KiD CuDi Complex Cover (August/September)
Says the homie Joe La Puma:
I sat down with Kid Cudi for a deep and personal interview for our August/September 2009 cover. In the interview, Cudi talks about working with Kanye West, Drake, trying to avoid getting wrapped up in Hollywood, his groupies being spawns of the devil, and the heartache he’s endured after losing both his father and uncle to cancer.
Illustrations were done by artist AUGOR.
Check out the full interview with Cudi below:

I think Jay E would force Nas to step his game up on some not wanting to get outshined type shit. That would be dope

yo, this movie’s been done for like a year and some change. . . word is that they previewed it and they found it too dark for kids. . . but spike didn’t wanna change it.
but sendak only wants spike to direct it. . . so it’s kinda like a stand off.
