Re: kid cudi
Given Kid Cudi's well-publicized split with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. music, it was jarring to hear his recognizable vocals sampled on Yeezus: "If you love me so much then why'd you let me go-o-o-o-oooo?" he belts on "Guilt Trip". Turns out that vocal is a few years old and Cudi wasn't happy to hear it on the song, he tells Complex (via MTV).
"I discovered that I was on the song via Twitter," he said. "I saw kids hitting me up, like, 'Are you on 'Guilt Trip?!' or saying 'Great job!' and I'm like, 'What the fuck is everyone talking about?" He explained that he recognized the song and the beat instantly once he listened. He was initially pleased, but quickly changed his mind: "Why not call me and have me come in there and give it? Why underuse me?" he asked. "Why put four bars of vocals to coax my fans into thinking this is a legitimate Kid Cudi feature on this song and it isn't?"
"Same deal with the G.O.O.D. Music album, the compilation," he continued. "Had I not given Kanye 'Creepers' [for "The Morning"], my only presence would've been on that one song, that I can't even remember the title for. I would've barely been on that album."
It's also easy to interpret the Cudi sample on "Guilt Trip" as a sly wink aimed at Cudi—it sounds like Cudi is asking, "If you love me so much then why'd you let me go [from G.O.O.D. Music]?"

Most shitty rappers know they suck, or at the very least are average, they just don't give a shit. This dude literally believes he's Hendrix meets Kanye yet he's absolute ass.B.

He's not a shitty rapper..hip hop fans underestimate the talent it takes to structure songs and make them sound good..it's not an easy task..you just can't have someone like Buckshot get on a YG or Future song and think he's gonna do a good job..he'll most likely fail..

Re: kid cudi
He is absolutely a shitty rapper. So what, he can arrange a song? Take your word for it, he's still one of the worst rappers I've ever heard.observe911 wrote:Req wrote:Most shitty rappers know they suck, or at the very least are average, they just don't give a shit.

you're acting like he's Pharrel or Kanye. He's not even Charles Hamilton.

Re: kid cudi
aight lets not go crazy here
cudis output has been iffy since his second man on the moon album, but that first one and the mixtape thing he put out before that was cool.
that alone should at least rank him above charles 'i shoulda just been a producer' hamilton
