Soundtrack 2 My Life

KiD CuDi - Soundtrack 2 My Life (Directed by Jason Goldwatch) from DatNewCudi / DP on Vimeo.


Kid Cudi released the video for "Soundtrack 2 My Life," from his debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, earlier this week. I don't have the cd and haven't heard it all, but people keep telling me it's kind of depressing. When I heard this song, I understood what they meant. Honestly, I have to say it's probably one of my favorite songs of his, including his mixtapes. I think there's something to be said about the honesty and raw emotion he puts into his music (and i'm not a "there's something to be said..." type of person). In my opinion, not a lot of rappers rap about their real feeling and how messed up they are. Cudi seems to lay it all out, drugs, neurosis, etc., in most of his songs. Let's face it, we're all a little messed up and have our own issues and it's refreshing to hear a rapper that puts it out there regardless of what the response will be. People have told me that I listen to weird music, I prefer the word eclectic, so that might be why I like him so much. Obviously i'm not alone.
