Instant Pain: Kid Cudi’s Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven

Kid Cudi’s Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven is the kind of record you’d make after murdering someone and having a cocaine-and-bath-salt induced mental breakdown.

It’s an album that features a track called “Judgmental Cunt.” And the track is 100% dead serious.

It’s a double-disc album whose second disc inexplicably mixes outtakes, demos, and actual fully-formed tracks.

It’s an album whose cover features a blurry photo of Cudi–probably on cocaine and bath salts–with his shirt unbuttoned and his arms reaching towards the heavens.

It’s an album that inexplicably uses Beavis & Butthead-themed skits as interludes.

It’s an album that concludes with the line “instant pain, hey.”

If only the pain was instant–this shit is 91 minutes long.

If Kendrick Lamar is the next Tupac and Young Thug is the next ‘Lil Wayne, then Kid Cudi is the next Charles Manson.
