I don’t know you, I don’t know what you’re going through, I don’t know the demons you’ve faced but through your music I know that you’re one of the strongest individuals I’ve ever known or heard of.
I first heard you in 2009, I heard ‘Day n Nite’ and at first I didn’t like it. It sounded wrong to me, it didn’t click but over time and with the release of ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ you grew on me. You became my go to guy, your music was what I played when everything seemed so dark and I cried to it countless of times. Crying really helps me to get over things tbh, I feel like a good cry is something everyone needs once in a while and you got that out of me.
Man on the moon is my favourite album of all time and ‘The Prayer’ is my favourite song of all time and that’s because I can relate to ever single song on the album, it touches my soul and takes me to a place I’ve never been. You’re a saviour, a genius, you’ve been chosen and I guess you’ve had to go through a lot of shit to finally realise that but we appreciate you. I really couldn’t care less what people say about you because you are what you are to me and that is the person that made me realise that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
A friend of mine once told me that MOTM 2 made him come to terms with death and he isn’t scared of it anymore and it shook me. It shook me to think music could do that for someone, could make someone go through those thoughts and come to that conclusion but then it’s your music so I guess it’s normal for your fans.
I really wish you’d release ‘Love’ because it’s also one of my favourite songs ever and going on soundcloud to listen to it is stressful but I’ve gotta do what I’ve gotta do. I could list tracks for days and tell you what they made me feel and how they helped me but I’m hoping one day I’ll meet you by chance and we can talk about everything.
This new album is beautiful, it’s everything. I know everyone wanted you to go back to your style on MOTM and I was one of those people and this new album did it for me, I’ve just finished my first listen and I started penning this so you know I felt something different than I’ve felt with the rest of your tapes. At first I thought the 3 singles were my favourites then I heard ‘By Design’ and my mind changed then ‘ILLusions’ changed my mind again, then one minute into ‘Rose Golden’ my favourite changed, ‘Advanced’ did the same, ‘Dance 4 Eternity’ came on and I was amazed at the beauty of it and thoughts raced through my mind.
I think you get what I mean, every track became my favourite and I’ve not felt this feeling in God knows how long, you’re back. Well you never went away but you’re back & I know it must have taken a lot to get through this process but you made it and I hope you keep on holding on, not of me, not for everyone else but for you and your daughter so she can grow up to realise how huge a figure her father is, what he has brought to the world and I want you to be there beside her and know that you’ve made it.
I love you Cudi
Forever and always.
