#Cudi montage instrumental full#
Cudi’s vocals are amazing, especially when they are layered with each other while heard on top of a full instrumental.Įven though the project is highly successful, there were a few aspects from the actual rollout to some of the tracks that could have seen improvement. The cohesiveness of the tracks also works well as each mesh smoothly with one another. The production from the sampling, variety of instruments, sonic landscapes, to the overall mixing and mastering is stellar. Knowing that everyone will be approaching Kanye West’s and Kid Cudi’s KIDS SEE GHOSTS album with high expectations, it is safe to say the expectations will be met. The layering of Cudi’s vocals especially at the end of the track is a nice way to end the project as well. On the final track “Cudi Montage”, it’s the perfect ending as we hear a more stripped down instrumental that features an acoustic guitar in addition by being surrounded with a tight percussion arrangement underneath. His overall emotion and flow pairs nicely with the instrumentals, which can be considered to have a trancing quality. What’s refreshing is that Kid Cudi’s ad-libs and complex vocal layering come into the spotlight in a more immersive way. The tracks that follow seen in “Reborn” and “Kids See Ghosts” add a nice diversion to the intensity seen at this point in the project. Based on those lyrics, Kanye and Cudi emphasize their lyrics on feeling “freeee” and stating “I don’t feel pain anymore”. Lyrically, both Kanye and Cudi base the hook of the song around the first part of “Ghost Town” seen on ye with “ I put my hand on a stove, to see if I still bleed/ And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free”. On the fourth track “Freeee”, it serves as the second part to “Ghost Town” which was seen on Kanye West’s album ye. “Freeee” is probably the most successful song on the album when looking at the cohesiveness of both the lyrics and instrumentals. Within the track, Kanye’s controversial and direct lyricism comes into play in lines such as “ It feels so good it should cost/ Bought an alligator, I ain’t talkin’ Lacoste”. One of the most successful tracks on the entire project is 4th Dimension as it showcases the sampling perfection seen from Kanye with Louis Prima’s “What Will Santa Claus Say”. Driven by distorted guitars accompanied by a deep pulsing kick, the second track from the KIDS SEE GHOSTS album provides us the opportunity to hear more developed bars from both Kanye West and Kid Cudi. The highlight within the opening track is from neither of these things when after a minute we are hit with Yeezus-like drum hits paired with Kanye West’s dramatic screaming ad-libs in the form of rhythmical accents heard above.Īfter making such a sharp opening statement, the second track “Fire” continues with the same intensity. Surprisingly, Pusha T is heard immediately after spitting heat with deep poignant lines about how he is authentic and how other rappers are trying to be like him. In the opening track “Feel The Love”, Kanye West and Kid Cudi cut right to what we are looking for as Cudi is heard almost shouting “I can still feel the love” over a timid synth line.
An example of these sonic eras can be seen from him showcasing his sampling perfection on The College Dropout and Late Registration to the speaker breaking drums and rawness heard in Yeezus. With the crazy potential of us wondering what might happen if these two legendary artists collaborated with one another, after a decade of waiting we thankfully don’t have to wait anymore.įrom listening to the entire album of KIDS SEE GHOSTS, a common theme that we see within the project along with Kanye West’s latest releases is that he incorporates all of the various sounds that we have heard throughout all eras of his career. After dropping ye and being the executive producer on Pusha T’s Daytona, Kanye West has teamed up with Kid Cudi for their joint album KIDS SEE GHOSTS. Ever since we saw the release of Kanye West’s 808’s & Heartbreak we have been presented with the rumor that the two artists might eventually link up on a joint project.
