Reborn was a shower mantra for almost an entire month after my heartbreak and the feeling of helplessness that came with it. Cudi and Ye both took me out of really dark time. Once. Twice. Every single time. I never felt so close a connection with music..Until I heard Kanye and Cudi's discographies.. Flawless in my eyes. Uplifting and Heartwarming. Thank you Cudi and Kanye. God bless your hearts.

[@manavchaudhary962]

Kids See Ghosts is one of the most beautiful and genre bending albums of all time, one of the best albums of the 2000's, the fears and sufferings that they endure because of their disturbed mental beings seem to be on full display, and they need to overcome these hurdles to be REBORN, they see their fears, they accept their ghosts, and move forward. What an enthralling experience.

[@dairyqing]

geor I wasn’t necessarily saying it was crazy that he was fully embracing religion into his music but more that it’s crazy how after an album primarily talking about Ye‘s trauma and mental illness that the following album shows that Kanye’s last lines on KSG were answered and on JIK he seems a lot more happy and stable in life thanks to God. The lord saved him just like he was praying in “Cudi Montage” and you know damn well that it wasn’t intended from the start, which is what makes it crazy to me.

i think the feeling of feeling free that’s translated on ghost town and throughout kids see ghosts starts on The Life Of Pablo with “Father Stretch My Hands” as Cudi sings “I just wanna feel liberated.” What do you think ?

[@Hyphaen]

idk like its just a continuation really from both of their entire discographies because they reflect their lives so much. That was before rehab for Cudi and before the hospital with Ye so it's a decent point to show parallels with but I doubt they did that intentionally.

[@Melkac]

It's like a great end to both of their character arcs. Cudi was healed from his depression, Kanye became free of his worst behaviors and began to smile and have fun again. JIK kinda ruined that but...KSG could've been the final Kanye album and it would've been a perfect end to his discography.

Kids See Ghosts (title song) was the best song on the album for me personally. It's deceptively very low-key with Cudi setting the tone perfectly, and then Kanye delivers one of his best bars that completely contrast to the song and it doesn't stay too long either.

Great video, but you didn't even talk about Cudi Montage, one of the best songs on the album with one of the most powerful messages The album is only 7 songs, it's a little weird you only brought up 6

[@Melkac]

Cudi Montage is brought up FAR too often in relation to the album, making it seem like it's the only stand out moment from it. I think Middle8 wanted to highlight how far from the truth that is. KSG is a really special album and the Kurt Cobain sample is not the most important thing about it.

[@jackkeaveny2762]

Dai seems pretty unlikely honestly

[@FTWKGaming]

@@Melkac I have no idea what you're on about. It's only the 4th most streamed song on the album. And In any discussion I've ever seen it's never mentioned as the "only stand out moment". The album is amazing front to back, every song is a standout moment. The fact of the matter is it's inarguably a key moment on the album (it's literally the closer), and Middle8 didn't include it. In my view that's pretty ridiculous.

[@Melkac]

@@FTWKGaming In every video analysis I've seen, it's brought up plenty.

Marc Guido Bolen idk I think it’s a different way of approaching mental health. Where KSG is full of hope and triumph SRS, IDLS, swimming and circles are all about living in the feelings of depression and anxiety imo

[@Melkac]

Completely different ways to tackle depression. Mac and Earl are (and were, in Mac's case) completely consumed by depression in their albums. Cudi already went through that phase, now he's healed. So is Kanye, but it wasn't made particularly obvious until JIK came out. The sad thing about Mac is that Circles showed that he WAS beginning to heal. What a pity...
