Kid Cudi Says “We Need More People Approaching” Rap “Like An Artform”

    In the midst of a Twitter rant deriding commercialism in Hip Hop over the weekend, Kid Cudi wrote, “rap music is a hustle I respect, but we need more people approaching it like an artform w some peace of mind.”

    Cudi, who released what he has called his best work to date in Kid Cudi Presents SATELLITE FLIGHT: The journey to Mother Moon in March, began a string of Tweets about Hip Hop with a note that “it’s not an impressive field to be in anymore.”

    Earlier this month, Kid Cudi guest starred alongside Method Man in the CBS drama “Scorpion.” Cudi, who acted in the HBO series “How To Make It In America” previously, played the part of an electronic music producer and prodigy in “Scorpion.”

    2. kudi should be getting on some hot colabs like a bout the money remix with TI and drake maybe jay,kendrick… growing his brand.

    3. he should be getting sponsored by somebody while his name still has pull, getting in movies, introducing new ideas

    4. I swear ever since TDE has come out with fire that has touched mainstream the whole game is cluing on, Kid Cudi is good but he should have been saying it a long time ago.

    5. Cudi speaks the truth. There’s just waaay to much garbage that people put out. Better to kill your darlings and make qualitative music, like Illmatic.

    6. No, we need more niggas who ain’t tryna be white boys (Cudi, Tyler, Drake, etc). This nigga had a video with all white bitches in it, yet you knock another dude for tryna get over on a gimmick?!? GTFOH

      1. Fuck you nigga kudi is right, everyone sounds the same now, no creativity, no styles or sounds are sacred anymore, back in the day you’d get shitkicked if you bit someone’s flow or style.
