Kid Cudi has a deep appreciation for himself and his craft. Apparently he wants to release alt-Hip Hop songs and still enjoy the success of a rapper that releases radio-friendly songs. Like several rants before, he took to Twitter to vent about the inverse relationship between his song’s online play-count and radio spins. “King Wizard” even threatened his label that “there’s gonna be some problems” if some form of action isn’t taken.

Rihanna Poses Nude For GQ + Talks Mariah Carey Inspiration On ‘Ellen’
Rihanna gets (mostly) naked for yet another publication. This time it’s for popular men’s magazine GQ. They recognize her as the “Obsession of the Year,” which is quite fitting. Every breath she takes is documented, and everything she does is replicated. In the issue, she spoke on how business vultures view her and how she views herself.
“Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery.”

Listen: Kid Cudi ‘King Wizard’
Hear ye, Hear ye! A Kid named Cudi has a valiant assertion he wishes to proclaim. “Mark my words, INDICUD will be the greatest album ever made. Know that I’m not lying.”
The man on the moon self-produced his entire forthcoming LP, so the overly self-assuredness is to be expected. Of course I can’t cosign Cudders’ claims–I haven’t heard the album–but if “King Wizard” is any indication of what is to be expected of Indicud, it will indeed be a fascinating album.
