- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2019
- Kid Cudi’s 2009 debut album, 'Man on the Moon: End of the Day,' influenced an entire generation of artists. Centered around his breakthrough hit, “Day ‘N’ Nite,” the project put the Ohio rapper in the spotlight following his debut mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, and work on Kanye West’s '808s & Heartbreak.' Cudi deliberately chose not to have Kanye too involved in 'Man on the Moon,' and instead established his sound by working with a small group of producers including Emile Haynie, Jeff Bhasker, Plain Pat, and Ratatat. On the album, he tells the story of a dream over five acts to introduce his persona to the world, establishing him as a beacon of hope for generations to come.

Pitchfork gave all Radiohead albums rave reviews. One of their reviews was written like a porn script on acid
I bet they regret that one
High school was a time of just feeling lost and daily crippling anxiety for me. Kid Cudi's music accompanied me for the whole ride, and I am forever indebted to him for making me feel like I was never alone.
Same here 💔
How do you feel now?
@@nomady4023Well bro, I definitely still have a lot of self-work to do, but I can honestly say that I've come a loooooong way since high school. I actually face my fears and go for what I want now.

i love this album my grandad had passed and that album kept me out of sinking into a massive depression
hey, jacques here. this album helped me get through the passing of my father a year prior. i felt like i was in a dark cloud for much of 2009 and this was one of the things (besides my family and friends of course) that really helped me make it out alive.
Same here brother🙏 grandad and aunt passed and herbs and Cudi helped me so much. He a legend💜
Much peace and love yo!
rip to him bro i’m sorry about that

Bro I wish cudi knew how many lives he’s saved
He probably never will know. Nobody probably ever will know but I know he’s saved a damn good amount. Into the millions easy. He saved my life multiple times. & I had no reason to feel the way that I did. I had a lot of friends & kept busy with sports but I still doubted myself at times. But I knew I wasn’t alone and that I could get through it with Scott’s music.

Kanye West, Kid Cudi & Frank Ocean are my favourite artists. Something about their music just comforts me.
When this album dropped I was 16 and my mom just kicked me out, I was jumping form house to house. It helped me through so much

@@urioberlander7022 that just tells how good both of them are
Cudi was the older brother I never had. Dude got me through my darkest times when I was 16 and now I’m 27 and I still go back to MOTM 1&2 and he’s still helping me get through it. I appreciate everything he’s done for me.
The media doesnt like to admit it but kid cudi is one of the most important figures in music history and nobody talks about it
All the people who disliked this can "gargle on my mayo"
Real ones get the reference
Lol
Ay chipotle mayo count me in;)
Solo dolo
No sail.... ahoy
Who still jams “Pursuit of happiness”??🙋🏻♂️
Every morning
Who doesn't is the real question
'TIL THIS DAY! 'TIL THIS DAY!!
Ok it’s not just me , is it just me in 2020 🤷🏻♀️still here like …
Hopefully everyone
Who’s here after MOTM 3 was announced
whos here after MOTM 3 came out?
This album got me through so many tough times in my teenage years.
glad to see all the respect for Cudi at Genius. He's my favorite artists and means so much to me and so many others. Big respect
Kurt F definitely. He was my new favourite artist back in 09 and he kept making hits after hits to the point I had to realize dayum he’s fire and I stick With him ever since then
I wish kid cudi would still make them 2010 era bangerz
It's not exactly the same but kids see ghosts is really good
G speezy bruh kid see ghosts is like better than 2010s imo and I love them both
Leader of the Delinquents.
well MOTM 3 is about to come out soon!
Now you got it.
When cudi said “I have these issues that nobody can see and nobody can the emotions pouring out of me”
I felt tha
16 tbh, but Matt that is the most common age in today’s world for cases of depression and suicidal thoughts.
@@d.khisty880 exactly, high school should have mental health classes just like they have for physical health. It's just as important especially at that age
@@MacMM facts bro
Lowkey more influential than 808s
SMBHD nah
Repeat Flex Offender blind Kanye man this album is top 5
808s and motm are both amazing memories from my past. I couldn’t put one over the other
If it wasn't for Cudi there would be no 808s so yeah
I'm pretty sure kid cudi wrote most of the lyrics for that album
When Cudi said MMMMMHMMHMMMMMMHMMHMMM.
I felt that.
Michael Reid make em go dumb with them hums
I HEARD THAT COMMENT
Yeah you copied that comment for sure read that somewhere else
Who doesn't feel that.
Michael Reid we all felt that
When Cudi says “I am your big brother” I really believe him.
This album saved my life. All jokes aside, if it were not for this album I wouldn't be alive right now. Cudi will always hold a special place in my heart for helping me to get through the most difficult time in my life
Preach brother keep pushing on and stay blessed 🙏
Hearing Day N Nite for the first time was one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me and I think him for making such an amazing Album that many could relate to
adrian I relate 100%!!!
He had me at Pink Floyd and Electric light orchestra. I love him so much
Fuck man. He's made me like him even more now, somehow.
Kanye & Cudi made me fall in love with music (808 & heartbreak had a big impact on my life). I was a freshman in college in a small poor country in Africa, away from my family with no friends, and obviously got bullied and all. But I held on strong. Ye has earned the GOAT status no matter what. He's just ahead of everyone else. And obviously, Cudi has been solid rock ever since. An absolute definition of Change.10 years later Kids See Ghosts is also changing people. They have transformed not only music/art but also generations of people. Thank you guys. Hands down the best duo.
Funny thing is that I’m a part of the generation he saved, but I didn’t need him until a year and a half ago! I listened when I was younger but just casually. I had a major depressive episode a couple of years ago and Cudi definitely helped keep me from drowning.
Crush a bit, little bit
Roll it up, take a hit
Feeling lit, feeling right
Two AM, summer night, I don't care
Hand on the wheel
Driving drunk I'm doing my thang
Rolling in the midwest side now
Living my life, getting our dreams
People told me slow my roll
I'm screaming out fuck that
I'm a do just what I want
Looking ahead no turning back
If I fall if I die
Know I lived it to the fullest
If I fall if I die
Know I lived and missed some bullets
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that's shine ain't always gonna be gold
Niardak _ fav song
Best lyrics of all time
Niardak _ that last line when he says “I’ll be fine, once I get it.. I’ll be goo-oood” then the electric guitar comes in is iconic
summer 2010 (after 8th grade) my brother and I would roll red wine game dutches like 2 AM in our yard and listen to this song like those times were going to last forever
You guys need to give Ratatat a try if you haven’t already. Pursuit of Happiness and Cherry by Ratatat is yin and yang to me.
Like seeing kid cudi content, always brings a smile when I hear people rocking with cudi!
Yes!! I was so happy when I saw this pop up and the recent interview he did with complex
@@CheeksOfButt honest the kid cudi community is the best, he's awesome
I love you guys for making this video, I listen to Kid Cudi almost every day I wish him even bigger success. ❤️From the kids who identify with him 🔥😎
the humble shall inherit the kingdom of heaven
One of my favorite album. My twin sis passed away in 2010 and Man on the Moon was all I had.
Aw hell... I’m sorry. Life finds the way to hit us in the weakest spot.
I hope you are doing good jay
i'm so sorry
yo wtf I was just bumping this album an hour ago
I bump it everyday lol

Kid Cudi in opinion started "emo rap", not any of these new people
Nestor M 💯
No he didn't
Philipp Fomin who do you think started it then?
AlexHulett peep for sure
@@vincegtv6399 Lil Peep is definitely a figurehead of the emo rap *revival* of the late 2010s. This video is talking about an artist who inspired him and other rappers like him to revive it.
this album kept me from ending it all in high school.
MR RAGER TELL ME WHERE YOURE GOING TELL US WHERE YOURE HEADED
Grimace But a good song by cudi
Im off on an adventure
Best song of all time on god
Jake Croce best song ever, Swim in the Light no2
Uri Oberlander mr rager or love. are the best ones
I still can't believe this came out on my 8th birthday. I turn 18 on the 15th and this album was the birthday gift I never knew I needed. Thank you Cudi.
talktozay same I turn 17 on the 15th. It's the best thing about the date for sure.
talktozay I was 15ish when this album came out. It was exactly what I needed to hear during those times. I’m glad y’all younger generations get to experience it aswell. Btw stay off my lawn you goddamned teenagers
@@UnimpressedGoose You're not even a decade older than me then 🙄
talktozay still from a younger generation than me🤦♂️ growing up 10 years apart makes a big difference. But way to miss the point of my post. Fuckin dumbass
Mr. CU NT I was 14 when i first listened to the album back in 2016 summer. i never gave new rap a chance but motm was just an album that popped up on my youtube cause i loved day n nite. i listened to the whole album and now i’m a huge hip hop fan who just enjoys all types of music. he really broadened my view.
Smoked two blunts n bumped the whole album yesterday. This album we forever be a classic will forever be on my top 3 thank you cudi I’m going through and you’re saving me
This album literally helped shape the person I am. I wouldn’t be the same person without Cudi, he helped me through so much. Music is so powerful and moving
I got a 10 minute break at work, I gladly spent 8 minutes of it watching this :) keep the cudi vids coming
“I be that man on the moon and I’m a do what I do so do you”
Without Cudi there is no Drake, Post Malone, Travis Scott and many many many others. He is the father of a whole genre.
For sure
fax
Everyone loves kid Cudi. You can't be that genuine and not have everyone appreciate it
Bro I’m glad cudi‘ getting more and more recognition
Listend to Cudi everyday in highschool and still do 10 years later . day n night came out 8th grade year ill never forget hearing it on the bus.
HE PAVED THE WAY FOR ALOT OF THESE OTHER ARTIST
I was a junior in high school when I first heard ‘Day n Nite’; going through some heavy heavy stuff, not knowing where to turn or who to believe, lost and afraid. I listened to the rest of the album throughout my college years, drinking and smoking and trying to forget about the harsh realities of life. Now, older and a bit wiser, I listen back and give thanks to an album that felt the same feelings I felt, that gave me a comfort and still gives me a comfort to this day.
Goosebumps all throughout watching this video
That transition between the intro and soundtrack 2 my life legendary
I had this album saved on my iPod Nano when I was in high school. Whenever I felt alone/friendless, Cudi was always there for me.
Kid Cudi saved my life, plain and simple, his music and his lyrics changed how I think and go about life each day, thank you Scott, truly thank you
Listening to this reminds me of my teenage years. He helped through a lot of hardship. The way this album was made was genius. I hope he will one day drop Man on the Moon III.
I love the fact that kid cudi is getting more recognition. Been a fan since I was 7 ❤️
This album played such a huge part of my life. When I was a senior in high school I struggled with doubt and anxiety and probably depression. I self medicated by smoking a lot of weed and I listened to this album ALOT. I couldn’t really describe my feelings and thoughts at the time. I was just too young and naive to look inward. Once I listened to the album it just put all those thoughts and feelings into words. I used to ignore those t&f because I thought I was alone. Knowing I wasn’t alone gave me peace and understanding of others. This album changed how I viewed the world at the time.
I go back and forth whether I think this was a positive time in my life. I can at least say that I’m confident that part of my life happened for a reason. Peace out y’all✌🏻
This album came out my first month of college. Was living in the dorms and felt a lot more homesick and out of place than I expected to feel. Nothing but love for this album and the memories it brings.
"heart of a lion" pulled me out of some dark ass places. Still play when I need to keep going. Thanks a million for that
Whats really insane is just how important he is in alot of our lives, but we just dont speak on it as much as we should. This man has done wonders for me, and that's not even exaggerating. If something happened to this soul, I would definitely shed tears.
Getting goosebumps just from the snippets from the sogs. Kudi was the biggest relief, coping and finally breakthrough my darkest days. Only love for the man.
All of my high school experience I had Kid Cudi playing, I still love him... he brings me back.
This brought back so many old memories.. i have to download "heart of a lion" and "kudi zone" again
It was hard for me to finish the video because I just wanted to put the album on already
I just recently started listening to Cudi last month, i know. There's many reasons why i never listened to him but every album has been helping me through hard times and i couldnt be more thankful of giving him a listen while i was high. He keeps your soul at peace. I hope everyone has a great day.
MoTM and MoTM2 legit saved me too. Never was suicidal but shit brought so much comfort, to know that the feels i had as a youngster were shared by someone I looked up to, man shit gave me strength.
Kid Cudi will always be my favorite artist.
😭😭😭🙏🥺🥺 he saved my life too. Can’t wait for the next tour
It was amazing that all of my friends, who favored many genres were hooked on Cudi during high school; pretty much brought people together who shared struggles or simply wanted to escape/vibe
Wow I was JUST listening to this album this morning then this comes out.
I was 17 , a senior in high school when this album came out an I still love it ,
'I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know, everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold. But I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.'
And Travis Scott didn't mention Cudi in the documentary 😓😭
D X that’s shit didn’t even feel like a documentary. Just a highlight reel with random interviews not in chronological order
@@chsstrr9577 fr bro that was a shit documentary
I was a freshman in high school when I heard the album. I first heard him on midnight club and was hooked to Day and Night on there. Had to look for more and I’m glad I did. Music helped through high school in many ways, therapeutic for the mind and peaked my artistic abilities in my illustrations.
pursuit of happiness definitely helped me when i was depressed and suicidal because although it talked about how you feel when you’re on drugs and i wasn’t doing that i took it literally and said one day i’ll be happier and everything will soon be okay
Honestly I’m excited to listen to this classic album again
Day n nite brings back so many memories 😭😭
That album saved my life. Without going into too many details if it wasn’t for Cudi I would have never stopped feeling so alone. It went from one other person (Cudi) might feel how I do , which was nice on its own to know I’m not alone, but it was a popular album so maybe a lot of other people are lost right now too. I didn’t realize it was almost my whole generation coping with these problems we just all had our own ways of dealing with it. I literally owe my life to Cudi
it’s amazing to know that this album can never be taken away from us. in my eyes it’s a masterpiece
This man is the reason rappers talk about mental health and depression so much
I always come back to Cudi. Always. Being a middle schooler when he really came on the scene was wild. Too young to really relate to the words in the songs but I knew that this guy made music I absolutely loved.
This album is something else, something that no one else will never manage to do in a generation... helped me through high school and life till this day
Kid cudi has and is still helping me see the light throughout the darkness I’m walking through
“The girl he wants don’t seem to want him it’s seems the feeling she hard are through.... through” -kid cudi
I still listen to day n night now
Im so glad they covered this because this song has a really special place to me while growing up and helped me in a really dark place i love kid cudi as an artist and i believe he has really underrated music
Its way deeper than just music man. He makes you feel so different.
I swear. It’s a different feeling listening to him
I'm homeless right now but certain Cudi songs like Down and Out and Man on the Moon keep my spirits high
lil memory card i hope many blessing come your way my friend
Keep your head up 😉
Times will get better.
^^^
This album was legendary!! I was out of high school only a year I think when it came out and I would listen to it when I was high and sober. He doesn't get he credit he deserves.
Love this album. Still rocking it in 2020
Kid Cudi was one of my first favorite rappers
