When Kid Cudi released his first official full-length project, A Kid Named Cudi, in 2008 he caught the eye of mega-talented Kanye West who then signed Cudi to his label, GOOD MUSIC. Cudi lasted about 5 years at the label but left on good terms. With five studio albums under his belt, Kid Cudi’s singer/songwriter/record producer/guitarist/ director and film director repertoire has brought him to work with numerous prominent artists like Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and even Kanye West. Breaking out with a guest spot on Ye’s 808s & Heartbreak, and his most recent project The Life of Pablo. Since then Cudi has went on to create a name for himself as well as racking up a cult-like fandom to defend his twitter antics.
The other night, the self proclaimed “Chosen One” aka Kid Cudi took to twitter to express his frustrations about the “fake ones” in the music industry. Calling Drake and Kanye West out for (frequently) using ghost writers. “Everyone thinks they’re so great,” he tweeted. “Talking top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them… My tweets apply to who they apply. Ye, Drake, whoever. These n****s don't give a f**k about me. And they ain’t f**king with me.” The allegations of them not giving a you-know-what, came shortly after Drake and Kanye confirmed the rumors of their upcoming collaboration. Cudi was triggered, but the truth of the matter is Cudi’s time has passed and he’s upset about; hence the low blows.
What do you think? Does Cudi have a point, or is he just blowing smoke?
