yep! its funny how kanye, drake, 50cent etc wearing jesus piece and skinny jeans 7 years later while theire fuccboi-fans camping outside for days to get the 350 sneakers.. smh
Kid Cudi is one of the only rappers whose freestyles are off the top. Not mad at rappers who spit memorized written verses but the ability to truly freestyle is rare, well done Cudi.
One of the best freestyles ever. Straight off the dome and he kept is clean for the radio. That’s really hard to do. Also who else could freestyle to that first fast ass beat.
Adrian Alvarez yes sir. See when we were kids and in high school and college they still had great R&B smh idk what happened. Even some of the merengue, bachata, and some reggaeton I guess its all music idk. Thank God for throwbacks
uzibitch1 I guess you're right there is plenty better but Eminem's a legend I went into this video having heard two kid cudi songs I didn't even expect him to rap well but he killed it
Same thing when he says let the bass kick in a second after the bass kicks in. It always made me wonder if this was choreographed or something but I always came back to cudi being one of the best I ever heard
@@lordrob13 not choreographed at all, he's just going with whatever happens, incorporating what's going on around him lol, though thinking it's choreographed makes it even better because it's clearly not
@@jones3753 he wasn't saying anything prolific, just a good ass freestyle. It's not unbelievable that he can actually rap a little bit lol it's amazing what you get good at when that's all you do for years and years man.....
It's so crazy to think I've been listening to this man since 2007-8. 13 years. He's my all time favorite artist and to see how much of an impact he has made on not just "rap/hip hop" but music in general is just truly awesome to me.
dude there was never anyone like him b4, he started putting out such good music the year i graduated and bump him every sday. He makes albums you can put on and listen from start to finish and Most are great
Kid Cudi got me the through so much when I was younger. Now I’m going through a horrible break up and he’s getting me through it. Him and Eminem! 😂 so much love for Cudi man.
seeing this makes me want to see Cudi do the 5 fingers of death on sway. He killed these 3 beats which were tough to flow on, he will kill the beats on Sways show as well. Hopefully pre man on the moon 3 he does a promo run and freestyles on all these radio shows
Damn I'm glad I came across this again. 09/09/24... Cudi killed this. This freestyle and the one Lupe Fiasco spits on sway in the morning are my 2 absolute favorites.
This is musical talent, he was born to be a musician very FEW rappers that can feel the beat and spit off the dome, sure some of his lines are memorized verses of life, but nothing is written and nothing is planned here, just feel the beat and spit. Only one on Tim Westwood to actually kill a real FREESTYLE, boy started singing, FIRE.
14 years later and I'm driving to work.. and all of a sudden I get "from the double OH OH FROM THE DOUBLE OH" stuck in my head after hearing something similar on the radio... I could not put my finger on where I got that from but kept repeating it all day at work. Fast forward a couple of months later, this freestyle pops up on my feed. Thank you YT.. I use to watch this on weekly when I was a young lad
Im 28 from Cincinnati Ohio was there till I was 16 almost 17. Then moved down to Florida, been here every since. I love kid Cudi's like this playlist I found is literally the kind of rap I grew up on. Aside from wiz, snoop,old school. Em.etc but cudi always was and always will be one of my favorite artists. His music makes me feel better
Miss this Cudi, he was dope. I still am a fan and have been since A Kid Named Cudi and mess with the new tracks, but I would kill for him to flow like he did on MOTM 1 and 2.
The reason he his music has changed so much is because he wants to be a producer way before he became a rapper, if you notice half his songs in satellite flight didn't have any words, I'm pretty sure they were his beats. But MOTM3 will be much different and will be the cudi everyone loves. But to me everything cudi does is dope! Keep it up Moon Man ✌
10 YEARS AGO! ONE OF THE HARDEST FREESTYLES OF ALL TIME!!
Come to this freestyle Dailey for last 2 months
@Carlos Pelaez Pleitez I listened to this in the 9th grade, I'm 25 now. lmao
TO THIS DAY! lol
Da FUCKING WIZARD!!! Legend
i listen to this all the time since released pagchomp
you know it's a good freestyle when this melody is still stuck in your head after 13+ years
dude, i saw 13 years ago and was like damn, this shit was on replay back in the day
@@WITHBEN yes omg 14-15 years old
Hahaha bro. Every time I do my shitty freestyles in my car by myself this melody is my go to naturally. Had to revisit.
Frrrr
You know its a Jadakiss song right? "Who's Real". Swizz Beatz production.
Cudi was lightyears ahead of the game with fashion.
yep! its funny how kanye, drake, 50cent etc wearing jesus piece and skinny jeans 7 years later while theire fuccboi-fans camping outside for days to get the 350 sneakers.. smh
And sonics, no 808's without Cudi.
Chris Brown Oh yeah, I'm well informed about his involvement to that album. Don't worry, I ain't a radio sheep lol
+Chris Brown bro no, we'd still have 808's without cudy, nikkas credited on 3 songs, one is a feature.
there's a reason why he was the manager of the bape store in soho (big fucking deal) before he got signed.
After about 15 years I’m back listening to this. Shows how much this has stuck in my head. He made my childhood kid cudi. Man on the moon was sick
Same
Rite-aid
same hereeee. I missed you mescudii
100% I still find myself randomly spittin lines from this
Facts
when he sips his cup, he looks like frozone from the incredibles when he tells the cop "I'm just getting a drink"
Bryan Peralta haaaa real shit
hahaha!!!!
Im dead
I thought i was the only one thinking that
Bryan Peralta a comment ahead of its time
bruh I used to watch this everyday in 7th grade when it first came out lmao
SAME!! 6th grade for me tho. He's fuckin dope
+M-Hartz〈3 5th grade for me
Damn y'all young as fuck.
Shadcharleston ya
same bruh this shit was too good
''That was easy''
-Kid Cudi
easy does it
e z
this dude is pure talent.... he just produced songs on the go
baq100 would be better if he had something prepared rather then just talking random shit
Even when I siiiiiiinnnnnnngggg...siiiiiiinnnnnnggggg. So sick man
Like true Aquarius do
Kid Cudi is one of the only rappers whose freestyles are off the top. Not mad at rappers who spit memorized written verses but the ability to truly freestyle is rare, well done Cudi.

Damn this quarantine brought me way back 😂
Same yo!
MahhkyThaWiseguy978 lmaooooo i have fell victim as well
"Everybody put ya hands togethaaa, smoooth young brothaaa from the double Oh Oh Oh!" 🤘😂😂
Yooo same
Ohhh I still have to comeback to this in 2024 he kills it!
We need more Kid Cudi. Killing the mic with a freestyle
Kid cudi, yes indeed we need more of his Music. I was listening to : I'm on the pursuit of happens. That's on of my jams!
The Son of A king the music now days lost meaning and value
Adrian Alvarez so true, but I still listen to some but very little.
The Son of A king yea. It's amusing at times and times it just gets annoying. My main man is Kendrick. And a little Jay Cole
Adrian Alvarez yes sir. See when we were kids and in high school and college they still had great R&B smh idk what happened. Even some of the merengue, bachata, and some reggaeton I guess its all music idk. Thank God for throwbacks
Cudi was rockin slim jeans and leather before it was popular. (In hiphop)
No...
Lol Michael Jackson never existed?
Shadcharleston
in HipHop/Rap Of course it was cool in Pop
^ok nigga?
LMAO
Who's still coming back to this in 2023 💃🏽
2024
2024
literally the best freestyle I've ever heard and it's off the top
have you heard childish gambino he is really good
+Nathan Lindberg ya he's really good but I've never heard anything this flawless
listen to Mc juice. best freestyler (off the top) I've ever heard.
King Los
uzibitch1 I guess you're right there is plenty better but Eminem's a legend I went into this video having heard two kid cudi songs I didn't even expect him to rap well but he killed it
Damn this shit is so legendary still coming back all these years later 🙏🏽🙏🏽
2:13 the lights dim
2:15 "Dim them lights, get it in pimp tight"
So off the dome its not even funny
Been going back watching this for couple years and it's crazy that this is still better than many in the game today
Same thing when he says let the bass kick in a second after the bass kicks in. It always made me wonder if this was choreographed or something but I always came back to cudi being one of the best I ever heard
@@lordrob13 not choreographed at all, he's just going with whatever happens, incorporating what's going on around him lol, though thinking it's choreographed makes it even better because it's clearly not
@@jones3753 he wasn't saying anything prolific, just a good ass freestyle. It's not unbelievable that he can actually rap a little bit lol it's amazing what you get good at when that's all you do for years and years man.....
Daniel lmfao dude’s an idiot. I freestyle like this all the time. It’s not hard, Cudi knows how to freestyle
It's so crazy to think I've been listening to this man since 2007-8. 13 years. He's my all time favorite artist and to see how much of an impact he has made on not just "rap/hip hop" but music in general is just truly awesome to me.
Literally unbelievable how in control he is
And he kept it clean for the the radio
@@LoseWithLos Bro's incomparable
3:12 has been stuck in my head for about a decade. Something about “wifi skeet” is just absolutely hysterical
I love how he censors himself lol
Good guy cudi
Ditto
It was a little challenge they agreed before he started :)
He murdered this period.
I used to watch these Cudi freestyle clips back in 2009, still coming back to this in 2022. CUDI THE BEST
2:10 soo sick how lights go down and he fits it in !!!! That's talent!
hightlight of the freestyle, also when the bass kicks in and he fits in too of the first freestyle
Been revisiting this freestyle since it dropped and never caught that he referenced the base when it came in
This must be one of the best off the top freestyles I ever heard
not of the top though. 90% written :)
+Kunta92 it must be off top when they kept changing beats
Casperr xo Also when the bass kicks in at 1:15 he raps about it
Kunta92 you don’t know hip hop I guess lol. Very easy to tell when it’s a off top
LS // I guess you never heard Eminem’s Tim Westwood freestyle lol. This shit still dope af
Who’s here in 2019!? Kid Cudi killed these beats!
Cant believe this was 10 years ago
2020
I'm still there for this murder 🔥
2021😇😬
2010 was a great time. I was in high school when this dropped.
one of the only rappers that TRULY freestyles. i miss these days 😭 man on the moon kid cudi
it's 2016. I just made plans to watch this again in 2017. 🔥🔥🔥never die
2018
I’m watching it live in 09 and will see it in 2018.
now i understand why kudi is travis scott's Idol
cudi*
Maybe hes shortening Kid Cudi to Kudi, actually makes sense lmao
João Pacheco he corrected it himself, wasn’t an other person
dude there was never anyone like him b4, he started putting out such good music the year i graduated and bump him every sday. He makes albums you can put on and listen from start to finish and Most are great
Joe D.oreo Kanye didn’t exist?
Gave him some amazing beats. He flowed amazing as usual.
cant believe this came out when i was a freshman in hs.. and i still come back. gonna listen to cudderisback next
Kid cudi and bino need to have a colab both of them are really good artits as well as freestylers
Couldn't agree more
Chris Roloson that would be godly. Would not be able to turn it off
2020 and still the hottest freestyle
Trueeee
@@jesusvelazquez9825 came back to your own comment a year later lmao
Its very good but I think eminems was better
@free bee LOWKEY they tied big homie
Torey Lanez is a close second lmao
11 years later..still one of the hottest freestyles out there. And Cudi's finishing line "That was easy." 🔥🔥🔥
Kid Cudi got me the through so much when I was younger. Now I’m going through a horrible break up and he’s getting me through it. Him and Eminem! 😂 so much love for Cudi man.
even when i sinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg woahhhh woaaahhhhhhhh even when i sinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg woahhhh woaaahhhhhhhh
Lol
Lmao
Wow still one of the best freestyles I’ve heard in years 🔥🔥🔥🔥 day one fan 💯✝️
jesus this was 6 years ago holy fuuck i was in 8th grade
+Omar Elmansuri same
Haha me too man, crazy.
same
same
are u 20?
This is still to date one of the best freestyles I've ever heard. The delivery was impeccable. He was so cool and good looking back then oh man
What people need to appreciate is Cudi is actually freestyling here.. hes not reciting memorized rhymes like most people do when they “freestyle”
Best freestyle of all time
NickEdsonBasketball its not even off the top
Omaragorn It's one of the only true freestyles someone has spit on his show.
lol still not off the top
+Omaragorn I'm sure you're saying its not off the top bc he's doing good, but he even uses the things happening around him and uses it so it is
+NickEdsonBasketball This is mediocre at best compared to hopsin, logic, royce da 5'9, J cole, and Eminem
Been stuck in my head for like 10+ years.
seeing this makes me want to see Cudi do the 5 fingers of death on sway. He killed these 3 beats which were tough to flow on, he will kill the beats on Sways show as well. Hopefully pre man on the moon 3 he does a promo run and freestyles on all these radio shows
he didn’t
It was pre Man On The Moon 3 for along time
I've been watching this regularly since about 2011
Years later and I’m still shocked at how hard Kid Cudi can go.
Come back to this every now and then. Best freestyle I’ve ever heard. I think its the best freestyle the guy in the back has ever heard too
Think he's not freestyling? At 2:10 they dim the lights in the recording room and he instantly raps about it
Seen this so many times and just noticed that. Makes this 10x more bad ass.
That's what a freestyle is its what comes off the top of your head
That could of easily been staged, but is still think it's off the top
Who thinks this want freestyled with all the made up he noises he made lmao
4:32 to 4:42 this is hip hop, wit the time we r in contextually this is dope. very clever bars.
The first track was garbage for freestyling lol. "It's a little fast", Cudder's way of nicely saying "What the hell is this garbage"
Towards The Sunset seriously tho. Westwood is an idiot alot of times.
The fuckin sirens..
He still made it work
lol some club music
He murdered that shit tho. Its a classic
3:28 he even freestyled in Chinese
Been here 2009
This comment is underrated
I've watched this so many times and never noticed that...
wat?
What did he say?? I don’t want to guess and sound like a fucking piece of dog shit
Damn I'm glad I came across this again. 09/09/24... Cudi killed this. This freestyle and the one Lupe Fiasco spits on sway in the morning are my 2 absolute favorites.
This freestyle still fresh in 2024
I really learned this entire thing at 13 and here I am at 28 back to recite it again lol
I always come back to this throughout the years. Best free style I ever heard
Dude it’s 2025 and I’m still coming back to get the goosebumps with this sick track
almost 7 years later... STILL THE BEST.... pure fire, CUDDER
What bout now, 8 years later after 7 years later?
Out of all rappers he has one of the most cool-headed and chill looks
Exactly 10 years to the day and I am still watching this legendary freestyle! Big up Kid Cudi!!
15 years later when i hear Tim Westwood tv this comes to mind
Damn this brings back memories. I was in high school when this came out and I remember me and my homies would emulate the flow
Now 12 years later this is still one of my favorite freestyles. Hot damn 🔥
Only cudi would make a hook for his own freestyle. Mad respect
Damn I remember watching this freshman/sophomore year of high school. Love coming back to watching 🔥🔥🔥 Dim them lights 😎
No fr! Junior/senior year for me. I always come back to this classic. Time flies 💯
damn he flows
This freestyle is so under appreciated. I love listening to this every couple of weeks
I like the fact that he smiles when he freestyles.... Even Cudder knows he killed it!
15 years later I searched this back up just to hear cudder say " even when I sing woaahhh woahhhh "
Absolute one of top 5 freestyles i ever heard
His hair is God level
Ur profile pic has hair
Lmao
10 years later and this still one of the best.
2024 kid cudi still forever sickest freestyle, 1 of 1 if you dont get it you never will 💯🔥🔥
This is musical talent, he was born to be a musician very FEW rappers that can feel the beat and spit off the dome, sure some of his lines are memorized verses of life, but nothing is written and nothing is planned here, just feel the beat and spit. Only one on Tim Westwood to actually kill a real FREESTYLE, boy started singing, FIRE.
13 years and still nothing better than this ❤
one of the best freestyles out there 12 years later
This man is the GOAT no matter what. He created 2 different sub-genres of rap and is too unique. He also killed that mic. ❤️🐐❤️
Love it, his very personal style comes thru, not reminding me of anyone else
2018 and I’m still watching. One of off the top freestyles for the books.
You pretty much know this is a real freestyle when the lights dim and a second later says "dim them lights get it in pimp tight"
or when he says "let the bass kick in" when the bass kicked in lol
What beat is that
This is one of those rare off the dome raps. All of this was off the dome you can tell.
Versatility through the roof, this freestyle will go down in history
2018 and this is still always on my recent history list. Miss him 💕
The way he flows "cloud" with "down" just blows my mind like
14 years later and I'm driving to work.. and all of a sudden I get "from the double OH OH FROM THE DOUBLE OH" stuck in my head after hearing something similar on the radio... I could not put my finger on where I got that from but kept repeating it all day at work. Fast forward a couple of months later, this freestyle pops up on my feed. Thank you YT.. I use to watch this on weekly when I was a young lad
Dang didn't know Cudi could freestyle.
MOTM3 WHERE U AT HOMIE
SeverusHD check out the freestyle he did on dj enuff show
+severus 12/4/15
TLfreak10 what dos that mea
thats when his album comes out, silly
TLfreak10 proof
When he said RIP at 3:22 I was like “whos he bouta pay respect to” just for him to say “babygirl poonan”
This comment is still hilarious lmfaoooo
miss this cudi
Im 28 from Cincinnati Ohio was there till I was 16 almost 17. Then moved down to Florida, been here every since. I love kid Cudi's like this playlist I found is literally the kind of rap I grew up on. Aside from wiz, snoop,old school. Em.etc but cudi always was and always will be one of my favorite artists.

Miss this Cudi, he was dope. I still am a fan and have been since A Kid Named Cudi and mess with the new tracks, but I would kill for him to flow like he did on MOTM 1 and 2.
grew up to this shit. Some of the greatest music I've ever heard. I would do ANYTHING to hear this sorta stuff again.
Salmaan Javed Agreed
The reason he his music has changed so much is because he wants to be a producer way before he became a rapper, if you notice half his songs in satellite flight didn't have any words, I'm pretty sure they were his beats. But MOTM3 will be much different and will be the cudi everyone loves. But to me everything cudi does is dope! Keep it up Moon Man ✌
this dude killed it, such a talent
Never realized how garbage these beats were. Cudi was like I'll kill it anyway. Lol.
Wu Kong im having cramps in my stomach , lol , hhaa
DJ Future Screwed it cost me $300 on amazon
DJ Future Screwed ...the fuck?
DJ Future Screwed Bi polar?
DIgITal dANCIg hEY tHIS iSSS fuN
Been listening to this periodically for yearsssssss
2017 and this shit still crank. This was legendary
lmao guy in the back looking at him like "Is this guy forreal?"
Yes, sir, yes he is
Ikr that guy was pissing me off ahahaaaa
Now that's how you freestyle … and those were difficult beats to freestyle on.
man that last flow.. brings me back too when this came out and how fire it was/is.
Can't believe I watched this ten years ago man. I feel old lol
15 yrs later and that guy in the background still not sure where he at
"Yeah i was just warming up "
Guy in back at 1:55 is like "are you serious"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In a good way, he was like “damn this dude threw down a whole track as a freestyle”
Classic
