Complex.com Interview with Emile

Cudi-Emile-Dot-Studio

It’s time for the Urban Gentleman to answer some questions. After the Complex.com interview by Joe La Puma with RATATAT yesterday he now presents us an interview with Emile about the making of Kid Cudi’s album. Emile is Cudi’s co-manager alongside Plain Pat and is also the producer behind 4 songs including “Cudi Zone” and “Soundtrack 2 My Life” from Cudi’s debut album.

Complex: Did you or Pat or Cudi ever feel like this album was too bold for a debut album? It’s not the most Hot 97-friendly record…
Emile: Yeah I mean, that wasn’t even needed to be thought about. We’re not the type to even really give a fuck about all that. It is what it is. Like when you hear “Day ‘N’ Nite,” you know it’s incredible but it’s not like a generic radio record. It just so happened that the people heard it, and loved it, and it managed to find a place in our world. I never even thought about it, I think we knew what we were doing was good and wherever it fit in, it fit in.

They discuss the making of various songs on the album, how they came to working with each other, the first record that they did together and tons more so make sure to read it. Head over to Complex.com for the full interview.
