William Eason Jimi Hendrix didn’t have the best voice but that wasn’t the point right? All I worry about when I hear someone sing is if I can really feel it. Doesn’t matter if they’re technically pristine.
Gotta love that smooth transition of drumsticks right there. Happens all the time to my drummer friends, though that kind of smooth isnt something you can practice.
that guitar solo from the guy in blue was amazing...i can't wait for cudi to get that good....im so happy he's learning....he put's lil wayne's stunt to shame
@imike182 He's learning how to play the guitar at the moment, he's starting a rap band. And he did play during the chorus so i dont know what your talking about.. That makes give even more respect to him.
I like Kid Cudi as well but I don't appreciate people bashing rap when they clearly don't have enough knowledge of the art form to critique it. Most rappers who are truly lyrical, with knowledge, with depth, with a vision bigger than most mainstream rap don't get radio play, don't go mainstream, they are either underground or underrated. The good ones that do make mainstream like Kid Cudi are still part of HipHop regardless of what you think of the genre. HipHop needs to be revived tis all
@aldrchase and i'm never going to doubt him again!!!! and the high notes aren't the only ones he can hit, he has a really cool and amazing voice!! KiD CuDi 4EvEr!
*Introduces him as a rapper*
*Plays a rock song*
The best of both worlds
Exactly. Lol
Closer to trap-rock i’d say, 808s hihats and claps
2010-2011 when cudi and lil wayne were makin rock songs it was a weird time
Cudi can do no wrong
The drummer is the unsung hero of this performance.
That drumstick replacement was sick.
Drummer tried to get a little to fancy but quickly went back to the 2 on the snare 4 on the floor beat.
I don't know why, but I love this song. It's got a bittersweet vibe to it.
It has that stereotypical highschool movie vibe to it but it unironically sounds good
You just said why you love it.
he's one of the few artists that sound the same live as they do on their cd's
Letterman's "whoa, man" at the end.... he was not expecting this brilliance. Still one of the best live performances I've ever seen
kid cudi one the few artist that can actually sing
+Son ⚡ Daniel him j cole and yelawolf
Plenty of people can sing better than this piece of shit

KiD- X he played-backed the chorus
William Eason your comment makes me sick
2020 cudi still the goat
2021 cudi still the goat
If u think he is the greatest of all time youre delusional
tommy lee with post malone and tyla is definitely competing with the best rock/rap duo
Too bad Kanye couldn't be there, but kudi is still one of the best (if you ask me)
best rapper or so I'd say
Neh. Happy Kanye's dumb ass wasnt there
Mic Leone yeah Kanye’s verse was always the worst part of this otherwise great track
Fuck Kanye
Y’all stupid as fuck disrespecting Kanye
This song is amazing live
One of my favourite performances, Kid Cudi is awesome and the bass line at the end gets me every time
I BET PPL WERE LIKE WTF BACK THEN NOW EVERYONE PRAZIE THIS SHIT
Word
That bass line at 3:13 OMG Mr. Blackstone!!!!!
I had to listen with headphones to hear it, sounds so good though!
Yeah Eminem's bass player
Wow he created a whole new genre with this performance
kid cudi = legend
This sounds like heaven live
KID CUDI IS BEST ON WORLD.ª!!1
KID CUDI PRO!!
Fastest 'Shit i just lost my drumstick' recovery i've ever seen
Gotta love that smooth transition of drumsticks right there. Happens all the time to my drummer friends, though that kind of smooth isnt something you can practice.
that guitar solo from the guy in blue was amazing...i can't wait for cudi to get that good....im so happy he's learning....he put's lil wayne's stunt to shame
This would be the best song to see live! Hope he does it again when concerts are reopened.
wow sounds better than the original serious
Danke Shlomo
Eigentlich garnicht meine Musik aber dank Ihm bin ich jetzt auch hier xD
i strive to live long enough to see cudi perform this live one day
I always liked Letterman’s musical guests. Years ago I was surprised to see the gaslight anthem on there, which was awesome
i love how kid cudi probably learned guitar last year and hes already up there jamming out
Lmfaooo his drumstick fell off his hand but he ain't worryin since he pulled out an extra one like it's all good InThe good 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:51 drummer tossed his drumstick right? LOL he looked like OH DAYUMM WHERE'S IT GONE LUL! GOT MAH SPARE RIGHT BESIDE ME
dope bassline towards the end

I love how Cudi is just using the guitar as a prop
Awesome performance!! and Ben O'neil the guitar player was awesome too!!
amazing. the only word to describe anything about this.
This is amazing. I'm glad he's starting to focus on his rock career now with Wizards if the stuff is going to keep soundin this good.
