Kid Cudi announces "Man on the Moon 3," and I can't stop from fan girling

 


BATTEN THE HATCHES.

LOCK THE DOORS. 

SOMEONE CALL NARDUAR. 

KID CUDI IS RELEASING MAN ON THE MOON III.


In an announcement made via his twitter Oct. 26, Cudi released a small video announcing the Moon Man's return. While there is no release date, instead the video promises that the album - or music from it- is coming soon. I'm willing to wager this means December but we'll see.

We are finally getting the third installment of the critically acclaimed Man on the Moon series. This album has been in the works since he initially announced it like five years ago(?) but subsequently scrapped it for a slew of other albums.

I won't get into why the album was never released then. I'm chalking it up to Cudi was not in a good headspace to make it and his fans (me included) were snobs and only wanted MOTM3. Cudi has been through a lot and if he feels now is the time to release this, then I am absolutely not complaining.

Here's the announcement below:

Let's be real, Kid Cudi fathered the entire genre of rappers we listen to now.

Let me know what you think,

UNCUT: Jack B talks his latest project "Growing Pains"

Image
Last week Jack B released his second project "Introspection," a seven track EP reflecting on his personal growth as an artist and person.  Produced by Duffy and Falak, the project gives listeners insight into his life, his insecurities and internal struggles. Hailing from Grand Junction, Colorado, the 19 year old artist is part of the independent collective, 343 Entertainment. B. says he spent seven months working on this project and while that may not seem long compared to other artists, it's clear that B. has agonized over every aspect of this project. So without further ado, here’s Jack B UNCUT: What was the inspiration behind the cover art and album title?  Originally the project was called growing pains and the cover featured a baby picture of me, but after tons of changes and cuts the project came together to form this narrative on some of my inner conflicts, so to say. I drew inspiration for the cover from logics under pressure album cover, and from roddy riches Pl

How to handle your family on Thanksgiving

Image
Thanksgiving is coming, brace yourselves. That means awkward conversations about personal matters in your life, cringing at racially/sexually inappropriate jokes your uncle makes and worst of all... political conversations. Take it from me being a journalist, these conversations are the worst, especially in today's climate. However, they aren't ever going to go away - unless you fake your death through an elaborate hot air balloon accident and go into hiding. For those of you that aren't that bold to move your entire life to avoid these conversations, here are some things you can do to make Thanksgiving dinner a little less sucky. 1) Get a good beer/wine armor going Right out of the gate, drink. I am not saying that you need to get shit faced. In fact, getting wasted at a family event like this is possibly the worst idea you can have. That being said, getting a good buzz and developing an armor of fuzziness can't hurt you either. The alcohol will warm

Kipp Stone releases exclusive song for Kinda Neat

Image
  A little over a week after Kipp Stone dropped his "Faygo Baby" EP, we get a new interview and song from him called "Retrograde Rap." Released on the Kinda Neat podcast, the song features Stone in his element, effortlessly rapping over a classic boom-bap song that sounds like Madlib made for Freddie Gibbs. This may be one of my favorite songs Stone has ever released. He just plays with so many delivery styles and topics that every play through offers something different. His signature style of dreary lyricism is on full display too as Stone talks about existentially dying for some change and how he's dealing with inner demons.  A while back, Stone said he was considering making his album "HOMME" his last album but it sounds like he's picking up momentum. In fact, during the podcast Stone talks about the next three albums he's plotting - which is a win for Cleveland rap and hip-hop nerds alike. What I can't believe is that he just got a han
