King Chip Discusses Kid Cudi Leaving Good Music

[vanruddy]

it's weird - i love cudi's music a whole lot but i can't imagine cudi being a boss. no disrespect to the man, just from his rare interviews and stories about him, he just seems to me like someone who needs guidance at times from other people who are equally or more original than he is.

i don't know how leaving GOOD will work out, but i do wish him all the best. still will be a fan.

[HawkYUNGINMusic]

That's a good point man. Im a huge Chip and Cudi fan, but I dont agree that Cudi is just a pop artist now. Every album and mixtape Cudi has put out has been strait fire and so has Chip

[WyattEarp]

Cudi leaving and starting his own thing is almost exaclty like Curren$y leaving Young Money and starting Jet Life, itll work out.

[vanruddy]

Cudi started back smoking weed over a year and a half now (see his album's lead single "Just What I Am". and i know what Cudi has going for him, im insinuating a big part of that is due to brand association with GOOD and the fact he had smart influential figures around him to guide him in dark times. i'm not doubting cudi's genius, merely his ability to maintain control and to lead. he may be good at it, but i feel skeptical. as i said, no disrespect to the man

[JuiceGodBeats]

Man... you would think King Chip would be able to express himself better than this.. It took him 2 minutes to say he didn't really know

[eurorey]

cudi is a boss, hes got his own style and he is his own, if rick ross can start a label cudi will have no problem at all,

[wataloopus]

cudi sold more records than pusha t, big sean, and john legend, and with no super big hit record or radioplay. I live in LA and listen to the radio every day, not once did they play a Cudi record besides the day he showed up to radio stations like Power 106. The industry too focused on turn up shit, and Cudi dont wanna be a part of that ratchet movement

[HannibalCaestus]

I feel you. I'm a HUGE Cudi fan. He's just not that type of individual.

[QuadrantBottomHalf]

Its always conflict when you have artist who is ceo because other artists on the roster wont be first priority. P Diddy and Gay Z is a prime example.

[BluntPowder]

kid cudi probably got allot of people trying to sign him but like he said hes tryna do his own thing and I don't blame him because I always thought he had potential to do it

[thesillyzebra]

he has a song called 7-8 rings that says he always wears 7 or 8 rings

[vanruddy]

without mentioning you nor i are behind the scenes to know if anything you just said is factual about kanye, Big Sean also doesn't have a history with hard drug abuse (i.e. coke), depression and erratic outbursts of anger. Big Sean i can see on his own, i'm skeptical about Cudi.

[YoMommaSmellLikeHotDogWater]

The money is in shows, and Cudi's tour demand is insane and will remain that way. He has a daughter now so he doesn't even smoke weed. It's obvious if he's leaving...

[raxx]

I liked chip better when he was "Chip The Ripper" & the "Clevland Show" was my shit .... Dog my life is like a movie !!! Haha

[MrKAHutch]

You must like pop music! Listen to Chip's "Gift Raps" and tell me Cudi could make a RAP album like that.

[msluvbug]

Lol yall need to change them batteries in that fire alarm

[YoMommaSmellLikeHotDogWater]

He doesn't even need a major anymore. Big Sean could leave and still do good with his fan base. Kanye is not running GoodMusic right, he's too busy keeping up with the kardashians.

[DEPARTUERS]

those rings are hot ... where can i buy them from???

[onjawa]

Do you even KNOW who is in GOOD Music? Example: Q-Tip, Common, John Legend... They don't make "bangers" they make GOOD MUSIC. Cudi left to venture off on his own, to grow as an artist, to be himself and not part of something.

[ashleybraner]

If cudi don't leave he's ruined and I'm a die hard cudi fan love his work he's gonna get to big for G.O.O.D music group plus he helped mode kanye and G.O.O.D music (sorry cudd I have to do it to'em)this is why him leaving makes perfect sense he's about to drop his greatest work as of yet and like khan said tell them give me 50 million or imma quit cudi got and offer and khan don't wanna match or do better and how could he cause of his other acts cudi did right more creative freedom plus work wit
