Best Verse, Week 103 - Kid Cudi

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 02:23 PM PDT

The man on the moon is this week's best verse!

Background: Kid Cudi is an American recording artist and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. Cudi first gained major recognition following the release of his first official full-length project, a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi (2008). The mixtape caught the attention of American rapper-producer Kanye West, who subsequently signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label imprint in late 2008. Cudi has since gone on to launch his own record label imprints, the now-dissolved Dream On and current independent label, Wicked Awesome Records. Initially a rapper, Cudi has since added singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, music video director and film composer to his repertoire.

As of 2017, Cudi has released six studio albums as a solo artist. In 2008, his debut single "Day 'n' Nite", led him to prominence, reaching the top five of the Billboard charts. Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2010, he released Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, which was preceded by "Erase Me" and "Mr. Rager". Later in 2010, Cudi formed a rock band, now known as WZRD, with his long-time collaborator Dot da Genius, releasing one eponymous debut album, in early 2012. The album debuted at number one on the Top Rock Albums chart. In April 2013, Cudi released Indicud, which became his highest-charting album on multiple charts. In February 2014, Cudi unexpectedly released his fourth album, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, exclusively to digital retailers with no promotion.

Kid Cudi has sold over 5.2 million digital singles and has worked with numerous prominent artists in the music industry, including Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, David Guetta, MGMT, Shakira, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bolton, among others. With his originality and creativity, as well as the emotion he conveys in his music, Cudi has amassed a large cult-like following among high school students, college students and stoners alike. In 2010, Cudi ventured into acting when he began starring in the HBO series How to Make It in America. Cudi has since appeared in several feature films, including Goodbye World, Need for Speed and Entourage. In addition, he has made appearances on television shows such as One Tree Hill, The Cleveland Show and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In 2015, he was the bandleader on the IFC series, Comedy Bang! Bang!.

Now is the time to nominate albums for /r/Music_Survivor's Hip Hop March Madness!

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 11:37 AM PDT

Hey everyone! Over at /r/Music_Survivor we are itching to get some March Madness going. You might've heard about ESPN's March Madness Hip Hop Bracket, or the indiehead's 2001-2016 bracket they've had going on.

We decided that since ESPN's sucks, we're going to hold our own! Here's how we're thinking of it working:

What bracket size would you like to see: 64? 128? 256?
Regions: 4 regions, something like West, East, Midwest, and South, to ensure that different types of Hip Hop get included (ESPN's was severely lacking in Southern Hip Hop). Additionally, we could do a "first four" of international brackets (mostly UK stuff I'd imagine)
Seeding: this will be hard to do, but probably done manually by a few mods or based off of a 3rd party's site rating for that album. I don't want to have the community doing the seeding because then upsets would be very unlikely--far less exciting!
Voting: We'll do each group separately and work through the rounds like the NCAA tourney does it. Probably a couple days for each round.
