Make Her Say Video – Sneak Peak
Here’s a 30 second snippet of the upcoming ‘Make Her Say’ video featuring Kanye West and Common. I’ve yet to watch this because of MTV’s stupid restrictions. Video drops next Monday. Spotted at HHNM.
Kid Cudi Interview with DJ Swerve
Cudi talks about his forth-coming tv series, his latest radio single Make Her Say, and mentions the producers on the album; Kanye, Ratatat, Mike Jean-Baptiste, Will.i.Am, Plain Pat, Emile, Dot Da Genius. “If you don’t have an eclectic ear before listening to this album, you’re gonna be forced too”.

Update on “Make Her Say” Single
Hot 97 (NYC) and Power 106 (LA) are just two of the radio stations to add Cudi’s new single to their rotation. Today, 25 radio stations around the country added Make Her Say to their rotation prior to the official add date of the song. (Via: MVRemix). Make sure to call into your local radio and request the song along with Day ‘n’ Nite.
Make Her Say is also climbing the digital sales charts quickly. Currently it sits at #23 on the iTunes Top 100 songs and #6 in Hip-Hop/Rap after only being available for less than 48 hours. Make Her Say is also now available on Amazon MP3 for $0.99.
The radio pick up is big as many people doubted it would gain air play because of its lyrics and the need to play the censored version. Look out for Make Her Say in next weeks Billboard Hot 100 as I expect it to crack the list. Keep reading for a “Make Her Say” widget which you can add to your own website. Read More
Make Her Say Clean & Explicit – Now Available on iTunes
As expected “Make Her Say” has hit iTunes on June 9 (Its already past midnight in some areas). I’d like to make it clear, this song is a mini-single and not his 2nd single. Cudi’s 2nd official single will be “Skiy Might Fall” which I’m expecting to drop later this month. Also, this will be on his debut album “Man on the Moon”, it was never planned/expected to be on the album originally.
The song is available in two versions, clean and explicit for $1.29. It’s currently only available in the USA and Canada, not the UK. You can listen to both the clean and dirty version below. I’m not providing the download links for this one. As far as I can tell, I don’t here much of a difference. But I never liked the song to much to really have listened to it.
Clean version first, then dirty:

NME have dubbed him “the next rap megastar” whilst The Guardian have declared him “the hottest new hip-hop artist in the US”.
