[Rodney Blazershorts]

It seems wildly unnecessary to me to start his high notes that low.

[Gilad]

I guess I could remove the C4 section, but his belting pretty much starts there.

[centrifuge]

How does one hit a C#2 in falsetto?
And, would this classify him as a bass, would you say?

[Gilad]

If you look closer the shades of blue are different shades. The blue for the C#2 just indicates that it's a clickable link, not falsetto.

I wouldn't call him a bass. The standards to be considered lower placed enough are, ironically, pretty high. Probably a baritone with a very strong 2nd octave.

Do you have any notes in mind, that you'd consider particularly impressive?

[clem]

Cudi is listed as additional vocals for this track. I think this backing vocal F#2 is him at least. There could be more buried in the rest of the track too.
