Kid Cudi - Going to the Ceremony [Stream]

[This article was originally posted by asamp at ClanEclectic.com.]
Seemingly out of nowhere, Kid Cudi has released a new song entitled Going to the Ceremony. It’s only been a little over two months since Cudi dropped his third album Indicud, so I have no clue where this track will end up. But that clearly doesn’t matter because it’s summertime and no Summer is complete without some new Cudi. The overall sound isn't new for Cudi but it is a change of pace from his most recent project. Check it out:
I fully expect Going to the Ceremony to be the soundtrack for BBQ's and fireworks displays everywhere this weekend.

New Cudi.

And it's off Indicud.

Just wait til the biddies hear this:


You can thank Steph Curry and SBNation for these glorious .GIFs and Complex for the stream.

Indicud is set for an April 23^rd release on G.O.O.D. Music.

"Damn asamp was right, Where the hell you been??"

Finally back after a brief hiatus. Between work, more work and Watch the Throne's release last week, I haven't had much time to scour the internet for new music. I did, however, happen to come across Kid Cudi's new video for his song on the Fright Night Soundtrack. I mean, the movie looks pretty terrible but the song and video are dope:

Unh. New Coodwah.

Music of the Moment - October 12, 2009 [Samples Edition]

One of the things I love most about hip hop is the use of samples. It shows a link to today's music and music from the past and can also tell a lot about the artist/producer and the song itself. It's also cool when one song is sampled to create more than one other song. But it's even more dope if the original was in a completely different genre than the songs that sampled it. That's what I figured I would showcase today. Here's an example of song song that was sampled for more than one song and the message in each of the new songs couldn't be anything further from the same.
Sample: Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover [1975]

Song #1: Tupac & Eminem - Murder Murder [1999]

Song #2: Common - Forever Begins [2007]

Song #3: Kid Cudi - 50 Ways to Make a Record [2007]
Cudi's version is probably my favorite and the closest to Simon's original. But you can definitely hear the similarites to the original in both Eminem and Common's versions. Eminem even used the drum sample again for his 2005 song Like Toy Soldiers.

Pretty dope if you ask me.
And even if you didn't.

Music [Video] of the Moment - June 8, 2009

I guess this guy can do no wrong. I've already used Kid Cudi three times in Music of the Moments, mainly because his shit is hot. He twittered about being the underdog but I'm sure he's gonna blow. This is a video for the song Heaven at Nite off of his 2008 mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi. It was one of my favorite joints on there and the video makes it even better. This is what chillin looks like.

Stupid wavy.
