[@TckleBxx]

I loved Speedin Bullet. It feels like a manic episode the whole time. Weird voices lurking around your brain that don’t sound like you anymore, but are in fact you. You try to escape the demonic noises of them but end up trapped. And there are some, what feel like good moments between the dark. And maybe the good moments are just acceptance of your lived reality. Trauma gives that sensual feel but yells discomfort. CONFUSED! Is one of my favorites, the excited clashing of instruments, yet the dark lyrics of, “I might go losing it and drive off a cliff.” Very well put together. There was still some nuance too. Adventures to me was old Cudi, but also a foreshadowing into Passion Pain and DS.

[@KellyAesop]

Ice didn't fail because he switched genres. People had already treated Ice as a joke and he tried to self remove by the time the dust settled on Mind Blowin', so really, releasing a rock album was more of a having nothing to lose kind of thing. It wasn't about charting. It was about doing something in life so that people didn't automatically laugh at and hit him with things for being a phony. Remember, he was accused of switching genres already, from hip-hop to pop. THAT is what effected him so much. Ice has talked about just how important some of the songs on Hard to Swallow, "Scars" in particular, were to his own healing process.

[@cherrytonshawty9120]

When I hear any of peeps musical groups like GBC/Scheemaposse or any of peeps library at all for that matter, the last thing that I would compare it to is MGKs shitty wannabe emo/pop/punk. To me it’s more like he’s tryna be a really bad version of KennyHooplah/Avril Lavigne/Yung Blud/POORSTACEY. But I totally see your point and I agree that the shift was super lame.

@@Nitro_Foundry U need A genuine underground following to be like Peep so he went the Mainstream, early 2000’s emo route.

Just a minor correction: Vanilla Ice's "To The Extreme" was not Vanilla Ice's debut album, he had one in 1989 before it called "Hooked" which barely sold and was not on a major label (he re-recorded and reworked most of the songs for "To The Extreme"). Great video by the way, huge fan of your work. I also think the critics were too hard on "Speeding Bullet to Heaven" as I really enjoyed it!

Lil Wayne Rebirth is one of his greatest albums of all time.

[@PRIM3TACTiCZ1]

MGK went hard in both genres. I like both but I fuck heavy with his newer music but I do miss his rapping

[@ChristianPierce]

people dont say mgk failed because he switched genres they say he switched genres because he failed at rapping

Kid cudi album is one that will be one that ages like whiskey. I argue that SBTH is better than Entergalactic. 90% of cudi lyrics are dark even when theyre meant to be happy lol. His persona is literally MOTM. Dark side of the moon come on. He expresses the ingenuity in the world and how his pure intentions are tested by a darker force. If youre looking for more insight of how that force behaves for him as a fan that album is a necessity.

I wonder how bad the audience retention slipped when you took off the subway surfers gameplay ☠️

Vanilla Ice also came back in the UK during the 2000's. He teamed up with the Irish pop duo Jedward do a mash up cover of Ice Ice Baby and Under Pressure.

Good idea for video

Speedin bullet to heaven is one of my favorite rock albums. The songs were real and raw. He held nothing back, and I feel like the Beavis and butthead sketches were the comic relief of the album due to all the dark vibes and lyrics. It was so different that it's off-putting but if you listen you'll find something you like about it. Also didn't help that apple music listed it as a hip-hop album without cudis consent so a bunch of people were tricked into buying it
