Biography

Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi (born January 30, 1984), better known by his stage name Kid Cudi (/ˈkʌdi/ "cuddy", often stylized KiD CuDi), is an American recording artist and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. Cudi first gained major recognition following the release of his first official full-length project, a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi (2008). The mixtape caught the attention of American rapper-producer Kanye West, who subsequently signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label imprint in late 2008. Cudi has since gone on to launch his own record label imprints, the now-dissolved Dream On and current independent label, Wicked Awesome Records. Initially a rapper, Cudi has since added singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, music video director and film composer to his repertoire. As of 2018, Cudi has released six studio albums as a solo artist. In 2008, his debut single "Day 'n' Nite", led him to prominence, reaching the top five of the Billboard charts. Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2010, he released Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, which was preceded by "Erase Me" and "Mr. Rager". Later that year, Cudi formed a rock band, now known as WZRD, with his long-time collaborator Dot da Genius, releasing one eponymous debut album, in early 2012. The album debuted at number one on the Top Rock Albums chart.[4][5] In April 2013, Cudi released Indicud, which became his highest-charting album on multiple charts. In February 2014, Cudi unexpectedly released his fourth album, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, exclusively to digital retailers with no promotion. In 2015, Cudi released his rock album Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven to negative reception. In 2016, he returned to hip-hop with his sixth album, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' to critical acclaim. Cudi later released a joint album with West under the eponymous name Kids See Ghosts. Kid Cudi has sold over 5.2 million digital singles and has worked with numerous prominent artists in the music industry, including Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, David Guetta, MGMT, Shakira, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bolton, among others. With his originality and creativity, as well as the emotion he conveys in his music, Cudi has amassed a large cult-like following among high school students, college students and stoners alike. In 2010, Cudi ventured into acting when he began starring in the HBO series How to Make It in America. Cudi has since appeared in several feature films, including Goodbye World, Need for Speed and Entourage. In addition, he has made appearances on television shows such as One Tree Hill, The Cleveland Show and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In 2015, he was the bandleader on the IFC series, Comedy Bang! Bang!. Previously worked folding jumpers at American Apparel, Abercrombie & Fitch & Dean & Deluca.

LYRICS

Way too many days stuck at 24
Moving like a child who doesn't age
Life will run its course
Can I keep up with all these memories, memories?
Think of all the ways I played myself, played myself
Such a simple thing
Such a simple thing
The victim and the villain are the same

Look back at my life, I came from zero love
I hide my own eyes, stunted my inner growth
Look back at my life, turns out I had control
Of my own Truman Show
Look back at my life and all the bumpy roads
I chase what I feel but never sold my soul
Look back at my life, turns out I had control
Of my own Truman Show

Pictures that I've seen, all them broken frames
Meaning that it's meaningful to change
No disguising pain, I know better
With all these memories, memories
Mixing in my brain
Turns out sympathy and empathy is such a simple thing

Such a simple thing
The victim and the villain are the same

Look back at my life, I came from zero love
I hide my own eyes, stunted my inner growth
Look back at my life, turns out I had control
Of my own Truman Show
Look back at my life and all the bumpy roads
I chase what I feel but never sold my soul
Look back at my life, turns out I had control
Of my own Truman Show

Yo, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Yo, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

Wave goodbye with both my hands
To the lonely man, the lonely man
Wave goodbye, did the best I can
For the lonely man, the lonely man

Wave goodbye with both my hands
To the lonely man, the lonely man
Wave goodbye, did the best I can
For the lonely man, the lonely man

Yo, oh, oh-oh
Yo-oh-oh-oh
Yo, oh, oh-oh, oh
