While on the promo run, Big Sean swings by L.A.'s Power 106 for the radio debut of "Switch Up" and, naturally, one of the topics of discussion was Kid Cudi's [...]
When Kid Cudi said he was leaving G.O.O.D. Music , he revealed that he told label head Kanye West of his desire to steer in his own direction. Cudi has since clarified what he meant by his original statement - a renewed focus on his own label Wicked Awesome, coming just a few weeks before Indicud 's April 24 release . Cudi has already released one album off Wicked Awesome, his 2012 collaboration with Dot Da Genius WZRD , However, as he told [...]
After revealing on twitter that he would be shooting the film Need For Speed starting at the end of this month, Kid Cudi dropped some even bigger news during his stop at Power 106. Through discussions with Kanye West, Cudi came to a creative crossroads where he decided it was time to leave the G.O.O.D. Music camp and go off on his own. Shifting focus back onto his music career and the development of King Chip, aka Chip The Ripper, Cudi will release Indicud without being attached to Kanye's label. Listen below. [...]
In a recent interview, Kid Cudi revealed that he would be parting ways with G.O.O.D. Music. Contrary to my initial belief, there appear to be no hard feelings. Apparently Kanye and Cudi had a talk and decided it was mutually beneficial if they parted way. Continuously losing faith in G.O.O.D. Music myself, I can't help but feel like this was the right move for the Cincinnati Kid. [ via ] Read some quotes from the interview below, and stream the audio at the bottom of the post. Indicud drops April 23. “Man, [...]

First, Q-Tip hinted that G.O.O.D. Music had every intention of following their Cruel Summer album with the sequential Cruel Winter. While we're not sure if Tip's been designated the official [...] The post 9 Things We Would Like To Hear With G.O.O.D. Music's "Cruel Winter" appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Welcome back, Cudder. Between the Cruel Summer standout "Creepers," the previously released "Just What I Am", and the new "King Wizard", it's apparent that Kid Cudi is back with a vengeance, and he knows it. The track's release was accompanied by a tweet from Scott Mescudi proclaiming, "mark my words, INDICUD will be the greatest album ever made. Know that I'm not lying." An empowering hook and one of the best first verses he's delivered since "Heart of a Lion" have me inclined to not temper any lofty expectations I might have [...]
Yes, you just read that right and yes, your pants may have just become very moist (don't you hate that fucking word?). In a recent interview at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards, G.O.O.D. Music rapper Q-Tip spilt the beans in an MTV News interview -and it was one big bowl of juicy, speculative beans. After the interviewer expressed his disappointment of not hearing Q spit on "Cruel Summer", the rapper called over G.O.O.D. teammate Pusha T to let the cat out of the bag. "If there's a Cruel Summer then there's got to [...]

G.O.O.D Music - Cruel Summer (Review) The last two years we have definitely been witnessing the rebirth of Hip Hop groups such as “Odd Future”, “Asap Mob”, “Black Hippy” and even “YMCMB” could be considered as an hip hop group. I am in no means comparing these outfits to the greatest rap group of all time “Wu-tang Clan”, because no one will ever be able to impact the hip hop world as much as the Clan did. However if there is one group that has the ability to pull off an outstanding group album, look no further than the G.O.O.D [...]
The odds were against this one from the beginning. When Kanye West founded label G.O.O.D. Music in 2004, it was just him, Common , and John Legend – three guys who, despite a few obvious differences between them, shared enough ground to make sense as a team. But in the years since, Kanye has added the likes of Pusha T , 2 Chainz , Big Sean , The-Dream , CyHi the Prynce , and Kid Cudi , some of whom are viable creative presences, some of [...]
