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, [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

There has been a lot of discussion about the future of hip-hop. Where will it go? What it would sound like? Who will be the key players? If there is any indication, the future of hip-hop might just sound like Kid Cudi, Asher Roth, and B.O.B. The three, along with New York rapper 88 Keys [...]

Regardless of what you think of Kid Cudi (his emo tirades are well documented by now), Cudi’s latest release “Poke Her Face,” is reinventing how music is getting pushed from the Internet to the mainstream. After the success of “Day N’ Nite,” and the Crooker’s remix, Cudi’s people were scrambling to find a follow-up to [...]

So yeah, I was ready for the Kanye/Badu/Common lovefest at the Red Bull Moon Tower to begin. I had prime real estate AND my SLR. It was about to go down. Then Red Bull got shut down by the cops. No worries. Me and Marcus were kidnapped by a girl from the “Austin hood” who [...]

Both Little Boots and Cudi are two of my favorite artists in 2009, and they both are on the fast track for success this year. I was glad I actually got the chance to meet both in Austin last week. Of course, I’m not surprised that this spontaneous on-stage meeting happened at the Perez Hilton [...]

KANYE WEST “Welcome To Heartbreak” Directed by Nabil from nabil elderkin on Vimeo. “Welcome to Heartbreak,” is the newest single off of 808 and Heartbreaks featuring known Reebok hater Kid Cudi. This is my least favorite song on the album, and personally I thought that Paranoid (feat. UK artist Mr. Hudson) or Amazing would’ve probably [...]
