Rating The Kid Cudi Setlist

By Kira Yurchenko

As a veteran Kid Cudi fan and someone going to his concert this year, I personally think I’m qualified to rank his set list for The Rebel Ragers tour! I’ll organize each section by album, the set has 31 songs. Enjoy!

Free

  1. Echoes Of the Present
  • Okay, calm little instrumental beat
  • I mean, its alright, I’m not sure if people consider this an actual song on the list
  • If I would rate it I’d give it a 7/10, it’s not exactly easy to rate
  • Nice little start to the setlist, I guess
  1. Mr. Miracle
  • I don’t really like the start of the song, the beat feels off to me
  • I like the song a little better after the start, I don’t like how the instrumentals cut out before the Mr. Miracle parts
  • It’s not bad at all, I just think I don’t like the vibe of the song
  • 7/10, its just meh, not good but not terrible
  1. Grave
  • Love this intro
  • The flow of the lyrics is so, so good
  • Definitely a different vibe from his other songs, but I loveee this one
  • The end is okay, I like around the middle of the song
  • 8/10, final rating is that I love this song I just wish there was a little switch up in the lyrics every now and then
  1. Opiate
  • I absolutely adore this song, holy peak
  • The song makes me feel so in the moment, its crazy
  • The vibes are immaculate, no notes

Neverland

  1. Neverland
  • Loveee the the little vavreowww at the start
  • Amazing vibes, makes me feel all up beat and stuff
  • I like how it goes from intense to calm again
  • 8/10, its not my favorite but its a great song
  • One thing I will say is that it gets boring after a few plays
