The Cobbles Review | Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon: The End of Day
September 22nd, 2009 by Adam Mark
Last week we hit you with the review of Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 3″, this week it’s Kid Cudi’s turn. The Kid they call Cudi has had one of the most unique come ups in recent history being that his hit single “Day ‘n’ Nite” has pretty much had 4 lives. Originally leaked in late 2007, it blew up on many a blog site, officially getting released on his “A Kid Named Cudi” mixtape in 2008, then sprouting a remix frenzy resulting in the ever so radio played Crookers remix. And finally, it’s now seen the light of day (or night) on his first studio album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day.
The Cobbles Review | Jay-Z The Blueprint 3
September 16th, 2009 by Adam Mark
It’s been more than a minute since I’ve bought a CD, main reason being the gigs of mediocre albums stocking my iTunes library, and plenty more shitty ones, but The Blueprint 3 was one of those rare albums that I felt the need to go out and purchase and here’s why.
I’ve had the chance to listen to BP3 a number of times, and I must admit, at first I was rather disappointed. There was nothing that really caught my ear the first time through. I mean sure, I stopped and let the head nod to a few of the singles I already had the chance to appreciate, but nothing really hit me as a slugger. A few days went by where I really didn’t listen to it that much, however on Monday I figured I’d at least give Jay the attention he deserves and sat down with this album to give it my undivided attention.
