MAN ON THE MOON. Kid Cudi. Scott Mescudi. THE END OF THE DAY.

I'll be up up and away up up and away...cause in the end they'll judge me anyway, so whatever.

MAN ON THE MOON: THE END OF THE DAY.
I want to say so much about this album, but I feel like I can't get the words out on this one. I'm so excited that I have a new album to enjoy. This album takes me on a journey. Really. It's like a movie. It has scenes. The day in the life of Scott, narrated by Common. It makes me happy, it gets me motivated, it allows me to relate.
This album is up there as one of my favorite albums of the year along with UKNOWBIGSEAN & Gone Fishing. I think this album will either be a hit or miss with people. If you have an appreciation for melodies and good hooks vs heavy raps then I think you would appreciate this. If you liked 808s, you would like this. However, if you're big on Z-Ro, trae, etc and that style of music...you may not like this. I think people have to approach this with an open mind. Hiphop has SO MANY forms of itself.

There were a lot of songs that I heard on the album prior to its release such as Sky Might Fall, Mr. Solo Dolo, Make Her Say, and Pursuit of Happiness...I love all of those. However when I did my first listen through, my favorite track new to my ears is "Hyyerr." It's so...chill. It's one of those songs I'll just put on when I'm in a whatever mood. Like, nothing matters right now but my being and this song.
Sky Might Fall produced by Kanye. This song is for those bad days...where you really are thinking that the sky might fall, but it makes you realize..everything will be okay. Pursuit of Happiness man...heard this song on the David Letterman show I think when he performed. Who isn't in a pursuit of happiness? Whether you find your happiness in alcohol, drugs, people, success, money or love. Everyone is always in that route to be HAPPY. This song makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. He says..."I'll be fine once I get it. I'll be good.." Really though. You just gotta find that ONE thing that will make everything good in your world. Good luck in your route. :) and lastly...MY WORLD. "One day..this will be my world. (I told you so.)"
