As KidCudi's debut album turns 10, Logic301, SuperDuperKyle and Ratatat look back on how the genre-blending, lyrically vulnerable project set the stage for modern music
“He opened an entire world sonically for me,” Logic says of Cudi. “It completely reshaped how I wanted to make my music. It showed me that I don’t have to stick in the bubble and don’t necessarily [have to] flow with conformity.”’s opening track, “In My Dreams ,” concludes its floating, twinkling tune with a Common-narrated verse that promises “a voice who spoke of vulnerabilities and other human emotions and issues never before heard so vividly and honest.
“It was kind of shocking for that moment in time because hip-hop was very macho,” notes Ratatat’s Evan Mast , who produced both “Pursuit of Happiness” and “Alive .” “To have somebody get on the microphone and express these vulnerabilities was definitely not something you were used to hearing at that time.”: “It was my intention to inspire, to change things. I wanted to infect the game with my energy and my beliefs on how to create music. My rules.
“The right people” ended up being the next generation of hip-hop artists and fans. In the years sincedropped, dozens of brand name rappers have cited Cudi as a major influence on their own work: Travis Scott. Tyler, the Creator. ASAP Rocky. Logic. Kevin Abstract. Jaden Smith. Juice WRLD. Lil Yachty. KYLE. The list stretches on.
