KID CUDI THREATENS LABEL: "I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS F**KIN HOLY IN THIS WORLD"

CrookedLetter

G.O.O.D. Music's Kid Cudi is letting his voice be heard over not receiving the same amount of support and effort from Universal Republic as other artists, threatening "problems" to come if his issues do not get resolved.


Cudi unloaded his emotions and problems in an unexpected swoop Tuesday (January 8) evening.
"King Wizard 3.4 million views on Vevo, Just What I Am has 4.3 million and my sh*t is not on regular rotation on radio. Hmmm.," he tweeted.

"Trinidad James got 4.1 million views on his hit (rightfully so), and I hear that jam EVERYWHERE. Wheres my f*ckin spins???"

"Im talkin numbers. Im talkin stats."
"To my label, I swear to all that is fuckin holy in this world, if things dont change soon, theres gonna be some problems"
"I worked too hard on all this sh*t.

Producing, writing, directing AND executing the sh*t proper. I did my part, I put in work. Wtf"

"Yall kno I cuts no slack. Not w my music. Every song is my life. A piece of my f*ckin tormented soul. It matters to me. I give a f*ck"
"Done goin off and snappin my head side to side

"Aint nobody got time for that!!" (Kid Cudi's Twitter)

Back in March, Cudder defended lashing out at Universal Republic over lackluster support for his joint WZRD album.

"We were really hoping to have more [promotion], but at this point, it's a dead issue," Cudi said in an interview. "The numbers kind of speak for themselves. It lets people know that I'm not out here taking crazy pills. When I get passionate about something, and people hear me kind of outraged, it's not coming from a place of me being irrational, or being difficult to work with. I believe in something I've created." (Billboard)

RaySwift

what a cry baby.

jono

Its always sad to see an artist having to resort to these kind of tactics but I'm 100% behind anyone pitchin' a bitch at labels.

The label could give him a Jay-Z budget and push it harder than any project in music history, he still wouldn't move significant units. People just don't fuck with Cudi like that. Don't know why.

just.might.b.ok

man i get high while listening to KiD CuDi from time to time, hell i got high just with that Just What I Am song on repeat once, im still waiting for his next album (unless its some WZRD shit, fuck that)

CrookedLetter

I got the CS album back in Sept. and I have never listened to the Cudi song all the way through, just like the first 10 seconds, how is it?

just.might.b.ok

nigga stop, both of his man on the moon albums did huge numbers. Man on the moon 2 debuted at number 3 on the billboard top 200. His other album had a few grammy nominations.He sold more units first week than almost any other artist. You're ignorant.

ROZAYTABERNACLE

Cudi's only bad album was the last one, WZRD. I can understand them not putting their weight behind that album but hopefully they do with this one. The couple songs he's released so far have been good.

haute

so he had a " man i swear fo' god" nigga moment


I swear they should've never given you niggas the internet

t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088

Cudi's first album was great, everything since then been meh.... There not gonna be able to judge how well he'll sell off top tens and shit like that though but he does have a lot of fans....

King Lee

He's right Cudi has been dropping gems and the radio isn't picking that shit up. He doesn't get play on the pop stations and urban stations, what's going on with his promotion?

Sion

Well nigga better get on his grind, Trinidad James, Rick Ross, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar, Cole etc. hustle hard, they swarm social media, they swarm the streets, you know when a Ross album coming by his grind/work ethic. Producing, writing, directing aint got much to do with marketing. It's 2013, these niggas have been in the game too long to be blaming album blunders on the label. Shits tiring man SMMFH.

IceBergTaylor

Truthfully Cudi usually is on some missing in action type shit. Its like dude hides in a cave. He needs to be seen he cant depend on just the music even though thats how it should be. I'm shocked he isnt gettin any burn tho cause King Wizard is dope as fuck.

JDSTAYWITIT.

cudi dope ... hopefully this shit gets worked out

i actually think Kid Cudi has a chance to be bigger than what he is.

he has a point by the label not giving him the same push as he writes, produces, and arranging the album HIMSELF. besides Kanye not to many Hip Hop artist are producing, writing, and arranging thier whole albums.

Kid Cudi has been successful tho with two Gold critically acclaimed albums, Grammy nods, and a few hits.

i do think Cudi could be bigger if the label just put thier all into him just once. his music covers alt of demographics
