Cudi is such an authentic and real guy. Love listening to him speak. His star is rising!!!

A huge weirdo who wears dresses and holds hands with men.

[@chloebergeron5430]

@@four4four636 the only reason you would think a man is a weirdo for breaking down gender-base stereotypes is because you have been traumatized on the basis of your own sexuality and gender. Your comments are blatant displaying your own trauma. Not to mention you clearly came here just to be call him a weird for very specific reasons which is telling in and of itself.

He's SO GOOD in X. . . . and you see a LOT of him

[@mxa9063]

I've never heard Cudi speak in an interview. He seems so happy. I want to see the movie.

[@mandyinseattle]

I have to see this movie. My son played one of his songs the other day in the car and I said, "Who is that?? I love it."

[@ericfelds6291]

Do it, it’s the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time which is high praise because horror’s better than its ever been right now

[@barry4649]

Cudi is ridiculously underrated at both music and acting, but especially music because he isn’t in much films. Cudi has been a driving factor in the success of artists like Kanye West, and Travis Scott ( with the Scott in his name being in homage to Kid Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi) and made albums with not one bad song like Kids See Ghosts and Man On The Moon: End of Day. He is starting to finally get his flowers now though

[@kotkaconforza]

I think the best thing about seeing the scary movies as a kid, is when you do it "in secret". Like at a sleep over or something. And it the experience it self feels dangerous. It elevated the impact at least for me as a kid, when it was like that. I could watch Twin Peaks or Aliens with my parents, and the scary parts didn't affect so much because you can feel the vibes from adults and know you are safe.

[@insulaarachnid]

Yeah I remember watching a Freddy Krueger film when I was about 13 during a sleepover.

[@masterofallgoons]

I think sleepovers were instrunebtal for a lot of us as horror fans. Slashers were always fun, but my mom got a lot of really angry phone calls the day after I showed my friends Silence of the Lambs when I was like 10 years old. The cannibalism, wearing someone's else's face, the skin suit etc., were too much for some of my friends.

[@eddystuart6990]

Yes as kids with the horror movies we always wanted a sheet or blanket to cover you when it got bad!!! Loved the late 80s and 90s!!!

[@whoopshey826]

Thank you Kid Cudi. Keeping the stoners minds free at night. At, at, at night.

His love of horror is reflected in his art and I love it. Cudi is my favorite.

[@ericfelds6291]

Cudi did an amazing job in the role, I had no idea it was him until the credits hit, he just completely became that character. Hope he gets more roles and critical attention in the future.

Haven't yet listened, but from the title...My dad and I shared that, too❣️ In fact, he _started_ my love of horror movies. He used to force me to keep my hands down in haunted houses, too. Now, it's something we equally love. 2 ♏ peas.🥰

Kick push changed my life. Great to see the legend naturally. When kick push came out me and my bestie were the only black guys or guys in my hood that rode boards, the following summer all the black dudes were pn boards. Changed the culture.
