KiD CuDi performing “Day N’ Nite” at the 10.Deep Party
I’m convinced that LC is like Della Reese from Touched By An Angel, flying around blessing us with her great taste in music when we really need it. A couple of weeks ago, she hit Contra off with a Shawn Jackson video that helped restore his faith in our music. About a week ago, she sent me this “Day N’ Nite” song from Kid Cudi.
When they make a movie of my life, “Day N’ Nite” will be the song that accompanies the montage that shows me (played by Jeffrey Wright) tossing and turning in my bed, facing pre-grad school transitional anxiety, insomnia and a break up (actress played by Robin Givens of course).
Cudi’s deadpan delivery is the perfect way to display his angst. It’s matter of fact and just as depressing as someone screaming at the top of their lungs. His monotone, calm repetition of the final words of each line is so brilliantly anti-pop that it is reflective of the way the speaker positions himself outside of society. Cudi captures those all too elusive ideas of loss, angst and loneliness that great song writing is built on. It’s amazing to think that he’s relatively new to this music shit.
Bonus — New CuDi track…
Bonus Bonus clip of CuDi & Chip Tha Ripper live on The Sam Sylk Show.

My theme song.
Nice read, Dub D.
I <3 this song.
And just so we’re clear, dude just called me Della Reese.
^ LOL! He coulda compared you to a bloodhound, but I don’t think that would’ve went over too well lol.
I mean what idiot would think that’s a complim….oh.
=)
LC, you’re the sexiest Della Reese I’ve ever seen…

DEVASTATING !!
^ it’s no surprise to me. The Affiliates movement ain’t really movin’ like that & Cannon is too talented to be bogged down. I wish dude the best of luck.
Would it be more a compliment if you Della Reese from Harlem Nights…? That’s my favorite Della Reese…”Oh now you wanna hit people wit garbage cans”.
^ Agreed…
I always considered Da Cannonz a better producer than drama, but drama business tactics and ability to be in the spotlight was the perfect match…

@AMP – That was crazy but not as hyped as I thought!!!!! Prince was like……”aight Ill come out and do a little bit! Owwwwwah! “
LC, for real, it hurts me to do this but…
If history has taught us anything, it’s that the Detroit Lions will probably have a top-5 or top-10 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft after another terrible season.
On the bright side, they can right a wrong of the past in failing to supply Barry Sanders with a quality team around him by drafting his son, Barry Sanders Jr.
He’s a high school freshman, check this clip of the 64 yard td run from a recent football state playoff game in Oklahoma.
At the very least, he has genetics on his side LOL

My favorite mixtapes of 2008:
1) B.o.B – Hi! My Name is Bob
2) Kid Cudi – a Kid Named CuDi
3) Wale – Mixtape About Nothing
if you are going to compare a woman to a character from harlem nights; let it be Sunshine.
she hit Contra off (No Hetro!!)
