  1. If you want to know further why this album is a classic you'll have to check it out yourself, but know for a fact it's well worth your fifteen dollars.
  2. Cudi turns out to be that rarest of rap phenomena: a hyped upstart who really does represent a promising new phase in the genre's evolution.
  3. The music is engrossing and Cudi's angst genuine, but his raps get pedestrian.

    This album is what hip hop should be about. He just talk about life and the struggles of it. More people should listen to this album. In my opinion it is one of the best hip hop albums of the decade. Hip Hop needs to veer away from gangster rap and there should be more rappers like Kid Cudi. Guys like Gucci Mane, Plies and Soulja Boy don't know how to rap or how to even write good lyrics. I could wrtie a better song. Expand

    For those of you out there that believe this is not just another mainstream album are sorely mistaken. This is pure, utter radio music that is meant for radio. If you think this music is deep you must not be listening to the correct tunes. All of you who rated this album with high esteem need to go to an Underground Hip Hop website and search all their artists. Listen to them one by one and you will find people who really deserve a major album release. Kid Cudi is as mainstream as it gets. He's Lil Wayne with different icing. Get a clue! Expand
