I had to look up who that is. Guess I’m getting old. Is he popular? (I feel like Captain Kirk in Star Trek IV asking “Is that a lot?”)

iirc he was in like 2008?

Def still popular. He had an album come out in 2018 that was massive with the 20 year old demographic.

He’s kind of a legacy act at this point but his tours still sell like crazy and he’s had some pretty successful projects in the last few years.

“And this is Kid Cudi, who’s not really a historical figure.”

“Kinda am now, I think.”

Ohhh he’s the Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven Guy! This makes a little more sense now.

I need to listen to Kids See Ghosts, meant to be a classic, but Kanye is very offputting nowadays

How does that relate to Star Trek?

This arbitrary crossover marketing attempt illustrates how Star Trek has become a generic brand like any other …

We just need to sell Boss Baby Quark dolls.

According to him, he’s openly a big star trek fan and grew up on the show. I’m sure he’ll put a lot of effort into it but it is really weird to see.

Most of us did though, does that mean we all get our own Star Trek shows?! ;)

I wouldn’t say no to one.

It could be about the life of a Ferengi crew, that through all adversity stay focused on their goals of acquisition.

Edit: make it post-Zek or during the reforms of Grand Nagus Rom, common themes of gender equality for fe-males. While the Ferengi are primarily interested in commerce, presumably they have the same amount of weird stuff happening to them, and there’s a lot of new species to ~exploit~ meet

I would love that! Many Star Trek species have great potential imo

I think it’s just a song? I’m actually not sure what’s even going on here but it would be really weird if they made a Kid Cudi show instead of a Kid Cudi song.

I was just exaggerating when I wrote “show” …
