I'm not gonna lie. When it comes down to my favorite "hipster" rapper, I'll take Kid CuDi over Kanye any day. Yeah yeah, Kanye is cool and all, but CuDi sounds a little more sincere to me. Maybe it's because those flannel shirts and thick-rimmed glasses fit CuDi's figure so well (*swoon*), but uh, who knows.
Anyway, I've been YouTube-in' and Vimeo-in' Cudi's range of music video appearances, and there are quite a few worth sharing. His collaboration with Ratatat and MGMT in "Pursuit of Happiness" is by far my favorite of the three, but the data bending in Kanye's "Welcome to Heartbreak" is too cool to miss. If you're interested, HypeBeast just posted a new video with Snoop Dogg and CuDi, but it's some pretty silly stuff.
Enjoy!
"Pursuit of Happiness" - Kid CuDi ft. Ratatat, MGMT
"Welcome to Heartbreak" - Kanye West ft. Kid CuDi
KANYE WEST "Welcome to Heartbreak" Directed by: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

welcome to heartbreak is my fave video of the decade for real. partly because i had that exact idea like 5 years ago and was like "but it is probably impossible to make an amazing video that looks like a fucked up video file." seriously when i saw it my jaw dropped for the entirety of it.

Cudi's been growing on me lately. Especially since How to Make it in America.
My fav 'hipster' rap right now has to be GhettoSocks. Dude hasn't made a bad song yet IMHO..
