Daniel Willis I don’t know the exact percent but a large percentage of Cudi’s lyrics are about dealing with issues detrimental to ones mental health; depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, contemplating suicide but instead of just saying things like “I wanna kill my self” he goes in depth with his lyrics and a lot of people can relate to him and I know for me at least help them not feel so alone. I can say I really don’t think I’d be alive right now if it wasn’t for Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. Cudi uses his pain as medicine for others

Man on the moon 3 the chosen is the best album till date for me, every song is different and so familiar at same time.
Nigo is a real legend and a backbone of streetwear society. As I would say equivalent to his peers such as Jun Takahashi, Takahiro Miyashita, Tetsu Nishiyama etc . Really blessed to see him on Complex. His sense of "dressing" totally live in generation Y's DNA. God bless Nigo and Cudi.
Long before we know ourselves, our paths are already set in stone Some may never figure out their purpose in life and some will There are a lot of us who are caught up in this hell we all live in Content with being blinded by rules and judgment We live in a world where it's more okay to follow than to lead In this world being a leader is trouble for the system we are all accustomed to Being a leader in this day and age is being a threat Not many people stood up against the system we all call life But toward the end of our first ten years into the millennium we heard a voice A voice who was speaking to us from the underground for some time A voice who spoke of vulnerabilities and other human emotions and issues never before heard so vividly and honest This is the story of a young man who not only believed in himself, but his dreams too This is the story of the Man On The Moon

The thing that makes cudi so great is the fact that he knows hes human....most times we down play our own greatness
Damn cudi was thinking that he would wait 5 years to release another album after Kids See Ghosts... man i wouldn't survive for so long without a new album by Cudi. I'm so happy that he changed his mind

Sounds like it'll still be a while until HIS album. At least we got Kids See Ghosts 2 and his other projects to hold us over.
I could listen to Cudi talk for hours. Anything he says is just yes
The host had some heat on her feet. Atmos' were a great design. The fact that a Complex editorial can still have Nigo & Cudi as the focus over a decade after they've first blew our minds truly says something. Genuine legends in the flesh.
As a fan of Cudi's since 2010 I can't express how great this was to watch. So influential in my life yet does very few interviews, Thanks for this one 👍✌

I can’t even BEGIN to explain my love and thankfulness for Cudi. Adults ask me what kind of music I listen to expecting me to say Ariana Grande or Billie Eilish and like I do still listen to them but here’s the thing; they’re always shocked when I say I listen to Kid Cudi. They always say “Wow how do you know who that is? He was poppin when I was in like high school!” It’s not a shocker to my mom of course, I mean she was the reason why I’m like the biggest Cudder ever hahahah but still seeing and knowing that Scott is in a good place and he’s doing better us a relief :)
These dudes are soo rich yet soo humble.
If you see and hear Nigo talking you can really feel how flattered he is about being able to make all the stuff he’s been doing. Like he’s so humble and down to earth even though is Nigo®
20:22 man if there's anything Scott will be remembered for, it's this
I'm just happy to see Cudi looking healthy and happy. Makes me proud.
May cudi be blessed with love
man, i was 20 when i was introduced to both these guys. 31 now and still humbling to see how far they've come.
I love watching Cudi interviews he is so shy and soft spoken & cute , he is not afraid to be him which is a strength in a world where people pressure you to be different but he’s authentic and super intelligent, I’m super excited for more films & music 🎶
What? Wait! So Nigo used to have a legend (kid cudi) as his employee??!!! Dude, Nigo is truly the OG before all OGs. And Kudi’s work to make him where he’s at atm deserves a standing ovations

You can tell NIGO and Kid Cudi are fans of each other and that is dope
Can't wait for this new album! I've always wanted to hear about Cudi's perspective on love and relationships and we're finally getting it.
Streetwear culture is Black culture. The Mainstream culture now appreciates it but it was frowned upon in the 80’s when it was just African Americans rocking it. Nigo is doing what others have done for decades. See Black culture, appreciate it and appropriate it. Shout out to all the Black men and women who paved the way and who are the true Backbone of this culture✊🏾❤️
I really wish they showed real-time translation in the studio so that we could get reactions and conversation between Nigo & Cudi. Pretty sure Nigo understands Cudi, but you can tell Cudi has no idea wtf Nigo is saying.
Kid Cudi, please give us Man On The Moon III

Cudi has a celebrity personality like no other, such a humble legend. I hope he doing well now, he deserves it.
Kid Cudi!!! Favorite artist of all time saved my childhood bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗. Cant wait to meet you man one day 👌🏽.
Love to see Scott in such a healthy place mentally! Goals creatively for me! My little heart skipped when he said 5yrs of a break from music but whatever helps him create gold I’m supportive of♥️
Love you cud! Been rocking with you since 2005/06
Loool I've spent all this time thinking WZRD is pronounced "WIZARD" 😭😂
This one of the dopest interviews in a minute! Thank you Complex, NIGO, and Cudi🙏🙏
Complex thank you for giving this world this interview nothing but legends
CuDi is such a kind soul. Love Nigo too, such a down to earth kind of guy.
Good to see bro in a good space , I remember him telling us shit was bad but no one really cared expect for his core fans . And he’s always talked about mental health before the media took noticed “Passion, Pain, and Demon slaying” was remarkable, thank you bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The Man on the moon who is always the most down to earth, I love you Scott you truly have made people so much happier 💙
2 of my most favorite people in the world. I love cudi and nigo
I'm so excited that Cudi has a new album and is making another Kids See Ghosts. It's gonna be like getting a double whammy💕 in 2020.
One of the best - and most inspiring - interviews I’ve ever seen
Cudi seems happier than ever! Can't wait for that new album, his new journey and success he did for rap music & Hip Hop culture in the last decade is unmatched.
So happy for 👑Kid Cuddy👑 🙂💜🙏🏾👍🏾
Wow they both have came a long way to where they are now and that is really awesome and aspiring for how they did their work and how much work and effort they put in it. I have more appreciation for Nigo and Cudi 💕
well this is wonderful motivation for my week, respect to two legends
When I see Kid Cudi happy, i’m happy
I just love Kid Cudi. He's a hero!
The best news I got from this video is that Kid Cudi is working on new music.

Sends good energy waves when cudi is smiling !
My boi... Kid Kid.... Keep up the good work homie!!! We behind ya
Brah umma have this kinda influence sooner than later
Cudi is a G.O.A.T forever; the Grandfather of damn-near every genre-bending artist that is currently popping. I'm an artist myself and I am PROUD to say that. Innovator. Idol. Icon.
After watching Entergalactic this was my second stop , after the album
Take this W for having Kid Cudi here.
Kid Cudi is a KING...i love him so much. He is such a inspirational person. Thank you Cud for everything. :)
