FAQ/BIO: Kids See Ghosts is the eponymous debut studio album by American hip hop duo Kids See Ghosts, composed of rapper/producers Kanye West and Kid Cudi. It was released on June 8, 2018, through Wicked Awesome Records and GOOD Music, and distributed by Def Jam Recordings. Prior to release, West and Cudi became collaborators in 2008, and expressed a desire to record a collaborative album. However, one had not materialized and the duo experienced brief fallings-out in 2013 and 2016. After reuniting a year later, the first studio sessions for the album began.
Guest contributions are included on Kids See Ghosts from Pusha T, Yasiin Bey, and Ty Dolla Sign, as well as a vocal sample of Louis Prima, who is credited posthumously as a featured artist. The duo mostly handled the production, with further contributions by Dot da Genius, Mike Dean, Evan Mast, Plain Pat, BoogzDaBeast, Benny Blanco, and Noah Goldstein, among others. The album was the third of five albums produced by West in Jackson Hole as a part of the "Wyoming Sessions", each being released weekly in the summer of 2018. It succeeded the release of Pusha T's Daytona and West's Ye, while preceded the release of Nas' Nasir and Teyana Taylor's K.T.S.E.
Commentators noted the genre of Kids See Ghosts as a fusion of psychedelic and hip hop. The lyrical content includes references to mental health issues, which West had suffered from previously. The cover art was designed by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami; he based it on Hokusai's landscape print series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The album received widespread acclaim from music critics, who pointed out the chemistry of West and Cudi in praise, while some noted an improvement from West's past work. It was named as one of the best albums of 2018 by many publications, while ranked among decade-end lists for the 2010s of a few publications.
Kids See Ghosts debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, standing as West's 10th top-five album and Cudi's 6th top-five album in the United States. It also attained top-five positions in eight other countries, including Canada and Estonia. A number of the tracks charted in various countries, including "Reborn" and "4th Dimension". Kids See Ghosts have performed live for the album since release with performances at the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

i think the ksg cover is one of the covers that somehow looks exactly how the music sounds and I think that adds a lot to an album
Ever listen to bladee
@@whalenaidan6555 🤯
@@whalenaidan6555 no i listen to good music
@@whalenaidan6555 hell no
Flawless album in every aspect to me
I just really want to see a second kids see ghosts project
Adolescents View Phantoms
@@LikeFourOrFiveOtherNames lol
Nah, it's a complete artwork that's embedding in history. A second part could ruin it or break the wholeness of the first album, i think
@@julianmax156 I feel like since they gave themself a title it’s bound to go on. Most collab tapes are just the 2 artists credited rather than giving themselves a name. Idk
pretty sure Cudi even said that Kanye really wanted to make a 2nd KSG right after they released it, but other then that nothing came of it
This album (like all of Cudi’s albums) holds a special place in my 💜
Even speeding bullet?
@@louijienapone5494 can't appreciate the highs fully without the lows

@@louijienapone5494 I take them all into my heart
It's my first video in a month, run it up!

I gave my friend a KSG vinyl and he almost cried, it was a beautiful moment

I saw the painting at 3:42 and thought that it resembled the style of graduation a lot, both Takashi Murakami and Kanye are geniuses in their field.
easily my fav volksgesit video! keep it up
Love your stuff whoever left this comment
I just want to tell you that you are a genius for the aspect ratio of your videos, it wasn’t until I showed this video to someone on my phone that I saw how beautiful the video looks on a phone screen.
Thank you!
Kids see ghosts is perfect in every aspect.
This is my favorite album cover of all time! Thanks for making a video on it !
• keep moving forward, keep moving forward, keep moving forward •
ayeee those titles are so much better man
I couldn’t possibly imagine what might inspire someone to make those sculptures
so much detail and research in this! You are appreciated
Im just glad we got one KSG project and that Cudi and Ye are on good terms💙
Dope vid bro
WYOMING SESSIONS is the most underrated Ye ERA! KSG best to come out of that though!
Daytona????
@@shayshayshayshayshayshayshay SECOND BEST! YE THIRD NAS NEXT AND TEYANA .. ALL OF EM SOLID CLASSICS IMO
@@cultinwoods3993 ye overrated as hell it’s got so much filler. Also you tryna say Nasir is a classic?
@@Nobody15534 i take it back, i did another couple listen throughs. I would say All Mine and Wouldn’t Leave are filler, the rest is good-great. Best song is Ghost Town, which doesn’t crack my top 10 Kanye songs.
This is a really good concept for a series. Keep it up man!
The moment I saw the cover, it gave me flashbacks to that one episode of Sonic X that had the ghosts, same eyes and everything.
This album (like all of Kanye’s albums) holds a special place in my 💜
Fun fact: this is volksgeists 100th video
We really need a KSG 2😭
This album saved my life
Thanks for blessing us, King 🙌🏾
Really one of the greatest albums oat
I love this series keeping doing more album cover stories
This project was a godsend
love this series so much!

Ur mom is how it’s made cuh

This album cover art its just amazing
If my great grand dad came back to life he'd be proud Kanye,homie lives life to the max
This a video I didn't even know I needed. Bless you Volksgeist. Bless you
Quality content as usual!
Sheesh I want another one
KSG genuinely has the best album cover of all time
This might sound weird but I love the aspect ratio of the video
That square aspect ratio, was a great choice!
May I ask what mic you use? Sounds really crisp and clean!
@@ravenitz ok
@@ravenitz which one of the good ones?
Kids see ghost cover is my favorite part of the album
I love how the video is in the aspect ratio of an album cover, nice touch
The fact that your channel is putting out arguably the best most detailed content on this app and only has 300K subscribers is straight up disrespectful
Probably would have more if his videos were formatted right
I really like this aspect ratio
Phenomenal video, loved it
Let's Go! I missed u bro :)
Question what happen to the everywhere at the end of time video?
GUYS DONT LOOK UP TAKASHI MURAKAMI STATUE
Wow,i searched it and wow
Great vid
I know not many people will agree with me but KSG is the greatest Hip Hop album of all time
Upload more often ♨️♨️
Saw a parody of essay videos and damn it was accurate. Still loved this tho.
Kanye put hip-hop onto Murakami.
interestin screen ratio for this video
Great video
That’s a great essay!
Woah, this is neat neat!
I was not expecting you to look like that
Nice video but you could’ve mentioned the background was from the mount fiji series👍🏼

This dude looks like Narduwar's hipster son.
Mmmm. MMMM! That aspect ratio
And Volky came late to the 4:3 joke, as expected.
amazing video, i'll have to check out the rest of his art!
love the writing on this one, encapsulated what i loved about the work
Let’s gooooooo
Very good
He seems pretty peeved about losing ww2 tbh
Why did you put the video in this aspect ratio?
Isn’t it 1:1 like the album cover?
dude what is this aspect ratio
7:45 this music!!! What is it?
I realy liked the video, but I feel like you were maybe talking a littel bit to fast at some points ((imo)) or like trying to read the telepromter really quickly soooooo maybe try talking a bit slower next time.? Otherwise realy cool visuals and a interesting script.
Why the square video?
Where's the episode 1?
what's the background instrumental
what happend on the first episode?
donda next please
Why does he look like Adam Friedland
I do not look like that greasy weirdo
@@Volksgeist made my day, props to you
@@spuhgeddy2971 lol
nice
Did Volksgeist delete half of his videos? Where’s the ‘Atheism is Dead’ video???? I saw it advertised on a Nine Inch Nails video he narrated...
Using your face as something to show while you talk but have no images to show without being slow or clunky or jarring?
Great work. I don't really know a lot of terms but I hope you understand
yessir
Aspect ratio is wack.
That mustache is not it
one thousand
Commenting for algo
why is this video square
Comment to please the algorithm
Not a fan of square on UA-cam at all. If I’m watching on a monitor, TV, tablet or any 16:9 display, in full screen, I lose about 40% of my screen’s real-estate; on a phone which are typically even wider than 16:9, it’s exacerbated - no matter what orientation or device I use, I’m getting HUGE black bars on my display. Furthermore, if on mobile (iOS, idk about others), when I try and head into the comments to read whilst watching the video, the youtube player compresses the video down upon scroll down so I’m only getting the middle 16:9 part of your video, meaning I’m losing out on a LOT of your frame. So I can’t comfortably read the comments, and I ALSO can’t comfortably watch in full screen either. Maybe if this were a facebook video or a tweet, but UA-cam’s design seems super antithetical to square media, even sometimes squishing square community post photos to 16:9.
Lol the fuck are you talking about?
@@th3on3thatb3atu the aspect ratio of this video and how it’s not optimised for the platform and leads to poor viewer experience.
Necesito esto en español
the fuck is this aspect ratio
Would love to see one of these for Phoebe Bridgers punisher
discord gang
Creeps me out how he looks "above me" in the camera. Should look more directly. Else, great video!!
This is so hard to watch
