Kid Cudi is at the Midland tonight

Kid Cudi might be the only self-respecting artist in popular hip-hop who can rap about taking ‘shrooms with a woman without even trying to bang her. So why does this self-described reclusive stoner have two massive radio hits? Blame Cudi’s incredibly catchy hooks and his unabashed vulnerability. The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night, he narrates on “Day ‘N’ Nite,” the standout track on last year’s Man on the Moon: End of Day.
