If all goes well ill be out in time for Complexcon and ill be lookin forward to seeing you all there for high fives and hugs. I wanted to square away all the business before I got here so I could focus on my recovery. The music videos, album release date etc. I wont be around to promote much, but the good folks at Republic and my manager Dennis will inform you about upcoming releases. Im scared, im sad, I feel like I let a lot of people down and again, Im sorry. Why not me? I guess I give so much of myself to others I forgot that I need to show myself some love too. I dont trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. Theres a ragin violent storm inside of my heart at all times. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. If I didn't come here, I wouldve done something to myself. Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges. It took me a while to get to this place of commitment, but it is something I have to do for myself, my family, my best friend/daughter and all of you, my fans. Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I've been living a lie. It's been difficult for me to find the words to what Im about to share with you because I feel ashamed.

Here, word for word, the letter he released last year before having himself willingly institutionalized for a short period: But it caught up with him so take the song as not only an earworm but as a cautionary tale. This life he sings about in this song is the life he would go on to live. The song is fantastic and the production and composition essentially make it the perfect pop-hip hop fusion song.ДЄnd he got what he wanted, too. So Pursuit of Happiness was early in CudiвЂ™s career and ended up, outside of Day NвЂ™ Nite, being one of CudiвЂ™s most famous tracks. You hear it once and never forget it.ДЄnd let us not forget, he stayed VERY TRUE to this song, to the point where it ended up becoming the very thing that would almost kill him. That said, the chorus and hook of this song are infectiously catchy. Thing is, Kid Cudi doesnвЂ™t spit that вЂњslap a bitchвЂќ shit, so to even hear that is jarring, as you donвЂ™t hear many lines like it from the artist (which makes it more acceptable here due to its rarity). Lyrically, it is a very minor gripe on the overall song, though. DonвЂ™t brag about it, because young, stupid, impressionable kids will now think that act is cool, and we all know that is some real bullshit.

One can understand talking up a lavish lifestyle, but when it becomes braggadocious about something that is a stupid life choice, it makes you cock your head a little. I donвЂ™t care, hand on the wheel, driving drunk IвЂ™m doing my thing. Granted, we may not have lived the Cudi life, but we lived, and that is what this song is a true testimony, too.Д«ut in the same breath, you have lines like: It hits all the chords that bring the listener back to that exact time in their own lives. Feelin lit, feeling right, 2 a.m summer night

In some ways, an anthem to living a wild life is an anthem for a downfall (which is just what we see later with CudiвЂ™s self-institutionalization), but dammit if the way he sells it isnвЂ™t appealing.Д¬rush a bit, little bit, roll it up and take a hit. This is the spot where the song both dips and shines. The lyrics just up that satisfaction, though they do hide something deeper (as most good music oft does).

It is just an easy-to-play C major to A minor to G major chord progression ,but the slick heaviness and crunchiness behind the beat just make it instantly enjoyable, earworm worthy music. That said, having a rock-based, neo-hippie band and one of the best electronic acts out there right now behind the song is what makes the melody and beat so damn catchy from the first listen. If you have not heard either of these two bands, go, find them, your life is missing some amazing music. First of all, can I just point out that Kid Cudi hand-picked the stellar production team for this song and why he hasnвЂ™t used this squad for a whole record I still donвЂ™t know, but the band MGMT provide the music with Ratatat also behind production.
