No srsly, I have like 4 albums of hip hop on itunes. Well, 5 now. I picked up Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon: The End of Day. I'm really enjoying it right now. I was turned onto him by a friend telling me a song was really cool to listen to high, so I was kind of skeptical given my non-stoner nature. The music on this album is really cool though. I am for sure enjoying this.
The Pursuit of Happiness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzU9Qqdqww) (Clean, I just like the video over the still album cover)
Day 'n' Nite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RXnLaKCRqQ)
Solo Dolo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcP1mvT2Un4)
The Cleveland rapper/singer said the disc was going to have a dream concept throughout, that’s “really trippy.” What I did was I tried to make a story that you could follow along to,” he explained. “So the track listing is somewhat of a table of contents like something you would see in the beginning of a script. It’s broken down into five acts, there’s three scenes on average per act. Each scene is a song. Each act has a title and it tells you what part of the dream is happening because the whole album is a dream. And there’s nightmares so each song that’s a nightmare will have the title nightmare next to it so you’ll be in that state of mind when you listen to it.”

So I know I'm late to the Kid Cudi party, but I usually sort of ignore the artists certain friends bring up <.< Anyone else here into this guy? Think there are other songs that better show him off? Think my taste in music is awful?
