#KID CUDI ALBUM REVIEW PASSION PAIN AND DEMON SLAYING SERIES#
Best known for his two-album series “Man on the Moon,” Cudi’s most recent album was the double-disc “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven.” A long, strange trip of a work, it received mixed reviews.
The charismatic Cudi also has acted on HBO’s “How to Make It in America,” Fox’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” 2014’s “Need for Speed” videogame adaptation and 2015’s Sundance fave “James White.”Īs he has evolved as a musician, Cudi broadened his skill set from rapper to instrumentalist, and the result has been a series of records as expansive as they are unique. The artist, who was born Scott Mescudi, released his debut album on Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint in 2009, has released five studio albums and collaborated with West, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. If I didn’t come here I would have done something to myself.” His website contains a simple message: “Kid Cudi #brb.” In the unflinching post, after admitting that he felt ashamed for what he was experiencing, the artist wrote, “Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges. The musician, whose curious, immediately recognizable work over the past eight years is virtually its own sub-genre, has acknowledged struggling with depression in the past, and on Tuesday, he revealed the extent of his experience. Anya Zoledziowski of Exclaim said, Not only is Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin loaded with hits, but it also draws attention to Cudis renewed sense of self. First off, I want to touch a bit on the flawed nature of the album.
Passion Pain and Demon Slayin’ manages to find a happy medium in being a deeply flawed album, yet also providing some content that even casual listeners can groove along to. The experimental rap-turned-rock artist and multi-instrumentalist Kid Cudi, who is slated to release his new album this month, has committed himself to an institution after experiencing suicidal thoughts, he wrote in a moving Facebook post Tuesday. Luckily, Cudi manages to pull himself out of this tailspin, even if only slightly.
