Kid Cudi - The Anthem (Mixtape)

A Mixtape with a twist. This mixtape includes 21 Kid Cudi Tracks, 8 iPod/iPhone ready Videos, 5 High Res Kid Cudi Photos and 2 Kid Cudi Wallpapers (ranging in various screen sizes). The reasoning behind this is simply to promote Kid Cudi in a tradional way but with some added material.

The Mixtape is of course named after the #1 voted song here at datnewcudi.com : The Man on the Moon (The Anthem). It received 73 1st place votes out of the 300+ that were submitted, edging out Day ‘n’ Nite at the end by 13 votes. After the break I explain why each media was include and how they were all selected.

Video
The videos are there for the casual mixtape downloader, who is not sure about who Kid Cudi really is and has only really heard a few tracks. This will allow them to see the normal dude who’s just doing what he loves based of the interviews. Some of the videos include are the two video interviews on the Sam Sylk Show, a live performance with Chip the Ripper and Kid Cudi (thanks to Slabup.com for the 3 videos), live performance of Sky High and Dose of Dopeness, Eighty81.com Hustler Watch Interview and the “A Kid Named Cudi Returns Home” documentry by Jits (jitendadlani.com). And of course they are there for you to upload to your iPod/iPhone and watch on the go.

Pictures
The photos are there for anyone really. Possibly for aspiring designers to create wallpapers, posters or what ever they desire. Remember, these photos are for your own use and do not resell them as they are not ours. This should be good news for the people who have requested some photos from me.

Wallpapers
