Best Kid Cudi albums

Man on the Moon: The End of Day wins 68% of its duels and tops the Kid Cudi album ranking ahead of Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.

The original Man on the Moon record holds the top spot with 1374 ELO points, establishing itself as the community's clear favorite. Its sequel, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, follows at 1332 points, maintaining the strength of the trilogy's first two installments. The sharpest drop in the entire ranking occurs between rank 2 and rank 3, where an 89-point gap separates Man on the Moon II from Kids See Ghosts. That collaborative project with Kanye West claims third place with 1243 points, narrowly edging out Entergalactic at 1241 points. Man on the Moon III: The Chosen rounds out the top 5 at 1221 points. The bottom of the ranking tells a different story: Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' languishes at rank 10 with just 1009 ELO points and a 13% win rate, while the polarizing Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven sits at rank 9 with 1071 points. Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon completes the bottom three at rank 8.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
