KiD CuDi with the Rotten Apple Chicks

Here is a video of KiD CuDi just clownin' around with the Rotten Apple Chicks from Alistradio.net. He seems like a fun guy to hangout with. Reminds me of some of goofy 

acts that you see from Lupe Fiasco. 

Article on the Current State of Electro Rap

"A good example is Kid Cudi. His song “Day N Nite” and its related remixes were huge this year on the European club circuit, with its minimalist, gated beat and melodic sing-song raps. So huge, in fact, that Diplomats member Jim Jones was inspired to make his own version of the track, with his own semi-professional music video. This is a guy who once made his money on rugged street tracks in the name of drug corner supremacy and here he is, suddenly amped to make a plaintive pseudo-cover of a rap ballad about being a lonely stoner. He’s since dropped shockingly referential raps on a bootleg remix of MGMT‘s “Electric Feel.”

Here is a link to a very interesting article discussing this emergence of electro rap and how CuDi has shown the potential of this genre of music. I highly suggest reading this article in its entirety.

CuDi's unreleased track?

Yesterday I posted a video in which I claimed that CuDi had an unreleased track with some Kanye samples on it. However, now that I listen to it I realized that this was the intro from the Sky High Mixtape by DJ Benzi x Kanye West. So it makes me wonder if this was just another CuDi freestyle or if he actually using this track. Either way it was a nice rap. 

Here is the video 

And here is the song

Q-Tip sees KiD CuDi as the future of hip hop

In an interview with Eyeweekly.com Q-tip discussed where he saw hip-hop going. In reference to the comment   “We’re coming back to a different approach. It’s not going to be De La Soul or Queen Latifah again, it’ll be The Cool Kids and Kid Cudi." 

This is awesome for KiD CuDi to have the support of such greats like Tip!

Day 'N Night Music Video

Alright so, I am obviously a little late on this, but a version of KiD CuDi's Day N Night Music Video leaked to the internet and CuDi is not happy. Not only because it leaked but also because some people are doing some shady activities, people are signing off on CuDi's creativity. Anyways here is the post from his blog.
