cudi came to our school and performed this. we were actually the first audience to ever hear this, because he had just finished it out in hawaii earlier that day, or the day before, or something like that. unfortunately, the acoustics in our arena don’t work well with artists, as people complained last week with lupe. nobody could hear his verse properly, but everybody was jamming to that hook hard.

then the next day, this joint dropped everywhere. and we could properly hear it all. and it’s crazy. ricardo was playing it all day in the room, singing loudly (and surprisingly, well. he shoulda been in an acapella group.) ‘ye as well as fellow chicagoan common add very solid verses. it’s cool how they all stick with their typical flow / style on this joint. they each stick with the structure, but make it their own at the same time. does that make any sense? i hope so. jam it.

bonus points to whoever can tell me what song ‘ye sampled for this joint. and i tried so hard to find a pic with common in it, but that guy just doesn’t hit the stages too often with others. i’m just saying.
