Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi (born January 30, 1984), better known by his stage name Kid Cudi (/ˈkʌdi/; often stylized as KiD CuDi), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, record producer and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. He has widely been recognized as an influence on several hip hop and alternative acts. Cudi's first full-length project, a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi (2008) caught the attention of American rapper-producer Kanye West, who signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label imprint in late 2008.
Released in 2008, Cudi's debut single "Day 'n' Nite" was a worldwide hit. His debut studio album Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2010, he released his second album Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, and formed the rock band WZRD with his long-time collaborator Dot da Genius. Their eponymous debut album (2012) debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart. Cudi has since released the solo albums Indicud (2013), Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon (2014), Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven (2015) and Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' (2016). Cudi's joint album with West, under the eponymous name Kids See Ghosts (2018), was met with widespread critical acclaim and was named among the best albums of 2018. In 2020, Cudi earned his first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 with "The Scotts", a collaboration with American rapper Travis Scott.
In March 2016, Kid Cudi performed at McDowell Mountain Music Festival in Phoenix, Arizona. In an early April 2016 interview with Billboard, when asked about Man on the Moon III, Cudi responded with: "I came up with Man on the Moon when I was a young man. People change their vibe! We can follow the same template and do the five-act split. Sonically, I’m still going to be where I’m at. Honestly, I was ready to live up to the obligation and do 'Man on the Moon III. I haven’t been dicking around. I was planning on doing it after Speedin' Bullet. But the Speedin’ Bullet response tore me up. It made me realize what’s most important. I’m getting back on the bike again and doing what I do best: me." On April 22, 2016, Kid Cudi announced he would be releasing a new studio album, slated for a summer unveiling.
Although there was a discrepancy between him and Kanye West, West later made an offer of peace and a song featuring him and Cudi subsequently surfaced online. Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ was announced to be issued first via digital distribution on December 16, 2016, with the physical release on December 23. Cudi has also shared the song "Baptized in Fire," which features Travis Scott (with whom Cudi collaborated extensively with on 2016's Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight). On March 1, 2017, Kid Cudi performed the song "Kitchen", with a string orchestra, live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
On August 15, 2017, Cudi announced a national concert tour by the name of Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' Tour; with the first date on September 30 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In 2018 Cudi and Kanye West formed a duo known as Kids See Ghosts, and produced an album with the same name, Kids See Ghosts, which was released on June 8, 2018.
On October 23, 2018, in response to a fan on Twitter, Cudi revealed he had begun working on his seventh solo album. Although he said he would be taking his time to create his forthcoming LP, Cudi projected a 2019 release. In July 2019, Kid Cudi announced his next album, Entergalactic, which will soundtrack an upcoming Netflix "adult-focused animated music series" co-created by himself and Kenya Barris.
On April 24, 2020, Cudi collaborated with Travis Scott under the name "The Scotts", to release a song under the same name, "The Scotts". It was hinted that the duo would be releasing more music in the future. The song debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first number-one hit.
Later on April 24, Cudi also revealed that he was still working on new music for a future WZRD release, joking that "we take a decade off between albums."

I'm donating this video's TH-cam ad revenue to charities that benefit black people. Not sure which one I should do yet, please send suggestions on Twitter or Insta. Big video on current events coming next week. I've been protesting. I've been in the street helping my community. Finally sitting down to use my platform for good, but I'm a member of my local community first. And by the way - if you're in Philly, reach out to me on social media and let's make something good happen together.
Good guy Philip
My bank details are....
🙌🏾❤️
mad respect to u man
Understanding lil wayne
Cudi: has long artistic career filled with great emotional music
Billboard: mmmmm hum boy make song with fortnite man
They can’t do Cudi like that 😭😂
this is one of the best comments i have ever seen
i want to defend both of them bc i love their music so much but i’m laughing so hard i just can’t 🤣
😭😭😭😭
I’m weakk😂😂😂😂
When we needed him the most, he actually came back
Relax bud he's not batman
He never left
@@thomasseddon5676 Wrong series, kid. Try again
He’s the chosen one, isn’t that how the stories go?
Sofie Lenning exactly
I wonder if kid cudi knows how many lives he has saved
He knows
Bruh
trust me he is aware
he saved mine tonight
@@sophiabakke9408 I hope you're doing well
This dudes voice is perfect for his videos wtf
facts
he looks like if Jack Harlow went to Harvard
DUDE I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!
He looks like Jason Nash's Son
My God this was hilarious
Jack Hallow
bro kid cudi is all i’ve been listening to for the past 5 weeks this video is perfect
Believe in the algorithm
Same dude, Ive been bumping cudi all quarantine long
I’m sitting here listening to Kid Cudi and get this notification
i thought about kid cudi the other day and i have never been a fan and i was thinking to myself..who is this kid cudi charachter? that i hear people like so much. two days later...this pops up on my feed...hmmmm
Johnathan Jacobs same. I’ve known who he is for quite some time and never really listened to his music. Now I’m gonna go back and listen to man on the moon and his other albums since when it came out I was legit 3 years old
@@h0ld0n_73 not gone lie Man on the moon was the first album I'd ever heard that sucked me in emotionally, and I was 25 when it released. Now finding out he lost his dad to cancer at 11 and I lost mine the same way at 13, makes me feel like he wrote it for me lol. Don't know your mood, but if you're going through some shit, that album is pure therapy. A certified #Classic
If cudi hums aren’t playing at my funeral I’m not going. Truly a goat
On God Hyyer better be played at the end of my funeral
Cudi and Ye’ really helped me get through high school. I’ve suffered with anxiety and bipolar depression since I was 11. I remember when I first heard Cudi’s Man On The Moon track and being brought to tears and when KSG dropped I listened to the whole album on repeat for a week. They’re truly my idols
there's no such thing as bipolar depression bryh

@UCpEx_MOnByF064Lp_N9sxOw yes there is bro if you have bipolar disorder you go through long lasting moods that make you feel either happy,confident,hyper and sometimes godlike or like a piece of shit
lmao saw that it was cudi and i had to click with a quickness
With a quickness
I guess Satellite Flight don't exist...
Too bad I have to destroy you is one of my favorite cudi songs. And the version with kanye in it is even better
Dora's Daddy big facts the version on TurboGrafx16 is incredible, it’s a song featuring Kanye, Kid Cudi, Daft Punk, and Michael fucking Jackson. I mean come on.
Dora's Daddy i listen to that song nearly everyday lol one of his best
@@zhalosupercell9518 cudi sampled daft punk's beat. Just search "the son of flynn" its part of a soundtrack that daft made for the movie "TRON: legacy" in 2010 the soundtrack is amazing btw. One of daft's best work imo. And the movie is rlly good too
Right literally one of my favorites of his
Tripping while listening to Cudi’s music is life changing
You left out “passion pain & demon slayin”... that album was GREAT
6:18
They can’t comprehend, or even come close to understanding him
Guess if I was boring they would love me more
SuperKaboby guess if I was simple in the mind, everything would be fine.
Maybe if I was a jerk to girls... Instead of being nice and speaking kind words
“I hope they understand, that I really understand that, they don’t understand”
Then maybe it would be OK to say then
I‘ve dreamed of this video.
One of my favorite artists EVER.. Kid Cudi's influence is heavily present throughout this past decade. I'm so happy to state I've been a avid fan since 2009, his music has helped me very much, and I'm happy to see him received such praise a decade later.
You have the most calming voice 😌
I just love kid Cudi some much
Damn just some much? ☹️
Please do Understanding Run The Jewels
YES!
That's gonna be deep af, I'd love to hear El-P and Mike's antics and how politics are so integrated on their lyrics, being solo or as a group
YES!!!!!!
Kid cudi helped me walk through my depression thank you Scott.
Cudi, kanye, kendrick in that order have helped me through hard times, also helping with perspective, and a mix of both, plus great music and lyricism. Keep keepin on cuz whether we know or not we need artist like this. Especially now.
Keep keeping on brother I will be praying for u my guy or my nigga what do u prefer
@@joshuaakinbami1941 I say my guy cuz I'm white but I get the other from my best friend all the time doesn't bother me in the slightest and in the proper situations I can give him the same reply
@@dillanwalker4806 hey Man cool reply U seem awesome let’s hang out
@@joshuaakinbami1941 anytime my guy, my friend I mentions raps too, he's damn good, so shameless plug if you look up "Trey M's" he's only got a few songs up on youtube but has an album... were in the PNW in the US. Always making connections if I can to help him out.
It kills me how his fans & people inspired by him give him more praise than any awards program. MOTM3 12/11/2020
Love him or hate him Kid Cudi truly sacrificed being loved or popular in pursuit of creating what he loves and making new waves.
That ending made me tear up just listening to you describe the impact that Scott has left on me. Without Cudi I don't think I would have been able to fight my mental breakdown with Bipolar mania and Schizophrenia. That 2-3 week period of my life was shrouded in a deeper darkness that was unimaginable but in the midst of that darkness I often found myself singing and humming to cudi in my head. He was a guiding voice a glimpse of light in the darkness. His words and sound came to me when I needed it most and from that I was able to come out of this and feel reborn. Cudi is an artist that is so respectable meanwhile completely different. The way he lifts the soul is why I listen to him day in and day out.
Where’s the Volksgeist ASMR channel?
Why didn't you mention 'Satellite Flight: The Journey To The Mood"? That was another experimental studio album by him released in 2014 before SB2H
I was actually about to write about it too why he didn't mention it since that album is really good. Either way, I loved the video and editing. Volksgeist is my favorite channel where I learn a lot about my favorite artists.
U mean the album with BALMAIN JEANS, I presume?? And that sonic heavy IN MY DREAMS 2015??? Dope fucking album!!!!!!!
He did not even mention his mixtape A kid named Cudi
Underrated
@@HS-xj1tr 2:05
Just some constructive criticism: I think it's kinda distracting that you have to look at your script all the time when you have the camera on you. I think if you're gonna cut to the video of you, you should always be looking at the camera. It'll just look better. Because it's very weird to be just looking at you looking to the side. Its not all the time but I noticed it a few times on this video and it can be distracting.
Yeah definitely
Why don’t make videos yourself ?
omar7987 he was just telling him how to improve the video it’s not that deep
@@omar7987 always gotta be that one person
I like the faces dam
I remember hearing day and night for the first time back in 2009 probably in my first year in collage... it was so amazing I had goosebumps..tripped on it for months..
Didn't realize how much I needed this until now, thank you
Man I love you Phillip. You should do “Understanding Isaiah Rashad”
When is the “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” video coming out?
I’m also waiting for it
Underrated album
Is he gonna make a vid on that?
@@stevensanchez2032 It was a whole different shade of Travis lol, it was more than a sequel to RODEO looking back at it.
Best trav album
Been Waiting For This!!!!!!
edit: PLEASE DO KING KRULE!!!
Speeding bullet to heaven was soooooo good.... I’d be lying if I said every track on there is “good” but it’s a modern take on grunge and alternative rock similar to deftones... amazing
That straight was dog shit stop lying to yourself. If you fw that then Lil peep and goth music is suited for ya.
@@dr.wolfgang3256 I love peep too
We NEED an Astroworld video just like the ''Rodeo is a classic'' please. thanks and you're the most underrated channel. been subscribed since 50k
I literally fucking requested this on the last “understanding” video. I love you Volksgeist!
Ngl at this point of 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if volksgeist became an asmr youtuber
Super stoked that you're adding your self throughout the video. Appreciate you stepping out of the comfort zone! I enjoyed the addition, you can tell the amount of work you put in! Thank you for these vids!
I love kid cudi man he inspired a generation with his Art And Creativity God Bless Him.🙏🏾✨💕✌🏿🌍
Cudder has gotten me through a lot, continues to get me through a lot, and will probably get me through a lot in the future. I cherish his sounds and vulnerability. I hope others have gotten help through his music as well.
this is genuinely one of my favorite youtube channels- keep it up man
Honestly with your new format, I like that you’re more in the scenes, just get comfortable Man U got this !
Thank you Scotty
Kid new album + Netflix series dropping 2021🙂
thought it was a documentary?
@@vwvn4056 its an animated series that goes along with his upcoming album Entergalactic
I’m pretty hyped for his new album since it’s the name of one of my favorite songs from him😁 also when is that animated series dropping do you know??
This video was MUCH needed.
Thank you.
*Kid Cudi saved several lives, including mine!* ❤️
That’s Factz❤️
Happy you’re here:)
Facts👉💯
cudi saved my life🤧❤️
Whenever I need to remember who I am and remember to stay strong I listen to By Design and Rose Golden.
Explaining kid cudi lore is my HOBBY at this point
Quick note: Nirvana didn't make "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" Leadbelly did. The cover was a Leadbelly song but stylized in Nirvana's cover
Quick note: Leadbelly didn't make where did you sleep last night its a traditional song from the 1870s but was first commercially recorded by Dock Walsh in 1926 and was called In the Pines
I don’t really understand how passion pain and demon slayin is an alt rock album
Lol i always took it as his statement like fine u don't want me to do analog rock sounds how about all 808s and string sections
PP&DS #Indie Rock-Hop right🤔
It's really Trip-Hop tbh
Hearing Cudi do Mr.Rager live at a college campus free show before man on the moon 2 was released was literally amazing
I love you for making this video!! one of my favorite artist! thank you!
I’ve have bin waiting for this forever
i was waiting for this thank you
This video was really good! Keep up the great work!
Big dude, love your vids and mousey face
ayy its u
Thank you for making this. As a long time Cudi fan, this made my day ❤
Dude ur voice is so relaxing
Beautiful video brother, pleasure to watch
I can't imagine life without music, and Cudi will always be my favourite.. i started listening to him when i was 16 smoking to King Wizard, Mojo so dope, man on the moon and basicly every song he released. Speedin Bullet 2 heaven is the deepest song i ever heard. I just hope he comes to germany one day
This man looks like if Jack Harlow and Logic has a love child
this was a brilliant video, very well put together!
LOVE SEEING YOUR FACE, THIS VID IS AMAZING
A come up story like this is what i love to hear.
This video is exactly what I needed, a great explanation of this Legend.
Arguably the most important music artist of this century so far, his insight into the darker side of the psyche and dealing with these issues has helped thousands cope with their own problems by making them feel as though they are not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Omg it’s here it’s here thank you volksgeist
Best Voice in the Game and a chill Dude thanks for the Output 💚
one of my absolute favorite artists!
I guess Satellite Flight doesn't really exist.
@@vr6g608 right lol
I was starting to listen to kid Cudi and trying to become a fan a week ago and now I get this recommended to me
Fantastic video man, very well put together and organized. Cudder is awesome
Cudi is amazing to me......I appreciate him a lot as well as you Volksgeist,
Thanks you guys!!!
Where did you sleep last night was covered by Nirvana!!! Leadbelly is the artist Kurt Cobain gives credit to as the original artist of the song on the Unplugged Album but I think this song has deeper roots!!!!
Such a great video! Thank you
Great content, amazing work
Woah this is like a really good video subscribed 🔥
CuDi saves lives! Thank you big bro!
Beautiful. Man on the moon dropped my senior year in HS!! Changed my life.
Volk, it's good to see you appearing and talking to the video, it's a nice addition!
Just making a suggestion/tip for this matter: Try to put your script at the same level of the camera, when you change your look to read feels a little bit off.
Excelent video, as always!
Goat, we love scott. He’s saved us❤️
I swear this channel is goated, not a single bad video.
scott mescudi saved my life thank you!
U kinda look like Arnold from the magic school bus.
Loved the vid bro✊🏽
These videos are incredible
as always over the top video quality!
One of my favorite youtube series
These videos are way better when i can just get lost in your sick animations I don't want them constantly broken up by you speaking to the camera
volksgeist voice is comforting as kid cudi's hums
Appreciate the video bro! But you missed
Satellite flight :(
Brilliant analysis
Thank you!
10/10 discography. Great vid
You look exactly how I thought you would
Yeah like a nerd
Division Union lmfaoo
boy 😂😂
Kid Cudi's chorus on Gorgeous Ft Kanye West is his best Chorus
That and Christian Dior denim flow for me
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I dig his hook in welcome to heartbreak
Honestly I think so too
Christian Dior denim flow
Thanks for that video
You make really good videos. Keep it up
Crazy that pursuit of happiness or Day N Night never hit the #1 spot on the charts
