Raekwon is a way better rapper than kid cudi. But lyrical content kills his shit. "I'm using a pyrex to cook coke." To me, thats thoughtless garbage. Okay you could get away with that stuff way back when but seriously Raekwon, your claiming your still cooking crack. Thats good man, congrats. No thought goes into those type of rhymes.
Kid Cudi pretty much took hip hop in a new direction. Production was amazing, rhymes were decent, and I absolutely loved his lyrical content and ability to paint a picture/tell a story through his album. Everything comes together and it sounds sooo good start to finish. Rather than boast about his rapping skills, money, bitches, etc. cudi decided to talk about his insecurities on his album, as apparent through his dreams. In his real life, like all rappers, he's/they are cocky as fuck, but in their dreams they face their troubles: addiction, "I got 99 problems and they all bitches", Solo Dolo, etc. PLus ratatat is dope.
dope fucking album^^
