Monday Aug 31, 2020
Monday Aug 31, 2020
Despite unfavorable reviews from critics and a chilly reception from many fans, Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven remains Kid Cudi's most raw, vulnerable and, perhaps, unique work. Though rough around the edges, this album retains a cult following and explores topics that are rarely discussed in music. Discussed in this episode: conflict between vulnerability and masking your issues, difficulty choosing between suicide and living in sadness, deciding between feeling life's pain versus the numbness of drugs, difficulty quieting your own negative thoughts while living most of life in your head, the nature of drugs trapping people at their lowest state, questions about if there is artistic value in creating artwork that is troubling for an audience to consume, the double-edged sword of being sensitive, convincing oneself of worthlessness leading to difficulty in relationships, the ups and downs of life rather than it being a direct journey to happiness, how the discussion of suicide an depression can be comforting for listeners who relate to Cudi, and the subjective nature of art. https://www.insightfulthinkersmedia.com/
