Post hypebeast era Cudi has zero fashion sense (confirmed with his brand attempts Members of the Rage and WZRD) so it's hilarious that he thinks he can be like Ye and be successful in fashion

True. I guess in a 21st century context there’s more terrain to travel as an artist (?) not making excuses for it.

Artist tend to be full of themselves

i deadass forgot he used to be fashion inspo to me before like 2017

he lost the sauce so fast smh

Same bro haha he had some iconic fits

Bape / Nike Yeezys / Jordan 3s / Cleveland Indians hat / leather jackets / APC / Surface 2 Air / glasses

Now he has zero fashion aura

I wonder why

It's not like he doesn't have access to amazing pieces

He lost the Ye stimulus

It's like Kim's fits pre and post-Ye

he had his time as a fly nigga but I feel like his fashion ‘impact’ is overblown

Bape is popular now because of Cudi (and Ye/Wale/etc) just like how Supreme is popular because of Tyler (and Rocky)

Out of everything he mentioned in that tweet Cudi has the greatest chance at success in acting (I think he's been a solid actor so far)

I didn't even realize he's capable of painting and his fashion taste is trash now and even his music has been hit or miss

I'm convinced that the stroke that he had a few years ago impacted his ability to be creative

Pre-rehab he was a different artist

fair enough, I just think he had his moment in the sun like any other fly rapper

I think Supreme has too many cultural references to pin it to specific individuals. It was going to get to where it got imo.

Bape is for sure Pharrell and then Wayne imo.

Yea I feel you I just think that when you look at conremporary hypebeast fashion Cudi is def in the top 5 in terms of shaping the landscape along with Ye / Virgil / Rocky / Tyler / Pharrell

For sure I just think that Tyler always rocking the bogo hoodies/hats is what really exposed it to the mainstream audience it has today

"Wayne / Clipse / Pharrell walked so Cudi could run" is the way I see it

They established Bape's presence in rap but Cudi was the one who helped establish the hypebeast archetype of the 2010s

he had a stroke??

Gilbert Arenas, in a now-deleted post, described Michael Jordan as "just basketball," while expressing a desire to be remembered across multiple creative fields:

"Michael was the greatest, but he was just basketball. Im thinkin more than basketball. I wanna be known as one of the greatest becuz of my range creatively in media. Podcasts, comedy, media, etc.”

I’ll always credit him for the Laser 4 obsession niggas use to have & just 4’s in general

Yea when he was in rehab in 2016

"The stroke caused temporary slowed speech and movement, and he spent several months in physical rehab to recover."

Besides Kids See Ghosts I feel like he hasn't been the same as an artist since that

Even his singing technique is different

He need to stay off that dope

100% Cudi is the reason why dudes were rocking black cement 3s and Jordan 4s

Ye revived the 1s and even 6s and 8s but Cudi gets credit for the 4s

No one can touch MJ, and I prolly listen to Cudi more in my adult life than Mike.. but this is just another goofy moment by Cudi. I wish he would stop doing it to himself. I’m happy he’s happy and sober but Sober Cudi does and has said some insufferable s***.

Niggas Kinda gassing this tweet tho because yall just don’t like Cudi lol yeah he’s wrong about MJ being “just music” but all he’s saying is he wants to be known for range.
