Dat Kid From Cleveland Better Keep Dreamin ON! It's Coming True


Now below you will find what hypebeast thought they should say about Kid Cudi, read it. But I feel like he's giving me what I need... to a certain extent. I just want just a lil more. Right now, he sounds like Kanye's protege. Like he's the singer Ye wished he could be. Truth. However, my favorite trak is Poker Face, due to Common and Look Up In The Stars w/ Wale, that song is just fire and 09 Freestyle-- the flow is fly as hell! You be your own judge. They're some worthy tracks on this mixtape like Buggin Out 2009 and Sky Might Fall. I can't till I get a full album. I want to see where he goes. But for now, I'll be bangin while I clean my house and work. xo, be

Mixtapes have always been important in Hip Hop. However, in recent years they have moved from freestyles over rehashed beats with DJs screaming over the verses to virtually album quality music. Now, MCs use the format to establish a buzz, intensify that buzz and in some cases pave the road to super stardom. Since Kid Cudi hooked up with Kanye’s G.O.O.D Music his buzz has been deafening with the release of his stoner anthem Day N’ Nite . The Cleveland MC seeks to capitalize on this as well as prove his worth with the release of his new mixtape aptly titled Dat Kid From Cleveland. The mixtape includes some tracks that you may have heard before such as, the sexual innuendo laced collaboration with Kanye and Common “I Poke Her Face” and the Transformers 2 theme song “Sky Might Fall”. There are also new tracks, skits and freestyles that you will hear for the first time. While the mixtape title shows a bit of modesty, soon Cudi will be known as more then just a kid from Cleveland.

  1. I dunno - compared to day n' night everything else I hear from him is a disappointment. I hope he comes up with something huge, cuz I'd love to hear more along those lines...
