The Story of Kid Cudi's Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

[@yoshi2413]

The Man on the Moon series gotta be one of musics most underrated trilogies. I’ve shown my friends Cudis music of course, many think he is just the Day N Nite guy but they don’t realize he makes amazing music 😂

[@KingBenny]

The kid cudi hats is beyond corny ngl

[@Jose-cb4tw]

This album never fails to make me cry because I found out about cudi through the collabs with kanye and I was going through so much at the time and it helps me reflect and realize how far I've come

[@KingBenny]

kid cudi has a lot of powerful songs ngl

[@flyking6622]

ACT 1: The End of Day In My Dreams: • CuDi falling asleep (It's the end of day) • Setting up the "Dream" metaphor for the album Soundtrack to My Life: • CuDi's backstory • Death of his father • Struggling mother Simple As...: • CuDi's childhood years (ABC/123) • Start of CuDi feeling he's different from others ACT 2: Rise of the Night Terrors Mr. Solo Dolo: • CuDi's a loner and outcast Heart of a Lion (KiD CuDi Theme): • CuDi's internal battles in the dream or "nightmare" My World: • CuDi's transition from childhood to adulthood • CuDi moves from Cleveland to Brooklyn ACT 3: Takin' a Trip This Act is basically CuDi's experiment with drugs to cope through his loneliness and depression. This part of the album is "Trippy"... hence Takin' a Trip Day N Nite: • "The Loner Stoner" Sky Might Fall: • "Sky might be falling, but remember you could fly (HIGH)" Enter Galactic: • CuDi's experiment with Psychedelic Mustrooms ACT 4: Stuck This act is like the party portion: Sex, Drugs an Alcohol Alive: • CuDi on the prowl for sex but wants a pure woman to cure him being a sexual maniac • Drugs and alcohol turns CuDi into a beast Cudder Zone: • CuDi is in his zone and stoned Make Her Say: • CuDi himself says this song is the fantasy part of the dream, so this songs fits into the drug, alcohol and "sex" theme of this act. Pursuit of Happiness: • CuDi tries to find happiness through alcohol which is why this is a "Nightmare" ACT 4: A New Beginning Hyyer: • This marks the morning and end of the dream • CuDi's wake and bake Up, Up, and Away: • CuDi is fully awake from his dream accepting himself with a middle finger to the Judgemental Cunts

I feel like common pushed the original over the sequel for me his way of talking was just perfect and I remembered it all also great video

[@KingBenny]

Thats what I thought at first... my 1st listen i was disappointed that motm 2 didn't have narration but I like motm 2 now better

[@OG_Smoker82]

@@KingBenny right that really got me sad but either way MOTM 2 is still one of the best

The moon is pretty much my place of peace, whether it’s a room or my mind. It’s really your own personal space. It could be interpreted any different way. I didn’t wanna have it so literal. I want kids to interpret it and find their own moon in their world. - Kid Cudi (via HipHopDX)

[@Cruz_Angel_]

Words can’t describe how much this album means to me. This album single handedly picked me up out of the depression I was in and saved me. I always thank god for allowing me to have been able to listen to this album because of it was for Scott idk where I would be

[@lilofrfr]

[@jazzy0251]

This video deserves more hype thank you for making this😌

[@KingBenny]

THANK YOU!!!

[@superultragiggachigga]

Such a good video! You did a really good job. I first heard the album when it came out but I only got a chance to listen to the radio songs like Make her say, Day n Nite, and pursuit of happiness while over friends houses back then. Listened to the full thing tonight and it’s amazing. Can’t believe I waited this long to hear it out. Glad I got recommended your vid right after.

[@KingBenny]

This is awesome to hear, I made this for someone like you and honestly I do encourage listening to some of the tracks on MOTM 2 if you enjoyed this and some of MOTM 3 as well... don't know if you'll enjoy the whole thing depending on which are your favs tho

[@superultragiggachigga]

@@KingBenny Really appreciate it! I'm for sure going to give the other albums a listen as well. really feel like I've been sleep on Cudi.

[@KingBenny]

@@superultragiggachigga aye bro better late than never, let me know what you think of the other albums when you get around to them?

[@superultragiggachigga]

@@KingBenny just finished MOTM 2. I really enjoyed this album. there are a handful of bangers on here as well. I really like how it's more upbeat yet still dark and eerie. I kind feel like this feels darker in the matter that he seems more emotional and depressed on this one. like we kind of see him spiral into his own head, often using substance as a means of coping or getting from day to day. this feels very familiar to parts of the last album. he really is meshing and bending different genres on this which is cool. super solid album. I still like MOTM 1 the best.

[@KingBenny]

@@superultragiggachigga MOTM 2 is definitely an album that grows over time... especially the latter half... for me MOTM 1 was better than MOTM 2 for some time but as time goes on the gap between the two slims down to the point that you could go either way

[@lilmonke2190]

I love every song on the first 2 man on the moons, but I’ve never been able to piece it together so thx for the explanation

[@KingBenny]

I mean its up to interpretation... what i say isnt definitive but i appreciate the words. thanks for giving it a chance

[@tinyfuser9879]

I know I’m mad late but this is something I’ve wanted for a fat min lol and really enjoyed the vid I’ll be checking out the motm2 vid in a bit and subscribed

[@loganfendi]

very in-depth, great video!!!

[@KingBenny]

glad you could watch

[@nicolasnidero382]

Personally i think that "take a trip" actually also means to assume drugs in order to escape the nightmares, as STUCK comes in with alive (stuck alive) "everytime the moon shines i become alive" could be you know the addiction. I just thought that watchin the video, great video man

[@KingBenny]

I didnt think about that but I think it goes hand in hand with him escaping reality but yeah you're right btw thanks I appreciate it, i have one for MOTM 2 which is a bit better edited than this one and the MOTM 3 one should drop this week or next week

[@luvrager]

This is dope dude keep it up

[@ikercanchola]
