Kid Cudi

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Entergalactic Colored Vinyl - New - B0036707-01 Sealed 2022 Gatefold "Hot Pink" Vinyl Edition. 10th Studio Album From The Cleveland Rapper. "On The Ambitious Entergalactic Project, Rapper Kid Cudi Not Only Wrote And Starred In His Own Film, He Also Crafted A Worthy Soundtrack Of The Same Name. Technically His Eighth Studio Album, Entergalactic Features All Of Cudi's Familiar Calling Cards -- Melodic Humming, Sing-Rap Delivery, And Trippy Atmospherics -- Which Makes The Effort Enjoyable On Its Own. However, Stopping At Just The Album Would Be A Disservice To The Movie, A Visually Striking Romantic Comedy That Amplifies This Music With Its Charm And Endearing Warmth (With Plenty Of Background Easter Eggs For The Cudi Diehards). Paired With The Highly Stylized Animation And Outer Space Scene-Scapes That Pull Viewers In And Out Of Modern-Day Manhattan, Entergalactic Is One Of Cudi's Most Engaging Listens, Boosted By A Balanced Blend Of Hedonist Club Anthems ("Can't Believe It" With 2 Chainz, "Do What I Want"), Ethereal Instrumentals ("Entergalactic Theme"), And Lovelorn Yearnings ("Angel," "Ignite The Love"). In Addition To 2 Chainz, The Set Also Features Don Toliver ("Somewhere To Fly" And "Burrow" With Steve Aoki) And Ty Dolla $ign (Whose Animated Character Ky Bears Quite A Resemblance To The Real-Life Musician). While Viewing The Movie Isn't Required, It's Highly Recommended, If Only To Experience The Full Scope Of What Cudi Has Accomplished Here. Entergalactic Is A Late-Era Gem In His Catalog, A Multimedia Gift To Fans That Expands His Artistic Scope And Bodes Well For More Projects Outside The Confines Of Music." AMG - Neil Z. Yeung. more

	Indicud New - Vinyl - B0018338-01 Sealed 2023 3LP gatefold reissue with custom clear hype sticker on shrink. NM- jacket with ding on spine. "After an amicable split with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, Kid Cudi's third official album landed on Island proper, but it comes off as a label sampler itself, perhaps for the mythical Indicud Records (and that's the marijuana type Indica mixed with the name Cudi) or Kid Enterprises where the Cleveland rapper executive produces it all. Prime example has to be late album highlight "Beez," where Wu-Tang leader RZA brings his own Killer Bees mythos and delivers what could be his anthem ("I don't write songs, Grasshopper/I write sceneries") while Cudi handles the production and delivers the simple hook. In "Girls," it's merely a matter of framing veteran pimp Too Short in Cudi's bud smoker's vision of alt-rap, while "Solo Dolo, Pt. 2" takes the Kid's theme song and allows Kendrick Lamar to run with it, all the way to the Left Coast. Elsewhere, there's the delicious idea of surrounding AOR singer Michael Bolton with cloud rap and EDM beats for the epic "Afterwards (Bring Yo Friends)," or making indie rockers Haim sound something more like the Weeknd on stoner-R&B cut "Red Eye," and then there's the small instrumental/lark called "New York City Rage Fest," which is nothing more than middle-album tomfoolery. All those guest shots are worthy bangers, but Indicud still has some truly Solo Dolo numbers that shine, with "Immortal" turning a MGMT tune played backwards into Cudi's best anthem to date, while "Unfuckwittable" is the off-kilter, brain-melting mutant brand of pop-rap that made the Man on the Moon albums such a thrill. Cudi's said that Indicud is his 2001, in reference to the Dr. Dre album, but Dre was always considered a producer first, and this rapper's shift to producer/rapper is much more sudden and drastic. Still, it's an entertaining, vibrant, and artistically filling album, so consider it a "presents" effort and enjoy the show." All Music Guide – David Jeffries. more

	Insano New - Vinyl - B0038153-01 Sealed 2024 2LP gatefold original; Slated to be pressed on translucent Red vinyl but cannot confirm. "As is so often the case with these bloated efforts designed for the streaming era, there's an impeccable album buried in here somewhere. However, as it stands, the impact of Kid Cudi's ninth full-length, Insano, is dulled by the glut of 21 songs that run over an hour long. This might be a gift for longtime fans who just want to hear another batch of reliably hypnotic Cudi atmospherics to zone out to, but the frustration of hearing cuts like the pounding, riotous "Get off Me" with Travis Scott and the classic head-nod bounce of "Mr. Coola" bundled alongside the less memorable material is palpable. Overall, the production on Insano is fantastic, the bulk of the studio wizardry handled by Mike Zombie, Jean-Baptiste, Dot da Genius, Bnyx, and Cudi himself. Menacing moments such as "Keep Bouncin'," "Most Ain't Dennis," the booming "Cud Life," and the ominous "At the Party" with Scott and Pharrell Williams amplify the tension, just as pop-leaning fare like the inspirational "Wow" with A$AP Rocky, the bubble-pop "Porsche Topless," the Ace of Base-sampling "Electrowavebaby," and the gorgeous, hum-heavy "Blue Sky" highlight the softer, mainstream-minded side of Cudi. That refreshing introspection that's become one of his calling cards is deeply felt on tearjerkers like "X & Cud" with the late XXXtentacion and the aptly titled "Tortured." Indeed, there are so many highlights on Insano that it seems almost counterintuitive to have diluted them with stuff that should have been tacked onto a bonus deluxe release. With a little editing, Insano could have been one of Kid Cudi's strongest releases to date. Instead, listeners are given an uneven playlist of great highs and should-have-been B-sides that, in the very least, deliver the expected vocal melodics, haunting vibes, tongue-twisting bars, and "tortured" emotions that Cudi has mastered over the years."

	Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager Used - Vinyl - B0015035-01 2010 2LP US original gatefold pressing. Solid VG+ player. "Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon II was released in a year where rap album sequels were common, but unlike most of the competition, this sequel has a very strong link to its predecessor. It’s actually the outcome of the alt-rap star’s breakthrough debut as it deals with fame, and Cudi’s admittedly unwise way of handling it, liquid cocaine. As a result, you have to care quite a bit about this Mr. Solo Dolo character for Man on the Moon II to fully work its magic. Cudi’s opening line “You are now in the world that I’m ruining” is a spot-on warning as the album slowly spirals down into sourness and regret, but just like on his debut, the soundscape is spacy and far-reaching, making this interstellar therapy session a much more interesting transmission. At its best, it’s fascinating, like when rapper Cage and indie singer St. Vincent whirl in a paranoid black hole dubbed “Maniac,” while Cudi issues more warnings with “I love the darkness, yea, I’d like to marry it”. “Don’t Play This Song,” with Mary J. Blige, puts it even more bluntly with “Wanna know what it sounds like when I’m not on drugs?/Please, please don’t play this song” while the great “Wild’n Cuz I’m Young” tells snooping blogs they shouldn’t bother, he’ll tell his own story. Elsewhere, he seems admirably open to the idea of disgrace, but those who grow tired of the star’s indulgences will have to wait around for the out of place yet welcome numbers, like the Kanye West and rock guitar feature “Erase Me” or the dream pop influenced “Marijuana” which runs 4:20 for a reason. In the end, the lonely stoner of his debut seemed to have a wider appeal, but the contradictory, troubled artist presented here will give the Cudi faithful much more to ponder. Everything else is equal, so skeptically ease yourself in or take the full dive accordingly." All Music Guide – David Jefferies more
	Man On The Moon III: The Chosen Colored Vinyl - New - B0033424-01 Sealed 2022 2LP Gatefold, Limited Edition "Sea Blue" Coloured Vinyl Pressing.Light Crease Bottom Right Corner. "The First Installment Of Kid Cudi's Man On The Moon Series Was Released In 2009, When He Was Just Starting To Establish Himself As A Distinctive Creative Force. The Debut Studio Album From The Brooklyn-based, Cleveland-bred Rapper Expanded On The Stark Emotional Landscapes Blueprinted By Kanye West's 808s And Heartbreak Just A Year Earlier, With Cudi Inspecting His Insecurities, Anxieties And Other Various Demons With A Shocking Vulnerability That Was Still Uncommon On Rap Records At The Time. Cudi's Combination Of Lyrical Openness And Stardusted Production Felt Fearless And New, And The Personality That Came Into Form On 2009's Man On The Moon: End Of Day Would Influence The Next Wave Of Emotionally Charged Rappers. In The Decade That Followed, Cudi Himself Experimented With Styles And Approaches While Perpetually Battling His Demons, To Various Degrees Of Success. Man On The Moon, Vol 3: The Chosen Represents Both A Return To Form For Cudi As Much As A Distillation Of His Most Successful Experiments With Genre And Delivery. Production On Preceding Albums Could Be Somewhat Uneven Or Jarringly Ragged, But Production Values Throughout Motm3 Are Bold And Pristine. Spacy Synths And Enormous Drums Give The Record A Cinematic, Almost Sci-fi Atmosphere, Applying Cosmic Touches To Both Catchy Pop-Trap Tracks Like "Tequila Shots" And "Damaged" And More Driving Rock-inspired Numbers Like "The Void." The Moody Sung Vocal Lines And Nocturnal Energy That Defined Some Of Cudi's Best Early Material Are Revisited On Album Standout "Solo Dolo, Pt. III," And The Anguished Autotuned Hook Of "Sad People" Is Similar. There Are A Few Moments That Disrupt The Album's Flow, In Particular The Confusing Guitar Twang Of "Elsie's Baby Boy (Flashback)," The Overly Dramatic Bombast Of "She Knows This," And The Less-than-essential "Rockstar Knights," Which Finds Cudi Descendant Trippie Redd Bellowing Hollow Lyrics About A Self-destructive Lifestyle. For Every Bland Or Fumbling Track, There's One Where Cudi Successfully Evolves His Musical Language. The Glowing "Lovin' Me" Pairs Cinematic Percussion And '80s Movie Synths With Gliding Sung Verses And Guest Vocals From Indie Songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. On The Other End Of The Spectrum, "Show Out" Takes Cues From Drill For Both Its Distortion-Heavy Instrumental And The Relentless Flows That Cudi Zings Back And Forth With Guests Pop Smoke And U.K. Grime Mc Skepta. MOTM3 Marries My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy-Level Blockbuster Production With Kid Cudi's Distinctively Troubled Lyrical Perspectives And Gift For Spaced-Out Late-Night Atmospheres. Cudi Wrestles With The Same Struggles That Have Plagued Him Since He Began Sharing The Complexities Of His Internal World, But At Its Best, Man On The Moon, Vol 3: The Chosen Shows That Years Of Struggle Have Yielded Substantial Growth."

	Man On The Moon: The End Of Day New - Vinyl - B0013321-01 Sealed 2022 2LPgatefold reissue. "Kid Cudi is a fascinating rapper, claimed by the backpackers for his work with Kanye West on 808s & Heartbreak but equally loved by the mash-up club kids who went ape for his "Day N Nite" single, especially in its nu-disco remix from Crookers. His debut album was deep in the category of "much anticipated" as soon as it was announced, but when the promised game changer finally arrived, it became obvious that Cudi had already changed the game, and maybe debut albums aren't what they used to be. With its narration from Common and a track list broken into five "acts," Man on the Moon: The End of Day is almost as conceptual as its name implies, kicking off with a spaced-out slow roller coated in strings while Cudi states "Welcome, you're in my dream now." You most certainly are. What follows is Pink Floyd-styled story where the real world pain of "Soundtrack 2 My Life" mutates into sci-fi fantasies from the dark side of the moon. Along the way, brilliant samples -- like a bit of OMD's esoteric album Dazzle Ships -- and innovative sounds from Cudi and special guests Emile, Ratatat, and MGMT slowly shuffle the listener through the man's spliff-fueled exploration of space, a place where the artsy escape ridicule but fall prey to crushing isolation. With its bleeps, the hooky "Day N Nite" belongs, but the follow-up single, "Make Her Say," is a glorious mix of glitz and vulgarity with Kanye and Cudi twisting a Lady GaGa sample from "Poker Face" into "Poke Her Face." While it lightens the mood just before things turn ponderous, it barely fits. If it wasn't for the song, it would be as if Cudi launched his career with his own 808s, and therefore anyone looking for a more gripping kickoff should seek out either of his widely available mixtapes (A Kid Named Cudi or Dat Kid from Cleveland). This first official release is a soul searcher and may require more patience than your everyday debut. Still, the chilly, complicated Man on the Moon perfects the futuristic bleak-beat hip-hop Kanye purposed a year earlier, and rewards the listener with every tripped-out return."
