Hey, I'm gonna open up my blog with a little disclaimer; I have no idea how to write a blog or anything of that sort but, I know how to speak about myself and how I see things, so throughout this entire Album a Day thing I'm just gonna type this up like I'm chatting up one of my friends.
Alright, here we go.
The first week of my blog I decided to go with my own list of classics so my readers can go ahead and try and wrap their heads around what type of a person I am. While deciding what album to start off with I looked through my iTunes library and as my eyes glazed over all the album art looking for one that was just right I came across Indicud. This album initially impacted me so heavily and looking at it again brought back so many memories. This album was released in 2013 while I was in second semester of grade 10.
See tenth grade was a time of transition for me, I moved from Mississauga to Milton the summer prior and began a new year at a school where I knew virtually no one and I had a tough time making new friends. I felt invisible to my peers and I had no friends to talk to, never was there such a time where I've felt so alone.
I remember there was times where songs like Unfuckwittable, Burn Baby Burn and Immortal would give me the courage to breakout of my shell and walk the halls at lunch. So much so it would get to the point where I started talking to classmates during class. Next thing I know I have a total paradigm shift where I realize that no matter what the opinion of others, I'll still be me. Even if I go out and try to make friends but get rejected, who really cares, I've gained the confidence to be okay on my own so even if all goes wrong, I'll still have my own back.
Going through and listening to this album again brought me back to the hardships that I thought myself into years ago, it made me realize how far I've come from being that quiet unconfident kid who would go to the library during lunch because he didn't have friends to spend it with.
I could not recommend this album enough, all of the tracks slap hard. Although cudi is known to be one of the more emotional rappers in the game he speaks volumes on this album and you should give it a listen.
