The G.O.O.D Music stable is seriously sick..good to see them all on one track. Pretty much all my fav artists..well not Charlie Wilson (no offence).

KiD CuDi - Pursuit Of Happiness [Alternate Version]...

If you haven't heard the KiD CuDi album, cop it now, its very big. When an album has only 2 songs I don't love, its freakin good.

Chip Tha Ripper – The Cleveland Show (Mixtape)...

Pretty dope, he's Kid Cudi's protege. Props to Menace for putting me on.

KiD CuDi 'Most Stylish New Yorker'

Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi, 26, musician, actor and star of HBO’s new fashion-world dramedy How to Make It in America; Tribeca

His style: “Simple and classic.”

His inspirations: “I always took [style tips] from my older brother and sister, who wore simple, classic things. But I still layered a lot, and in high school, I was a young young’un, all Phat Farmed–out, wearing Sean John, Ecko, Rocawear and Akademiks. I felt like I needed to buy what was cool, instead of just wearing comfortable shit. Now I feel like my personality is this character, and when you watch a cartoon show, the characters aren’t changing their outfit every 15 seconds. That’s why I wear the same jeans every day.”

Favorite local stores: “BAPE, A.P.C. and American Apparel, though I think I’m gonna pass on [AA’s meggings]. I never want to be with my girl and have trouble figuring out whose leggings are whose. I like What Goes Around Comes Around for old concert tees. Oh man, I got this Sgt. Pepper cartoon Beatles shirt there; it was, like, $300. I didn’t even know how much it cost—I thought it was gonna be, like, $80 at most—till I got to the register and was like, Oh mah gawd! Good Lord. But it’s classic vintage rock, you know? I also love Opening Ceremony—I bought five adult-sized Max costumes from Where the Wild Things Are there. I’m trying to do a denim collaboration with A.P.C., but I haven’t reached that yet. Hopefully they’ll read this and they’re down. Hint, hint, wink, wink, chop, chop.”

Favorite designers: “I love what [Tomoaki] ‘Nigo’ [Nagao] does with BAPE (bape.com)
, and what KAWS is doing for Original Fake (original-fake.com). I hated suits until I wore a Calvin Klein; they just fit me. But I don’t know high-end designers and shit; that’s not my world. I dabble though. I like Louis Vuitton accessories, but I’d never wear their clothes. No offense, it’s just not my steeze.”

On sneakers: “I’m into them, but I don’t collect. Hell no, I’d never sleep outside the Nike store. For some shoes?!? I like to get one pair of shoes and wear them till they’re dirty. Besides, I don’t walk—I glide, like butter. Float like a vampire. I’m like Louis Vuitton, but smoother. He wishes he were like me.”

KID CUDI "CUDDERISBACK"

Kid CuDi - Pursuit Of Happiness...

KiD CuDi - Man On The Moon = ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!

As the title of this blog post says, this is my fav album this year. There have been a few I have really liked like Asher's 'Asleep in the Bread Aisle and Em's Relapse, but I am just loving Cudi's album. I am surprised I love it so much as for the longest time I just couldn't see what the big deal was with this guy. Day n Nite was cool, but after that I was like meh nothing else going on.

Then I went to the Wireless festival where he performed and I was like WOW he is awesome. So I checked out his mixtapes again and for some reason it just clicked and I was really feeling him *pause*.

So I was really looking forward to the album and now having it many plays through, I bloody love it. You know an album is good when you very rarely press the skip button.

In My Dreams, Soundtrack 2 My Life, Simple As.., Solo Dolo, Heart Of A Lion, My World, Day N Nite, Sky Might Fall, Enter Galatic, Alive, CuDi Zone, Make Her Say, Pursuit of Happiness, Hyyerr...If you didn't know or realise these are the names of his songs, this is 14 out of 15 and these are the one's I like. The last song on the album is ok, but I am just not a huge fan of it. But 14 out of 15 isn't bad at all is it?

It's a very different album to whats out at the moment, he has this monotone singing style then he raps, his subject matters are different to everyone's. It's an album in the vain of a 808's and Heartbreaks or Andre 3000's The Love Below...it's rap but its kinda not rap, i's just different but awesome lol.

To wrap it up, defo worth a purchase, if you liked his singles so far you will love the album. Fav songs on the album are Alive and Pursuit of happiness...

KiD CuDi - Make Em Say feat Kanye and Common....

Wireless Festival was the nuts...

Went there sunday, not knowing much about it as I didn't even know it was coming up. I got a text saturday night from my mate Sam saying meet at 2pm yeah? I was like o_O was that for me? To which he replied, of course, Wireless tomorrow...thank God I didn't have anything else planned...

Anywho it was really good, got to see Kanye, Kid Cudi, Q-Tip, Calvin Harris, N-Dubz, Chipmunk, Example and a few others. Was fn immense, so much better then I thought it would be.

The biggest and most hyped moment of the day was when Cudi did Day n Nite, everyone was just waiting for him to singing it and the place went INSANE! He did the original song first then, did the remix and peeps went bonkers, was so sick. He then jumped off the stage and EVERYONE rushed forward, it made me wonder where the hell that space came from as we must have moved forward like 10 places.
















Chipmunk...where do I start, it was soooo surreal seeing all these people feeling him so much, it wasn't long ago i saw him spitting on dvd's as an up and comer, he killed it.
















Q-Tip was fn great also. He is someone I liked before but I have gotten to love *pause* alot lately due to the podcast I listen to (Juan Epstein) where they go on about him and Tribe Called Quest all the time. For someone so laid back he has mad energy on stage. He did life gets better from his most recent album which made my day, as thats one of my most played songs on my itunes, fn love it.
















N-Dubz were really good, didn't do some of my fav songs but they were big nonetheless and Tulisa was looking FINE!!!!!
















Example is a dude I only heard one song of a while ago, then I saw him on the train quite a few times randomly and wondered where I knew him from lol. Anywho he was awesome, so much energy, everyone in the tent was feeling him. When he did some heads, shoulders knees and toes remix the crowd and myself went crazy.
















Kanye was top of the bill and he didn't disappoint, it was only at the end when I realised how many hits this guy has. Song after song were songs I liked. Yes his lyrics are often corny or whatever, but MY LORRDDD its catchy. The biggest pops of the night was when he did American Boy and probably Stronger...'Say You Will' was also immense.
















Anywho wireless was the ish, defo going next year...
