Kid Cudi's double album Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven finally made its way into the digital hands of hungry fans on Friday, marking one of the most dramatic creative departures in the successful multi-hyphenate's career. Though the album's singles would appear to have made Cudi's intentions to deliver a full-on rock album quite clear, some apparently didn't get the message. For reasons beyond his control, Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven also managed to get classified as "hip-hop/rap" on various platforms, an apparently forced move that Cudi was quick to clarify:
Some fans, however, simply aren't keen on their favorite artist working to expand their arsenal of creativity. Cudi's hearing them too, but is thankfully determined to keep the experimentation moving forward:
Earlier this week, Cudi revealed plans to cancel his previously announced Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven tour, citing production issues. "I got a lot im dealing with at this time in my personal life too," Cudi added, "and in order for the shows to be the best experience possible as well as keeping my sanity intact, I need to regroup. I have to."
