please retire before the first album

yeah

good because that Day & Nite shit is depressing

rap about it nigga. quit blogging.. telling us your feelings in all caps n shit.

these niggas make you wish they retired after one SONG.

Like camron said in that song from his mixtape double album “YOURE NOT F*CKING FIT FOR THE GRIND”

Ive told mad people that not everyone is cut out for that sh*t

Thanx my dude..I just wish more wack so called “rappers” would quit….

I mean this niggas hip hop? Day and night is a hip hop song?

Fuck outta here

WTF to the people above me. SERIOUSLY????? you are the bloggers that everybody hates and raps about in their songs. If you don’t like the dude, fine. DON’T COMMENT and go read something else. It’s a FREE INTERNET and there is no damn reason for you to sit here and spread your hate on dude.

People like you remind me of Bill O’reilley.

u rite dude. its not even worth it.so please go ahead n do us the favor.

Yo! So I’m checkin out some of this dudes songs and damn this shit is wack!! Yo Cudi, PLEASE stick to your word cuz you don’t sound like you want it any way. I’m all for the genre of space oddessy n shit cause I’m from somewhere else, too, but I would be a straight up hater if your shit started playin on the radio.

Cudi DID NOT sign a 1-album deal so there’s no way he can do this anyway.

Wow apperently you guys have never heard A Kid Named Cudi. Im gonna have to say that Kid Cudi is one of the top 3 up and coming rappers (Cudi B.o.B and Wale not in that order) and you guys want him to quit after one album? you have to stop judging people by just one song Listen to the Mixtape before you judge the artist, trust me A Kid Named Cudi was the best mixtape of 2008

One wack rapper down, 9 billion to go. Cudi sucks, his mixtape sucked (the idea his mixtape was the best last year is laughable, at best).

ant87: hating on haters, the lowest form of hate. Cudi sucks, and the peanut gallery agrees. Go cry somewhere else, with that “Leave Kid Cudi aloooonnnneee!” Britney stan bullshit.

Who cares this just proves he doesn’t give a shit about Hip-hop anyways. Who ever heard of someone quiting based on your friends saying you changed. If you get a decent job and move out the hood folks will say you have changed. Dude is a perfect example of the loser/superstar mindstate.

WOOOOW NOW LET ME JUS START BY SAYIN I AM NOT HATING ON HOMIE BUT IF U WANT 2 RETIRE AFTER UR FIRST ALBUM Y R U EVEN TRYIN 2 GET IN THA RAP GAME FIRST OFF “DAY AND NIGHT” IS NOT A HIP HOP SONG THAT IS A POP SONG PPL NOW A DAYZ NEED 2 GET THIS SHYT CLEARED UP HALF THA SHYT WE LISTEN 2 ON THA RADIO IS NOT HIP HOP SHYT IS POP OR PART OF SOME OTHER GENRE AND YES JUS CUZ THEY R RHYMING DOESNT MEAN ITS CONSIDERED HIP HOP….SO HONESTLY I HOPE THIS KID DOES WAT HE WANTS IN LIFE SO IF THIS GAME IS 2 TUFF 4 U THEN GET THA FUCK OUT CUZ SERIOUSLY IF U GONNA CRY BOUT PPL TALKIN SHYT AND THIS AND THAT WE DONT WANT U IN THIS GAME ANYWAY….THATS LIFE SON GET USE 2 IT WE ALL GET PICKED ON AND SHITTED ON AND DEAL WIT HARD TIMES…..LOOK AT ALL THA VETS IN THA GAME NOW U DONT THINK THEY GOT HATED ON?? GROW THA FUCK UP AND GET THIS EMOTIONAL ASS NIGGA OUTTA HEA…SHOUT OUT 2 MY DUDE WHO SAID BOUT THAT KILLA COMMENT CUZ MOST NIGGAZ IN THIS GAME R NOT FIT 4 THA GRIND PREACH!…….100

Obviously if you see a guy like Cudi, who has every outlet to be successful in this game and want out, it tells you that the behind the scenes action is all f*cked up.

It’s screaming “I’m working too hard and not getting paid…”

woooow, what a fag lol

….more room for me….

I’m waiting for Charles Hamilton and his Boyfriend Music to go ahead and abandon ship and get the fuck outta here too…lol

Everybody need to take heed to this cat’s article; especially those who currently want to be career artists. Being an artist is tough, whether you’re a musical artist or a graphic artist; especially when you have good talent that you’re offering up for exploitation. I think its good that he has taken advantage of the situation with a seemingly level head. He’s going to do well in entertainment.

Get him the fuck out of here anyway. He is trash

Day and Night? Ok…

FUCK THAT! Let me take on them same problems he got. I LOVE HIP HOP and all the bullshit that comes with the industry. Real niggaz feel me.

New Orleans is in the mutha-fuckin-buildin!! YA HEARD MMEEEEEEEE…….

The Real CIRCLE Entertainment…..Google Us!!

Cry us a river you weird, mohawk wearing, pink and purple clothes wearing, tight jeans promoting, Kanye downlow partner ass nigga.

Hurry up and quit !! Let someone else in who wants it.

Day n Night
Blah Blah B-Blaaaaah
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blaaaaaah
Blah Blah B-Blaaaah
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah B-Blah

So let me get this straight. Dude is quitting music because of the drama, only to go into a career with potential for even more drama? Music is an audio-only medium, people don’t see your face whenever they listen to your songs. Imagine what happens when your ass is on a TV show once a week. The drama aint gonna stop son. Bad choice.

It never ceases to amaze me how much hate peopel receive for being unique/different. Why are people only checking for dudes that sound like everyone else and/or past greats? I can only hear so much about how much drugs you sold or who you shot/gonna shoot. Not everyone is from the hood, and not every grew up on just hip-hop/rap.

Yayza…You’re right man, the drama is amplified in the acting sector. But, he may just be more of a actor than he is a musical artist and will have more passion to keep him goin in that arena. Either way, his prior involvement in the overall music and entertainment industry will have doors already cracked open for him to walk through. It’s good that he put it on blast rather than fade into oblivion; that way, he can feed off a lil bit of controversy if he does decide to stay in after the album. By the way, it’s the label’s fault for puttin that Day and Nite mess out there as his callin card. That fucked him waaay up with traditional Hip Hop fans.

KSA1001…You’re right bruh, “Not everyone is from the hood, and not every(one) grew up on just hip-hop/rap.” But this is XXL and the topic is more than likely goin to be Hip Hop related and rap artists, no matter what new shit they’re comin with, should always come with bona fide Hip Hop. Period.

yeah right. the same way Lupe Fiasco said he was gonna retire after his 3rd album right? nobody believed him either and of course he ain’t saying that shit no more either.

That’s just life man when you doing big shit people gonna talk shit about you.You gotta be stronger than to let the haters make you quit b4 you begin!

KSA 1001………..I totally agree. Some cats need to expand their mind. If not that shit could implode. I consider myself a fan of hardcore hip-hop. Yet when I was younger, my sister put me on to A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran & U2. I’m so glad she did that shit!!! And Day n Nite is nice as hell!!!!

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF RAPPERS TALKING ABOUT RETIRING WHEN IN MOST CASES THEY DON’T. TO USE THE WORD RETIREMENT MEANS [BY MY DEFINITION] THAT YOU ARE FINISHING A LONG CAREER IN A FIELD. I AM JUST WAITING FOR A 18YR OLD KID TO SAY “MAN, AFTER I FINISH THESE FRIES AND FLIP THESE LAST TWO FLAME-BROILED PATTIES, I AM GOING TO RETIRE FROM THIS FAST FOOD.” JUST BE HONEST AND SAY THAT THE STRAINS OF MAKING MUSIC IS TOO MUCH FOR ME AND THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO PURSUE. MASE, $HORT, JAY AND NOW IT SEEMS EVERYBODY ELSE WANTS TO SAY THIS LIKE IT’S SOME BIG EVENT. GUESS WHAT? IT’S NOT! THERE IS NO ONE CURRENTLY RAPPING OR NO LONGER RAPPING THAT I WOULD GIVE A HALF A F@CK IF THEY NO LONGER MADE MUSIC. ALL THESE DRAMA QUEENS SHOULD TAKE THIS AS LESSON WITH THEM - “IF YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN RECORDING MUSIC THEN JUST DON’T AND SIMPLY WALK AWAY, GET A 9-5 THAT YOU CAN HANDLE, STOP CRYING, MAN UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR LIFE IS AN EPISODE OF “THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS”. STOP SAYING WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO AND JUST DO IT.

It’s not for everybody. He probably built up this imaginary world where a little fame & notoriety would have made everything perfect in his life.

No dice.

Who knows how much time & energy he invested into this before he came to a conclusion that could have been reached by paying way more attention to hundreds of songs over the years.

I’m pretty sure he hasn’t been skipping through life drama-free, so I don’t see why this would be the cause for such a darmatic announcement. Common sense should have told him that this would only magnify what he’s already complaining about.

Good luck Cudi. Nobody said life was easy. If they did, go demand a refund.

ARE YOU F@%*$NG KIDDING ME? YOU RETIRE AFTER PUTTING IN YEARS AND DECADES OF WORK. IF YOUR CALLING IT A CAREER AFTER ONE ALBUM THEN YOUR QUITTING NOT RETIRING!

YOUR QUITTING NOT RETIRING!
YOUR QUITTING NOT RETIRING!
YOUR QUITTING NOT RETIRING!
YOUR QUITTING NOT RETIRING!

jeez they jay-z doesnt joke when he starts a trend squashing beef with enemy rappers - t.i. shawty luda game joe, retiring game lupe kudi and just like his trend of not actually retiring i know non of these ppl whos ay they r gonna retire will actually retire shout out to lupe nigga please

Fuck all these quitters like Lupe and Cudi; not that I’ll miss their shitty music, but they got a blessing that others are praying for and throwing it away.

Sure, hip-hop music ain’t as exciting and as financially profitable as it used to be, but why even start then?
If you invested the same time and energy into something else like learning, you might have got a degree or something by now.

What happened to the likes of Jay-Z, Twista and DMX who grinded for a decade before they got mainstream recognition?
These fools had it too easy.

finally, good news

You guys know he’s not gonna quit. He’s just going through a rough time in his career. He’s probably gonna regret saying this stuff later on anyways.
As for everybody else on here that’s glad he’s leaving, you guys are the reason hip-hop is dying. And I’m being straight up. I mean, I don’t care if you like him or not honestly, but you guys just want him to get out because he’s different. He’s a unique rapper and you don’t like how that sounds. He doesn’t sound like you’re idol Sheek Louch or your favorite rapper Birdman. He’s not talking about pushing drugs (’pushing’, not doing) or smackin hoes. Just listen to his songs. You are who he’s talking about!
I’m just trying to show you guys what you’re obviously not seeing. Cudi is just another aspect of hip-hop and you don’t like him because he’s different.

Fine, let’s just have it your way and we’ll watch hip-hop burn to the ground together…

Indy

“Who can say I’m being Hollywood? I’m not around anyone but Plain Pat and Emile”

Is that a shot at Martin Louis King, jr?

Anyway, I get it. If you hang around hobos like Pat and Emile no one has the right to call you hollywood

Whether we like it or not hip hop as “we” (80’s & 90’s niggas) know it is changing. I grew up in the 90’s and in alot of ways I am an illmatic era hip hop purist. I do like Cudi tho, and Wale. Cudi is already feeling burnt out…not a good sign for the winds of change.

……kid who?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE REST OF YALL IS TALKING ABOUT BUT I MESS WITH KID CUDI. I’VE BEEN BANGING “A KID NAMED CUDI” AND BIG SEAN’S “FINALLY FAMOUS VOL.1″ FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. CUDI TAKES YOU TO ANOTHER LEVEL WHERE YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO HIS SONGS LIKE 48 TIMES. “SKY MAY FALL” IS THE HOTTEST TRACK OUT NEXT TO JAY-Z “WHEN THE MONEY GOES.” EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHATEVER… G.O.O.D. MUSIC IS PROBALY ONE OF THE BEST LABELS NEXT TO THE ROC. I CAN’T THINK OF ANY OTHER LABELS RIGHT NOW TIME TO GO TO BED. PEACE CHECK OUT MIKE POSNER “A MATTER OF TIME MIXTAPE.”

Rae… you must have a lot a time on your hands to listen to some wack shit and how can you be great until you move from your grandmas basement.

Kid cudi return after the promo tour.

I hate when people play the “different” card..just cuz the shit is different,don’t make it hot..Sure i don’t wanna hear about guns,n drugs all the time either,but that don’t mean i wanna hear some london nightclub type shit either…
the bottomline is,artists are running away from rappin..When hip hop was @ it’s peak outselling country music,everybody and they mama was dropping verses,grinding trying to get heard..NOW,since hip hop aint @ that level anymore,niggas wanna jump into the “different” category….How are niggas not even rappin on songs considered hip hop ??? This niggas is pop artists…just cuz they black the hip hop ?? if they was white,they wouldn’t be called that..Fuck outta here..If he wants to retire,good…He aint in it for the love anyway

Nah,they not even pop artists….they TECHNO artists

EffYou…I agree with your “different” statement. I also think that most of the time “different” is code for wack amongst those who matter, but dope to those who can’t hang with it. There are some truely good music out there that’s different in it’s originality. Then there’s the garbage that’s tailored to be shoved down your throat like it’s the new hot shit, when really it’s someone’s wack ass attempt to add salt to something that’s already well seasoned.

niggas is haters i see cudi album is real shit if you cant seem to comprehend who he is or what his music is about fuck off ur thoughts dont matter cause even if he really was just to quit i give it to him he had a gameplan and goal and he accomplished that shit so big ups to him and the good music keep it coming

[...] signing comes a few months after Kid CuDi inked a deal with Motown. At press time, Universal reps had no comments on the signing.-Marvin Brandon Share: [...]
