What does cudi mean by rage

Just like Cudi interpolating the Smashing Pumpkins, popular rappers often communicate rage through the sounds, images, and personalities of alternative rock and punk music. All of these artists understand what Trippie and his ilk do not: Rage is more than a word you can just throw around—if you say it you have to make us feel it. Will Drake descend from the rafters with a massive hit like usual? Well, listen up. I have a contender you might be overlooking. A single begins to trickle onto the radio airwaves, you know summer is on the horizon.

She raps about the type of club nights people dream of having, when they get all dressed up and spend thousands without a care. He is not! A and her slickly delivered late-night adventures. This song is ready and willing to soundtrack a devious summer, we just have to open our arms and accept it.

Luckily, there are three more new songs exactly like it. In the couple of years before he was murdered in September , Tupac was the most infamous rapper on the planet. He put out Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me , signed to Death Row Records after a highly publicized stint in jail for sexual abuse, and was in the midst of the bleakest rap beef ever.

They spend a hellish day trying to enter a rehab program but are thrown into maddening loops by government bureaucracy. Tupac probably could have been an action star. He runs with the fluidness of Wesley Snipes, which makes it look real, and the animation of Tom Cruise, which makes it look hilariously intense.

General Comment This is a sick song from Cudi because it represents himself so well. He knows both sides of the Mr. Rager story. He was once an indie outcast on the hip hop scene where he dreamed of livin like jay-z or kanye or any other of the hip hop leaders who you see partying with models and living a fantasy lifestyle.

It also could apply to life in high school where he, like most kids, kinda wanted to be one of those kids who ditched school for a sort of mysterious extravagant party lifestyle. Now however Cudi is Mr. Rager, hence the name of his new album. So its pretty cool that he writes this song as a dialogue between him and his former self philipriv on September 04, Link.

General Comment My view: Mr. Rager is another persona of Cudi. Rager is the angry and frustrated side of himself that longs to become famous, well-liked, and distinguished from everyone else. Solo Dolo is the other persona, the one that's lonely and feels outcast from the world. Yeah" These verses paint a picture of how he sees who he wants to be. The fact that they fly simply means that they are free and untethered from the stresses of everyday life, and that is what he wants for himself.

The chorus continues with this theme. Rager Cudi's ideal self is going on adventures, living an exciting lifestyle, always on the move. Yeah" These verses explain why the protagonist in this song is called Mr. He feels extremely frustrated. He wonders when he can stop dreaming his ideal life and actually start living it. The name "Mr. Rager" is central to this song, and I don't think many people understand that.

Rager's anger, or rage, is inherent to his character; it's what's fueling him want to become one of the birds singing and flying around, untethered to the ground. He longs for that freedom when he doesn't have it, and he is raging at how difficult it is to make that freedom, that "heaven" a reality and more than just "fantasy. By being Mr. Rager, he is effectively -the- king at getting f'ed up. The whole album is about a dark time in his life where he got into a pretty deep addiction to cocaine, again, another form of "raging".

The song is dedicated to everyone like him, people that are different, don't fit in with everyone else. The chorus sounds like his fans and people like him calling out to Mr. Rager cudi , wanting to go with him on his journey to heaven, but he's so f'ed up he can hardly hear his fans calling out to him. It's why the song ends on a rather sad note, and progresses right into "These Worries" where he opens right up to taking a line of coke.

He's not doing too well at this point of the album. Aman89 on December 08, Link. I know it seems like its all about drugs for cudi but it also goes waaaayy deeper than that.

Pepe12 on January 05, What we make of it is for all of us to discover on our own though. What we come up with on our high's are our own thoughts alone. Just like his highs are his thoughts, sure you can try and make sense of it but that's like trying to put yourself in someone else s brain and grasping every bit of concept that oozes from it.

It's nothing personal to people trying to interpret the song, as that's the whole purpose of the website, but I think the song has a general meaning which I took a shot at and a personal meaning, that I think only Kid Cudi will ever really understand.

Aman89 on January 16, Rayados6 on August 06, My Interpretation To me, i feel like this song represents an inner struggle, particularly in regards to how others perceive you and how it affects the way you feel about yourself. The opening linesI'm off on a adventure Now"signify Kid Cudi at the beginning of his journey to try and find his identity. It's especially meaningful because early and mid twenties is the time in which we mold our identities and that process can be particularly painful both personally and professionally.

When we're young adults, we're still in that phase where we look up to certain figures but we're simultaneously trying to break free of others in the pursuit of finding our authentic self. Raaager, Mr. Rager Tell me where you're going, Tell us where you're headed I'm off on a adventure, Mr.

Rager Tell me where you're going, Tell us where you're headed I'm on my way to heaven, Mr. Raaager Can we tag along, Can we take the journey --the lyrics allow for a multitude of varied interpretations. Personally, I think this part demonstrates how Kid Cudi may have become, at one point in his life or maybe even in the present wrapped up in a certain image that doesn't fit with his authentic self and he has demons that he's fighting off--maybe through actual fighting, self-medication, his music, controlling certain aspects of his life in an attempt to keep his identity crisis from seeping into is conscious--the possibilities are limitless.

Who knows? When I watched the music video, I saw a dream sequence in which ever person in it was a part of himself he gets beaten up, blinded and stabbed--all of which hints toward him fighting off parts of himself and eventually losing because he dies at the end of his dream and 'wakes up' in a therapist's office, suggesting he is finally getting help.

Also telling is the jacket he wears at the end Then-- Knocked down round for round You're feeling like you're shot down on the ground When will the fantasy end, When will the heaven begin yeaah You might be knocked down round for round You're feeling like you're shot down on the ground When will the fantasy end yeaah , When will the heaven begin yeaah --this part really solidifies it for me.

He's fighting against himself and wondering 'when will the fantasy end' suggesting he is coming out of denial and realizing that what he is doing to himself personally is taking an immense emotional, mental and physical toll on him. He wants to break out of his persona that he forced on himself and find inner peace 'when will heaven begin? Lastly, the repeated lines that play throughout the song-- Tell me where you're going, Tell us where you're headed I'm on my way to heaven, Mr.

Raaager Can we tag along, Can we take that journey Can we take that journey I'm off on a adventure --are extremely important because they mean different things at the beginning and end of the song. At the beginning, I think kids looking up to Kid Cudi are asking him, Tell me where you're going, Tell us where you're headed Rager" and Kid Cudi responds with "I'm on my way to heaven" because he genuinely believe he actually on the path to heaven since his definition of paradise is framed around being an impossible, larger-than-life figure that will be able to indulge in every excess and know every so-called 'happiness' that comes from living that rockstar lifestyle.

At the end though, it seems to me he's losing the notion that being someone you aren't, even if you get all those so-called 'wonderful things,' is the path to heaven or happiness. General Comment I think the meaning to this song is very prominent in the video for it.

If you haven't seen it, then you must, or else this explanation probably won't make much sense Scott is unstable emotionally, as shown by him talking to a psych. Rager is Scott in the spotlight, or how we all know him, as Kid Cudi. His dreams lie at the top, and he's running up the stairs to claim them and not willing to come back down. I don't know Scott, so there's no way to tell, but I believe his dream is normalcy and sanity.

But he has to fight for them, and overcome obstacles along the way in the form of critics, emotions, fate, whatever, and he's clearly overwhelmed, but not willing to give up what he wants, or rather, needs. From above Scott, the actual normal man, watches him, and he knows that Mr. Rager won't ever be able to reach him up in his sanctuary, so he goes down to meet Mr. And when it comes time for them to finally meet, Scott kills Mr. Rager, not maliciously, but gently and peacefully, because killing Mr.

Rager is the only way for Mr. Rager to achieve normalcy and sanity.
