Kid Cudi is so far away from attempting to dispel the notion that all famous people do is hang around and take drugs it's unreal. Now don't get me wrong, I've got a lot of time for the boy, his first album and mixtapes, were good, really good. The emo meets hip hop mix was something that hadn't been heard much before. Yet his second album was lazy, a missed opportunity after so much hype.
Despite rumors that he's quit the green, this video seems to show that the Kid from Cleveland is not keen to change his ways. And it seems everyone is a little fed up with seeing him just bum around and smoke weed. And then rap about it. The boy's got talent, he needs to show it.
Rant over.
Despite all of the above, I do like the video, but I feel that that's mainly down to cameraman, director and editor Shia LaBeouf. Ok, there may have not been a huge amount of direction going on here, but I really like the filters used with the combination of, of course, Amsterdam. It combines the dark and odd mystery that covers Amsterdam's coffee houses and brothels with an equally dark and odd track. So for that, the plaudits surely have to go to Mr LaBeouf.
