When you think about rappers who embrace reinventing themselves, Kid Cudi is the first that comes to mind. One of the biggest stars to emerge from hip-hop’s blog era, Cudi broke out with “Day ʻNʼ Nite” and his impactful A Kid Named Cudi mixtape, both of which impressed his mentor Kanye West, who later tapped Cudi to work on his seminal 808s & Heartbreak album and has called him “the most influential artist of the past 10 years.” A decade later, Cudi has maintained a ubiquitous presence in hip-hop for his innovation and brilliance.
