For most, A Kid Named Cudi was the introduction to Kid Cudi. Thing catapulted for the rapper when Crookers picked up "Day & Night" to remix, so this was his last moment before hitting the big time. Even at this time, Cudder had his sound mapped out, and he certainly informed the sounds of the highly influential Kanye West departure, 808s & Heartbreak.
For a Cudi fan, revisiting his seminal mixtape is always a blast, and while there were a few big records on the project, there were also plenty of great deep cuts. "Cleveland Is The Reason" is one of them, which is the track we've chosen to highlight today. What's your favorite track from the tape?
Quotable Lyrics:
And a topical question is why I'm so chill
Girls don't understand, he ain't even made a mill
They say I'm complex just like the magazine
I wear my closet complex like a magazine
Cleveland Is The Reason
