Kid Cudi recently spoke to A Bathing Ape for their 2010 Summer catalogue. Hypebeast took the time to transcribe what was said in the piece, but below is an excerpt from the interview that recounts a story he told of his time working at the BAPE store in SoHo.
Did you hear any interesting stories about your time there?
I remember Kanye coming in one time and I was helping him get a couple things. I forgot to take a sender off of one of the jackets he bought and I had to run out the store to catch him before he left. Pretty funny me chasing after him in SoHo haha.
He has since signed with Kanye released t-shirts with BAPE. He won.

Beyond all that look at the Pharoahe Monch clip halfway through that is what we used to call rapping!

Millz spits a little something and after the jump cries like a baby about the XXL Freshman 10 cover. And I agree with him about Vado, but stop the whining yo. I’m not saying those lists and covers are completely worthless, but they’re designed to make people mad, and you keep falling for it.
