In the video for his new single "Erase Me", rap-rocker Kid Cudi dresses up like Jimi Hendrix and pretends to play guitar. The drummer in his band is McLovin from Superbad. The bassist is Clark Duke from Hot Tub Time Machine. Kanye West shows up as Kanye West near the end and does a little bit of an Axl Rose snake dance. The whole thing is goofy as hell. Watch it below, via Kanye Live.

In other Cudi news, a new track called "Maniac" featuring Cage leaked on to the web a few days ago. It features an unlikely sample of St. Vincent's "The Strangers" from last year's Actor. Listen to it at illRoots.

Cudi's sophomore LP, Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager, is out November 9 according to Amazon.
