After collaborating with Kanye West on his cold electro-pop record 808s & Heartbreak, Kid Cudi followed up his megahit debut mixtape A Kid Named Cudi with this conceptual arena-rap sad-stoner magnum opus song-cycle. Beloved by the likes of Pete Davidson and Timothee Chalomet, this Common-narrated record went on to inspire a generation of Cudi devotees including Tyler The Creator, Travis Scott and Kevin Abstract with its frank emotional honesty.
It’s also the 459th Greatest Album of All Time according to Rolling Stone. This week, Christopher and Liam listened to it, and now they’re going to talk about it. Featured topics include: the music video for the Crookers remix of Day ‘N’ Nite, working in a shoe shop, Kids See Ghosts, Achewood, the subject of mental health in hip-hop, and Henry Winkler. All that plus another installment of Secret Posho in the 42nd complete episode of Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
