ebrahim at it again

another video from a dope, talented artist.

welcome to heartbreak

kanye west track featuring kid cudi. not supposed to be the next single on the album... but i'll let kanye tell you that.

"This is not the next single, 'Amazing' is the next single. This is the video we’ve been working on for the last month. We know there is another video out there using the same technique so we were forced to drop it now."

kid cudi drama

in other kid cudi news, the new artist was supposed to perform at some point this weekend during all the nba all-star festivities, but reportedly had an argument with reebok officials. security was called, and cudi was tazed. while many reports and blogs have said he was arrested, kid cudi was not, and simply left the venue.
other reports suggest that cudi and reebok were arguing because he refused to wear a pair of reebok high tops (shown above) and opted to wear a pair of jordans. however, cudi on his own blog stated that he did tell them he didn't want to wear them, but decided that he will wear them, forcefully. by the way, if i had to be wearing these reeboks, i'd be pushing for my j's too!

by the way, if i had to be wearing these reeboks, i'd be pushing for my j's too!

here's a small tid bit from cudi's own blog:

"as far as wut REALLY happened, i kno the truth and GOD kno’s the truth and my peoples who were there kno the truth and dats all dat matters…im not finna sit here and break down the whole story bit by bit, scene by scene. yall can believe wut yall wanna believe, i do this for me, my family, the people who like my music and to fulfill my destiny on this earth….thats it, all this gossip column shit is fa suckas….im on some other, leave me the fuck alone, i jus wanna create music, leave me the fuck alone, please!

when suttin else happens (and im sure it will) i will not b mentionin anything on my blog and i will not explain myself on here….this is my last explaination to the world….next time, if it doesnt sound like suttin id do, then 9 times outta ten its suttin i wouldnt do."

kid cudi - day n' nite

kid cudi will be on bet's 106 & park this thursday to premiere his official video for "day n nite."

not gonna lie, pretty excited for this one.

the mixtape about nothing

so this mixtape is old, but with all my continuous posts here and there about wale (more are coming, know this!), i figure i should share his most recent mix tape. this came out back at the end of may in 2008 and was put up by sites elitaste and 10deep, two online realms that wale runs with very closely.

the mixtape is really really good, both production-wise as well as his flow. it's inspired by seinfield as you can see by the album art, but even the titles have a specific "the" before each track like seinfield episodes. and there's no way you can hate on that cover. it's perfect. download link below:

the mixtape about nothing

just a quick note: his new album, with no real release date is entitled "back to the feature" and know this...it's going to be produced by the genius mark ronson, kanye west, just blaze, 9th wonder and the virtuoso french electronic tag team, justice. that's what's up.

blind man's colour

blind man's colour is a new experimental group out of florida. their myspace tags them as experimental, psychedelic and ambient. i don't think there's any other way to categorize them. the production behind the dreamy vocals is definitely pretty fly.

kanye's been talking about them for a few days, and they are starting to get a little exposure on the web.

yo, that kid cudi

not going to lie...i am nowhere near tired of day n nite. not the original, not the remix. i can't get enough of the track. a lot of people are saying they are tired of kid cudi, saying that he'll disappear again in a few months once people stop bumping day n nite in the clubs...

nah. i truly think cudi is gonna be one of the biggest artists in 09. if i'm wrong, oh well. he's already all over my playlists, cds and i'm banging that kid named cudi album over and over again. with his first full-length album, "man on the moon: the guardians" slated for early 09 under kanye's g.o.o.d. records, there's a new mix tape out there. not new per se, since it's considered to be his greatest hits on a few mix tapes thus far, but it's a whole new look on a mixtape, coming with 21 tracks, music videos, interviews and a short documentary on cudi and some images.

in an interview with the guardian, a uk pub...he talks about his upcoming album. "I’ve been telling everybody it’s going to be the most magnificent album of 2009 and that’s just what it is [laughs]. You know what I mean? I’m not going to say: 'It’s the greatest album of our time.' But people do need to be ready for it. It’s going to be some real, next-level shit."

if you don't already have that cudi mixtape, then go ahead and download the anthem, cause cudi is sticking around for a little bit.
