Kid Cudi released his Speedin’ Bullet To Heaven album in 2015, and ever since, Kid Cudi has been in the headlines for reasons other than music, including talks about suicide and much more. Today, the Cleveland rapper returns once again with the announcement that he’s never releasing his highly-anticipated album, Man On The Moon 3. Peep what he had to say below.
On never making Man On The Moon 3:
“Guys, you have to realize: I came up with ‘Man on the Moon’ when I was a young man. People change their vibe! We can follow the same template and do the five-act split. Sonically, I’m still going to be where I’m at. Honestly, I was ready to live up to the obligation and do Man on the Moon 3. I haven’t been dicking around. I was planning on doing it after ‘Speedin’ Bullet.’ But the ‘Speedin’ Bullet’ response tore me up. It made me realize what’s most important. I’m getting back on the bike again and doing what I do best: me.”
On how he reconciled with Kanye West and got on The Life of Pablo:
“That was the first time I had been around him and his team in a while. In order to get back into the creative process, we had to talk. I’m not one of those people who’s just going to come around after a while, jump in and make music. We needed to have a big bro, lil bro convo. As soon as we had that, we were good. Whatever we were dealing with, it was a beautiful thing to clear the air about. I’m really happy to be back working with my friends.
‘Ye and I have speckles. Maybe we’ll both be in the same place at the same time and be like, “Let’s do this” and have 30 songs with each other. But for now, I’m just happy to lend a hook. The last thing I want to do is write a rap for someone else’s song. I’d much rather have a hook and fall back. And that’s what Kanye wants from me. I sing and Kanye ensures me that it’s dope.”
New album this summer
