KID CUDI - INSANO (NITRO MEGA) / 2024 / REPUBLIC / PSYCHEDELIC TRAP
5/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
If Cudi just took the best tracks of both these albums and released it as a singular Insano album it would’ve been a solid 7/10 album in my books
What are the best tracks from both
7/10 is too low imo, with tracks like wow, human made, Superboy, blue sky, all my life, and win or lose the combined album could be at least an 8
@@user-iv9xg5nv1t horrible bait
insano already a 7/10
@@xxXsweetprincessboth albums 9/10
A 0, a 10, and now a 5. Kid Cudi, king of inconsistency.
Consistently inconsistent is consistency
kid cudi is a median
When did he get a 10? KSG?
lol inconsistency based on a shitty rating scale off some dude's opinion. wack
@@Brandon0828 damn, look at that cool guy. mom look, think I could ever be this cool one day?
The albums together is kind of like a Cudi party playlist. He’s on record saying his goal with these albums was to make a collection of upbeat, up tempo bangers for the fans to turn up to at shows. More positive and fun vibes than usual, is what it seems he was going for, for better or worse.
Or he could just sing day n nite
how bout that!
You’re right but on this track list he pulls that off without sounding too one note and derivative. While insano had its highlights most of the tracks sounded the same, even the trap cuts I enjoyed.
The Nitro Mega mix actually sees some change of paces here and there, from better pulling off old Cudi vibes with a new sound, to including loosies where I enjoyed Dose Of Dopeness, to taking what was attempted with Insano but just executing it in a more exciting way.
I feel at least a 7 on this one and it could grow on me more over time vs Insano. I’d def rate this album at or even above Entergalactic.
@@grenade_guynothing wrong with new music. I know he's tired of performing that song.
This version was way better than whatever we got
I just dropped the coldest song of the year!! 🥶
@@MusicMilesYTif by cold you mean the opposite of hot, yes.
1000%
@@MusicMilesYT For sure, because you did not cook whatsoever 😒
If it was called To Pimp a Nitro Mega it would be a 10/10
Dose of dopeness brought me back crazy
I just dropped the coldest song of the year!! 🥶

Same

I liked this part of ISANO more. Classic Kid Cudi sound on this version of this album.
On bibbly wibbly
Thumbs up for a comment about the music
I’ve seen this take a lot. Doesn’t really seem like an album to me like Insano did, but some good tracks here.
@@coleparzych201 that’s a fair assessment. Not gonna lie it seems more like loose tracks/b-sides.
@@steezygraytripplesgamer7641 100%. As a life long Cudi fan, I appreciate the diversity of genres he gave us. Music for every mood.
This album goes insano style
Insano nitro mega style
A few duds on the album, but the highs on this one are much higher than insano. Some super catchy melodies, and you can hear elements of all of Cudi’s sounds throughout his career.
Signature hums are BACK. Great album imo
5/10
@@djusdjthis music clearly isn't for you then
anthony is 39 saying “its giving”
Smh dude is cringe
GAY ASF
I feel like with this one he didn’t try as hard to sound contemporary and it is a lot better for it
‘Everybody Like’ is easily one of my favorite songs by him, the bass is so so sick.
Thumbs up for a comment about the music
Cudi was trolling on the willis song 😂😂😂
crazy how it’s going over peoples heads
its such a joke song and people taking it seriously lmao
Kanye: poopity scoop. Poopity scoop.
Makes no sense, he literally introduces the song saying it’s an intermission. Guess people forgot about skits in rap albums bc it’s been too long idk
Willis is unintentionally one of the funniest songs I’ve ever heard in my life
I mean it was meant to be funny, Willis is an alter ego he made up way back to literally be a goofy old man (he even references it in indicud multiple times)
It's very intentional though lol it's two friends fucking around making each other laugh in the studio freestyling.
@@edd8390 idk was I like the only one who picked up on the reference? Or did people just think Cudi saying "WILLYYYYY" was just like an adlib or smth
Felt intentionally funny
Willis is fire
I’ve only listened to it a few times but anyone else like Superboy?
Hell yeah, it’s one of my favorites from the project. That beat along with cudi’s vocals is magical
As a long time listener it’s one of my fave Cudi tracks
That outro put me in a trance the last time I listened to it
BEST Track on it
Agreed. Superboy seemed to have that vintage Cudi aura about it that compelled me to keep that particular song on repeat as opposed to listening to the rest of Nitro Mega
Liked it more than the main album. Finally hearing him with Wiz and Bone Thugs along with the Chip reunions was really great for me to hear as a fan
This has some of my favorite Cudi songs in probably 10 years and some old bangers some people probably haven't heard before. I like this so much more then Insano
kid cudi has made a comeback once again
Never fell off
@@bootysensei never been up
@@nickyheart while I dont think he's comeback, acting like MOTM 1&2 and KSG aren't some of the best and most influential albums of the decade is just being bias.
@@bootysenseifell off big
@@ripHikuto be fair those projects are the ones where other people were doing A LOT of the heavy lifting. Case in point he's never had any project larger than the ones you mentioned when he works alone.
CUDDERISBACK vibes only getting better since 2008
Wishing that was on INM also...
the opener is so strong
Soooo annoying 😂 melon is so pompous now
His live reaction of Human Made is nothing but praise for the track but here he says its a throwaway?? in that live he loves every track so not sure why he gets so negative here
Cudi can never get any credit for some reason
It's giving "Oooh I can't stand the mixing 🤓"
@@edd8390fr the mix is fine the music is enjoyable
Anthony Fantano is an official cudi hater. He cant admit that he’s just not a fan instead he goes “the mixing is bad. Vocals fall flat” he says the same BS for every cudi review
@@swagdaws8824 thats the thing. the vocals do not fall fall flat in this project
FANTA'S ears are broken. He done ruined them. Cudi absolutely cooked on this album. Along with INSANO.
Cudi x Chip on Willis is lowkey fire ngl
massive AKNC vibes.
I thought this. Like it was so funky it was good
Antonio Fantaner why are you posting at 12:35 AM you krazy kat
Fantano is definitely an interesting critter for sure.
NITRO MEGA > INSANO
Was nice to finally hear Cudi not drowning in autotune for the most part lol
Kid cudi will probably have an album for all ten ranks
This album really goes insano style😊
Bro really doesn’t understand that Cudi and Chip were just having fun on Willis
I’m not listening to a man who said sexy redd makes better music than Kanye.
Thank you for giving your opinion and backing it up with points that were super well thought out. I really appreciate the fact that you don’t just say “I don’t like this” - you always give a reason that is well explained and fair without being disrespectful to the artist. Cudder, in this case, who you previously gave a 10 to. Overall a well executed review. Because of all of this I am unfortunately going to have to report your channel for being racist. Sorry melon.
Fucking hell you actually had me until the end lol
When I listened to dose of dopeness it unlocked a hidden memory I used to bump that song back in the day!!! Wish Cudi would do something like Drake did with Care Package and re release some of his older songs that aren’t on streaming services
This album the best he sounded in years and years
I was looking forward to this review, I loved this second part of the album. It made me so happy when I first played going into the gym.
I’m a little shocked you uploaded this video and decided to call him “Kid Cudi” when I’m pretty sure his name is pronounced “Jobe”. Still hyped as always for that Jobe Mark II review!
Win or lose is one of cudis best songs
I thought you would love Willis
Now do the MGMT
I've been waiting for the review lol I'm hoping they get a 10
@@tacoychewbacame too but I am just going to preface it by saying I don’t think Fantano is going to rank this album as high, based on my judgement of his taste in music lol. It surely deserves it tho
Oh man I love Loss of Life!!
@@thescoobymike me too man, curious how melon will rate it. Personally I love this album a lot more than LDA
THIS
On shrooms this album is god tier 🥹
Came here just to see how he felt about Willis. Now I can disregard his opinion entirely for hating the best song in the past decade.
In all seriousness i love the old school R&B stoner vibes on the track. I do agree its Chip's weakest feature on this album but he really shines on this album and i was vibing with what he did on this track as well
Anthony taking precious time out of our day to not review MGMT
Please review the new Friko album 😭
I was already surprised you didn’t review Porches or The Whaler. You even gave Reason’s other album a review, and the new one was actually good.
Review timestamps:
Intro: 0:00
Outro: 8:17
Thanks for watching.
wow very funny 🥰🥰🥰 tee hee
The fact Anthony will entirely digest and give great ratings to garbage rappers with “party albums” and then critique people like Gambino and Cudi on their party songs and dismiss them even with great vocals and instrumentals in comparison to the others he praises… IDK, not sure Anthony is great with rap music tbh
I am a better music rater than you bud
Looking forward to the light 8 for INSANO (Nitro Mega [Super Lit Space Sensual {Moon on the Man}]) in May.
Cudi is at his best when he’s melodic and I hope recognizes that for his next project
Honestly it’s a fire album
you gotta give jpro an album review when it drops on friday
Chunky fucking slaps
I looked at the last bits of work as a more happier Cudi, having some fun, nothing serious, just good vibes
I really liked this album despite its many flaws. Probably my favourite of this year so far
I personally love this deluxe album, I give it a 8.5
Trolling us about that mgmt album with that thumbnail
Now if Kid Cudi wants every score 0-10, he needs to get a 1, an 8 and a 9. And if you're asking about the 2/10, he gave Indicud a 2 on RYM.
Anthony, you should review the new MGMT and "where we've been, where do we go from here" by Friko
Thing with kid cudi lateley is that his motm series was relatable and had that vibe to it , insano and entergalctic dont have the relatable vibe or that classic kid cudi sound , i fell in love with his music in indicud and insano just aint that
Was not a fan of Insano but LOVE Nitro Mega, Chunky and Animate don't get enough love.
This album was sick
Well a 5 is definitely a improvement
Hey could you look at the album “When we were Younger” by Grentperez. It is a fun latin and jazz influenced album from 2023 and it has may favorite song of the year “When the day is done”
Which insano album did yall like better (Insano) or( Insano Nitro Mega)
How do you not love dose of dopeness bro smh 🤦🏻♂️
He not a real music head just a trendy wannabe, shitting on dope pieces of art and the ppl who made it, probably listened to it once over and made the review
This is so much better than Insano. Nitro improves in every way to sounding more like what I want from Cudi.
**insert funny anthony said this thing about the album that he didn’t actually say joke here**
If the album was called "Kids See Insano" you would've given it a 10
Can't wait for the sicko ultra giga insano album
Lmfaooo I had to hear him talk about Willis. “Ray Charles high out of his skull comes to mind” 😂
This record was wayyyyy better than Insano. A lot of classic Cudi on here and i loved it!
Feels like the comparison we all have made with INSANO is why everyone is enjoying NITRO MEGA more
Dose of Dopeness made me feel like a kid again, haven't heard that in a minute. Back was when Cudi wasn't a narcissist, just a dude who had a few hits.
How is he a narcissist
cant explain how happy i am to finally hear some OG cudi come out again
This goes Insaneo Style!!
Captain insano shows no mercy
Kid Cudi went INSANO on both projects y'all really have to dive into the album!
Fr. His reviews get a -5/10 and so does those glasses.
this review goes insaneo style
If it was called To Pimp an Insan fuck i need a hobby man whatever i dont care cool album i guess i dont know anymore
Ngl I like Cudi doing Travis more than Travis doing Travis
Truly don’t understand how people still listen to his views 😂
4+5 = 9 so technically insano got a 9/10! congrats Kid Cudi!
"Chunky" is straight vibes to me honestly, I find myself putting it on repeat like I used to with "Feds Did A Sweep" by future years ago
Great review
Where Loss of Life review?
In my opinion INSANO 1 is better, there might be some higher moments on NITRO MEGA but as a whole the original feels way more like an actual album experience. I also feel like there’s no track that tops Blue Sky from the original.
I really feel like when it comes to cudi you are just always off the mark. Every time you listen to a Cudi album it gets better you recognize the genius more every listen. I usually agree with your reviews but not when it comes to Cudi.
insano style just like penguinz0
up!
Kid Cudi has been at a loss as to what to write since after Indicud. His music has consistently gone down hill with each release.
Giving him a 5 is one thing. But calling him KID COOCHI over and over and over again is unwarranted Fantano!!!!
Not even a mention of Chunky or Superboy. Wow
If it had been titled To Pimp a Nitro Mega Insano Butterfly, you would've given at least 8/10
Anyone else here replay the first two seconds of fantano's videos because of the funny noises he makes?
if you don’t upload your mgmt review within the next 2 days i’m gonna relapse
If it was called Insano See's Ghosts To Heaven you would've given it a 10
or an ♾
"Captain Insano shows No Mercy"
-Captain Insano
This beginning ! Lol I feel high!
Interesting album review.
This doesn’t look like an MGMT review👎
How does he not see Willis as satire lol? I think kid cudi just had fun with this project and it ended up actually making the album way better
Fantano please review Case Dismissed by BabyTron
This trend of dropping an entire new album as a deluxe of another album needs to stop. Especially when the normal version of the album already has over 20 songs
the irony is the deluxe better than the main album
how is this a problem? like is just another album with the same concept, nothing disgraceful at all
@@zen4535 he could have held onto it for another year, worked on it and then dropped it as a completely separate and better album
@@ThunderSpecialsome of the songs aren’t new
@@zen4535 Because he could work on one album at a time and, like, make it actually good. Also, for a guy who leans so much on emotion and personal growth in his lyrics, it's better if his albums are more spaced out and have distinct themes imo
