Background

In an interview with Complex Magazine Cudi shed light on the song's meaning: "This song is about someone who is fed up with reality, who looks for thrills and excitement by any means. It's just kind of how I was feeling at that point. I was just so angry. Doing coke revived me, and knowing I was so close to death every time intrigued me. I liked the thought of it."[1]

On October 20th, 2010 Complex released a video where he continued to explain the concept of "Mr. Rager": "The whole 'Mr. Rager' thing is not really like a split personality, it is me. However, it's just kinda talking about a certain mind state I was in, a very destructive mind state, where I wasn't thinking clearly.[2]

Music video

Kid Cudi first first spoke of the music video on March 5th, 2011 through his Twitter feed, when he announced "[the] maniac horror short will be released on halloween, rager short this summer, marijuana video this spring. i got you guys, no worries."[3] On September 8, 2011, Cudi released the official music video for "Mr. Rager". It was directed by Jérémie Rozan from Surface to Air. The video features a cameo from rapper Kanye West. The plot and concerns of the video have been subject to much debate.
