BET Must Have Mixtape: Dat Kid From Cleveland
So this comes as a bit of a surprise to me, but at the same time it doesn’t. BET published a “13 Must Have Mixtapes” column on their website and listed me and DJ E-V’s mixtape “Dat Kid From Cleveland” at #9 as one of those must haves. BET had this to say:
Dat Kid From Cleveland – Kid Cudi continues to keep his buzz up with this mixtape. Featuring the hit single, “Make Her Say” with Kanye West and Common, this is one mixtape that shouldn’t be missed.
Thank you? The thing is, this wasn’t released by Cudi or anyone in his camp. I’m not posting this to brag, I’m posting it to make a point. Read More
