Some people who've listened to KiD CuDi's first album have considered it as "emo" rap, since most of the songs deal with slow-paced, and somewhat depressing themes. KiD CuDi seems to have taken this to heart, and says that his next album will be more fun. Hopefully this won't turn his current fans away from what they like best about the rapper.
"We got Snoop, we got Pharrell. I just was in the studio with him. We got Jim Jonsin. I did a record with him. I’m gonna get back in the studio with him. Trying to get the right amount of hit records on this. It’s gonna be the complete opposite of what Man on the Moon was. Man on the Moon was so serious. This one is gonna be more playful and fun. It’s about having a good time." [KiD CuDi - Talks 2nd Album Collaborations - Watch Here]
CuDi says many artists are hitting him up for collabs. "People reaching out to me wanting to collab is so bugged out. I remember when nobody wanted to do any song with me, let alone listen to my sh–. It’s been humbling since Kanye reached out. People seek my creativity; that’s dope. I don’t do the normal sh–. I don’t make the normal songs. So when people reach out, that means they’re on the same frequency." |

Eminem was recently interviewed by Complex magazine. Check out some of the questions and answers below, and here's the link to the full article.
So the sequel won’t reflect your reaction to the first one and its reception? Eminem: Well, when I finished Relapse, I had a whole album of material that didn’t make it that I wasn’t ready to throw away, so that was going to be Relapse 2. But then I got with Dre in Hawaii and started recording more, and now the new material has knocked out all the old songs. But yeah, the new material is definitely different. Making Relapse, I was still working the drugs out of my system, so there was a lot of…just jokey shit. It was a lot of punchline-y, funny, shock value—kind of going back to The Slim Shady LP. And that was cool, but I’ve kind of flipped the page. Now I’m going for songs instead of one-liners. I don’t want to make shit that you hear once and then the joke’s over; I want to make records that you could play a hundred times, a thousand times.
On “Forever”:
Speaking of being on your game, who had the second-best verse on “Forever”? Eminem: Who had the second-best verse? [Laughs.] I don’t know, I like everybody’s verses—but I like Drake’s verse a lot. I wouldn’t say I had the best verse; everybody approached the beat different. Kanye was crazy, too, and Wayne. I just saw the beat differently than anybody else did; for some reason, I felt like the beat was a double-time beat, so I rapped faster. |
The Game recently took some time off from the studio to talk about his upcoming R.E.D. album, Pharrell being his new favorite producer, and him and 50 Cent being the modern day "Beatles". Hit the "Read More" for the full interview.
