The 'lonely stoner' returns with his second album, The Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager. He sounds more solitary, self - centered, and darker than before. With beats from Emile Haynie, Plain Pat, and Dot Da Genius, the album is divided into five acts. It shows Kid Cudi's battles with fame, drugs, and himself. 'Scott Mescudi Vs. The World' kicks off the album, with the G.O.O.D. Music rapper boasting over a simple mid - tempo, strings - driven beat and Cee - Lo Green on the hook. In 'Revofev', Cudi offers his take on the world's problems through his trademark singing. Mary J. Blige sings on 'Don't Play This Song' as Kid Cudi opens up about the downsides of fame and money. 'Erase Me' featuring Kanye West is the album's pop moment. 'Wild'n Cuz I'm Young' brings back the 'deep downer' tone, which continues through songs like 'Mr. Rager' and 'The End'. Is it full of party cuts? Maybe not. Is it better than The End of Day? That's yet to be seen. But Kid Cudi has delivered another great non - formulaic release, explaining his strong fanbase. It's a double LP with a gatefold cover designed by Kid Cudi. Highly recommended. Music label: Universal Motown 2010.
To enjoy this Kid Cudi vinyl record, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, center it, and drop the needle on the lead - in groove. Listen at a volume that suits your preference. When you're done, carefully lift the needle and return it to its rest. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Keep the record in its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Don't touch the playing surface with your fingers to avoid leaving oils and dirt. If the record gets dirty, you can use a proper record cleaning brush to gently remove debris.
