Complex.com – Cudder’s Kicks
Complex has been highlighting how sneaker-savvy a celebrity is every Wednesday, and today they take a look at Cudi’s footwear history from Vans and Chucks to Yeezy’s and Louis. Full gallery via Complex.com.
Complex.com Best Album of 2009 – Man on the Moon
The love for Cudi’s debut album “Man on the Moon: The End of Day” continues. Complex.com placed the album at #1 on their Top 25 albums of 2009. Check out the full list here.
Hip-hop’s lonely stoner threw the “debut rap album” blueprint out the window with his bold opening statement, a somber trip into the mind of Scott Mescudi. With producers Emile, Plain Pat, and Ratatat driving most of the music, Man On The Moon shows a remarkably fully-formed sound—dark, melodic, spacious—a feat that most unfocused artists strive for their entire career. Mixing the easy thump of hip-hop with the relentlessly introspective sensibility of indie rock, Cudi pushed the boundaries of both worlds, perfectly capturing 2009’s unapologetically creative spirit.
On a separate note, Amazon.com is having an MP3 sale again so grab it while you can for only $5.

Interview with ILLFONICS about Enter Galactic
After this week’s in-depth interviews with RATATAT and Emile, Complex.com continues their series on Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon: The End Of Day with a new Q&A with Matt Friedman, one-half of ILLFONICS, and the man who produced “Enter Galactic.”
Complex: Was your experience working with Cudi different than with other artists?
Matt: I think that the first thing that stands out to me is just that melodically, it’s almost really like working with a singer. On “Enter Galactic,” he mostly just kind of sings, then does some spoken word, then raps, and then goes back to singing. It was cool working with an artist that versatile because a lot of the times when you’re working with rappers or singers, it kind of puts you in the box of what they do. Most artists just do one thing and hopefully they do it really well, but I think creatively he can do a lot of things and it’s inspiring to work with someone like that. Even when we were throwing ideas around in the studio and singing extra lines, the way he hears the music is definitely really cool.

Complex.com Interview with Emile
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.
Complex.com Interview with RATATAT
If you weren’t familiar with Brooklyn duo RATATAT’s music prior to the release of Cudi’s debut album, you sure got a good taste of what they’re capable of with the soon to be hit Pursuit of Happiness and Alive. Complex.com editor Joe La Puma sat down with Evan Mast (one half of RATATAT) to discuss working with Cudi on the album.
