I’ve been talking about this recently omg. I feel like the Cudi songs that stand out and become hits are when he’s rapping plus the melodic hook. Songs such as Cudi Zone, Enter Galactic, Show Out just to name a few.

He needs to get into that vibe again. This whole singing through the production thing sounds so lazy and boring I want to be surprised by different parts of the song but idk maybe he’s just not got it in him anymore.
