♥ ♥ ♥Right now, I'm gonna talk about my favoritest guy right now, and his new album, coming out in LESS THAN ONE WEEK! :D
Scott Mescudi, one of the greatest artists out right now (in my opinion at least) will be releasing his album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager on November 9, 2010, and, if someone didn't offer to get me the CD, I would have been first in line at Target or Walmart to pick that up, y'dig.
Now let's talk about this here album. This here album has already been leaked to the world. [whoops] Whoever is responsible for that has, number one, ruined the element of surprise for people that want to get the album and wanted to wait to own the album before hearing it in its entirety. However, they are doing a little bit of promo by letting the album slip. I've gotta be completely honest, I went and listened to as much as the album as I would allow myself to listen to, and, I gotta say, some of the tracks I heard made me want the album even more than I already did. Didn't think it was possible. But I feel like a crack fiend. I gotta have that shit! But seriously, it's a very well crafted album and I can't wait to have it in my possession.
Now, a lot of people are fretting about the leaks. Cudi himself said that he was cool with the leaks, and that, if it was up to him, he would give his tracks away for free. He says he doesn't make much money off of record sales anyway, and that he gets most of his money from doing shows. So why are people tripping more than he is himself? Calm yourselves, children. I feel as if we are true Cudi fans [which, the world knows good and well, that I am :)] we'd support him and go out and buy the album anyway, regardless of the leaks.
I actually saw a comment on one of the songs that made its way to youtube, and the person that made the comment said that they felt that his real fans wouldn't buy the album because he said he would give the music away for free if he could. I thought that was the dumbest thing I ever heard. Let's be real...he gets SOME money from record sales. Probably not a whole lot, but he gets something, the producers get something, everyone that made the album possible gets something for that. They didn't work for nothing. So, whether he wants to share his gift with the world for free or not, I feel as if true fans would go out and buy that shit anyway, to show just how much we support what he does.
I'm not saying that if you don't get the album, you're not a true fan. True fan-ness is subjective. I just feel as if it doesn't make you any less of a fan for going to buy something Cudi says he wants to give out for free.
I guess that's all. Enjoy this other track I dug up. Click the hearts by the pic at the top of this post. [P.S. Check my last post for another song, GHOST! which I have dubbed my personal fave from the album:) Skip the dramatics, and go straight to the bottom of that post.]
