Apparently, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. At least that’s the way it seems in Kid Cudi’s recent interview with Complex Magazine. In the cover feature, Cudi tackles topics ranging from cocaine to his venomous dislike of Wale. In fact, he seemed hell-bent on making a large part of this interview about their apparent beef. Interesting, to say the least … Check out some of the highlights.
On his heavy drug use …
I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps [cocaine], I was able to get through the day. But then I would smoke weed to calm me down, it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing [cocaine] … I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times.
On his desire not to be compared to anyone …
Did you see that Wale interview that he just did, comparing us to sports? Let me clear this up: I’m incomparable to anybody. I don’t care how people take that. No one can compete with me. I’m unf—wittable; no one can knock me off my s—. I’m an unstoppable force; I’m a bullet. My trajectory is to the sky. N—-s got to do something really spectacular to f— with me and my realm, and n—-s be so bitter that you hear it in their voice.
On his opinion of Wale and his Kid Cudi diss …
It wasn’t a shot. It’s just a simple-a-s rhyme by a simple-a-s rapper. You can’t let that s— faze you. That’s one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. N—-s ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.
On his displeasure with rappers taking shots at him …
The last album, I let people dis me, throw out those jabs in their verses and have their little slick remarks. This time around, I’m not f—–g around. I have no time to think about other n—-s. These other m———–s like feeding off another n—a’s energy, so they mention their name. You hear me talk about n—-s? I don’t even talk about Kanye, and that’s my homeboy! They talk about Kanye like they’re bosom buddies with this n—a. Talking about ‘I be in Hawaii’ — man, shut the f— up, why you got to tell everybody everything? Then people like Wale get mad that ‘Ye ain’t give him no beats—’Ye ain’t give you no beats because we ain’t f—ing with your raps. It’s not a conspiracy theory. We don’t f— with you musically, so we’re not going to provide music for you. The s— is a service, it’s a quality of a certain standard. N—-s are just so thirsty it’s ridiculous. I’ve been eating humble pie forever, and people still call me an a–hole. These people don’t know my f—ing life — now I’m going to give them something to talk about.
Sounds like the guy is going through quite a bit. You can check out more of his interview over at Complex. –djr
