Kids See Ghosts
Released in 2018, Kids See Ghosts isn’t just another Kanye West project—it’s a moment.
A raw, seven-track ride through pain, growth, and freedom.
It’s Kanye confronting his bipolar disorder.
It’s Cudi embracing healing after depression.
It’s two artists turning ghosts into guides—and darkness into something almost divine.
Feel The Love
"I can still feel the love..."
That hook? It feels like Cudi speaking straight to his younger self.
Meanwhile, Kanye’s chaotic ad-libs almost crash into Pusha T’s sharp verse.
It’s like three voices showing love through different lenses—support, success, and survival.
It’s not clean. It’s not polished.
But it’s real. That’s why it hits.
Fire
This one feels haunted.
Gritty drums. Flute by André 3000. And a loop from Napoleon XIV’s eerie mental health anthem.
It sounds like wandering through old memories you tried to forget.
Kanye demands honesty. Cudi leans into faith.
Together, they own their scars and turn them into something beautifully broken.
4th Dimension
This track is pure Kanye chaos.
Sampling a Christmas song from the ‘30s? Wild.
But somehow it works. The beat swings between festive and freaky.
Cudi slides in with a colder, introspective verse—talking sound, solitude, and addiction.
It’s like they’re both walking the same hallway, but through very different doors.
Freeee (Ghost Town, Pt. 2)
"I feel freeeeee..."
This is their release. Their anthem. Their freedom song.
Cudi, Kanye, and Ty Dolla $ign shouting it like they need it to be true.
It’s loud. It's messy. But it’s also healing.
Sometimes, letting go sounds like this.
Reborn
This one doesn’t just sound good—it feels like truth.
Every time I hear it, it’s like Cudi’s reaching out, saying:
“You’re not alone. And you can keep going.”
There’s no ego here. Just healing.
I felt peace in the chaos. Music has a way of healing, and Reborn does just that. Cudi speaks from his soul, making the track feel even deeper.
So, wherever you are, however you're feeling—I hope you heal, even from the things you don't speak about. Peace starts with you. You've come so far already. Being here is a blessing. Keep moving forward—always.
Kids See Ghosts
This track flips the meaning of ghosts completely.
Not scary. Not shameful.
But spiritual. Ancestral. A reminder.
"Kids see ghosts sometimes..."
Maybe that’s just another way of saying—we still carry the past.
But it doesn’t have to haunt us.
Cudi Montage
Built on a guitar loop from Kurt Cobain, this one goes deeper.
Violence, injustice, redemption—it’s all there.
Cudi leans on faith again:
"Stay strong / Save me, Lord"
Kanye jumps into storytelling. Talks about revenge, prison, pain.
Brings up Alice Johnson. Questions the system.
It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s real.
They’re not just talking personal pain anymore.
They’re calling out the world that creates it.
Closing
Kids See Ghosts offers a rare glimpse into the struggles and healing of Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Despite Kanye’s larger-than-life persona, Cudi brings out his vulnerability, creating a cohesive album centered around trauma, redemption, and growth.
It’s not about pretending the pain didn’t happen.
It’s about moving through it—with style, with sound, with soul.
Together, they blend their unique styles to tell a powerful story of healing.
The album reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find light and move forward.
This album isn’t perfect. But neither are we.
And that’s what makes it powerful.
