PAPER Magazine – 25 in 2009: Kid Cudi
I posted the covers (seen above) awhile back but here is the article on Cudi for the 25 in 2009 feature that Paper Magazine did.
My whole thing is that life is about progression,” Cudi explains. “And I try to attack that on everything that I do, that’s how I try to live my life. It’s important to try new things. That’s the only way we are going to evolve,” he continues. “Evolution, revolution. When you think about it, it’s only the most important artists who do that.”

Complex.com: The Uncut Interview Outtakes
By now you’ve all probably read the cover story, heard what he had to say about the interview and even seen some behind the scenes sketches, but now its time for more. Being Cudi’s most personal interview yet, there was plenty more said that didn’t make it into the magazine. In the uncut raw conversation, the kid from Cleveland talks about growing up in Ohio, his eagerness to join the Navy, run-ins with the law, and how he really felt when Consequence took a jab at him. Here’s a bit from the uncut article.
Complex: Speaking of inspiration, I know “Day N’ Night” was inspired by your uncle, who passed away from cancer. How did that effect you?
Kid Cudi: I was just dealing with so much. I’ve mentioned this in other interviews but not as detailed. Like, “Oh, I was going through a lot of shit at the time.” But it’s some real shit, man, muthafuckas were struggling. I almost didn’t get a chance to see my uncle before he passed. He was Muslim and his funeral wasn’t this big extravagant funeral, he just wanted to be in this pine box. We took him to the cemetery, we buried him, and out of all the funerals I’ve been to…like, we always left before they put the body in the ground; some people can’t handle that visually. But we just stood there like he wouldn’t want it any other way. And when they put the dirt on him I was like, if it wasn’t for this man I wouldn’t be here.

Do you consider yourself a weirdo?
Kid Cudi: “Weird” itself, even in the dictionary, is just something that is different and unexplainable. A weirdo is someone who follows their heart. I’m definitely weird, ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Behind the Screen: Kid Cudi’s Video Show
Many of you who’ve been to the Great Hangover Tour have raved about the video/light show thats going on along with Cudi’s Performance. Similair to what Kanye had for the Glow in the Dark tour their’s one giant screen. Digital Content Producer talked with Jonathan Goldstein and Cameron Yeary about the setup and video content for Cudi’s tour. According to the two, there is no moving lights involded with the video content.
“There are no moving lights,” he notes. “Some people would find it hard to get emotion out of a static show but with the WinVision surface and the lighting behind it we’re able to play with an interesting dimension. The lighting and video interact with each other all the time, never over-saturating but really adding dimension.”
