Kid Cudi - Erase Me ft. Kanye West 

Remember when kid cudi was more popular than drake lol

i love how everyone is dressed up like it’s the 70s then kanye comes in with gold jewellery and a crown. what a kanye thing to do

I'll never understand why Kid Cudi was never more popular. Dude definitely had his own unique sound and the world needs more of that.

12 years later, this hits harder than ever thank u cud

That kid will always be named McLovin for ever and ever.

it sucks when you care for someone and they don't think about you at all

This track was ahead of its time. Imagine how huge it would’ve been if it were released today.

I hope they forgive eachother and make music again

That strange feeling you get when you realize this song is almost a decade old.

Kid cudi just makes all my stress and depression go away i think

Cudi, Clark, and Mclovin, what a dynamic trio.

Lyrics She said I don't spend time like I really should She said she don't know me, anymore I think she hates me deep down, I know she does She wants to erase me, hm A couple days no talking, I seen my baby And this what she tells me She said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking And nothing helps I can't stop missing you, yeah It's like I'm her new nightmare, she ain't escapin' It makes me feel a bit complete, yeah Knowing someone you love don't feel the same way about ya Memories they soon delete, hm A couple weeks no talking, I seen my baby I've missed you so damn much, hey I wish we could start over, I told my baby This what this bitch tells me, she said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking And nothing helps I can't stop missing you, yeah Cause I'm in the magazines On the T-V No matter where you are you might hear me I'm in the magazines On the T-V No matter where you go you might see me Uh, I'm Yeezy She said Hi I'm Aria, No! You an angel you wave hi to Aaliyah I got a show in Korea They built a new arena Why don't you come watch nigga tear the whole scene up I know I've seen you before But don't know where I've seen ya Oh I remember now, It's something I that I dreamed of Don C said she cool But don't let her f-ck ya cream up Monica Lewinsky on ya dress take ya to the cleaners Sure enough a week later I'm in extra love And everybody know she mine so she extra plug Every bouncer every club show her extra love We just praying the new fame don't get the best of us But all good things gotta come to an end-a She let it go to her head, no not my Aria The height of her shopping was writers blocking me I couldn't get my shit out any way, I hope you die Aria I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking you Nothing helps I can't stop missing you, yeah

*when you realize kanye wrote that entire verse just to say 'diarrhea' at the end*

This song hit different during quarantine

A Message to Future Generation. Never let this song die.

Currently 21, and I'm finally understanding everything Cudi was referencing throughout the years. I remember being like 12 thinking "yo this shit is hard" Shoutout to my older brother for putting me on and man, Cudi sure is timeless.

Im glad Kid Cudi supports unknown artists, this Kanye dude is gonna be big!

i need a concert witht these songs : cudi zone sound track 2 my life mojo so dope pursuit of happiness Mr rager erase me up up and away the prayer

We may forget about this masterpiece, but sooner than later we always come back to it.

This song help me with depression back when it came out. Real talk. Much love to Cudi and Kanye

*First time watching* : whos that guy? Oh shit Mclovin

1:55 is the most epic hmmm of all time

Shame well probably never see a collab with these two again. Atleast for a while 😔

That “I wish we could startt overrrr” hit so different these days man long live Cudi 🔥😭🥹

Sounds so happy, but lyrics are sad af :( Kid Cudi is amazing

This duo always hit harder than Jay and Ye.

RIP ye and Cudi’s relationship

It is 2023 and I am still listening to kid cudi 😂😂Erase me never dies

Friend: But did you smash Me: Thumbnail

who else just randomly felt like listening to this again

hope they become friends again

Kid Cudi needs to make a big come back because he truly is talented genius

mad respect for everybody who’s still listening to this masterpiece in 2021

I used to play this song in high school and cry

Definitely consider this as one of the greatest songs ever

RIP KANYE X CUDI

This was the shit back in the day lol

You might not have realized, but in this song, Kanye employs the greatest wordplay of all time with the line: “I couldn’t get my shit out anyway, I hope you die, Aria” Explanation: First, we must go over some history: Like we learned at the beginning of his verse, the girl that Kanye is addressing a girl whose name is “Aria”. An Aria (Italian for “air”) is a word that refers to a formal musical composition, in other words, a song. Now for the full analysis: The first part of the line is “I couldn’t get my shit out anyway”, and when Kanye raps the word “shit”, he is referencing music, as many people affectionately refer to their possessions or products of their work as their “shit”. The second part of the line is: “I hope you die, Aria” His anger at Aria is due to him not being able to get his “shit” out. Because we have established that Aria is a type of song and prevents Kanye from getting his “shit” out, we can safely say that Aria as a character in the song is a metaphor for the music industry, as it is known that music labels can make it very difficult for artists to release music. If this was the only meaning of the line, this would easily be top 10 lines of all time, but that’s not all… Now, you’re going to have to stay with me here, because this gets very complicated. The last 2 words of Kanye’s verse, “die Aria” sound like the single word “diarrhea”. Seems random? Well, this is the kicker… Kanye rapping about not being able to get his “shit out” before is actually a reference to constipation: bowel dysfunction wherein feces cannot exit the rectum easily, leading to large, hard excrement. Diarrhea can be considered the opposite of constipation, as bowel movements categorized as diarrhea often come out at a rapid rate and are mostly comprised of liquid. Now, for ultimate conclusion: By Kanye saying “I hope you die Aria”… he is actually hoping that he is relieved of his constipation, which is a metaphor for his label not letting him put out music. Any self-respecting hip-hop fan can agree that this is an incredible double entendre and clearly the greatest wordplay of all time. In my opinion, Kanye should be praised for this more often. The line not only solidifies Erase Me as the greatest song of all time, but also Kanye as the greatest writer, rapper, artist, and human being of all time. Thank you.

It fucking hurts so bad seeing kanye so happy, I cant watch this without tearing up. Man I wish things had gone differently for him. Makes the nostalgia cut so much sharper.

I'm glad that Kid Cudi paid a tribute to Jimi Hendrix by dressing up and looking like him. Jimi influenced the rock and blue community. He wasn't widely accepted by the African American crowd back then. I'm glad Kid Cudi embraced Jimi.

When he dies, we will lose a part of ourselves & one of the most important artists of this generation

I lost my shit when I saw mclovin!

Where's this song been all my life??!! Ye and Kudi never miss

April 2024 ....still sounds so fresh

I love this song but every time I hear it it makes me think of a 00’s high school movie 😂

Couldn't find anywhere the Lyrics so here you are: She said I don't spend time like I really should She said she don't know me, anymore I think she hates me deep down, I know she does She wants to erase me, hm A couple days no talking, I seen my baby And this what she tells me She said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking And nothing helps I can't stop missing you, yeah It's like I'm her new nightmare, she ain't escapin' It makes me feel a bit complete, yeah Knowing someone you love don't feel the same way about ya Memories they soon delete, hm A couple weeks no talking, I seen my baby I've missed you so damn much, hey I wish we could start over, I told my baby This what this bitch tells me, she said I keep on running, keep on running And nothing works I can't get away from you, no I keep on ducking, keep on ducking And nothing helps I can't stop missing you, yeah 'Cause I'm in the magazines On the T-V No matter where you are you might hear me I'm in the magazines On the T-V No matter where you go you might see me Uh, I'm Yeezy She said Hi I'm Aria, No!

2023🎉🎉🎉 still jamming. History can’t erase this jam.

The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now she sings it with me! This song and “Clover Cage - Secret Song” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️😊

"She said I don't spend time like I really should She said she don't know me, anymore I think she hates me deep down I know she does She wants to erase me" this song describes perfectly my brake up with my girlfriend haha. Good song though

I miss kid cudi I hope he gets back on the track & makes hits 👌👌

Just listened to this masterpiece 5 times in a row before work

11 years later and this is still 🔥🔥 every time the crowd roars i get goosebumps ❤❤❤ one of the only concerts i would attend

why is everybody hating on kanye west.. kanye is the reason cudi got big

“All good things must come to an end “ ... I felt that

Man I really wish he didn't try to chase trends with his newer music this will forever be my go to feel good song

I WAS 11 YEARS OLD SKATING TO THIS SONG JUST TRYING TO FIGURE LIFE OUT… Love you Kudi ❤️

This song has so many feels. I went my whole life meeting women that I fell hard for, only for them to not to feel the same way. I made it to my 30s without really dating seriously for years. I had given up on ever meeting someone. However one day I randomly met the woman of my dreams, and we both fell madly in love with each other. it was completely unexpected. And Now I've been married to that person for over 5 years. So I totally get it. I hope if anyone out there sees this comment, and finds themselves all alone and thinking that it will never get better - I was you. I was in that position. Then one day I met this woman online, and it naturally clicked. Just keep your heart open, and if you see the opportunity - take it. There is hope for you. I truly believe there is someone out there for you. I literally went close to 7 years without having a serious relationship. I gave up. And now ive been married for 5 years, and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. In the end, when you find the right person - they will love you just as much as you love them. And that's far better then the women or guy you crushed hard on, but didnt get the same love in return.

Kid cudi where are have you been?!

Idc abt any of the cudi hate rn. He still on top and nothin gonna change that. Cudi just gotta keep bein himself

Love Clark Duke and McLovin as the band.

take me back to 2010

this is easily one of the greatest songs ever written. Kid Cudi is incredible.

Coming back here after their break is painful

goated kanye verse

Jimi Hendrix and McLovin. What a music video.

Just go to sleep bro.. She's not even thinking about you.

Pre-pandemic nostalgia is crazy (2022)

My brother used to play this when he was in his final year in school which was like 9 years ago and here I am now is my turn

Still my favorite Kid Cudi song

This shit is beautiful.

To be back freshman year listening to this song… I would give anything

remember when ye and cudi was cool

I know the drummer is McLovin, but is the bassist Clark from The Office?

kid cudis music is so chill. like you kinda wanna sleep and smoke and live life all at the same time

Hope this beef ends

My friend Brooke loved this song she passed away when she was 16 this song always makes me think of her she was a huge cudi fan. Rest easy Brooke

Theres a beautifully mesmerizing quality about this song.

Who is this Kanye west guy he seems pretty good but I’ve never heard of him

The good ones….. the really good ones 💙 Kid Cudi the time traveler!!!!

Did we just forget that fantano gave kids see ghosts a 10. They are legendary when they work together. Sadly I don’t think they will ever work together again. 😢 Idgaf what anyone thinks about Kanye or Kid Cudi. They are the GOATS and creative geniuses

I would sell my soul to hear this for the first time again

Why am I just hearing about this song now

Kanye tryna erase their friendship

Mclovin’ on the drums ayyyye

Me: damn I lost my phone Friend: don’t worry I’ll call it Me: it’s on silent though My phone: 1:56

I still listen to this song XD

If your listening in 2022.. you the real mvp Cudi for life

McLovin really knows how to play the drums

WHY CANT KID CUDI AND KANYE JUST GET ALONG?????? 😥

I wear glasses and some fat middle schooler called me McLovin yesterday jokes on him because he basically said I look like a bad ass drummer who parties with Kid Cudi.

No one gonna comment on how McLovin gets into the best parties

They could’ve made a song like this again. cmon ye 💔

Who else is listening to this in 2019?

I wish cudi and Mac would have collaborated b4 he left us.

wish it was 2010, when kanye and cudi were frequent collaborators.

Kid Cudi will make a comeback, mark my words!

Cudi actually has such a good sense of humor, rare for rappers these days, watch his ted talk, inspiring

they really don't be making music like this anymore

This will always be my sad love song.

Ironic that hippie kid cudi fans hate Kanye because of what the media shows them lol I'm a fan of both btw :)
