It’s a mind-boggling inclusion that reeks of a quick cash grab that aims to leverage Pop Smoke’s continued popularity for a stab at mainstream success. A drill collaboration with the late Pop Smoke and Skepta that has NO place on a Kid Cudi record, let alone a MOTM one. Then, there’s the trend chasing “Show Out“. You could write it off as a homage but ultimately, it’s an incredibly disappointing choice to blatantly copy a sound of an artist that lists Cudi himself as a major influence. Songs like “She Knows This” and “Damaged” straight up rip-off Travis’ reverb-heavy flow and the inflections of his iconic ad-libs. The inspirations Cudi takes from current hip-hop extends beyond just production though, notably from his protegé – Travis Scott.
