If nothing has enticed you yet to pick up Cudi’s freshman album tomorrow, this will.  Kid Cudi recently performed “Pursuit of Happiness,” the third single off his new album, live on Letterman.  Those of you who are sick of his most popular single Day ‘N Nite please watch this and understand the scope of Cudi’s fresh and energetic talent.  The way he commands the stage reveals a less edgy and more smooth vision of hip hop (or rap).  And for you rockers out there, there is a sweet guitar solo by featured guest Ratatat.  It’s really a great song, and I am sure such new and inventive musical raw talent will be plentiful on the album.  Man on the Moon: The End of Day–get yours.
