yep! its funny how kanye, drake, 50cent etc wearing jesus piece and skinny jeans 7 years later while theire fuccboi-fans camping outside for days to get the 350 sneakers.. smh
Kid Cudi is one of the only rappers whose freestyles are off the top. Not mad at rappers who spit memorized written verses but the ability to truly freestyle is rare, well done Cudi.
Same thing when he says let the bass kick in a second after the bass kicks in. It always made me wonder if this was choreographed or something but I always came back to cudi being one of the best I ever heard
@@lordrob13 not choreographed at all, he's just going with whatever happens, incorporating what's going on around him lol, though thinking it's choreographed makes it even better because it's clearly not
@@jones3753 he wasn't saying anything prolific, just a good ass freestyle. It's not unbelievable that he can actually rap a little bit lol it's amazing what you get good at when that's all you do for years and years man.....
Adrian Alvarez yes sir. See when we were kids and in high school and college they still had great R&B smh idk what happened. Even some of the merengue, bachata, and some reggaeton I guess its all music idk. Thank God for throwbacks
One of the best freestyles ever. Straight off the dome and he kept is clean for the radio. That’s really hard to do. Also who else could freestyle to that first fast ass beat.
uzibitch1 I guess you're right there is plenty better but Eminem's a legend I went into this video having heard two kid cudi songs I didn't even expect him to rap well but he killed it
It's so crazy to think I've been listening to this man since 2007-8. 13 years. He's my all time favorite artist and to see how much of an impact he has made on not just "rap/hip hop" but music in general is just truly awesome to me.
dude there was never anyone like him b4, he started putting out such good music the year i graduated and bump him every sday. He makes albums you can put on and listen from start to finish and Most are great
Kid Cudi got me the through so much when I was younger. Now I’m going through a horrible break up and he’s getting me through it. Him and Eminem! 😂 so much love for Cudi man.
seeing this makes me want to see Cudi do the 5 fingers of death on sway. He killed these 3 beats which were tough to flow on, he will kill the beats on Sways show as well. Hopefully pre man on the moon 3 he does a promo run and freestyles on all these radio shows
This is musical talent, he was born to be a musician very FEW rappers that can feel the beat and spit off the dome, sure some of his lines are memorized verses of life, but nothing is written and nothing is planned here, just feel the beat and spit. Only one on Tim Westwood to actually kill a real FREESTYLE, boy started singing, FIRE.
Im 28 from Cincinnati Ohio was there till I was 16 almost 17. Then moved down to Florida, been here every since. I love kid Cudi's like this playlist I found is literally the kind of rap I grew up on. Aside from wiz, snoop,old school. Em.etc but cudi always was and always will be one of my favorite artists. His music makes me feel better
ok but seriously how many of you actually know a freestyle by heart and is stuck in your head all day? this is fire, been listening to it for over 8 years now.
Miss this Cudi, he was dope. I still am a fan and have been since A Kid Named Cudi and mess with the new tracks, but I would kill for him to flow like he did on MOTM 1 and 2.
The reason he his music has changed so much is because he wants to be a producer way before he became a rapper, if you notice half his songs in satellite flight didn't have any words, I'm pretty sure they were his beats. But MOTM3 will be much different and will be the cudi everyone loves. But to me everything cudi does is dope! Keep it up Moon Man ✌
14 years later and I'm driving to work.. and all of a sudden I get "from the double OH OH FROM THE DOUBLE OH" stuck in my head after hearing something similar on the radio... I could not put my finger on where I got that from but kept repeating it all day at work. Fast forward a couple of months later, this freestyle pops up on my feed. Thank you YT.. I use to watch this on weekly when I was a young lad
Listen people, his freestyle was 100 percent pure, from the top of his head type type shit, now you wanna talk shit, try freestylin just so you can find out for yourself how hard it is, and beside he cAme clean, other rappers like drake or wiz, ill wayne, tyga, are afraid to freestyle cuz it might just reveal how bad they truly suck if they're a rapper but yet can't freestyle, they'll just be spitting verses they already know. !KA-POW! So props to kid cudi
Im From Saudi Arabia and I have been listening to this freestyle everyday since my American friend played it once. Love it💯 I actually memoized it all lol
10 YEARS AGO! ONE OF THE HARDEST FREESTYLES OF ALL TIME!!
Come to this freestyle Dailey for last 2 months
@Carlos Pelaez Pleitez I listened to this in the 9th grade, I'm 25 now. lmao
TO THIS DAY! lol
Da FUCKING WIZARD!!! Legend
i listen to this all the time since released pagchomp
you know it's a good freestyle when this melody is still stuck in your head after 13+ years
dude, i saw 13 years ago and was like damn, this shit was on replay back in the day
@@WITHBEN yes omg 14-15 years old
Hahaha bro. Every time I do my shitty freestyles in my car by myself this melody is my go to naturally. Had to revisit.
Frrrr
You know its a Jadakiss song right? "Who's Real". Swizz Beatz production.
Cudi was lightyears ahead of the game with fashion.
yep! its funny how kanye, drake, 50cent etc wearing jesus piece and skinny jeans 7 years later while theire fuccboi-fans camping outside for days to get the 350 sneakers.. smh
And sonics, no 808's without Cudi.
Chris Brown Oh yeah, I'm well informed about his involvement to that album. Don't worry, I ain't a radio sheep lol
+Chris Brown bro no, we'd still have 808's without cudy, nikkas credited on 3 songs, one is a feature.
there's a reason why he was the manager of the bape store in soho (big fucking deal) before he got signed.
After about 15 years I’m back listening to this. Shows how much this has stuck in my head. He made my childhood kid cudi. Man on the moon was sick
Same
Rite-aid
same hereeee. I missed you mescudii
100% I still find myself randomly spittin lines from this
Facts
bruh I used to watch this everyday in 7th grade when it first came out lmao
SAME!! 6th grade for me tho. He's fuckin dope
+M-Hartz〈3 5th grade for me
Damn y'all young as fuck.
Shadcharleston ya
same bruh this shit was too good
when he sips his cup, he looks like frozone from the incredibles when he tells the cop "I'm just getting a drink"
Bryan Peralta haaaa real shit
hahaha!!!!
Im dead
I thought i was the only one thinking that
Bryan Peralta a comment ahead of its time
this dude is pure talent.... he just produced songs on the go
baq100 would be better if he had something prepared rather then just talking random shit
Even when I siiiiiiinnnnnnngggg...siiiiiiinnnnnnggggg. So sick man
Like true Aquarius do
''That was easy''
-Kid Cudi
easy does it
e z
Kid Cudi is one of the only rappers whose freestyles are off the top. Not mad at rappers who spit memorized written verses but the ability to truly freestyle is rare, well done Cudi.
Cudi was rockin slim jeans and leather before it was popular. (In hiphop)
No...
Lol Michael Jackson never existed?
Shadcharleston
in HipHop/Rap Of course it was cool in Pop
^ok nigga?
LMAO
2:13 the lights dim
2:15 "Dim them lights, get it in pimp tight"
So off the dome its not even funny
Been going back watching this for couple years and it's crazy that this is still better than many in the game today
Same thing when he says let the bass kick in a second after the bass kicks in. It always made me wonder if this was choreographed or something but I always came back to cudi being one of the best I ever heard
@@lordrob13 not choreographed at all, he's just going with whatever happens, incorporating what's going on around him lol, though thinking it's choreographed makes it even better because it's clearly not

Daniel lmfao dude’s an idiot. I freestyle like this all the time. It’s not hard, Cudi knows how to freestyle
Who's still coming back to this in 2023 💃🏽
2024
2024
We need more Kid Cudi. Killing the mic with a freestyle
Kid cudi, yes indeed we need more of his Music. I was listening to : I'm on the pursuit of happens. That's on of my jams!
The Son of A king the music now days lost meaning and value
Adrian Alvarez so true, but I still listen to some but very little.
The Son of A king yea. It's amusing at times and times it just gets annoying. My main man is Kendrick. And a little Jay Cole
Adrian Alvarez yes sir. See when we were kids and in high school and college they still had great R&B smh idk what happened. Even some of the merengue, bachata, and some reggaeton I guess its all music idk. Thank God for throwbacks
Damn this quarantine brought me way back 😂
Same yo!
MahhkyThaWiseguy978 lmaooooo i have fell victim as well
"Everybody put ya hands togethaaa, smoooth young brothaaa from the double Oh Oh Oh!" 🤘😂😂
Yooo same
One of the best freestyles ever. Straight off the dome and he kept is clean for the radio. That’s really hard to do. Also who else could freestyle to that first fast ass beat.
Ohhh I still have to comeback to this in 2024 he kills it!
literally the best freestyle I've ever heard and it's off the top
have you heard childish gambino he is really good
+Nathan Lindberg ya he's really good but I've never heard anything this flawless
listen to Mc juice. best freestyler (off the top) I've ever heard.
King Los
uzibitch1 I guess you're right there is plenty better but Eminem's a legend I went into this video having heard two kid cudi songs I didn't even expect him to rap well but he killed it
Literally unbelievable how in control he is
And he kept it clean for the the radio
@@LoseWithLos Bro's incomparable
I used to watch these Cudi freestyle clips back in 2009, still coming back to this in 2022. CUDI THE BEST
It's so crazy to think I've been listening to this man since 2007-8. 13 years. He's my all time favorite artist and to see how much of an impact he has made on not just "rap/hip hop" but music in general is just truly awesome to me.
now i understand why kudi is travis scott's Idol
cudi*
Maybe hes shortening Kid Cudi to Kudi, actually makes sense lmao
João Pacheco he corrected it himself, wasn’t an other person
dude there was never anyone like him b4, he started putting out such good music the year i graduated and bump him every sday. He makes albums you can put on and listen from start to finish and Most are great
Joe D.oreo Kanye didn’t exist?
This must be one of the best off the top freestyles I ever heard
not of the top though. 90% written :)
+Kunta92 it must be off top when they kept changing beats
Casperr xo Also when the bass kicks in at 1:15 he raps about it
Kunta92 you don’t know hip hop I guess lol. Very easy to tell when it’s a off top
LS // I guess you never heard Eminem’s Tim Westwood freestyle lol. This shit still dope af
Who’s here in 2019!? Kid Cudi killed these beats!
Cant believe this was 10 years ago
2020
I'm still there for this murder 🔥
2021😇😬
3:12 has been stuck in my head for about a decade. Something about “wifi skeet” is just absolutely hysterical
I love how he censors himself lol
Good guy cudi
Ditto
It was a little challenge they agreed before he started :)
He murdered this period.
11 years later..still one of the hottest freestyles out there. And Cudi's finishing line "That was easy." 🔥🔥🔥
Damn this shit is so legendary still coming back all these years later 🙏🏽🙏🏽
jesus this was 6 years ago holy fuuck i was in 8th grade
+Omar Elmansuri same
Haha me too man, crazy.
same
same
are u 20?
The first track was garbage for freestyling lol. "It's a little fast", Cudder's way of nicely saying "What the hell is this garbage"
Towards The Sunset seriously tho. Westwood is an idiot alot of times.
The fuckin sirens..
He still made it work
lol some club music
He murdered that shit tho. Its a classic
What people need to appreciate is Cudi is actually freestyling here.. hes not reciting memorized rhymes like most people do when they “freestyle”
it's 2016. I just made plans to watch this again in 2017. 🔥🔥🔥never die
2018
I’m watching it live in 09 and will see it in 2018.
Kid cudi and bino need to have a colab both of them are really good artits as well as freestylers
Couldn't agree more
Chris Roloson that would be godly. Would not be able to turn it off
2:10 soo sick how lights go down and he fits it in !!!! That's talent!
hightlight of the freestyle, also when the bass kicks in and he fits in too of the first freestyle
Been revisiting this freestyle since it dropped and never caught that he referenced the base when it came in
Kid Cudi got me the through so much when I was younger. Now I’m going through a horrible break up and he’s getting me through it. Him and Eminem! 😂 so much love for Cudi man.
cant believe this came out when i was a freshman in hs.. and i still come back. gonna listen to cudderisback next
2020 and still the hottest freestyle
Trueeee
@@jesusvelazquez9825 came back to your own comment a year later lmao
Its very good but I think eminems was better
@free bee LOWKEY they tied big homie
Torey Lanez is a close second lmao
Wow still one of the best freestyles I’ve heard in years 🔥🔥🔥🔥 day one fan 💯✝️
Years later and I’m still shocked at how hard Kid Cudi can go.
Come back to this every now and then. Best freestyle I’ve ever heard. I think its the best freestyle the guy in the back has ever heard too
seeing this makes me want to see Cudi do the 5 fingers of death on sway. He killed these 3 beats which were tough to flow on, he will kill the beats on Sways show as well. Hopefully pre man on the moon 3 he does a promo run and freestyles on all these radio shows
he didn’t
It was pre Man On The Moon 3 for along time
This is still to date one of the best freestyles I've ever heard. The delivery was impeccable. He was so cool and good looking back then oh man
Think he's not freestyling? At 2:10 they dim the lights in the recording room and he instantly raps about it
Seen this so many times and just noticed that. Makes this 10x more bad ass.
That's what a freestyle is its what comes off the top of your head
That could of easily been staged, but is still think it's off the top
Who thinks this want freestyled with all the made up he noises he made lmao
4:32 to 4:42 this is hip hop, wit the time we r in contextually this is dope. very clever bars.
Only cudi would make a hook for his own freestyle. Mad respect
I've been watching this regularly since about 2011
even when i sinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg woahhhh woaaahhhhhhhh even when i sinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg woahhhh woaaahhhhhhhh
Lol
Lmao
Now 12 years later this is still one of my favorite freestyles. Hot damn 🔥
3:28 he even freestyled in Chinese
Been here 2009
This comment is underrated
I've watched this so many times and never noticed that...
wat?
What did he say?? I don’t want to guess and sound like a fucking piece of dog shit
Best freestyle of all time
NickEdsonBasketball its not even off the top
Omaragorn It's one of the only true freestyles someone has spit on his show.
lol still not off the top
+Omaragorn I'm sure you're saying its not off the top bc he's doing good, but he even uses the things happening around him and uses it so it is
+NickEdsonBasketball This is mediocre at best compared to hopsin, logic, royce da 5'9, J cole, and Eminem
Exactly 10 years to the day and I am still watching this legendary freestyle! Big up Kid Cudi!!
Out of all rappers he has one of the most cool-headed and chill looks
2024 kid cudi still forever sickest freestyle, 1 of 1 if you dont get it you never will 💯🔥🔥
This freestyle is so under appreciated. I love listening to this every couple of weeks
I always come back to this throughout the years. Best free style I ever heard
almost 7 years later... STILL THE BEST.... pure fire, CUDDER
What bout now, 8 years later after 7 years later?
The way he flows "cloud" with "down" just blows my mind like
I like the fact that he smiles when he freestyles.... Even Cudder knows he killed it!
This is musical talent, he was born to be a musician very FEW rappers that can feel the beat and spit off the dome, sure some of his lines are memorized verses of life, but nothing is written and nothing is planned here, just feel the beat and spit. Only one on Tim Westwood to actually kill a real FREESTYLE, boy started singing, FIRE.
13 years and still nothing better than this ❤

Does anyone know who the guy in the background is? I mean, what´s his story? What´s his job?
Cudi's old bodyguard
+EZMONEE deaf bodyguard
+Axel roberts (KYH Metronome) 😂😂
mind your own business, go and eat some boiled eggs mate!
XD
This man is the GOAT no matter what. He created 2 different sub-genres of rap and is too unique. He also killed that mic. ❤️🐐❤️
Now that's how you freestyle … and those were difficult beats to freestyle on.
one of the only rappers that TRULY freestyles. i miss these days 😭 man on the moon kid cudi
Absolute one of top 5 freestyles i ever heard
His hair is God level
Ur profile pic has hair
Lmao
2018 and I’m still watching. One of off the top freestyles for the books.
Damn this brings back memories. I was in high school when this came out and I remember me and my homies would emulate the flow
Versatility through the roof, this freestyle will go down in history
damn he flows
This is one of those rare off the dome raps. All of this was off the dome you can tell.
10 years later and this still one of the best.
Love it, his very personal style comes thru, not reminding me of anyone else
You pretty much know this is a real freestyle when the lights dim and a second later says "dim them lights get it in pimp tight"
or when he says "let the bass kick in" when the bass kicked in lol
What beat is that
one of the best freestyles out there 12 years later
ok but seriously how many of you actually know a freestyle by heart and is stuck in your head all day? this is fire, been listening to it for over 8 years now.
Who else is here after Man on the Moon III being released? 🔥🔥🔥 The man was fire in 2009 and he's still fire in 2020
2018 and this is still always on my recent history list. Miss him 💕
Dang didn't know Cudi could freestyle.
MOTM3 WHERE U AT HOMIE
SeverusHD check out the freestyle he did on dj enuff show
+severus 12/4/15
TLfreak10 what dos that mea
thats when his album comes out, silly
TLfreak10 proof
Impressive. I downloaded this to my iPod back in the day
Never realized how garbage these beats were. Cudi was like I'll kill it anyway. Lol.
Wu Kong im having cramps in my stomach , lol , hhaa
DJ Future Screwed it cost me $300 on amazon
DJ Future Screwed ...the fuck?
DJ Future Screwed Bi polar?
DIgITal dANCIg hEY tHIS iSSS fuN
Why does everyone hate on the guy in the back? lol all he did was stand there?
nobodys hating. Its just funny looking at his non-chalant expression when Cudi is ripping the beat apart.
He looks pissed.
Creepily
Facts
Hes fucking weird
Miss this Cudi, he was dope. I still am a fan and have been since A Kid Named Cudi and mess with the new tracks, but I would kill for him to flow like he did on MOTM 1 and 2.
grew up to this shit. Some of the greatest music I've ever heard. I would do ANYTHING to hear this sorta stuff again.
Salmaan Javed Agreed
The reason he his music has changed so much is because he wants to be a producer way before he became a rapper, if you notice half his songs in satellite flight didn't have any words, I'm pretty sure they were his beats. But MOTM3 will be much different and will be the cudi everyone loves. But to me everything cudi does is dope! Keep it up Moon Man ✌
Damn I remember watching this freshman/sophomore year of high school. Love coming back to watching 🔥🔥🔥 Dim them lights 😎
No fr! Junior/senior year for me. I always come back to this classic. Time flies 💯
this dude killed it, such a talent
miss this cudi
for a freestyle not rehearsed kudi did his thing. whats the second beat at 2:01
whos real-swizz beats jadakiss
crunk4124 hottest in the hood- red cafe

When he said RIP at 3:22 I was like “whos he bouta pay respect to” just for him to say “babygirl poonan”
This comment is still hilarious lmfaoooo
Listen people, his freestyle was 100 percent pure, from the top of his head type type shit, now you wanna talk shit, try freestylin just so you can find out for yourself how hard it is, and beside he cAme clean, other rappers like drake or wiz, ill wayne, tyga, are afraid to freestyle cuz it might just reveal how bad they truly suck if they're a rapper but yet can't freestyle, they'll just be spitting verses they already know. !KA-POW! So props to kid cudi
One of the Hottest freestyles.. Hands Down
Ill never get over this freestlye. Been the best for yearrrrs. Hes so under rated. There will always be a special place in my heart for kid cudi
LMAO they dimmed the lights hoping that the guy in the back's disinterest wouldn't show through
LMAO good catch
Lmao ur so correct
Jon-Andre Facey BUT HES SMILING THO
But it's more like a smug "the hell is he doing" kind of smile lol
That was Kid Cudi's bodyguard.
"Yeah i was just warming up "
Guy in back at 1:55 is like "are you serious"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In a good way, he was like “damn this dude threw down a whole track as a freestyle”
2017 and this shit still crank. This was legendary
Im From Saudi Arabia and I have been listening to this freestyle everyday since my American friend played it once. Love it💯
I actually memoized it all lol
Can't believe I watched this ten years ago man. I feel old lol
he went in doe this was a free style like a real one
Still legendary to this year 2021
Classic
