(MUSIC VIDEO) KID CUDI - MARIJUANA (OFFICIAL)


Cudi released a video for “Marijuana,” a live-staple from his last rap album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. To some, it could feel like he’s hedging his bets, as if he’s anticipating the negative feedback to “Perfect” and presenting “Marijuana” as a reminder that he’s still Kid Cudi, rapper. But to me, it’s a goodbye to the past. Recently, Cudi announced he had stopped smoking weed, a huge piece of his rapper persona (“the lonely stoner seems to free his mind” was his unofficial mantra). His reason was admirable – desire for a clear mind in dealing with business and as a new parent – but fans reacted as fans do, selfishly, like Cudi was abandoning them and their common bond of being stoned together.
