i dont know how to explain it and im sure you guys know what im saying.. but no matter how big drake gets or how much of a better rapper ppl like em or kendrick are. cudi will always be the only guy that is able to do what he does and so be the absolute best at it. unique in a very special, very positive way.

[@ginsuma1402]

Gavin Ward sure....Cudi is garbage it sounds like he forces rhymes and I hate that shit he does when he stretches words or drags them out. He sounds like someone with downs syndrome. He's trying to redefine rap cause he doesn't like rap in the first place. Actually a lot of artists don't like rap. It's hard to be a fan when you're in the game yourself.

[@michaelquintero5987]

Cudi will forever be my favorite artist. Everything he says and does, I'm right there with him 110%. Great music. Great attitude, and his mind is freaking beautiful.

[@bizzatch926]

agreed man. I dont even really listen to hip hop or anything like it. i mostly listen to hardcore stuff but there has always been something about cudis music that i connected with so hard. the sounds he creates and every little thing about them is so beautiful and it makes me feel very weird when i listen to him. i cant say that about any other artist. his mind really is beautiful.

[@michaelquintero5987]

mark Same here man. I don't listen to hip-hop much or rap, but i think kid cudi has his own genre of music that can't really be described or classified still. He is just that dope that he created his own type of music and i have mad respect for him. And his recent talks where he talks about how rappers need to approach music more like an art form was on point again. Cudi = A super-cool over-all multitalented dude with words of gold.

[@fredflamingo4610]

[@jonjohnson7524]

hes 100% right

[@aalleenn100]

Kid cudi is right, all the madness does make him look good. His music actually helps people instead of making them arrogant. I'm mostly a fan because he isn't cocky. Kanye may have helped you get there, but please cudi do not get cocky like him.

[@alyssawatts7768]

Kanye isn't cocky goofy. Man speaks into existence or even know he talks and says things he wont regret saying he is miles ahead of rappers or just ppl like Kid Cudi they were both two different but brothers to help eachother

He looks like a handler. He texts someone right after the first question is asked and then stares at Cudi in a strange way. I know other comments state he is a friend and manager. However, we have learned a lot about the music industry since this video was made....

[@iloveamerica007]

Why I like Cudi

[@betteroffshook]

I can't get over how genuine Kid Cudi is. Seriously bro, if you ever see this man, I want you to know that you are a fucking legend who makes some perfect tunes. I've loved Band of Horses for years and years still counting and the fact that you realise how awesome they are earns respect! Keep it up bro! Peace! p.s cudderisback and the prayer is best friends with my weed! ;)

[@MrRandomVideosguy]

I LOVE KID CUDI HIS MUSIC IS DOPE REALLY CHANGED MY LIFE AROUND THANKS KID CUDI

[@FC-oh3ho]

[@alexandremedy853]

Fucking true, I've been saying the same shit at everyone man! Scott Mescudi is a real rapper, hope I meet him one day and make some good and real bumping ass music that comes from the heart.

Kid cudi dropped one of the dopest albums last year and got no recognition smh, the games all fucked up. Follow me on twitter though @modernhippiekid

[@rockinman1996]

i love his views on everything

[@fabo36]

Cudi did become slightly arrogant after he made Man of the moon but that's expected by most successful hip-hop artists BUT he always had a very humble perspective of what his music is and hasn't shoved any type of superiority in anyone's face. I do miss him being in the limelight because that means his music was doing better but I'm also happy if he's happier about where he is in life...because I know he hated too much fame...and he truly is one of the most influential artists period in the last 10 years. Nobody has made music like Kid Cudi and he truly is the coolest cat I've seen in a while...and he was right about that creative spark because rappers like Wale, Kendrick, and Cole are the best artists right now and their hella creative

[@aduhig11]

Quoting the Joker in the Dark Knight 'It's not about the money, its about sending a message.' The man is a breath of fresh air in a music culture that has forgotten its purpose.

[@21sparrow7]

He was right about that new creativity. Now we got gambino and chance... BoB been going off. Asher went thru his thing. Drake stays deep, indulges in more heartfelt stuff than most others. I'm happy I'm a fan of one of the bigs that started the new era. Yearning to hear some more of this kind of cudi soon.

[@freshprinceblair]

i consider him as a top 5 for his creativity and how his lyrics flow perfectly with the beat. his whole first album was pretty much him with only features to MGMT, Common, and Ye. + Ratatat on some producing. it's hard to find hip-hop records now days without multiple features on the album.

[@XTen1000DaysX]

You know.. Kid Cudi is so inspirational, I relate to his music so profoundly, his lyrics are so inspirational and not like the sterotypical hip-hop artist, and I admire and respect him for doing so. He doesn't try to fit in like every other hip-hop artist these days, he's original and himself, truly a inspirational to me. His music relates to my emotions and thoughts so vividly that im happy I have something to listen to that I can relate so deeply too.

[@nickrag1608]

13 years later and his last point was so correct. he changed the narrative in hip hop. there’s a whole influential side that raps like he does. without him, there is no juice wrld, no X, no travis scott, etc. he brought vulnerability and love into the forefront of hip hop. he changed lives with his music. it always has been about something more than the surface level materialism too many artists fall victim to.

[@ahmedhamm5464]

crazy just how right he was on that point

[@Andu_music]

Wow I agree with him now more than ever. In my videos and pictures I dress normal. People love the music, sub, view but the more I look at other artists I realize how they dress is a big part. Dyed hair, hella chains, face tats. The fact that you have to have these things as an artist sucks. We're the only genre like that. Indie rock, indie pop, alternative, they all dress standard denim jacket, plain bomber, jeans, regular t shirt. Sucks cause thats how i feel the most comfortable

[@king6595]

goat

[@KidCudiBabez12]

I agree with him so much. Alot of people don't think he's top 5 but in my opinion he is. He raps actually about things people relate to unlike MOST new rappers who rap about what they have what they can get an how much they can get of it. Kid Cudi is just amazing in my mind. Just Sayin...(:
