Video: Kid Cudi x Cage “Maniac” Short Film

OK back to the world of non-Roots music. While we were leaking left and right, Kid Cudi and Cage went in for a bit of the old ultra-violence in this dark short film. Warning: the graphic content in this film may be disturbing to young children, not to mention my grown ass. Kind of the ultimate bad santa-meets-trenchcoat-mafia caper to ruin your holiday season. Not sure how I feel about this, actually–ambitious and well um, executed but the even the self-referential twist at the end justifies the gratuitousness. Somebody with a degree in film theory and/or French post-structuralist theory will set me straight, I’m sure. On a lighter note, when I went to tag this post ‘Cage’ I typo/autocorrected ‘Café’. Ironic.
