Background [edit]

On August 25, 2009, Cudi announces that his 2d album was going to be in a trilogy, information technology was originally going to exist titled Man on the Moon: The Ghost in the Machine. In the same interview, he was yet working on the title for the third Human being on the Moon.[ii] Three weeks subsequently, Cudi releases Human being on the Moon: The End of Twenty-four hours, it sold 104,000 in the first week and charted at number iv.[iii] In a MTV interview, Cudi appear that the follow-up to his debut album would exist a compilation album entitled Cudder, which would have many collaborations. He stated he had already recorded songs with Snoop Dogg, Travis Barker, Clipse, Muzzle and Pharrell, and would also like to piece of work with Drake, Green Day, Kings of Leon, Robin Thicke, The Killers and The Postal Service on the album.[four] On Jan vii, 2010, Cudi revealed in a video interview with Karmaloop TV that he was working with Pharrell in Miami for the album.[five] A week later, he changes the title from Cudder to Cudder and the Revolution of Development at a show in Milwaukee.[vi] Few months later, Cudi took off to his web log to announce that he scrapped the collaborative theme of Cudder for a project that is more than personal. He stated:

"A lot of you have read the news and think they know Cudi, got slick shit to say amongst your peers or but flat out hate me but you haven't the slightest clue of who I am. I will tell the story of Mr Rager."

He announces that the anthology was going to be titled Human on the Moon Two: The Legend of Mr. Rager.[seven] Cudi stated that "Human being on the Moon Ii is night by nature and instead of bringing you lot into my dreams like my first anthology, I'm bringing you into my reality, adept and bad. It will explain more than of who I am besides as pushing the envelope musically."[seven] In a Complex interview for his cover shoot titled "Mad Man on the Moon", he talks about the anthology and stating "Information technology's explicit, just smart explicit. I'm non holding dorsum. I accept no regard for what people consider right or wrong. Some things I follow—similar the law, from here on out. But other than that, I'm doing whatsoever the fuck I want to do. I'k not property back. That's why I've been so excited nigh this move to L.A., considering I but want to keep growing creatively, all over, as a homo being." Later in the interview, he talked about why the album changed saying "When I started making records like "Erase Me". I wanted this album to exist fun, but the dark shit was my life at that time. I was fighting not to write that shit. It got frustrating writing a collab album—I just lost interest, and it became more of a chore, rather than something I wanted to do. That's not how information technology'south supposed to feel. The day it becomes work, you demand to retire."[8]

Recording and production [edit]

Recording sessions for the album took place at several recording studios, including Avex Recording Studios in Honolulu, Electric Lady Studios in New York Metropolis, Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, Parkland Playhouse in Parkland, The Broski Room in New York City, Westlake Sound in W Hollywood. The track "We Aite (Wake Your Listen Up)" was recorded at the Germano Studios in New York City, and other tracks similar "Marijuana" and "Ashin Kusher" was recorded at the Record Plant in Los Angeles. The title track "Mr. Rager" was recorded at NightBird Recording Studios in West Hollywood.

Prior to the process, it was mixed past Manny Marroquin, forth with Christian Plata and Erik Madrid. All the songs were mastered by Vlado Meller at Universal Mastering Studios.[9]

Producer Emile Haynie handled nearly of the tracks' product.[9] Outside of Cudi'southward longtime collaborator, Cudi too collaborated with Grammy Laurels winning producer Anthony Kilhoffer, who has worked often with Kanye Westward.[9] Composer Larry Gold arranged and conducted with strings on four tracks, and producer Mike Dean contributed guitar on three tracks for the anthology.[9] In April 2010, Cudi was in the studio with recording artist Kenna.[10]

Jim Jonsin, who produced the album'due south first single compared Cudi's blending of sounds to B.o.B'south genre-bending anthology The Adventures of Bobby Ray, stating "Information technology's a mix. It's kind of some club stuff, some hip-hop traditional rap stuff, and and so some rock-pop stuff. He'southward goin' everywhere."[11] Cudi afterward said that Jonsin had misinformed fans about the new album, "I got mad honey for Jim but he was misinformed. In that location is no Kanye & Kid Cudi Duran Duran vocal, I'd sample a 90s tape before a 80s record anyday and when I worked with Jim, I hadn't fifty-fifty started sessions with Apparently Pat and Emile yet so the management of my album was yet to be determined."[12]

In a September 2010 interview with Spike TV, Cudi spoke on the album'south guest appearances: "Man, when it comes to features, I kinda just stick to my homies. My peoples Bit tha Ripper, GLC [who is] a GOOD Music chapter. Got my boy Cage over there, and Mary J. Blige on the album. We got Cee-Lo on the album. It'southward just actually taking off where we terminal stopped."[13]

Music and lyrics [edit]

Though Kanye W (on his 2008 album, 808s & Heartbreak) and Drake as well tin can play the brooding loner pretty persuasively, Cudi takes the persona several steps further on "Homo on the Moon Two". The five-function narrative follows a character who tries to act like the hip-hop star he has become.

—Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune [14]

Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager expands on the spacey, atmospheric aesethetic of its predecessor, The End of Twenty-four hours.[15] Information technology features an eerie, supernatural production that incorporates alternative rock,[16] psychedelic,[17] post-punk,[18] and new wave.[19] The album's elements consist of; electro-grooves,[20] minimalist beats,[nineteen] somber strings,[21] woozy synths,[21] ghostly samples,[22] distorted guitars,[22] and melancholy melodies.[21]

Music writers noted "1990s-era alt-rock" and a "1970s-era sound" in the anthology's music.[16] Spin writer Charles Aaron noted "His cautionary journey takes the music in a makeshift '90s-alt-stone direction, jacked upward on jittery beats that eerily mirror the rush and crash of someone who'due south been given way likewise much admission to way too much donkey."[16] Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine wrote "it finds that Cudi burrowing deeper into the blackness hole of spacey psychedelia, fusing the clinical, synthetic hip-hop of 808s & Heartbreak with rock sounds derived from Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Zappa."[23] Sputnikmusic writer Channing Freeman commented on the production saying "the beats are slower, they feel somehow more claustrophobic, as if the walls of the songs are closing in around Cudi and he's trying to attain the end before beingness crushed."[24]

Lyricially, information technology continues on the autobiography rail serial like its predecessor, and follows the themes like depression,[25] loneliness,[24] detachment,[24] and isolation,[24] but in a darker context. Greg Kot of Chicago Tribune commented "He plunges into a world of bravado and later-parties, with their endless supply of drugs and women."[14] Cudi'south lyrics on Human on the Moon Two accost his old cocaine addiction,[26] newfound fame,[27] family issues,[28] alcoholism,[29] and women.[27] On the first ii songs of the album "Scott Mescudi vs the World" and "Revofev", Cudi provides an introduction to the album where he demonstrates the high and lows, too telling the kids to have hope. "Don't Play This Song" is where Cudi gives a cursory caption of his history of drug use,[xxx] and he gives an unraveling of his suppressed thoughts hinting at suicide.[31] "Marijuana" is an ode to cannabis where Cudi tactfully presents it as a relief to his mental distress.[31] The lead single "Erase Me" is nigh a daughter who hates Cudi, only tin't forget him.[27] Throughout the anthology, the subject field affair of doubt shines, with songs that display emotions of incertitude ("These Worries", "The Finish") and the dark experiences that Cudi had ("Maniac", "Mr. Rager").[32] On "Ghost!" he describes going through life'south trials and tribulations and becoming desensitized to the harrowing journeying.[33] SgtPeppers of Sputnikmusic notes "Through metaphors, we learn about the rise and fall, and the rise of the alter-ego "Mr. Rager". How he, in the end, paid the price for all of his antagonizing actions, only became a better person because of it. Feel = Wisdom, this is the theme of the anthology. And though this album is all well-nigh "Mr. Rager", this is the about honest he has always been with united states of america."[32]

[...] Only vulnerability loses its power when it's calculated to audio dramatic and masculine."[83]
