    Lissie – Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi Cover)

    I’ve been hooked on LA-based singer Lissie ever since her track When I’m Alone graced my monitor, but I’m even more enderard to her after watching this cover that she did of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness.” Loving the rock star swagger that she exhibits, combined with a raspy voice that sounds like old school [...]

    Single Review: Kid Cudi – REVOFEV

    Kid Cudi – REVOFEV [Audio clip: view full post to listen] We all know that Kid Cudi likes to cruise in his own lane. While Drake and other rappers from the Class of ’09 chase fame and fortune, Cudders is  comfortable sitting on his couch, rolling a blunt, probably watching World Cup. This aversion to [...]

    TV: Kid Cudi Shows You “How To Make It In America”

    I gotta confess something: An industry source told me about Kid Cudi filming a pilot for an HBO show months ago. At that time, I couldn’t tell anybody, and to be honest, I still can’t picture Cudi as an actor (on the flip, Drake would’ve been good with this and he has acting experience, but [...]

    Video: David Guetta feat Kid Cudi – Memories

    Funny story about this video. My friend called me up a few months ago telling me that he was going to be in a video shoot in Miami, and asking me “who the hell Kid Cudi and David Guetta was?” Explaining to him who these two people were was actually quite funny. Needless to say, [...]

    VIDEO: Kid Cudi – The Pursuit of Happiness

    Even though I completely shitted on Cudi’s debut album (sorry fam!), I’m loving this video for The Pursuit of Happiness. Actually the track, produced by MGMT and Ratatat is one of my favorite on the album, and the video, an art piece, is a simple yet piteous critique on our club culture. (via Jabari)

    Review: Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon…End of Day

    Kid Cudi Man on the Moon…End of Day Is there any room for self-deprecating hip-hop? The genre has always been about masochism, from the early days of rap battles to today’s conquests about how many hos a rapper can get and how much bottles of champagne they can pop before the night is over. But [...]

    VIDEO: Kid Cudi Interviewed in London

    So if you didn’t know, Kid Cudi is dropping an album this week, and my homegirl Marsha (of Soulculture.co.uk) caught up with the dude in London. Whatever you think about the Cudi, you have to admit that he gives some of the best interviews out of any of the “new class” of hip-hop artists. Instead [...]
