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

Alex Says:
Go with Man On The Moon II: The Ghost in the Machine, Cudi!
Just like Common said at the end of Up, Up, and Away.
Really dope name, dude.
I think it fits perfectly with the idea of your next album.
But I really like that you listened to your fans man and are going to include more songs about his life and life itself, because thats what I loved about you first album man.
But also include some chill songs, to smoke to man.

riko Says:
Really liked your first album for the truth, deepness and true emotion in it. I like your chill songs to just vibe out and smoke to… with your new direction I think your style would collaborate really well with a psy/progressive/ambient artist.. Should think about it. keep choofing and making real music.. fuck mainstream.

THE first song I have listened is ” PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS” and after that for me it was a revelation I have in my heart mixed feeling and TODAY I know what I have to do in my life love u so MUCHHH , thanks.
I WANT REALLY TO KNOW WHO IS THE RAPPOR WHO HAVE MANY IMPORTANT THINGS OR HIS MIND AND HIS BRAIN IS JUST U
ONE QUOTATION NO 2 : ”
I am happy, that’s just the saddest lie
I’ve got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring out of me
I bring them to the light for you
It’s only right
This is the soundtrack to my life ”
“I know it’s easy to imagine but it’s easier to just do
See, if you can’t do what you imagine, then what is imagination to you?
Just a waste of space in your brain, to take the place of hate, where things all the same
Tell me your secrets, the things that make you tick
I like when you talk because your voice is angel-ess, ay
”
again , again thanks
Duke14 Says:

It’s a wallpaper too
Apollo Says:
Sounds unreal man. Its interestin watchin you map out your musical journey.
More Ratatat beats are necessary, especially if your gettin darker, loved the dirty electro guitar solo in the alternate pursuit of happiness video.
You gotta explain why you ditched the ghost in the machine, saw that was a title to one of b.o.b’s new joints figured that was the reason. Stoked for the legend though.
Purpleacb Says:
I know I’m little late, but within the past few weeks I’ve come to love your music via Pandora. It’s crazy that I can relate to so many of your songs. I love seeing fellow underdogs rise to the top while remaining humble. I normally don’t purchase CDs, but hearing these songs has most definately changed that. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Purpleacb Says:
Can u come to Tyler, Tx? Please and thank you
Arielus Says:
look scott!!! you.ARE.the.SHIT. Period. Do whatever the fuck you want. I trust you. Peaaaaaace
NICK Says:
You should do a joint wit Drake!
Dan Says:
I’m full behind you brother. Your last album did touch my life because it was such a personal experience. You are one of the few artists who is okay with being themselves. People can relate to your emotions. Put your heart into this and if you do – so will your fans.
Thank you for being the most real rapper. We need you.
wopper jr. Says:
i’m happy to hear this dude. your first album was touching. not to mention an instant classic in my mind. ya music is truly an inspiration for shit i go thru and trying to do in my life. keep it rollin my dude the blunts and ya music. Dream Ooooon.
FATJames Says:

Anekqua Brown Says:
YEAH! about damn time, I can’t wait. Like I randomly one day bought your cd not knowing really nothing about your sound except day and night and soundtrack to my life, and literally fell in love! Shit is dope cuz
I bet this one will be great. The thing about the part ” the story of mr. rager”, my pyschology professor’s name was rager and that bitch failed me haha. thanks cudi 
Chad Says:
Cudder. u got me into music man. before u i dint give a shit about it.. ppl always say music is a “big part” of their life nd i never knew wht that ment but now i do. it touches me man.. the first song i herd was simple as and it tripped me out soooo bad haha but i fell in love with the hole album slowly. now still to this day it rarely leaves my cd player and it’s always in full rotation never skippin a song (accept day n night cuz i never got into it). yo keep doin ur thing tho brudda.. just lettin u kno u’ve been a major influence in my life nd i’ll always back anything u do. ur a real nigga that’s got real prollems nd i feel that.
