the songs, i might just cop it!!!

[Action!]

Uncommon Valor is easily one of the top ten rap songs I've heard.

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

A few good tracks, solid debut I guess..   

"Alive" is that shit, love that jam.

The leak was 320 kbps, which is as good as VBR (what groups use), just bigger filesize.

D12 is a joke compared to JMT.

If D12 was an underground group that had never gone platinum then you would not make this statement.

I don't really care about plaques or shit like that. But yeah, D12 and JMT is comparable when you think of Em's humor and Bizarre's skills....

Albums amazing Arguably album of the year imo

Im not sure if I'm that into it yet but so far the only other album that may be on its level for me is OB4CL II (although i need to give that a proper spin when bought). Two things both the albums have in common though and what makes them the best albums of the year so far are a) cohesive sound b) a continued theme. Love the way Common narrates the album even if at times it feels a bit OTT but I take it like a Tarrantino movie sometimes the OTT bits are necessary to create an atmosphere. I wasn't that huge a fan of the singles tbh but bar Make her say the album fits perfectly.

Maybe cause I havent checked Cudi (cause of the horrible Crookers remix) my expectations weren't as inflated as others but to me this is a pleasant surprise. Definately shits all over 808s...

link please

[Black Friday]

group rip is out

[Cali Climate]

This is awful. Almost all of the tracks remind me of Reh Dogg - Why Must I Cry.

Day N Nite is the only song I'm feeling on here.
