TSS Presents 15 minutes with Kid Cudi


The Smoking Section had a chance to sit down and interview Cudi.  Here’s a snippet of the interview:
TSS: The vibe I get from you is that you don’t fit the mold of a “street dude” and a lack of street credibility can hold back any new rapper. Are there “hood” aspects to KiD CuDi we otherwise wouldn’t know about?

KiD CuDi: I don’t like to be labeled as anything. I just like to consider myself a well-rounded person if I had to label myself anything. To say someone is “hood”, I think that word is just given a bad connotation. I have been through a struggle. Everybody goes through a struggle at some point. So I do know about living in the ghetto. Like, I don’t even say “‘hood.” “Hood” makes it sound cool. There’s nothing cool about the ghetto and that’s just real talk. I’ve lived in the ghetto—I know what it is. I grinded in the ghetto out here in New York. Coming from middle-class suburbs and coming to that, I just saw both sides of the spectrum.
