Summer Stage: Kid Cudi
5 minutes until Kid Cuti hits the stage and the crowd is anxious to sing along to the melodic mix "Is There Any Love?"
He gives the thumbs up and runs on stage, ready to tear it up.
Nick (Kid Cudi's DJ) says he's ready as well. He gives the thumbs up and screams "Fools Gold!"
On stage its like he transformed into the being of pure entertainment. He has a stage presence similar to Lupe's; I can see why Kanye took a liking to him. He went on by himself, he pumped up the crowd by himself and he performed 5 of his songs. For someone that just finished smoking a bone he seemed to be long winded. I thought that cigarette's were supposed to slow you down? Anyway "Day & Night" came on and not only did he rock it, he got the crowd into it, the DJ cut the music and all you can hear is a wave of the chorus to "Day & Night" echoed throughout the crowd lead by Cudi. There were even times when he'd just feel the energy from the crowd and start dancing.
If you've never heard a Kid Cudi song be sure to do something about that as soon as possible.
