i have changed the name of my sophomore album to
WHY?
i started making this project like a collab album, filled with fun and upbeat records that for the most part left you with jack shit when you were finished listening. i took a step back, went on tour, and realized im where im at because of the type of songs i write. every time i read a comment from someone saying ive touched their lives in some way is what made me want to stop fucking around and continue pouring my life into my music. MOTM2 is dark by nature and instead of bringing you into my dreams like my first album, im bringing you into my reality. good and bad. it will explain more of who iam aswell as pushing the envelope musically. this project will focus on many dark, fun, and ignorant moments in my life since ive been kid cudi in a exciting and cinematic nature continuing the MOTM theme. this is my darkest work so far with a hint of fun and grooviness for those who like the classic chill cudi sound but elevated to another level. the things i cant speak will be the things i write. before anything else, you’d come to the conclusion i need a shrink, a stronger drug or a mentor. not a hug. a lot of you have read the news and think they know cudi, got some slick shit to say amongst your peers or just flat out hate me but you havnt the slightest clue of who iam. i will tell the story of Mr. Rager….
the sound: wouldnt you like to know 
release: aiming for august
completed? almost, got upcoming sessions with RATATAT and Dot Da Genius on the production side. as far as features ill keep you posted but I DEF got Chip on 2 joints so far. cleveland maneeee
cudder fact: me and dot are a production duo, our first creation is on the new album.
im excited to see what you guys think and i hope you love the new direction. dream on

The first song i heard of course was Day n Nite, Had to check out your other stuff and was amazed!! Not only the beats but the lyrics… Of course there about your life but i can relate to some of the stuff your saying. To me it sounds like your mixing old school with new and doing a fantastic job.. one of my favorite songs is embrace the martian. heard it once and fell in love with it. keep doing what you do man and ill keep listening and supporting, and you need to come to georgia!

Whiteboy yuuuup Says:
haha damn this stuff of commenting is some weird stuff…not used to it but what a trip like…having people just be like “hey scott” when you really dont know who the fluck they are. I keep peeking at some sick rappers and just stumbled upon this….your a dope person….i envy…like biggies. Ive read your struggle and most people just embelish this idea that only the ones that suffer make it….its my turn to get on track….im gonna suffer but fluck it. I gotta shyne some way….i hope to become at least an 1/8 of what you are and who you are (as a person) just with my twist to it…i gotta have them love me for me naw what im saying…maybe well talk some day…peece oUt

scottie,
its pretty damn cool to see what you’re doing with music and imagining what you will become. i don’t smoke or any of that shit cause my dreams are tweaky enough. its cool that you’re putting it all into this album, infact the best songs can only be made with your strongest emotions, so the dark ones may end up being the best. soundtrack 2 my life opened my eyes in numerous ways, and I’d love to see you wear the label of a revolutionary if you aren’t already. I haven’t heard anything like you’re music before, but I think we’ll be seeing lots of stuff like it in the upcoming decade. nobody knows what really goes on in your ahead except you, and yeah thats great and all but it can be freaky as shit sometimes because you’re the only one with that knowledge. shoot me an email sometime

Luke Says:
Cudi, I doubt you’ll see this, but just know you’ve touched my life in a crazy way. Your music has became therapeutic to me. Any time something is all sketch, all I do is plug in the headphones, go to my KiD CuDi playlist and just let it play. It just takes me someplace else and that type of shit isn’t easy to find. Any time I find a song I haven’t heard from you, the first thing I do is download it and put it on repeat. Your shit is off the chain man, and like many others, I deeply appreciate what you’re doing for us. I’ll be out in the crowd on May 29th in Eugene watching you rage! Play on player.
Yazzy Says:
Well…personally I feel liek any choice made by you will be a smart and realistic goal you know what your fans want and thats the truth.So no matter what pour out the truth.
Matt Says:
Scott
I’m not gonna lie I was a little worried about Cudder: The evolution of Revolution, but i also knew it would be hard for you to something out there that would be bad. You are an artist unlike any other. To also see that you respect your fans enough and understand them enough to take a step back and go back to ur roots thats just amazing. Your music plays a major role in my everyday life along with many people at my school. Hahah its kinda funny how our school has like a cudi community of stoners and just chill people. I am very excited to see you at Bonnaroo. Keep doing you man. No one is gonna be able to stop you anytime soon. Fuck Consequence and any of the haters.
Marco Says:
gotta say i dig the original title better but i support anythin u do Cudi. I really respect the theme ur tryin to portray. Cnt wait wait til you drop some new shit for us. Really wanna hear the full studio versionof “Groovin” sounds sick as fuck. ps. COME TO COLORADO BROSKI
melly kay Says:
love you cudi!

i’ve been listening to motm for months and months and it never gets old. your music INSPIRES!
Dan Says:

Keep makeing more songs like pursuit of happiness, soundtrack 2 my life, and the prayer. you are my absolute favorite artist to listen to because your real. keep it coming… all i have to say is get your next album out during the summer..i want to remember this comin summer by ur songs
Maria Says:
I love your musik! I relate to all your songs as well as blow down trees to them. You’re the definition of REAL. Much success! God bless you always.
THE LORD Says:
best song ever = dat new new
alexis Says:
Whatever you want to do Scott, do it. You’re great at storytelling so it sounds like Mr. Rager is going to make for a great album. I saw you at Penn and last fall at Governor’s Island and I’m hoping my student government can get you to Princeton because we’d love to have you.
I love what you do.. you’ve gotten me through some hard times. Best of luck completing the album!
- Alexis
assclown17 Says:
Love it, like the original original title more but man who gives a fuck, its about the music and the message. im pumped, still haven’t burnt out of demo tapes, album, or the mixtape.
p.s. COME TO DALLAS!!!!
JoshZilla Says:
I’m glad you are sticking with the vibes of MOTM. AT first I wasn’t feeling it b/c it was a little too dark and emo for me. But I decided to give it a full on listen while stoned and I must say, It’s been in heavy rotation. I feel as though I can relate to you in some way. You aren’t afraid to express yourself, which is how I am. Can’t wait to hear the new music!!!!!!
Defeat the Krueger Says:
That’s a Funny Ass Photo. Tell the Girl Looking At the Camera to Shut Her Mouth. I Would Let Those Dial-Ups Rock the Mic Also.

Chris Says:
this album will be the #1 summer thing i’ll be anxiously looking forward to, or actually…. of the year!! can’t wait for it bro. can’t even begin to describe how your music has helped me through the rough and good (high) times, especially the good times cause its like a whole nother level with your music. for approximately 2 years i’ve been listening to your music almost everyday and initially i got criticized for it by my peers, what haters!! eventually giving me the nickname chris cudi (pronounced like cootie. LOL). Ironically they all saw the light and the meaning behind your music, now most of them are listening to your tracks religiously, damn fronters. lol keep doing what you be doing maaang, make G.O.O.D. musicc
Chris Says:
first dot da genius and cudi collab song? that means… DOSE OF DOPENESS is on it! loooooove that song, go youtube it, theres like only 1 video of it, its utter sicknessss
Jerald Says:
This will be the best album ever. Well…besides MOTM: The end of day.
dank toker ;) Says:

Chris C Says:

Travis H. Says:
Man it need to hurry up and come out causse im tired of listenin to the same kid cudi!! But i like the songz though thats whyi play the back to back to back. Like right now im listenin to t.g.i.f
Wesley B. Says:
i like that you want to rap about reality and your life and i like that kind of music because you don’t see too many rappers out there doing that. So my oppion is that you should stick with MOTM2
