Thoughts on My Mind | Present & Future | 2010 8:22:00 PM

People think I'm weird lets be honest here. People say I'm a jerk, they say I overreact. The thing is... ha. I'm fourteen who's trying to succeed now. Not later, not anytime after I go to college and graduate and shit like that. The thing is some people don't understand the concept of of using your past for your future. I was just listening to Diggy's mixtape thinking it was going to be crap. And you know what it wasn't. Why doubt a kid that is on grind going hard for his dreams like me? I mean I'm not saying I want to be like him but, it's a perfect example of my state of mind.

I know I'm going to be the best. So when people ask why I'm so weird I say I'm on another planet meaning when your thinking about now and living for the now "cause your only fourteen years," I'm thinking "Wow, they really don't understand that time is NEVER GOING TO STOP. It never will. That's why when your talking about me to your friends having all the fun in the world, I'm on a different planet pursuing my dreams of becoming the youngest mogul in the game living on top while all of the other kids look at me like "how the hell did he do that?" For all the family that have been there for me, I'll always still be here posting my life and my progress to my dreams. I'm just saying where I am right now. And trust me, fame is caliing 2010 is the year family. Fame. It's around the corner.

Flashback Post | COMPLEX Magazine Interview's Emile on the Making of KiD CuDi's Album 8:06:00 AM

Complex: For “Cudi Zone,” I remember Cudi saying he had the first verse done, and then eventually finished the second verse at a later time.

Emile: He had the verse forever and me and [Plain] Pat were like “’Cudi Zone,’ what’s up with it?” and Cudi would just blow it off. So me and Pat were just like, fuck man, this record is so dope but it went on so long that I started to wonder if this monster of a record was going to be on the shelf, just like if it was ever going to get finished. A long time went by, and he just wasn’t going to force it. Cudi doesn’t force his stuff when he works, it’s either going to happen or it’s not going to happen. Eventually one day, it was real nonchalant, months and months after we had this record and he was just like, “Oh yeah, I got the ‘Cudi Zone’ verse.” I almost didn’t believe him, I was like, word? Not only did he come in forever after we did the first verse but he did the second verse and it sounded like he did it the exact same day he did the first verse. The tone was cool, everything was cool about it. It was like OK, shit we’re done. Sweet.

Complex: Now how much of a time span went on between the first verse and the second?
Emile: Man…we did “Cudi Zone” and “Solo Dolo” I think back-to-back in like two days. It had to have been six months, I don’t know exactly. It was a while, I’m going to guess between four and six months.

This Ish Was All I Knew 7:37:00 PM

The big man and Wheelchair Jimmy just came out with the visuals with a new single named "Say Something," I remember hearing this song on the radio and just automatically noticing those the up and down of the synths. The beat is pretty Timbaland I have to say though that the synths are dope, and Drake's verse is just ok, nothing special. But, I have heard better production wise from Timbo so in the end I think it calls for a TDK rating. This conclusion is taking the beat, the lyrics, and the orginality into play. My "that downtown kiid" song rating conclusion for this song: 8|10, based on the fact that Drake did have a impressive hook that's actually catchy and even has meaning which I admit is hard to find now a days in and out of the radio. Also the beat I appluad, but unfortunatley the verses not so much. So it's above average just not stellar.
