Artistry

Musical style

Kid Cudi's musical style has been described as 'an atmospheric take on melodic rap, with a dollop of charming, off-key singing'.^[13] He has also been called 'introspective, with the ability to lay his insecurities on record and expose his fallibility.'^[196] In 2015, Kris Ex of Billboard, wrote 'he's always been an emotional artist, dealing with expansive and nebulous feelings in acute and often destructive ways.'^[197] Kid Cudi's sound is what inspired and led Kanye West to create his cathartic 808s & Heartbreak (2008),^[198] with West later stating that he and Cudi were 'the originators of the style, kinda like what Alexander McQueen is to fashion…. Everything else is just Zara and H&M.'^[23][199] West also complimented Cudi by saying, 'His writing is just so pure and natural and important.'^[200] In March 2014, Cudi talked about wanting to provide guidance for young listeners with his music: 'my mission statement since day one […] all I wanted to do was help kids not feel alone, and stop committing suicide.'^[201]

In a 2013 article for The BoomBox, the author wrote: 'On [A Kid Named Cudi], Cudi raps and croons over samples and interpolations of Gnarls Barkley, Paul Simon, Band of Horses, J Dilla, Nosaj Thing, N.E.R.D. and Outkast. He melded indie rock, electronica and dubstep seamlessly with hip-hop without pandering or reaching. Before Drake broke through with 2009’s So Far Gone, rapping and singing over Swedish indie poppers Lykke Li and Peter Bjorn and John, Cudi tweaked with multi-genre covers and seamless transitions between singing and rapping.'^[202] In a 2009 interview with HipHopDX, when speaking on his debut album Cudi stated: 'Well one thing I wanted to do was combine sounds that really bring out intense moods.'^[199]

Kid Cudi's music has also been described as trip hop.^{[203][204][205]} Furthermore, he is known for harmonizing and humming in his music, which helps formulate his signature sound.^{[206][207][208]} On 2011's WZRD and 2015's Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, Cudi incorporated the use of screamed vocals,^[209][210] and can be heard yodeling on his 2016 album Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'.^[211][212] Throughout the years he has also incorporated elements of psychedelia, R&B, electronica, synthpop and grunge, in his music.^[213][214]

Influences

Kid Cudi's earliest influences include alternative hip hop groups such as The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.^{[17][215][216]} Cudi also cites rappers such as The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Kid 'n Play, N.W.A., Naughty By Nature, Onyx and Public Enemy, as his hip hop influences while growing up.^[214] Cudi has also credited fellow Ohio native Camu Tao, as an influence.^{[217][218][219][220][221]} He has also been inspired by the sounds of The O'Jays, Ratatat, MGMT and The Postal Service.^{[215][222][223]} In 2010, he began experimenting with rock music; rock acts that inspired Cudi include the Electric Light Orchestra, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, the Pixies and Pink Floyd.^[80][224]

Modeling

In January 2015, Coach, Inc. announced Kid Cudi as the new face of their brand, along with actress Chloë Grace Moretz, to front its Spring campaign.^[234][235]

Personal life

In a January 2013 interview, Cudi revealed that he had stopped smoking marijuana two years earlier, both for the sake of his child and due to frustration with constantly being associated with the drug and stoner culture. In that same interview, Cudi said that while he believes in God, he considers himself spiritual but not religious.^[236]

In a March 2013 interview, Kid Cudi talked about how his initial sudden and unexpected fame drove him to alcohol and drugs:

'For me, I just got to this point, and especially up until recently, I gave up liquor, I don’t drink anymore, it’s been five and a half months I’ve been sober. The booze was a new thing for me, I didn’t realize I was an alcoholic all these years. I had a problem, I think with any addiction you have to be ready to make the choice, whether it’s cigarettes or anything. You have to just commit and you just have to stick with it. I stopped everything cold turkey. When I had my cocaine problem I stopped cold turkey, I didn’t go to rehab. I don’t believe in these things. Some people need the extra help, not me. I wasn’t a drug addict before this crap, I wasn’t doing cocaine, I wasn’t getting wasted every night because I didn’t want to be alone. I wasn’t this dark person before the madness, I was a whole other dude. I don’t even think I smoked weed as much ‘cause we couldn’t afford it.. You just have to make the choice and decide the person you wanna be and stick with it. You get to a certain age where the people around you are not gonna be on that rollercoaster all day long ready for you to go up, ready for you to go down, and stick with you through all the madness. People want you to be one person and stick with it and I chose to be clean and be sober and get my life together. For myself, for my health, for my daughter, for my family.'^[237][238]

In a 2013 interview, Cudi revealed he had suffered an addiction to anti-depressant medication, which had been prescribed to help him deal with an 'emotional breakdown' following a failed relationship.^[239][240] In a 2014 interview, Cudi spoke on his struggles with depression and suicide throughout the years: 'I’ve dealt with suicide for the past five years. There wasn’t a week or a day that didn’t go by where I was just like, ‘You know, I wanna check out.’ I know what that feels like, I know it comes from loneliness, I know it comes from not having self-worth, not loving yourself.'^[241][242]

In October 2016, Cudi revealed on his Facebook page that he had checked himself into rehabilitation for depression and suicidal urges.^[243]

Family

On March 26, 2010, Cudi's daughter, Vada Wamwene Mescudi, was born.^[244][245] Throughout 2012, Cudi was in a quiet custody battle over his daughter. Reports surfaced that Cudi gave up custody after his child's mother accused him of being an absentee father, as well as having violent tendencies and a 'long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse.' These claims were disputed by Cudi and his attorney in a statement, which noted: 'Cudi did not give up custody but reached an amicable agreement with the mother; that 'both parents are fit and proper persons to have custody of their child,' as stated in the final custody judgment; results came back negative for drugs in a drug test voluntarily taken by Cudi; and that the court acknowledged Cudi attempted to establish a relationship and visit his child since her birth and 'voluntarily provided financial support, including child support, rent and other monthly payments, for his daughter since her birth until the time that a child support order was entered as part of the normal course of the case.' Details of the official custody agreement remain private.^[246] Cudi has since purchased a property in Chicago to be close to his daughter.^[247]

Philanthropy

On April 8, 2014, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services announced that it would recognize mental health advocates Kid Cudi, Ronda Rousey and Natasha Tracy, during its annual Erasing the Stigma Leadership Awards on April 24, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Committed to helping depressed and suicidal youth through the power of music, Cudi joined Didi Hirsch’s Erasing the Stigma Efforts as a Mental Health Ambassador.^[248][249]

On February 7, 2015, Kid Cudi partnered with TED to give a TED Talk at his former high school Shaker Heights, to help inspire the students with his story, for the school's independently organized 'TEDxSHHS' conference.^[250][251]

Kid Cudi has also been a volunteer for Musicians on Call (MOC), a charity with the mission of bringing live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities.^[252] In December 2015, Cudi arranged a dance party for the teenage participants of the Children’s Hospital At Montefiore's (CHAM) B-N-Fit program, in the Bronx. Kid Cudi also hosted a group of young patients and their families from CHAM, at his sold-out Roseland Ballroom shows in April 2016.^[252]

In June 2016, 49 celebrities, including Kid Cudi, honored the 49 victims killed in the Orlando shooting in a video tribute.^[253]

Relationships

In 2009, Cudi began dating entertainment attorney^[254] Jamie Baratta. They were in an on-again, off-again relationship, and were a prominent couple in the music industry.^[255][256] They ultimately broke up in 2012, but not before Cudi dedicated a song to her titled 'Teleport 2 Me, Jamie', which he recorded as a member of the alternative rock duo, WZRD.^[257]

Legacy

Cudi’s cultural impact reverberates through the vulnerable lyrical exploration of his mental health battles that defined his catalog and inspired Travis Scott to deem him “one of the realest rappers alive.” In a genre where the term “real” is so often reserved for hypermasculine, seemingly bulletproof depictions of Black manhood, Cudi has subverted those norms and epitomized the term through ever-relatable reflections of his existential frailties.^[258]IBTimes writer Alex Garofaro states 'Since the beginning of Cudi's career, his music has been extremely influential. His unique blend of dark, introspective lyrics, melancholy melody, psychedelic instrumentation and stoner cool made him a crossover sensation with rap, R&B and indie music fans alike.' Luke Hinz of HotNewHipHop said 'Cudi has inspired a generation of young artists to be unafraid to explore a wide array of emotions, and many have sought to adapt elements of Cudi’s music into their own. Never caring to fit into the conventional boundaries of music, Cudi became a voice for those who felt unrepresented and alone.'^[259]Revolt writer Preezy Brown noted 'His knack for displaying vulnerability and addressing bouts with mental health has made him an inspiration for a long list of artists including Juice WRLD, Logic, Lil Yachty, and other leaders of the new school.'

Uproxx stated 'Compared to modern icons like Drake, West, and Wayne, Cudi doesn’t have a boatload of sales, or a room full of accolades, but his weighty impact is reflected in adulation from the people, which is the intangible, everlasting achievement that most artists live for. He’s one of the first artists to be unabashed about his depressive ruminations and did so in a melodically intriguing manner that progressed alternative rock aesthetics into the hip-hop world one cadence at a time.

In a 2010 interview with Billboard, Kanye West called Cudi his 'personal favorite artist in the world right now. His whole take on the game is just unfiltered, uncensored artistry.'^[283] In a 2015 article titled 'KiD CuDi - A Forgotten Influence on Psychedelic Introspection in Hip-Hop', the author wrote 'Cudi helped bring about a new era of electronic, psychedelic driven production. And his dark, drug-riddled approach to introspection has already taken hold in the up-and-comers in the hip-hop world.'^[284]

In 2016, Kanye West called Cudi 'the most influential artist of the past 10 years'.^[285][286]West Coast hip hop duo Audio Push also praised Cudi in 2016, saying 'The thing I love about Cudi is he's unapologetically real. He birthed so much of, not even the new generation of artists, but a lot of [your] favorite artists wouldn't be [your] favorite artists if it wasn't for Cudi.'^[287] In November 2016, Atlanta-based rapper OG Maco, who has cited Cudi as a major influence on several occasions,^[273] released an EP titled For Scott, as a tribute to Kid Cudi. In October 2018, Pharrell Williams talked about Cudi in a interview with Complex, he said 'He's so inspiring, and I'm only as good as my collaborations anyway. I love the stuff that we did. Love, love. I like music that I want to go to later, you know? A year from now I wanna play it. Or like three months from now I want to play it. You know, we're on an island somewhere, I wanna play it. Like, I'm that guy. So to me, Cudi is a GOAT. His melodies and his concepts—he's a timeless alien.'^[288]
