Their inclusions is what makes Satellite Flight a forgettable album, proving that Satellite Flight would have been better off as an EP. The title track is a heroic anthem for the summoning of the Moonman, who shows that he can also get sensual (“Balmain Jeans”) and introspective (“Too Bad I Have to Destroy You Now.”) The drawback for Satellite Fight: The Journey to Mother Moon is the four instrumental songs that take up nearly half of the album’s runtime. On Satellite Flight, the space themes of Man on the Moon return, deeply embedded in the production.
Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon Aside these highlights, the content of WZRD is not all that memorable.īest tracks: “Teleport 2 Me, Jamie”, “Love Hard”Ĩ. The electric guitar on “Love Hard” is hard-hitting, backed up by an infectious chorus, and “Teleport 2 Me, Jamie” is a standout for its emotional tone. With the assistance of Dot da Genius, WZRD‘s amateur take on rock is pulled off much better than Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven‘s. WZRD represents the first attempt at Cudi experimenting with his love for rock music. Its 18-track side is backed up by an additional 8 tracks filled with unpolished rehearsal demos, tracks that only prolong the conclusive mediocrity of Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven. The Rockstar Rager drowns himself in 26 tracks of cheap guitar riffs, off-key wailing, and worst of all, Beavis and Butthead skits. Cudi continued on 2010’s WZRD route by releasing a totally rock-inspired album, resulting in his worst album to date. The infamous Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven was an experimental failure with too many flaws to mention. Out of nine albums and one mixtape, here’s Kid Cudi’s best projects ranked worst to best. With the assistance of his stellar hookwriting, Kid Cudi has continued to push boundaries by trying something new, even though it has not always been well-received. He’s never been the strongest of rappers, but has showcased a unique musical talent with the sort of production used in conjunction with his space themes and blend of rapping and singing. He was one of the first rappers to rap in-depth about depression and personal vulnerability, inspiring the current generation of emo rappers such as Drake, Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert. Kid Cudi is one of the pioneers of modern rap music.
