Video: Shia LaBeouf Directs Kid Cudi’s ‘Marijuana’
Shia LaBeouf put on his director’s hat (it’s a fedora) to make a video for Kid Cudi’s song “Marijuana.” It’s a pretty student filmy effort — Shia follows Kid Cudi around Amsterdam with a super 8 camera (or is that a post-production filter?), where the artist mostly just hangs out and smokes weed. Good song, though. More »
Video: Kid Cudi As Jimi Hendrix, Featuring Kanye and McLovin’
In an odd pairing, Christopher Mintz-Plasse has a cameo in the new Kid Cudi video. Cudi dresses himself up as Hendrix in his track for “Erase Me,” while McLovin’ gets to play a British rockstar who parties too hard. And then there’s Kanye West in a golden Caesar crown. More »
Kid Cudi Fails At Redeeming “Non-Punchy” Image
Hey Kid Cudi, remember a couple weeks ago when we gave you props for stopping one of your shows to bring up the guy you punched in the face last year and apologize to him personally in front of all your fans? Yeah, that was cool. Especially because in hip-hop there is this history of glorifying violence, and though you seemed to be battling some personal demons, you were taking the right steps in making amends.
And then you had to… More »
Crush Links: Kid Cudi Throws Fit, Gets Arrested
Rapper Kid Cudi was arrested in New York yesterday and has been charged with felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance after he yanked one girl’s apartment door off its hinges and smashed her cell phone against a wall. Will she get an on stage apology, too? (New York Daily News)
Let’s think of more dancing-related puns to describe the blossoming romance between “smitten” couple Dancing with the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy and ESPN commentator Erin Andrews. Page Six… More »
Kid Cudi Apologizes To The Fan He Punched
Rapper Kid Cudi (birth name: Scott Mescudi) may hang with the big boys like Kanye West and Common, but he’s already leagues ahead of most his compatriots in terms of good manners. While hip-hop may relish its rep of beef-starting (East Coast/West Coast forevs?), Cudi recently proved that you don’t have to be hard just to sell albums when he invited a fan that he had previously punched to come on stage at a recent concert so he could personally… More »
Christian Bale’s On-Set Meltdown Sampled On Kid Cudi Track – You know what they say, when life gives you lemons (intensely popular viral video from last year), make lemonade (a sick track called “All Talk”). Listen here. (via Vulture)
Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit Of Happiness” Videos
Kid Cudi released an alternate video for his song “Pursuit of Happiness,” featuring MGMT and Ratatat. We’re digging the druggy, spacey way he plays with perspective in this new one, plus the appearances by the other bands. There are also random chicks in costumes. (Which makes a little more sense when you realize he is actually at a costume party, but tripping hard.)
The first version, on the other hand, features Cudi and Drake (in a skinny tie, swoon) spraying champagne… More »
Why We Love…’How To Make It In America’
HBO has already chronicled the rise of a group of guys from Queens with Entourage, so it’s not such a stretch to portray a scrappy, striving duo trying to make it in the Big Apple. Hey, as the song says, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

Fantastic New Compilation CD Out Soon!
There’s a hot new compilation CD that’s going to be released on June 30 called NOW That’s What I Call Music! 31 I have to admit that I don’t always have any interest in compilation CDs because they are someone else’s idea of what songs are hot.
But if you take a look at the track listing for this one, it’s incredible!!
Of course, the Black Eyed Peas’ hit Boom Boom Pow… More »
