Kid Cudi’s 2009 debut LP Man on the Moon: The End of Day. While it may only be remembered by some for the once-inescapable hits like “Pursuit of Happiness” and “Day ’n’ Night,” a dozen-year-later retrospective view of the album proves it an ambitious mammoth of a concept album.
After gaining momentum as a creator and collaborator on gargantuan cultural artifacts of the aughts, most namely the previous year’s 808s and Heartbreaks and his own mixtape A Kid Named Cudi, all eyes were on Cudi’s major label debut. Man on the Moon: The End of Day delivered the first in his Man on the Moon trilogy, and a hip-hop album that muddied the sonic lines between hip-hop, new wave, electronic, and a handful of other genres in a way the mainstream had yet to see.
“I wish I could’ve recorded a video of the meeting in which Man on the Moon was announced as a ROTM internally to VMP. There was a lot of collective youthful glee on the video grid of our staff’s faces, and despite the record’s fairly constant state of solemn, emo turmoil, I think that’s really indicative of the way people feel about this record when they look back,” said Sutliff. “It ubiquitously speaks to, and was present during, a very specific time in lots of people’s lives: in many cases youth, which, to be fair, is typically filled with a lot of solemn, emo turmoil. Blend that nostalgic melodrama and enthusiasm with the fact that I’m certain we’ve never done a record like this for Essentials, and you’ve got yourself a ROTM.”
VMP’s March essentials feature is pressed on exclusive 2LP “The End of Day / A New Beginning” Galaxy Vinyl, from lacquers cut by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering at AIR. The package features a gatefold tip-on jacket with black poly-lined sleeves and an exclusive art print by the Eisner Award-winning artist who created the original album art, Bill Sienkiewicz.
