While Kid Cudi ventured into a side project releasing a rock album with Dot Da Genius entitled ‘WZRD’, don’t expect the G.O.O.D. Music rapper to include mixtapes in his content arsenal. “We never really done mixtapes, because I just feel like it’s a waste of time,” Cudi said, according to thisbeatgoes.com. “You know when someone goes in to do a mixtape their mindset is instantly like ‘I’m not trying to make the best music here, I’m just trying to make something to satisfy the people’.”
On July 26th, The Knux brought their signature swag and their pal Kid Cudi to New York City’s West Village to shoot the music video for their new single ‘Run’. Members Joey and Krispy made sure the set was popping with a cool opulence and plenty of beautiful women. Once the video is released, fans will have the opportunity to live vicariously through the duo who literally have models running after them. The ‘Run’ video will be released soon and the single, featuring Kid Cudi, is available now on iTunes via Interscope Records.
Kid Cudi checked in with his Twitter followers (@wizardcud) on Wednesday (January 26), talking about his upcoming album ‘Wizard’, a mixtape called ‘A Man Named Scott’, the Shia LeBeouf-directed mini-movie/music video for Mr. Rager’s ‘Maniac’, working with Kanye West and Jay-Z on new material, and getting a dog.

Kid Cudi spoke with Complex magazine in a Q&A, where the rapper talked about getting exiting Lady Gaga’s tour and how the pop star called him out for being late to last November’s Montreal show on her tour when he came out to do ‘Make Her Say’. “Well, the story behind that is that we had a screen we were supposed to use that night, but her stage show was so elaborate that my screen had no room on stage for me to perform on,” Cudi explained. “Basically, they told me I couldn’t perform that night. I was there on time, got the news, and waited. I was going to go back to the hotel, but they were like, ‘No, stick around, Gaga still wants to do ‘Make Her Say’.’ I was there the whole time. Did you hear my response to her? ‘Sorry, I smoke a lot of weed’. This was one of those moments when I had to let it ride: ‘This girl just tried to play you, but you’re going to have to bite the bullet on this one.'” Read more, including his issues with Wale, at Complex.com.
