Deconstructing Matious

Kid Cudi
Rap for suburban kids who think weed is "edgy" and like the romantic idea of a artist who is addicted to it, and that it's responsible him putting out such introspective material. I really couldn't give a **** about the struggles "mr rager" has to go through. Many casual hip hop listeners can't really discern that rapping about emotions doesn't automatically mean it's good music.

His sound is light and radio-friendly because he sounds like alt rock if a evil cpu made it

"I KEEP RUNNNING ON BACK TO YOU--UUUU!!!"

Your mom doesn't like all that talk of "bitches and guns" but this, this is actual music with substance

Drake
Take Lil Wayne and Kanye West, mix them together. Filter out any individuality, originality, personality or creativity. Pour it into one of those big plastic novelty cups with the advertising for "Step up 2 the streets 2" or w/e, and that overpriced bull**** in the cup is my not-quite-there metaphor for drake.

The dude might as well not even be a real person. He follows lil wayne coat tails so ****ing closely if it wasn't for the fact that he occasionally sings his own hook (im on one!) they would be the same artist.

You know how people blame nirvana for the creation of nickelback and bush and all that watered down bull****? I blame Lil Wayne for drake, tyga, nicki, big sean, and all this watered down, bland cornball punchline rap.

Drake isn't a musician as much as he is a driven entertainer, who knows how to play the part of a trendy rapper. It really isn't that ****ing hard with the help of a studio. Childish Gambino is just as good, any run-of-the mill comedian can write these punchlines,you just got to look the part.

that 9 piece song is a summer hit, people are blasting it from their shitty car systems like crazy.

yep he only has 1 song right?

I do agree with your analysis of Drake though but Kid Cudi not so much. It sounded like you were talking about Wiz Khalifa not Kid Cudi.

I swear like his last 5 singles are exactly the same. I just clicked some random rick ross songs just now to post and they all sounded the same.

Naw it was definitely targeted at cudi. "the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night" was his first popular chorus, weed was his trademark.

Yeah, from Day and Nite but if you actually listened to the album in full, there was a cool story behind the entire album the whole man on the moon concept

I don't even know why I'm defending Rick Ross anyways lol. I don't like him that much. I just like that most recent song "play your part"

plus I like it for everyone else in the song besides him. Wale, Meek Mill and Chester singing the hook.

We can both agree his latest album was trash right?
kid cudi that is

omfg yes!

He only had three good tracks on it and I'm not counting "Erase Me"

The whole darker theme that he was going for I didn't like at all.

Hopefully he goes in a different direction with Wizard.

While I'm not hating on you djchameleon. You like some crappy music.
