Kid Cudi Speaks on Fame and Its Affects on His Personal Life



"I have a love-hate relationship with blogs, with the Internet in general. I think you have to. I don't read the blogs no more. I steer clear of them ... You have to have thick skin or they're going to chew you up and spit you out."

Jay-Z Breaks Down the Meaning of 'The Blueprint' Trilogy


"I always wanted to do three ["Blueprint" albums] ... Now it seemed like the perfect time, maturing in hip hop. We've never seen this level of career. Someone who's consistently at the top of the genre of music and recorded, and what do you do when you get to that point with everyone saying this is a young man's game. Do you still try to make a record like you're at 15-year-old or do you try to tackle different subject matters and stretch the genre?"

Video of the Day: The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah "House Of Cards"

The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah - "House Of Cards" from The Foreign Exchange on Vimeo.

Celebrating the Life of Aaliyah: Jan. 16, 1979 - Aug. 25, 2001

Photobucket

On this fateful day in 2001, Aaliyah Dana Haughton and eight others were killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas, after filming the music video for "Rock the Boat." She was 22 at the time. Aaliyah would have celebrated her 30th birthday this year on Jan. 16.

The saying "the good die young" rings true, especially in the case of Aaliyah. It's a blessing that we have Baby Girl's music and videos to reflect on a young lady who has been called "an angel living on Earth." Rest in peace, Aaliyah!



This is one of my favorite Aaliyah joints! Let's remember Aaliyah for the "one in a million" type of person she was.



Another classic ... She was the one who made baggy jeans on girls stylish.



The last music video that Baby Girl shot ... You are missed, Aaliyah!

West Coast Wednesday: Tupac (Makaveli) "To Live and Die in L.A."



I was driving around the LBC today and heard this joint come on the radio and got to reminiscing. This song came out in 1996 when I was all of 12 years old and Tupac went by Makaveli, but now it makes we want to throw up Westside and sip a 40. Love that summertime feel. Westside!

Some food for thought from the late and great 'Pac: "It wouldn't be L.A. without Mexicans/Black love, brown pride and the sets again."

Drake: "I Really Kinda Put Myself in Jeopardy in A Lot of the Songs"



"I am an honest man. I'm not going to sell you a dream. This is me. So if you're going to love me as an artist and a man, you may as well love me for me."

Kid Cudi Tells What Irks Him about Hip-Hop



Cudi airs it all: from what's wrong with hip-hop music and to why he's one of the top five artists saying something relevant in his music.

"Who cares about what I'm wearing? I'm about to go out there and rock this show. Should it matter if my shoes are clean? Or if my shirt is a brand-new shirt with some logo on it that I probably don't even want to wear? ... I like to keep it simple because I don't want people to get lost in the wrong things."
