"When I was on drugs, I became this character, I liked feeling free and feeling unstoppable.” - XXLmag interview.
Cudi wanted to write a dark, angry album right?
So to get into character he's living that lifelstyle, coke. jail. trash talk ect. "RAGIN".
With his life going so great and the success he was having, it'd be tough for him to write a whole dark themed album and it sound/feel genuine.
In a couple interviews iv'e seen he's "done with that shit" and moving on, being there for his family.
Anyone notice he decides to do this, right after his album is supposedly finished?
Cudis just trying to put out a real album for his fans.
Doing what an actor usually does, starts to live the character they will play.
Respect this *****. going through this shit, just so he wont let us down.
