    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?”)

        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.

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

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

      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 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” …

    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
