Kid Cudi – hiphopbangaz

Kid Cudi explains that “MOTM3” is “just a title”.

Kid Cudi has developed something of a cult following over the course of his last few releases, which have become increasingly experimental. Still, there are no projects more beloved in the Cudi catalog than the first two Man On The Moon projects (excluding his mixtape work that is).

When Cudder announced plans to record Man On The Moon 3 (assumed to be released after his impending double LP, Speedin’ Bullet To Heaven), early fans disappointed with his recent output rejoiced at the assumption that the project would be a return to his more accessible form, but according to Cudi, we’ll never hear that side of him again.

“News Flash: motm3 doesn’t exist. Its just a title. It will be nothing like any of my previous work just like all my releases,” he wrote on Twitter. My first 2 albums were meant to be untopped. I didn’t even think Id live to make another record after motm 2… My point is, u cant top timeless. And that was what we aim for everytime.”

The rapper respectfully told fans expecting to hear his early sound again to give up hope, writing, “So, if you dont like what Im doin now, please abort the train. Do not buy my music from here on out. Its not for you. No hard feelings.”

Kanye West brought out Kid Cudi, Jeezy & Mr. Hudson for “808s & Heartbreak” show in L.A., but the performance was met with technical difficulties.

Last night (Sept. 25), Kanye West performed 1 of 2 “808s & Heartbreak” shows at the Hollywood Bowl. It’s been nearly 7 years since ‘Ye released his 4th studio album, which is now hailed as one of the most game-changing hip-hop releases of the past decade. For his back to back shows in L.A., West wanted to perform the album front-to-back. He attempted to do just that on night 1, though, unfortunately, the performance proceeded more as a “dress rehearsal” than a seamless rendition of the album.

TMZ reports that the first half of the show was a success, before ‘Ye started running into some technical problems. They shared a recording of “See You In My Nightmares,” during which Kanye repeatedly says, “stop the track.” Apparently, before he restarted the song, he told the audience, “This is the best dress rehearsal I’ve ever had.”
