Kid Cudi “Pursuit of Happiness”

Champaign has never tasted so crisp hey Mr. Cudi?

It’s not a true hip-hop celebration video until women are doused with Champaign. Somehow, when Kid Cudi does it, it seems less pornographic and lascivious than when Dre and Snoop do the same thing. Maybe it’s because Cudi has glasses? I don’t know.

Just once, I’d like to go to a party that even approaches the level of debauchery, tomfoolery and favorable guy-to-girl ratio depicted in this video.

The lyrics are not as rosy as the visual stimulation. Cudi even mentions night terrors. I’m not there yet, but I do often find myself waking up in the morning, feeling as though everything is going to collapse, no one loves me and I’ve accomplished nothing. But that’s totally different from a night terror. Night terrors are for wieners.

What is the stuff that keeps falling on everyone? Is it just tinsel, or some other form of shiny what not? I find it very distracting, and it troubles me that no one at the party seems to notice that they’re covered in silver crap.

At the very end, Cudi gets sick from all the partying. That’s a good message for the kids. Sure, alcohol is closely linked to the most fun you’ll ever have in your entire life, but you know, it hurts your tummy, so don’t do it.
