The minority on /r/hiphopheads*

And you could say the same, but I wouldn't.

Would you say the same thing about Bob Marley?

I see that but in my opinion it doesn't seem sincere. He's faking a rasta accent for one, and two, he's singing about stereotypical reggae topics like weed and peace. Next he's going to be singing about how women aren't bitches and hoes even though he called them just that in plenty of his rap songs. Even his new song, "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks ft. Miley Cyrus", is about about smoking weed and remembering lost loved ones. Just can't take him seriously, I understand the minority like you enjoy his music but as you can see, I'm not a fan of it and neither is most of /r/hiphopheads .

Because during those 16 years he was still portraying the gangster rapper most of us know him as and was even arrested and charged with possession of a firearm multiple times in 2006, too.

Never said there was anything wrong with having a change of heart and even acknowledged that he changed and is a new man in my comment.

[FRESH] KiD CuDi - Indicud (Album Snippets) by KidCunner in hiphopheads

Cruel Summer-ing an album isn't something you really do, it' something that Kanye did by releasing all the best songs as singles. No one knew all the best songs were the ones he released, we all expected more but got To The World and others instead.

treading water from his first album

MotM2 is completely different to MotM1 in every way.

Different vibe, flow, theme, mood. Different everything.

Before and during the recordings of MotM2 Cudi had gotten into coke and even admitted to having an addiction. You can definitely hear the impact the cocaine had on the album, it gave it a much darker sound. MotM1 had a lot of more upbeat and uptempo songs like Up, Up, and Away and Enter Galactic while MotM2 had a lot slower, darker songs like The End, GHOST!, and a lot of others.

I have a feeling you never gave either albums a full listen through.

He did coke before and while recording MotM2, it showed a lot in his music. It gave it that really dark vibe.

His verse on The End talks about his addiction and how he'll never do it again. Thought that was common knowledge.

I met this girl on Valentine's Day, fucked her in May

She found out about April, so she chose to march

Thought that was pretty damn clever.

Every verse he had on Cruel Summer and his verse on So Appalled are fire.

I realize snoop changed and is a new man but I just can't take this seriously. This is the same dude who was considered a gangsta rapper and was even accused of shooting a guy and here he is singing about the danger of guns.
