KiD CuDi - New Rap Hard Mixtape (old)

       


          Yet again another blog about Kid Cudi I know. I am gonig to be honest, he is my favorite artist. Not just because he is from Cleveland but because of his word. Cudi raps about real stuff and doesn't care what others say about his music. His music isn't the generic type of rap music that you are used to hearing.


          He loves to sing in his songs. Kid Cudi has a great singing voice and I especially love when he breaks his voice out in a choice and just lets it rip. He is also a very underated rapper. I think people are starting to think that he is to mainstream now and he is becoming just another rapper.


          Cudi is a very strong individual. He smoked marijuana very often during his early rapping career and most of high school but has recently came out saying that he gave it up. He said that he did it for so long he just got tired of that lifestyle. I see him maturing as not only a musician, but also as a person. He wanted change, change for the better.


          Kid Cudi cares a lot about his fans so he is trying to produce the best kind of music that he can. He works had at what he does, and that is make beautiful music.


          Recently, Cudi has released a new mixtape that was actually produced a while ago during his early career. He never released this mixtape but now it is finally out. I always get excited when I hear new musical works of art by Cudi.


          My favorite song on this new old mixtape is called "I'm Not The Average". The beat in this really hit me hard the first time I heard it. I enjoy beats like this that sound old school. The way that Cudi raps and sings in this is also enticing. It has a lot of soul and I am really diggin it. I suggest that if you are a Cudi fan to check this out.

          Also look out for his upcoming album that should be coming out some time in Decembercalled "Wizard". Kid Cudi claims that once this album goes out, it is going to change music. I am very excited for it!

Mac Miller - Blue Slide Park



          Yes it is finally here. The longly anticipated Mac Miller album, "Blue Slide Park". This album has been getting hyped by many ever since rumors of a Mac Miller album blossomed up. It has been a trending topic on twitter for weeks.



          Mac was on a quest to reach one million followers on twitter and he kept releasing some singles off of this album as he acquired more followers. The singles off of his album that he released were "Frick Park Market", "Smile Back" and "Party On fifth Ave".

          Previous to Releasing this album Mac Miller has produced many mixtapes. They were not hyped as much as his album was but they had songs that I believe are just as good, maybe even better than some songs on his "Blue Slide Park" album. Many are falling in love with Mac Miller as of late but very few have been listening to him long enough to hear his older and deeper works.

          Mac has a very interesting rapping style. He is a pretty goofy guy, but I think that a big reason why I like him so much. He is happy and raps about what he wants and he works with whats on his mind. He is a rising star and hopefully this album with be a big hit and he will be noticed among many. I have been listening to Mac Miller since the summer of 2010 back when he only had three songs.

          Take my advice on this one… this kid is going to be big someday. Hopefully he will start working with other artists and he can learn and grow by watching them perform and create music.

Here are the links to his singles off of BSP that I mentioned earlier in the blog…
