Cudder and the Revolution of Evolution is no more. Sadly. What an awesome title, right? In an unsurprising move, rapper Kid Cudi recently had a change of heart and decided to take a whole new direction with the album. It will be called Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. He made the announcement on his blog:
i started making this project like a collab album, filled with fun and upbeat records that for the most part left you with jack shit when you were finished listening. i took a step back, went on tour, and realized im where im at because of the type of songs i write. every time i read a comment from someone saying ive touched their lives in some way is what made me want to stop fucking around and continue pouring my life into my music. MOTM2 is dark by nature and instead of bringing you into my dreams like my first album, im bringing you into my reality. good and bad. it will explain more of who iam aswell as pushing the envelope musically. this project will focus on many dark, fun, and ignorant moments in my life since ive been kid cudi in a exciting and cinematic nature continuing the MOTM theme.
Right off the bat, I’m not diggin’ the name change since the first title was so awesome; it just rolls off the tongue, you know? Hopefully he’ll save it for album #3. Anyway, making his sophomore album a sequel to Man on the Moon makes sense due to its content. The first album brought us inside Cudi’s dreams and nightmares. MOTM2 will venture us into his “reality.” If it’s anything like the first go-around, which it promises to exceed, expect greatness.
