Kid CuDi is the latest Hip Hop artist to vent his frustrations with his label.
Cudder took to Twitter on Tuesday (January 8) to vent about his label – particularly about pushing his music on the radio.
First, CuDi pointed to his online presence not translating in radio spins:
CuDi then promised to give his label “problems” if it didn’t step up its game:

how many million youtube views did chief keef have and look how many records he sold?
Kid Cudi has two gold plaques
shut up bitch
Damn! lmao
Stay up Cudi. Forget the old media model and take control of your future. Point blank period. Cut the middle men out.
IndiCud will be a classic!
I swear to god, if Twitter didn’t exist, neither would this website.
word, there’s very little “journalism” involved when you just post tweets from different artists
Those two tracks he mentioned are dope as fuck too. Made me a fan again
It’s interesting that Cudi is talking about not getting radio love. His music was never played on the radio like that to begin with. He had Day N Nite, Poker Face and Erase Me. That’s it. And Erase Me wasn’t even a hit like that on the radio so all of this complaining is a shock to me. My guess is most Kid Cudi fans such as myself don’t even listen to the radio so he shouldn’t even worry about that.
and Pursuit of Happiness…
Indeed, but I think he’s looking to rack up since he did so much of this music on his own IMO….
What label is he even on? is he talking about G.O.O.D. cause i thought he already left his old label
Universal
he’s talkin about Universal not GOOD
Why does HHDX always give titles that make the artists seem pathetic. The title gives the impression that Cudi is a washed up artist bitching and whining. He’s simply making his point, assertively and strongly, that he has worked too damn hard and refuses any major company hold him back from greatness.
no hes pathetic
LMFAO LOOK AT THIS OTHER G.O.O.D RAPPER TRYIN TO GET ATTENTION BY NAME DROPPIN AN ARTIST WHO IS HOTTER THAN HIM..FIRST PUSHA TRYIN TO GET SOME SALES TO MAYBE GET JUST OVER THE 100K MARK 1ST WEEK…THEN THIS LIL EMO NIGGA HAS TO GRAB URBAN MEDIA’S ATTENTION BY NAME DROPPIN THE BEST UP-AND-COMER IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. THEY BOTH GON FLOP..I SAY THEY OPEN AT LIKE 85K..JUST LIKE YOUR FAVORITE STRIPPER
just… just shutdafuckup
Haaaa!
Teleport 2 Me is timeless music, where was that on the radio? And the video is even more epic, can’t believe how under the radar it is. True art, not for radio anyways.
Man on the Moon 2 went gold with no radio play and shitty marketing. Fuck mainstream that mainstream shit, when the music is good it promotes itself
Every rapper complains about their label when things arent going there way.
“Fuck that mainstream shit” was what I meant to say.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN BRUUh..U R SO “RITE IN”…..
WHO IS KANYE WEST BEST “SIDE KICK”
KID CUDI or “the infamous”….BIG SEAN….*FRE$H….*HUGE SMILE
Maybe if he made quality music people would listen to it.
suffering from small cock syndrome I see?
Did someone forget to tell Cudi that the radio doesn’t play good “real” music???
i second that, i do not even listen to the radio… on second thought if i know of a rapper constantly getting played on the radio, i am less likely to give them a chance because of all the garbage they play. (boston radio)
if cudi’s stuff is good then it will create a buzz and people will listen… guess his shit aint good.
it ain’t just boston bruh. radio is playing bullshit EVERYWHERE! LOL
internet & satellite radio is where it’s at. fuck AM-FM radio/BET/MTV/etc.
his problem is giving a fuck about radio plays in the first place. it’s all about the internet. get with the times fool
Call Drake? Bam hit. LOL jk kudi stans gona get mad. Lololol
Drop another hit like Day N Nite?
You have to think about the record label too. If I was a record label, I want to make profit too. I can’t give money to an artist and get less what I get out of it.
Next Cudi tweet: MY shit is more, it’s more john blaze than that. I GOT john blaze shit and they not really recognizing…
LOL
For real tho, I hate when artists cry about shit like this
“I’m makin’ records, I ain’t made no money yet, I done made- this is my fourth album yo, this my fourth album, I ain’t made a dime yet! This nigga made one song, he makin’ wild records! That “All Gold Everything” shit, it was aight, it was aight, youknowI’msayin, that shit was aight, it was cool…”
Hahahahha. Daz some funny sh8t
I like Kid, a lot but this comment made my day =))
Kick in the door mofo
hahaha
Lol that’s my fav interlude
Go cry at home, and leave that twitter sh*t alone
Goddamn, talk to the people on your record label
Do something, just leave that faket witter sh*t alone

^^^ You’re All I Need To Get By. That’s why he’s there.
^^ you know damn well that RZA remix to that joint was fuckin ill, and then the M-E-T-H-O-D Man never stopped rippin verses.
Shyne should be right on top of that list
THANK YOU KID CUDIs label u guys are on my christmas list for nextg year
I actually understand his point and it has much to do with the systematic choosing of songs and the agenda they serve. Yes his music is good, for example sake, 4.3 million wouldn’t of watched online otherwise.
Cudi pleaing for his songs to get airtime is just, but the radio won’t play ‘What I am’, the chorus promotes Marijuana – and the people who control what you listen woulnd’t want you smoking that and realising how much life f*cks us every day.
It’s all about agenda, Cudi makes good music no doubt, he just doesn’t fit what the media moguls want the mainstream to hear. Trinidad James? I won’t go into much detail, but I’m sure 99% of your other rappers talk about much more about cars, clothes and not to mention money – keeping you in the endless mindframe that spending your hard earning part-time or full-time wages like a multi-millionaire is possible.
I’ve ramble enough – just connect the dots already people, connect the damn dots.
i agree. good points.
interesting
interesting interesting u say
talk about catchin feelings, this twitter bullshit is no good for hiphop. be mad at the internet for fuckin up yo spins. a tormented soul, you emo bitch.
Nigga dissing Kanye???
I understand cudis frustrations. I honestly havint herd a cudi song on the radio since day n night.but I think cudi doesint even need the radio to sell records. His fan base is probably the most loyal one in hiphop. Lets see if there will be plenty of Trinidad James fans 4 years from now
Kid Cudi Sucks Anyway
Cosign to the max
Fuck the radio! They play the same 9-10 songs every hour! Like someone already said I think Day n Night was the only Cudi song I’ve ever heard on the radio. He’s got a loyal fanbase so he’ll be fine though. One of the best from the new generation.
kid cudi was a one hit wonder . career is over . he was never really hip hop he was pop crap . his music is trash
i kinda agree with that as well
Universal probably remembers than last rant he went on with the WZRD album so they have him on a time out.
That Day and Nite song was trash.
i agree, i couldn’t stand that song too
Even if you do not like Day N Night, there is no way you can justify Trinidad James (and many others) having their songs play on the radio and not Kid Cudi. Even if you are not a die hard kid cudi fan, there simply is no way you can say that his shit isn’t good enough for radio play. Have you listened to the garbage that gets spins lately? If Kirko Bangz can get played 6 times a day, I think they can spin Cudder at least once, right?
Real shit tho this niggaz new album comin out is guna be dope.
