Kid Cudi

Re: Kid Cudi

The biggest difference is that there is some good coke rap.

As of now, there is no good bro rap. When bro rap gets an Illmatic or Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, then my perspective on bro rap might change. However, right now, all they have representing it is a white, less humorous Tony Yayo.

Fair enough.

I won't ever try to defend Roth's skills... I really don't know that much about evaluating actual talent, so I'll leave that to the guys that actually know.

I just think his lyrics are a breath of fresh air. And if you listen to Asleep in the Bread Aisle, it's not all frat boy college stuff. Don't get me wrong, that's certainly his niche (and he willingly admits it in his song "Cannon"), but he's got some other stuff on there.

I just like that he's having fun with it. I like his "vibe." And, yes, I'm a white college boy from Pennsylvania... Not a frat boy, but I like to party... so he's clearly aiming at me.

Re: Kid Cudi

That's basically my point about Asher.

He's obviously just having fun rapping about the things he knows. It's nice to see an artist that doesn't have to rap about the typical stuff.

That being said, I don't think he can rap very well. I liked his flow in "Lark In My Go Kart" but I also feel like it took him days upon days to even write that stuff.
