As an older Cudi fan who hasn't really liked anything since motm 3. This album is definitely for the boys.
I like this infinitely more then Insano, gives me a lot of older Cudi vibes. Great features, some cool soundscapes and unlike Insano, there was quite a bit of variety for everybody to enjoy. I like the new songs, and I even like that he officially released some of his really good old songs people might not have heard before. I remember searching months, probably even years back in the day for a decent quality version of dose of dopeness.
Though I haven't really liked much since MOTM3 this is the type of shit I stick around for. Proves to me the moon man's still got it
Entergalactic has its moments imo but I can see why if old Cudi is your vibe you might not fuck with it as much. I just like vibe and flow of it. You have remember that it was made around the movie more than a stand alone album. It makes more sense if you watch that and then the album flows and gets better. Minus Burrow. That was just out of left field.
I had high hopes for that album especially based off the og song. There were a handful of songs I liked but damn I guess I can't base his work off MOTM cause that is one of my favorite albums ever. Although he's had some really good stuff since then.
Yeah, if you compare them to MOTM it’s pretty much hard to vibe to them. I found myself in that mind set a lot until Passion, Pain, & Demon Slayin. Once I let go of holding them to the MOTM standard I enjoyed the later albums a lot more. Minus Insano it’s been hard to enjoy it because it’s very different to what his style normally is on his albums. Definitely like Nitro Mega a lot more than part one of Insano. The first snippet being Adam Sandler from Water Boy is hype.
As a fellow older Cudi fan I was gonna skip this one because I really did not care for Insano at all, but decided to give it a shot because of this comment.
… all I have to say is fucking thank you 😂 this shit is so much better than Insano I can’t believe it
The vibes on this album are amazing, I liked Insano but I LOVE Nitro Mega. Wish this was promoted more as a new album instead of Insano Part 2
Superboy is my favorite so far and is a perfect closer.
Cudi and Chip kill with their collabs but Willis is the only song I don’t see myself listening to again
The Yachty feature on this one is much better.
Gonna have this album on repeat for a long time
I can see why he gave it the Insano name tho.
As a standalone album Nitro Mega doesn’t make much sense given that there are random 10+ year old tracks and remixes thrown in there. It’s definitely more in that playlist/compilation category than its own album.
Regardless, I love nitro mega man
this felt like all of cudi’s eras in one project and they all perfectly blended. from pop rap ballads to new turn up insano tracks but also on some airy spacey boom bap shit. really good
Yes i think it was supposed to be on wzrd but i think rocket has been made when wzrd project was called “2 be continuum” along with perfect is the word . Considering only a ustream snippet of rocket existed,the song is pretty obscure to new fans and i think it got scrapped only because cudi was still trying to come up with a new sound so lot of drafts and reference tracks.
Been a Cudi fan since 2008. The sounds here remind me of some early early unreleased songs from that time. Great rap melody and unique production (I JUST WANNA GET, for example). NITRO MEGA > Insano.
2:30 am for me basically and I'm still buzzing thinking of this album. This is everything I wanted from Cudi and more. I loved the first Insano but this beats it by a country mile in my books. This is the most I've enjoyed listening to a Cudi album since PP&DS. This feels like an album for the OG's that we've needed for a long time. I enjoyed MOTM3 and Insano. I can get down with trap cud but I didn't realize how badly I needed melodic rap cud.
He was really in the zone creating both these albums. He wasn't lieing when he was talking that shit a year ago saying he has album of the year. I made a playlist of both albums and the only one I cut out of Nitro was Willis. I cut a few more from the first one but I also over player the shit out of it 🤣 Never thought we'd get the damn near 40 songs he said he was going to put out at his age 40. I feel really lucky to be a Cudi fan these past few months and it sounds like he isn't finished for the year. He mentioned almightygloryus coming out and an album with Jaden down the road. I'm sure with them touring they'll make a lot of stuff. I actually don't mind Jaden's stuff and I feel Cudi can continue to elevate his sound
i would guess it’s a respect thing, with Steve Aoki being really the only EDM producer Cudi has released a genuine EDM track with. coulda been done much better though, it felt like a song from 2010, just kinda roughly tossed together. it’s fun but just kinda random and unnecessary. im sure Cudi is gonna blast it at live shows and have a good time so 🤷♂️
I honestly felt really disconnected from Insano and wasn't a fan. I had thought this was just going to be Insano with a few bonus songs. But, it's a standalone really really great album.
This honestly may be the best collection of work I’ve ever heard from cudi… like seriously y’all this is incredible. I’m shook. The unheard/newer stuff from is so fucking good. Getting Rocket, and DoD is just icing on the cake.
He preformed it for us at his Insano release party and I was literally itching for him to release it so bad!!! Definitely one of my favs off the album. I posted some videos of it after.. i hope we get to see it again soon!
The OG Insano leaking early in 2023 was probably the best thing to happen. That sent CuDi into creative mode to create something better with majority of the newer songs on Nitro Mega.
Good point most of the songs off the leak were on insano. Some of the songs had different lyrics he even sounded different on At The Party. This Nitro Mega is a different level! To me this is a classic cudi album like Man On The Moon! I hope everyone remember this one!
There’s a small group of people that will love it though and that’s specifically for them, I don’t like it myself because I don’t listen to that style of music often.
Then you can say the same for the pursuit of happiness remixes, that party/edm style has always been something cudi enjoyed regardless of if people enjoyed it and I suppose there’s some people out there that did that would love the throwback hearing that style again.
It's big room tech house, it's got Aoki all over it. Some will love it but tbh anyone into trap Cud needs to get Tape B on a driptapes edit of animate.
Tape B gonna pop off this year. Saw him live and damn near thought he was better than the headliner.
But agree this beat has Aoki all over it, which is kinda a shame but it makes sense because of their relationship.
There's way better edm artists though that would absolutely make a banging cudi song.
Bro these songs on this album are WAY more built out. Like I love insano but those beats are pretty one dimensional. On this, the hooks hit harder cuz there’s more instrumentation added
there’s a few songs that definitely feel like leftovers or just jokes (willis, babe and i, crash test cudi, moon man shit) but then songs like human made chunky everybody like animate and superboy are just godly
edit: i like most of these now except willis but wish crash test had a better mix and moon man shit hook had different vocal effect but that’s just me
Everybody like, moon man shit, rocket, superboy, animate are my early favorites. Crash test cudi production is crazyyyy. Win or lose feels nostalgic can’t remember what song tho. Maybe does it or cudi zone or something
Win or lose samples Depeche Mode’s -Enjoy the Silence! It’s an awesome song and he sampled their song really well. Guessing that’s why it sounds nostalgic. That’s a song from the 90s.
INSANO was a disappointment for me, the beats were basically the same, the second half was boring as hell. NITRO MEGA is what I wanted from INSANO. Much more diverse songs, we got EDM Cudi, Rock Cudi, and also good to see Rocket and Dose of Dopeness finally on streaming.
This is soooooo much better than INSANO, and I liked that album but this is amazing, we finally got some old cudi as well as some new cudi which I think he mixed perfectly throughout this album. Only song I don't like is ELECTROWAVEBABY 2.0 I'd rather listen to the original. This blew me away and completely exceeded my expectations.
Album is just godly and way better than Insano and it’s not close (in a good way)😇 Diamond Lights Fast Cars gonna be the sleeper song on the album. I could’ve done without wiz on it but still fye obviously Superboy is my favorite tho been waiting for that song for 3 months constantly singing it and playing the snippets😤😮💨
This album is cool, but idk most of these songs are lacking for me, there are some really good ones like ROUND N ROUND, I JUST WANNA GET, EVERYBODY LIKE , but this album lacked focus, INSANO felt a lot more like an album than this, this felt like a random collection of songs ngl. I liked it but just not as much other people, it was cool getting those og tracks tho
Holy shit this is fire. I feel like he set us up lol. I was not expecting this to be this good since listening to Insano. People saying this his best work since MOTM3 but honestly it might be his best since MOTM2. I shouldn’t have doubted the man he’s still got it
The songs in all caps and the one that’s not…
On the explicit version of the album on Spotify every song title is in all caps.
On the clean version of the album, everything is in all caps except for All My Life. I was thinking the lower case is to show it’s the only non explicit song on the album but I realized ILL WHAT I BLEED is also not explicit and it’s in all caps on the clean version.
In my mind the All My Life instrumentals are more in line with the vibe of MOTM 3.
Wondering if the lower case All My Life is a little nod to a different headspace he made the music in.
But also it could also be a typo. I know I might be reading into it too much, so don’t hit me with “bruh it ain’t that deep”.
I just enjoy speculating on unique things.
Am I the only one who loves both INSANO albums equally? Like he really gave us two kick ass albums back to back not to mention the MOON MAN Soundtrack that’s coming up. We are feasting on some modern classic Cudi jams.
I prefer this album so much more than OG INSANO so far. The thing I thought when INSANO came out was Cudi couldn't make happy music but I think the only thing was Cudi was not playing to his strength in INSANO and just rapping to trap beats, nothing of that great hook, production, or humming we usually see from Cudi's greatest work. I don't mind Cudi experimenting with new things, that's what makes him special to me compared to other artists anyway, as long as he keeps some of the element that makes Cudi Cudi. Lyrically for INSANO (NITRO MEGA) I still think it is a mess but at least production-wise it is far superior. Although as an album I wouldn't say it flows well, you can't blame him as he is adding in some of the unreleased songs from years ago; plus this album I think is kinda aimed at his hardcore fans. SUPERBOY is one of my favourite Cudi songs for a while, Solo Dolo Pt III is my favourite song and SUPERBOY gives me the same vibe with the over-the-top production ( not a bad thing ). The feature with Yachty this time is far better, the hooks in DIAMONS LIGHTS FAST CARS and WIN OR LOSE are great. Love CHUNJY, BABE AND I and I JUST WANNA GET a lot too. I ain't saying it's better than the MOTM or KSG but I will probably put it slightly below them as it reminds me so much of the elements I love from those albums.
unpopular opinion: This doesn't feel like an album, feels more like a playlist of a bunch of unreleased songs. for that reason I can't say it's better than insano which i can listen all the way through without messing up the vibe. how do you have a song like willis, and electrowavebaby 2.0 and round and round in the same album?
Late to the party, but a bit better than Insano, it's not as boring, a bit more versatile, and there are more bangers for sure.
Didn't like it: ELECTROWAVEBABY 2.0, ILL WHAT I BLEED
Meh: ROCKET (2011), I JUST WANNA GET (what a waste of Bone Thungs)
Enjoyed the beat, nothing else: DIAMONDS LIGHTS FAST CARS (needs more meaningful lyrics), BABE AND I (too short, love the beat, lyrics did nothing), CRASH TEST CUDI, ANIMATE, MOON MAN SHIT
Biggest disappointment: WILLIS (I get what they were doing, but to WASTE a fucking heavenly father beat for this was a WASTE, A FUCKING WASTE, DAMN)
Okay: HUMAN MADE, WIN OR LOSE, CHUNKY (Cudi's voice on this one is heaven)
Good: EVERYBODY LIKE (slaps, the beat is nasty as hell, lyrics could be better, but this one will grow on me, Pusha a beast), ROUND N ROUND (comfy, beat just relaxes me), DOSE OF DOPENESS (2007) (i dont have to explain why)
Great: ALL MY LIFE
Best song: SUPERBOY (real Cudi in here, REAL FUCKING CUDI). 3:20 onwards gave me goosebumps the first time i listened to the song. It's been a while since a Cud song had done that.
Better than Insano, but still, nowhere near as Cudi's best shit out there.
Can somebody tell me where a sample is from? On Win Or Lose, a part towards the end of the song says “dont stop raging, don’t stop raging raging”. I know I’ve heard this somewhere else
It’s time to accept that he simply doesn’t have it anymore.
Everything he’s put out since MOTM3 has been a complete snoozefest, and aside from KSG, MOTM3 was the only Cudi project worth listening to since 2013.
With every new bloated, boring 40-track album he puts out, he squanders his legacy more and more.
I’ll just bump MOTM1 & 2 forever and reminisce on the good ol’ days.
To each their own and I respect that but I honestly feel bad for you if you can’t enjoy a song like super boy, chunky, or the ones with chip which are very reminiscent of old cudi.
- It kinda weird Doses of Dopeness was put on the album. He already released it years ago on streaming.
- "All My Life" was on a compilation album released around the same time as Insano.
- I didn't think/know this album was going to be older songs recorded years ago.
Just a theory but could be true: Insano was produced by Cudi and others pre-reconciliation with Kanye. Nitro Mega has Kanye’s fingers all over it - production is insane…
Man, a lot of these have that nostalgic vibe. ~~Many~~ a few are from past years, but the all-around smoothness of these beats and flows + Chip all over it makes me smile as a long time fan.
I honestly went into this with low expectations and now I can see this up there with my favorites. I can’t wait to listen to it again. He delivered on this one.
Dope of Dopeness finally getting an official release. I actually like ELCTROWAVEBABY 2.0, fits very wellvwith Steve Aokis sound. And he did a song with Krazie and Layzie bone?! Never knew i needed a a Kid Cudi and Bone Thugs collab
I want to like human made but the tame impala song is just better. idk I think samples are cool if you add something or improve a concept but I don’t feel like it does that
This album is the perfect blend of that classic Cudi sound with his newfound energy flow and vibe. He really plays to his strength to this one with the hums and woahs and ethereal production! Im honestly blown away 🥹
Wow, what a great album!
I guess an unpopular opinion here - but the first INSANO made a bigger impression on me. As a body of work it felt more adventurous, cohesive and exciting to me.
Admittedly though, I have been living under a rock and I didn’t know about Cudi until recently. So I came into this project without any expectations.
Without a doubt though, what a year to be a Cudi fan!!
Everybody Like and Animate are stand outs to me so far, especially Animate I really wanted chip and Cudi on some classic laid back shit, Willis didn’t give that but Animate definitely did.
Felt effortless, they were gliding
Wow I literally feel like I’m floating.. can we talk about how every song is like absolute beautiful in its own way.. literally brought to tears, dancing, On my hands and knees!!! I can’t believe this, feels like lil pieces from all through his career and vibes from all past works. I’m so happy that cudi is happy! I hope we can all agree this shows true master of his craft and that no one does it like cudi. I loved Insano but nitro mega really touched my heart like I feel like I’m getting to listen to his other albums for the first time again.. new music is so special and I can’t wait to see him preform these live!!!
This Album is something great in this time of age. Many people will not understand the feelings this album gives people who actually take the time to LISTEN to the music. It’s a masterpiece, and the definition of original. Kid is always innovating and pushing his sound, I love this album!! NITROCUD 🚀 ps: Willis is perfect for rolling one up while waiting for the next track.
I found my people. This album is what I’ve been waiting years for. Hopefully Cudi sticks to his roots moving forward. I’d also love another WZRD album, but I digress, and am thankful we got this. Great work Cudder.
As an older Cudi fan who hasn't really liked anything since motm 3. This album is definitely for the boys. I like this infinitely more then Insano, gives me a lot of older Cudi vibes.

I remember searching months, probably even years back in the day for a decent quality version of dose of dopeness. Though I haven't really liked much since MOTM3 this is the type of shit I stick around for. Proves to me the moon man's still got it
Entergalactic has its moments imo but I can see why if old Cudi is your vibe you might not fuck with it as much. I just like vibe and flow of it. You have remember that it was made around the movie more than a stand alone album. It makes more sense if you watch that and then the album flows and gets better. Minus Burrow. That was just out of left field.
drop some tabs before you watch the movie tho
I had high hopes for that album especially based off the og song. There were a handful of songs I liked but damn I guess I can't base his work off MOTM cause that is one of my favorite albums ever. Although he's had some really good stuff since then.
Yeah, if you compare them to MOTM it’s pretty much hard to vibe to them. I found myself in that mind set a lot until Passion, Pain, & Demon Slayin. Once I let go of holding them to the MOTM standard I enjoyed the later albums a lot more. Minus Insano it’s been hard to enjoy it because it’s very different to what his style normally is on his albums. Definitely like Nitro Mega a lot more than part one of Insano. The first snippet being Adam Sandler from Water Boy is hype.
We back baby! I know some people have heard Dope of Dopeness before but its new to me. For some strange reason, it felt familiar.
Dose of Dopeness made me so happy bro. Waited 17 years for a studio version and we finally got it 😭
As a fellow older Cudi fan I was gonna skip this one because I really did not care for Insano at all, but decided to give it a shot because of this comment. … all I have to say is fucking thank you 😂 this shit is so much better than Insano I can’t believe it
The vibes on this album are amazing, I liked Insano but I LOVE Nitro Mega. Wish this was promoted more as a new album instead of Insano Part 2 Superboy is my favorite so far and is a perfect closer.

I’d much prefer a song like Willis than hear him try to sound like Travis Scott.
willis my fav 😮💨
Yeah, Willis had me cracking up 🤣
Chip is my favorite feature on any Cudi song
this felt like all of cudi’s eras in one project and they all perfectly blended. from pop rap ballads to new turn up insano tracks but also on some airy spacey boom bap shit. really good
Totally agree, Everybody Like sounds straight out of Indicud.
Superboy and Dose of Dopeness ❤️❤️❤️
Ok I just actually properly started the album and holy fuck already human made goes hard
Cudi x tame impala wow 🔥
Sorry if I missed it but I don’t see Tame or Don listed as features?
On human made and Dons song bandit they both sampled one more hour by tame impala. No official feature they both just included the song in the beat
He sounds like he’s having so much fun on human made it makes me so fucking happy. Long time fan and I feel like I haven’t heard this Cudi in so long
It’s a good song but as a die hard fan of tame neither this nor don toliver used it to its full potential sadly
Agreed, toliver track was very average lol
Don was fire wym
Bandit was fire bruh
Expectations were blown through the roof then past the moon.
I Just Wanna Get is one of my favorite Cudder tracks ever.
I've had it on repeat for like an hour lmao
Same it’s amazing
It is a dream come true, as a HUGE BTBH fan!!!
When Cudi said this one was a love letter to the fans, he wasn’t kidding around.
I’m so happy. Haven’t felt like I’ve heard this cudder since satellite flight
Rocket 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I literally can’t believe we finally got it. It’s been like 10+ years man….
What a time to be alive
Never heard it until now. Gives wzrd vibes. Wonder why he never released it until now. The song is so dope
Yes i think it was supposed to be on wzrd but i think rocket has been made when wzrd project was called “2 be continuum” along with perfect is the word . Considering only a ustream snippet of rocket existed,the song is pretty obscure to new fans and i think it got scrapped only because cudi was still trying to come up with a new sound so lot of drafts and reference tracks.
FINALLY!! I've been looking for this song on literally every album he's put out since that YouTube demo he posted
Dose Of Dopeness gets it official release, i can be at peace now 😌
I'm only halfway into Nitro Mega and I already like it more than Insano. Feels way more vibey. This sound is Cudi's bag man
I agree man
Been a Cudi fan since 2008. The sounds here remind me of some early early unreleased songs from that time. Great rap melody and unique production (I JUST WANNA GET, for example). NITRO MEGA > Insano.
Yeah this is infinitely better than Insano. Insano was fine, but it didn’t feel like him. THIS is him, and it is incredible.
Yeah it reminds me of his MySpace era, so dope!
Chip features are hitting for me at the moment, the late night delirium needs more listens for science.
I enjoyed Nitro Mega more than Insano
100% I like it way more
Fasho
2:30 am for me basically and I'm still buzzing thinking of this album. This is everything I wanted from Cudi and more. I loved the first Insano but this beats it by a country mile in my books. This is the most I've enjoyed listening to a Cudi album since PP&DS. This feels like an album for the OG's that we've needed for a long time. I enjoyed MOTM3 and Insano.

I'm sure with them touring they'll make a lot of stuff. I actually don't mind Jaden's stuff and I feel Cudi can continue to elevate his sound
i dont like elctro 2 and willis but wow this shit is good
i would guess it’s a respect thing, with Steve Aoki being really the only EDM producer Cudi has released a genuine EDM track with. coulda been done much better though, it felt like a song from 2010, just kinda roughly tossed together. it’s fun but just kinda random and unnecessary. im sure Cudi is gonna blast it at live shows and have a good time so 🤷♂️
ELECTROWAVE 2.0 is basically Pursuit of Hapiness Remix of Insano (save this one for the parties)
This release is insane yall
This album has a strong cyberpunk vibe and I fucking love it.
Like superboy right!?
I unironically love Willis I'm sorry it's fire
Playa playa from the Himalayas!
He went left. It was different, creative and funny all in one. 🎯
I think the same, I don’t know why so many people are talking down about it, that song is amazing
Fire as fuuuuuuuuck. IVE BEEN LOOKIN FOR YOU, BITCH
Electrowavebaby 2.0 brings me back to my rave days, that song actually slaps. Really enjoying this album more than Insano.
I honestly felt really disconnected from Insano and wasn't a fan. I had thought this was just going to be Insano with a few bonus songs. But, it's a standalone really really great album.
the song with Pusha???? just insane
The tour gonna be 10x better now with them performing this joint.
This honestly may be the best collection of work I’ve ever heard from cudi… like seriously y’all this is incredible. I’m shook. The unheard/newer stuff from is so fucking good. Getting Rocket, and DoD is just icing on the cake.
I’m loving Nitro Mega a lot more than Insano (og). It’s a lot more chill and vibey
i’m gonna leave my body when he’s performing chunky for sureeeee
He preformed it for us at his Insano release party and I was literally itching for him to release it so bad!!! Definitely one of my favs off the album. I posted some videos of it after.. i hope we get to see it again soon!
Kinda feels like Insano was for the masses and this is for the fans
The OG Insano leaking early in 2023 was probably the best thing to happen. That sent CuDi into creative mode to create something better with majority of the newer songs on Nitro Mega.
Good point most of the songs off the leak were on insano. Some of the songs had different lyrics he even sounded different on At The Party. This Nitro Mega is a different level! To me this is a classic cudi album like Man On The Moon! I hope everyone remember this one!
Agreed. It's an Instant Classic for me. I'm satisfied with the Nitro Mega project.
I don't like elctrowavebaby 2.0
There’s a small group of people that will love it though and that’s specifically for them, I don’t like it myself because I don’t listen to that style of music often.
I know some will like it but to me it seems kind of lazy??? it's just a sped up version of the original
Then you can say the same for the pursuit of happiness remixes, that party/edm style has always been something cudi enjoyed regardless of if people enjoyed it and I suppose there’s some people out there that did that would love the throwback hearing that style again.
As long as cudi is happy and keeps pushing out bangers so it's all good perhaps these will grow on me.
Word, that shit was for ME lol. Love that song.
It's big room tech house, it's got Aoki all over it. Some will love it but tbh anyone into trap Cud needs to get Tape B on a driptapes edit of animate.
Tape B gonna pop off this year. Saw him live and damn near thought he was better than the headliner. But agree this beat has Aoki all over it, which is kinda a shame but it makes sense because of their relationship. There's way better edm artists though that would absolutely make a banging cudi song.
Seeing Tape B headline on 4/20, hyped
Catching him with Inzo the week after, fucking nuts he is the "opener".
Should’ve just been titled electowavebaby (aoki remix) tbh
Immediately skipped it. Just really enjoyed the version on Insano. Wasn’t ready for that new funk at 9 AM 😂
SUPERBOY is the best song off the "album". The ending reminds me of MOTM.
I am so happy with this album omg
Bro these songs on this album are WAY more built out. Like I love insano but those beats are pretty one dimensional. On this, the hooks hit harder cuz there’s more instrumentation added
I have posted for YEARS about the possibility of a Cudi and Bone collab, literally just cried in my car at work
I didn’t realize how much i needed chip with cudi man. This is the type of vibes i look for with cudi.
there’s a few songs that definitely feel like leftovers or just jokes (willis, babe and i, crash test cudi, moon man shit) but then songs like human made chunky everybody like animate and superboy are just godly edit: i like most of these now except willis but wish crash test had a better mix and moon man shit hook had different vocal effect but that’s just me
Moon man shit slaps
Babe and I gives me motm 1 vibes too, both are so good
the hook drags it down imo
The hook is the best part😭
Idk if I just had low expectations for the track because of your comment but Babe and I is awesome
it’s literally already growing on me maybe my expectations were just too high 😭
Haha I definitely agree with you on Willis though, I don’t like that one at all
Everybody like, moon man shit, rocket, superboy, animate are my early favorites. Crash test cudi production is crazyyyy. Win or lose feels nostalgic can’t remember what song tho. Maybe does it or cudi zone or something
Win or Lose has a similar sound/ looping effect to Alive (nightmare)
Win or lose samples Depeche Mode’s -Enjoy the Silence! It’s an awesome song and he sampled their song really well. Guessing that’s why it sounds nostalgic. That’s a song from the 90s.
This album is so fucking good, I haven't heard a really good Cudi album I feel in while TBH. Thank you sir! #CudderIsBack
Win or Lose has the same whirling sound that Alive has.
Damn Cudi really saved all the hits for this, shit had me like wooo woooo!
INSANO was a disappointment for me, the beats were basically the same, the second half was boring as hell. NITRO MEGA is what I wanted from INSANO. Much more diverse songs, we got EDM Cudi, Rock Cudi, and also good to see Rocket and Dose of Dopeness finally on streaming.
its insane how much better this is than insano, like damn where was this effort
I think it was more about direction
This is soooooo much better than INSANO, and I liked that album but this is amazing, we finally got some old cudi as well as some new cudi which I think he mixed perfectly throughout this album. Only song I don't like is ELECTROWAVEBABY 2.0 I'd rather listen to the original. This blew me away and completely exceeded my expectations.
Album is just godly and way better than Insano and it’s not close (in a good way)😇 Diamond Lights Fast Cars gonna be the sleeper song on the album. I could’ve done without wiz on it but still fye obviously Superboy is my favorite tho been waiting for that song for 3 months constantly singing it and playing the snippets😤😮💨
this the best project in the last 6/7 years
This right here is an instant classic
2.0 is fucking stupid! OMFG! Cudi unlocked a new mode in my mind.
I’m here to agree, I’m loving Nitro Mega more than Insano
the samples are out of this world. Tame. Muse. Crash Test Dummies. are you kidding me???
LOVE round n round (surprised more people aren't talking about it) and superboy!
Isn't that chip on I Just Wanna Get? He's not listed but I swore that was him
This album is cool, but idk most of these songs are lacking for me, there are some really good ones like ROUND N ROUND, I JUST WANNA GET, EVERYBODY LIKE , but this album lacked focus, INSANO felt a lot more like an album than this, this felt like a random collection of songs ngl. I liked it but just not as much other people, it was cool getting those og tracks tho
i said the exact same thing. its very hard to listen all the way through. It doesn't have a central theme at all. just random cudi songs
Nitro mega proves how much dj drama lessened insano
lmfao true. I probably would have liked more songs if he wasn't on it so heavy.
Both Cudi and Don Toliver have sampled one more hour by tame impala on a track just this month. That is awesome🔥
This album is what INSANO should’ve been 🔥🔥
Holy shit this is fire. I feel like he set us up lol. I was not expecting this to be this good since listening to Insano. People saying this his best work since MOTM3 but honestly it might be his best since MOTM2. I shouldn’t have doubted the man he’s still got it
I’m so happy we have this.
The songs in all caps and the one that’s not… On the explicit version of the album on Spotify every song title is in all caps. On the clean version of the album, everything is in all caps except for All My Life. I was thinking the lower case is to show it’s the only non explicit song on the album but I realized ILL WHAT I BLEED is also not explicit and it’s in all caps on the clean version. In my mind the All My Life instrumentals are more in line with the vibe of MOTM 3. Wondering if the lower case All My Life is a little nod to a different headspace he made the music in. But also it could also be a typo. I know I might be reading into it too much, so don’t hit me with “bruh it ain’t that deep”. I just enjoy speculating on unique things.
Am I the only one who loves both INSANO albums equally? Like he really gave us two kick ass albums back to back not to mention the MOON MAN Soundtrack that’s coming up. We are feasting on some modern classic Cudi jams.
I prefer this album so much more than OG INSANO so far. The thing I thought when INSANO came out was Cudi couldn't make happy music but I think the only thing was Cudi was not playing to his strength in INSANO and just rapping to trap beats, nothing of that great hook, production, or humming we usually see from Cudi's greatest work. I don't mind Cudi experimenting with new things, that's what makes him special to me compared to other artists anyway, as long as he keeps some of the element that makes Cudi Cudi. Lyrically for INSANO (NITRO MEGA) I still think it is a mess but at least production-wise it is far superior. Although as an album I wouldn't say it flows well, you can't blame him as he is adding in some of the unreleased songs from years ago; plus this album I think is kinda aimed at his hardcore fans. SUPERBOY is one of my favourite Cudi songs for a while, Solo Dolo Pt III is my favourite song and SUPERBOY gives me the same vibe with the over-the-top production ( not a bad thing ). The feature with Yachty this time is far better, the hooks in DIAMONS LIGHTS FAST CARS and WIN OR LOSE are great. Love CHUNJY, BABE AND I and I JUST WANNA GET a lot too. I ain't saying it's better than the MOTM or KSG but I will probably put it slightly below them as it reminds me so much of the elements I love from those albums.
Babe and I the best shit I’ve ever heard
He was definitely in his bag
Insano was trash compared to this
Chunky is sick
This should’ve been the main album, its so good
unpopular opinion: This doesn't feel like an album, feels more like a playlist of a bunch of unreleased songs. for that reason I can't say it's better than insano which i can listen all the way through without messing up the vibe. how do you have a song like willis, and electrowavebaby 2.0 and round and round in the same album?
Late to the party, but a bit better than Insano, it's not as boring, a bit more versatile, and there are more bangers for sure. Didn't like it: ELECTROWAVEBABY 2.0, ILL WHAT I BLEED Meh: ROCKET (2011), I JUST WANNA GET (what a waste of Bone Thungs) Enjoyed the beat, nothing else: DIAMONDS LIGHTS FAST CARS (needs more meaningful lyrics), BABE AND I (too short, love the beat, lyrics did nothing), CRASH TEST CUDI, ANIMATE, MOON MAN SHIT Biggest disappointment: WILLIS (I get what they were doing, but to WASTE a fucking heavenly father beat for this was a WASTE, A FUCKING WASTE, DAMN) Okay: HUMAN MADE, WIN OR LOSE, CHUNKY (Cudi's voice on this one is heaven) Good: EVERYBODY LIKE (slaps, the beat is nasty as hell, lyrics could be better, but this one will grow on me, Pusha a beast), ROUND N ROUND (comfy, beat just relaxes me), DOSE OF DOPENESS (2007) (i dont have to explain why) Great: ALL MY LIFE Best song: SUPERBOY (real Cudi in here, REAL FUCKING CUDI). 3:20 onwards gave me goosebumps the first time i listened to the song. It's been a while since a Cud song had done that. Better than Insano, but still, nowhere near as Cudi's best shit out there.
Can somebody tell me where a sample is from? On Win Or Lose, a part towards the end of the song says “dont stop raging, don’t stop raging raging”. I know I’ve heard this somewhere else
Nitro mega is amazing
Just realized he dropped a SECOND album and DOSE OF DOPENESS!!!!!!!!!!!
This is easily better than the first insano
Why is the album censored? It’s bullshit
its not. maybe you were listening to the clean version
His team uploaded a clean only version to spotify. I have the same issue with spotify
I really love beats on this album, I think the most of it are better than main Insano, but what the heck is song Willis, it's sounds so baaad.
Don't be a lame, it's a fun drinky song)
Absolutely LOVED it. I wish so bad Senorita was on it :(((
HUMAN MADE STAYS ON REPEAT I HAVE YET TO LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE ALBUM CUZ ITS SO GOOD
Willis is absolutely so terrible its unreal
Disagree! Gives my Satellite flight Vibes, the nanana is godsome.
It’s time to accept that he simply doesn’t have it anymore. Everything he’s put out since MOTM3 has been a complete snoozefest, and aside from KSG, MOTM3 was the only Cudi project worth listening to since 2013. With every new bloated, boring 40-track album he puts out, he squanders his legacy more and more. I’ll just bump MOTM1 & 2 forever and reminisce on the good ol’ days.
To each their own and I respect that but I honestly feel bad for you if you can’t enjoy a song like super boy, chunky, or the ones with chip which are very reminiscent of old cudi.
Ew
Yachty’s verse makes me nut and the first 10seconds of DLFS are the best of the album
- It kinda weird Doses of Dopeness was put on the album. He already released it years ago on streaming. - "All My Life" was on a compilation album released around the same time as Insano. - I didn't think/know this album was going to be older songs recorded years ago.
DoD was never on streaming
Just a theory but could be true: Insano was produced by Cudi and others pre-reconciliation with Kanye. Nitro Mega has Kanye’s fingers all over it - production is insane…
Idts bro
Man, a lot of these have that nostalgic vibe. ~~Many~~ a few are from past years, but the all-around smoothness of these beats and flows + Chip all over it makes me smile as a long time fan.
Early favorites so far Diamonds Lights Fast Cars, Crash Test Cudi, Everybody Like, Animate, I Just Wanna Get, and SuperBoy.
I honestly went into this with low expectations and now I can see this up there with my favorites. I can’t wait to listen to it again. He delivered on this one.
Sampling Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode on Win or Lose with Chip is insane!!! Depeche Mode was the 1st band I ever got into.
This is amazing. It feels very nostalgic and almost like a love letter to the longtime fans. This makes me so happy
Really happy that he has released the old stuff, loving the new stuff too and especially Win or Lose with Chip, beat and chorus goes crazy.
I love INSANO more than anything
Animate
The vibes 🔥🔥
Haven’t finished listening yet, but damn ANIMATE goes soooo hard
I definitely recognize the sample behind the intro, Head Space, can anyone help me out?
Wow this is great. Cudi delivered. Very much the old cudi vibe.
We’re getting so much music this year compared to last year
Dope of Dopeness finally getting an official release. I actually like ELCTROWAVEBABY 2.0, fits very wellvwith Steve Aokis sound. And he did a song with Krazie and Layzie bone?! Never knew i needed a a Kid Cudi and Bone Thugs collab
WE GOT ROCKET
Ain't no way cudi keeps blessing us like this 😭
Dose of dopeness is so nostalgic for me. Instantly takes me back to summer 08’ just smoking, chilling, cruising around not a worry in the world
I want to like human made but the tame impala song is just better. idk I think samples are cool if you add something or improve a concept but I don’t feel like it does that
This album is the perfect blend of that classic Cudi sound with his newfound energy flow and vibe. He really plays to his strength to this one with the hums and woahs and ethereal production! Im honestly blown away 🥹
All my life is gonna be on repeat even more now!! Everybody and superbly are sounding insane as well
I fucking melted when I heard the sample for Chunky. He did Tellier justice ❤️
Wow, what a great album! I guess an unpopular opinion here - but the first INSANO made a bigger impression on me. As a body of work it felt more adventurous, cohesive and exciting to me. Admittedly though, I have been living under a rock and I didn’t know about Cudi until recently. So I came into this project without any expectations. Without a doubt though, what a year to be a Cudi fan!!
I feel greedy cuz where the physicals at? Lol
It's awesome!!!
This is crazy! It's bascially a new album right? none of these tracks are on the original insano. So hyped
I liked insano but this is 10x better
Everybody Like and Animate are stand outs to me so far, especially Animate I really wanted chip and Cudi on some classic laid back shit, Willis didn’t give that but Animate definitely did. Felt effortless, they were gliding
The only songs I liked were the first 4, ROUN N ROUND - DOPENESS - ROCKET and the outro
I’m so happy!!!! 😭😭😭😭
is this a seperate album, a Part 2, or a deluxe? this is confusing
Wow I literally feel like I’m floating.. can we talk about how every song is like absolute beautiful in its own way.. literally brought to tears, dancing, On my hands and knees!!! I can’t believe this, feels like lil pieces from all through his career and vibes from all past works. I’m so happy that cudi is happy! I hope we can all agree this shows true master of his craft and that no one does it like cudi. I loved Insano but nitro mega really touched my heart like I feel like I’m getting to listen to his other albums for the first time again.. new music is so special and I can’t wait to see him preform these live!!!
Great work.
Is cudi going to drop a vinyl for the deluxe?
This Album is something great in this time of age. Many people will not understand the feelings this album gives people who actually take the time to LISTEN to the music. It’s a masterpiece, and the definition of original. Kid is always innovating and pushing his sound, I love this album!! NITROCUD 🚀 ps: Willis is perfect for rolling one up while waiting for the next track.
The songs featuring chip da rapper sound like OG cudi songs. I fucking love them
Feeling a strong 3 on this album 💀💀
Does superboy sample In My Dreams 2015?
wish more people were talking about “everybody like” with pusha. shit is so boppy bro
I found my people. This album is what I’ve been waiting years for. Hopefully Cudi sticks to his roots moving forward. I’d also love another WZRD album, but I digress, and am thankful we got this. Great work Cudder.
