Cudi took his persona of playing the part of a brooding loner several steps forward on his studio second studio album "Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager". His sophomore effort contains a five-part narrative following a character who attempts to act like the hip-hop star he has since become. Hence, he plunges into a world of bravado and after-parties, with their never-ending supply of drugs and women. In an interview with Complex magazine, Cudi shed light on the title track's meaning. He explained "Mr. Rager" is about someone who is tired with reality and looking for thrills and excitement by any means. Cudi said, "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." On October 20, 2010, Complex released a video for a shoot their cover story on where he continued explaining the concept of "Mr. Rager". He elaborated, "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.”
