Some Cudi fans even seemed to be taken aback with the claim, with several Twitter users responding to Cudi’s tweet about Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven with all sorts of criticism. Kid Cudi also followed up his opinion with the following explanations:
It was for the kids sitting at home dreaming of doing something creatively brave. Wanting to explore different musical realms.

Creative bravery is rare in mainstream music. It is my job to keep showing folks you can do whatever you want and be successful. Everyone.

Integrity in tact. Stand for something. Cause not a lot of people do in this business.

Keep exploring man. In life, in art. Just go for it. Trust me.

If you don’t stand for something, you just out here. Fallin for anything. Chasing waves instead of making them.

Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven probably won’t go down as the most critically-acclaimed album, but you have to respect Cudi’s support and love for his craft and art. When it comes to his peers in the rap game, Cudi isn’t exactly alone. At the beginning of the year, Andre 3000 expressed similar sentiments concerning Cudi’s last LP. Wrapping up his string of thoughts, Kid Cudi concluded, “People are always gonna hate on what they dont understand. No matter what you do. So just trust you and watch what happens.”
