Sean Price Softens Blow To Kid Cudi Fans [Video]
Boot Camp Clik's Sean Price has publicly apologized for controversially taunting Kid Cudi fans to "kill" themselves.
According to Price, his words were only meant to be perceived as a joke.
"You know what, I know I just said that, it's not no real, I don't know what you want to call it -- I shouldn't have said it like that," Price explained in an interview. "Even if you don't like they fans, you don't tell them to kill themselves because you know suicide [ain't] nothing to play with. So for that part, I apologize. It's music-wise though, I don't want to see them beat him up in the street or put harm on him...I still don't like his music."
Price initially mocked Cudi's fans and their support of his material.
"If you got Sean Price in your playlist and Kid Cudi in the same playlist, you need to don't be my fan no more, get outta here," Price said in a video. "Matter of fact, if you're a Kid Cudi fan, kill yourself. And that's all I got to say about that."
Last month, Cudi talked about no longer allowing artists to disrespect him.
"The last album, I let people dis me, throw out those jabs in their verses and have their little slick remarks. This time around, I'm not f*cking around. I have no time to think about other n*ggas. These other motherf*ckers like feeding off another n*gga's energy, so they mention their name. You hear me talk about n*ggas? ... N*ggas are just so thirsty it's ridiculous. I've been eating humble pie forever, and people still call me an a**hole. These people don't know my f*cking life--now I'm going to give them something to talk about."
Price has over two decades worth of music in his catalogue.
In the mid-'90s, Sean Price, known then as Ruck, and partner Rock dropped their debut album,Nocturnal, as the rap outfit Heltah Skeltah during a time when East Coast hip-hop was delivering mainstream and underground classics left and right. Heltah Skeltah and the rest of their collective, the Boot Camp Clik, never enjoyed the popular success of East Coast acts Wu-Tang Clan or Mobb Deep, but they did receive that same critical acclaim.

Kid Cudi Addresses NYC Drug Arrest, "I Was Wilding Out & Sh*t" + ‘Mr. Rager’ Pushed Back
G.O.O.D. Music's Kid Cudi reportedly addressed his recent New York City arrest on destruction and drug charges.
Cudi promised he does use any drugs except marijuana.
Kid Cudi has broken his silence over a June 11 arrest after he was accused of breaking down a woman's door and possessing liquid cocaine. "I know you guys were hearing some s**t about me in the news," he said at a recent public appearance in Brooklyn. "I was wilding out and s**t, but I'm good now. I just smoke weed. I know n***as die when they 27. I'm 26 now, but I promise I'll live til I'm old as s**t."
The rapper's New York City arrest made headlines in early June.
TMZ has learned Kid Cudi was arrested in NYC today for felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Sources say Kid took a 24-year-old woman's phone and slammed it to smithereens. He also allegedly broke the door of her apartment off its hinges. Cops arrived and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance.
Last December, Cudi was mistakenly detained by police in Los Angeles, California.
Two police cars cordoned off the road while a further three pulled up next to Cudi's vehicles. Passengers in the cars were then ordered out with their hands on their heads, before being made to kneel on the ground where they were handcuffed. It was only then that Los Angeles Police Department officers realised it was a case of mistaken identity. After the passengers had been released, the officer in charge explained that a resident in the vicinity of the shop had mistakenly identified the party as being involved in a burglary, before allowing Cudi's entourage to go on its way.
Earlier this summer, Cudi talked about the upcoming release of his Man on the Moon II album.
"thanx for all the love on the new joint yall. i really appreciate it sincerely. this was a idea i had that me and Chip decided to do for fun. as of right now its not on anything, we just recorded it and put it out just for the f*ck of it. itll be awhile til MOTM2 (still gunnin' for Aug release or Sept), so i might keep releasing some fun joints here and there. ill keep you all posted faaashow."
Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon II is scheduled to drop Tuesday, September 14th.

Kid Cudi Escapes New York City Arrest For Bonnaroo, "I Really Wanted To Be Here Tonight"
Rapper Kid Cudi managed to bounce back from reportedly being arrested in New York City yesterday (June 11) on a drug and destruction charge to perform at the Bonnaroo Music Festival concert hours later.
According to reports, Cudi was busted Friday and still managed to travel out to Tennessee.
Kid Cudi arrived in Manchester, Tenn. late last night (June 12) and made it onstage for his scheduled 2 a.m. slot at Bonnaroo, despite being arrested in New York City earlier in the day. According to the AP, Cudi was arrested Friday on charges of criminal mischief and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Yet despite the arrest, Cudi took the stage early Saturday, saying "I really wanted to be here tonight." Cudi is expected to join Jay-Z for tonight's headlining spot at the festival.
Details on Cudi's arrest hit the Internet yesterday afternoon.
TMZ has learned Kid Cudi was arrested in NYC today for felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Sources say Kid took a 24-year-old woman's phone and slammed it to smithereens. He also allegedly broke the door of her apartment off its hinges. Cops arrived and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance.

Kid Cudi Guns Down Late Summer "Man On The Moon 2" Release, "It'll Be Awhile"
Rapper Kid Cudi has updated fans on the status of his upcoming Man on the Moon 2 album, saying a late summer release is likely.
Writing via his blog, Cudder also talked about his new "Dance Yrself Clean"-inspired record which features Chip Tha Ripper.
"thanx for all the love on the new joint yall. i really appreciate it sincerely. this was a idea i had that me and Chip decided to do for fun. as of right now its not on anything, we just recorded it and put it out just for the f*ck of it. itll be awhile til MOTM2 (still gunnin' for Aug release or Sept), so i might keep releasing some fun joints here and there. ill keep you all posted faaashow."
Cudi's new record landed online late this week and also features a sample of actor Christian Bale.
When evaluating LCD Soundsystem's newest, we said This Is Happening opener "Dance Yrself Clean" gets things going perfectly. It's a great establishing shot, Murphy suggesting you laugh things off and cut a rug instead, even when the push/pull remains. Seeing that instrumental opening section as a blank slate, Kid Cudi takes the song -- or at least a 3:36 chunk of it -- in a different direction and calls it "All Talk." He starts things off with a sample of Christian Bale's Terminator: Salvation-set rant and ends with Murphy's "except you are an actual jerk and living proof..." Between that, we get verses from Cudi and -- as KC notes over at his site -- Chip Tha Ripper.
Producer Jim Jonsin recently talked about producing a Cudi and Kanye West record.
"We did one song together which is kind of rock-influenced," Jonsin said in an interview. "It was something I wanted to do with [Cudi] and just see where he would go. I played him a couple of tracks and decided to play him this batch here and he really liked this one with this rock influence. We tamed it down just a little bit, light weight, he was all open to do it and he killed it, wrote the top line and I helped him with some melodies, he killed one record...We did another record where I sampled a Duran Duran record. Kanye and Kid Cudi supposedly did that in the studio together and killed it but I haven't got it yet. From what I heard, it's a mix man. It's kind of some club stuff, some hip-hop traditional rap stuff, and then some rock-pop stuff. He's gong everywhere, it's similar to what B.o.B. is doing. These new artists are really trying to reach out to new people and fans."
Last month, Cudder announced changing the title of his album from Cudder & The Revolution of Evolution.
"WHY? i started making this project like a collab album, filled with fun and upbeat records that for the most part left you with jack sh*t when you were finished listening. i took a step back, went on tour, and realized im where im at because of the type of songs i write. every time i read a comment from someone saying ive touched their lives in some way is what made me want to stop f*cking around and continue pouring my life into my music. MOTM2 is dark by nature and instead of bringing you into my dreams like my first album, im bringing you into my reality. good and bad. it will explain more of who iam aswell as pushing the envelope musically. this project will focus on many dark, fun, and ignorant moments in my life since ive been kid cudi in a exciting and cinematic nature continuing the MOTM theme. this is my darkest work so far with a hint of fun and grooviness for those who like the classic chill cudi sound but elevated to another level. the things i cant speak will be the things i write. before anything else, you'd come to the conclusion i need a shrink, a stronger drug or a mentor. not a hug. a lot of you have read the news and think they know cudi, got some slick sh*t to say amongst your peers or just flat out hate me but you havnt the slightest clue of who iam. i will tell the story of Mr. Rager...."

Kid Cudi Digs Kanye West's "Cleveland Show" Appearance, "Kenny West Muthaf*cka!"
G.O.O.D. Music's Kid Cudi congratulated Kanye West for his "Cleveland Show" television appearance which aired last night.
Writing on his KidCudi.com blog, Cudder shared his thoughts on Kanye's animated cartoon performance.
"HAHAHAHA KENNY WEST MUTHAF*CKAAAAA," Cudi wrote Sunday (May 2) evening. "man congrats to big brother Kanye for a really good job on this, mad funny haha. we do it all over here at Dream On/G.O.O.D. "Watch us Bo Jackson this sh*t."-Cud"
The episode's co-star Reagan Gomez previously revealed West's role on the show.
"[Kanye's character] has a girlfriend who's played by Taraji [P. Henson] and Cleveland [Jr.] is in love with his girlfriend," Gomez said in an interview. "So they're kind of at odds and at the end of the show they have a rap-off, a rap battle. Everybody thinks Kanye is gonna murder Cleveland Jr. 'cause he's the sensitive one in the family and he never really says too much, but Cleveland Jr. kinda put a whooping on that a**. You have to wait and see but it's really, really funny."
The rapper portrayed an animated character named "Kenny West."
has kept a fairly low profile in recent months, but soon you'll be able to catch him -- or at least his animated alter ego -- in the May 2 episode of Fox's "Family Guy" spin-off "The Cleveland Show." You can see the first official image of West's guest spot in the new issue of EW, on stands today, or check it out right here in this post. In the episode, the rap megastar voices a 19-year-old local hero named, er, 'Kenny West,' who gets into a lopsided rhyme battle with the show's 'Cleveland Brown, Jr.' over the affections of a young woman who's voiced by Taraji P. Henson.
Earlier this year, the show's co-creator Rich Appel confirmed West's appearance.
"We knew that Kanye was a 'Family Guy' fan," 'Cleveland Show' co-creator Rich Appel tells the Music Mix. "He's made reference to it on his website and stuff. In the writers' room, we just thought it would be great to have him as a character on the town. So we came up with the story. He really liked it and said, 'Sure!'"

Kid Cudi Reviews "Nightmare On Elm Street" Movie, "Nothing F*cks With The Original" [Video]
Actor/Rapper Kid Cudi has shared his two cents on the new Nightmare On Elm Street movie and encouraged fans to head to theaters tomorrow.
Writing on his blog, Cudi took on doubters and showed support for the horror flick.
"go see it go see it go see it WHY: its a perfect date movie and the rebirth of Freddy Krueger with a modern day twist. the new Krueger played by Jackie Earle Haley did his thing and made freddy his own. him and Robert Englund are 2 diff freddys to me but both good at being creepy, psychotic and scary as f*ck WILL I GO SEE IT AGAIN ON FRIDAY? hell yea, this time on shrooms haha (joking...kind of) in the beginning your goin to be VERYYYY skeptical. if ur into horror like me, you dont wanna see a icon get rebooted the wrong way. but its cool for a remake, wayy better than a lot of remakes. NOT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, only because NOTHING f*cks with the original. the new Krueger played by Jackie Earle Haley did his thing and made Freddy his own. him and Robert Englund are 2 diff freddys to me but both good at being creepy, psychotic and scary as f*ck. IN CONCLUSION: if u wanna have a lil fun at the movies with a date or your homies this friday, go check it out. its not a waste of time. its mandatory actually. i mean cmon its Freddy Krueger!!!!"
Earlier this year, Cudi said he wanted to eventually leave music for an acting career.
Kid Cudi's first acting gig is for the new HBO series "How to Make It in America." When we caught up with him last night at a screening for the show, we wondered if he'll ever give up music for acting. "I'm trying to evenly balance them out right now, but eventually I want to leave behind music and just do acting," he said. "I only got into the music business to tell my story and inspire some people. I think four albums will do it, and when I'm done with my four, five albums, I'll switch it up. Once the story is told [musically], there's nothing else to say."
Last year, Cudi spoke with SOHH about his role in the HBO series "How To Make It In America."
"I can't really reveal too much," Cudi explained to SOHH. "But, I'm really excited about it, it's a great story it's kinda like the grind part of 'Entourage.' It's from the ground up, I mean these guys working five jobs and trying to be entrepreneurs and trying to be successful. It's a great show, I can relate to that story because I came to New York and I knew I wanted to make it so it's a topic that hits close to home with me so I'm just happy to be a part of it. It's a real series, yeah, I signed off for the season, so it's a legitimate show, it's the real deal."
He also has publicly turned down ventures into the fragrance and clothing industry.
"Never," Cudi said about launching his own lines. "I'm a fan of fashion; I want to be the consumer. I know it's cliche for artists to have their own brand and sh*t, but that's too much stress. No colognes, no perfumes, and if I did, it'd probably be, like, eau de Egyptian musk...[In New York], people's style is expressed more through their personality than what's in at the time. You see all different styles in New York, and that's what made me want to stay here. I experienced more in the first six years I was here than I did the whole time I was in Cleveland. It's cool."

Kid Cudi Changes Sophomore Album Title To "Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager"
Rapper/Actor Kid Cudi has announced that his sophomore album will now be called Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager .
Writing on his blog, Cudi explained why he changed the name from Cudder & The Revolution of Evolution .
"WHY? i started making this project like a collab album, filled with fun and upbeat records that for the most part left you with jack sh*t when you were finished listening. i took a step back, went on tour, and realized im where im at because of the type of songs i write. every time i read a comment from someone saying ive touched their lives in some way is what made me want to stop f*cking around and continue pouring my life into my music.

Last January, Cudi said his album had been changed from its original title, Cudder.
"I changed the name of my album," Cudi recently told fans in a video recorded during a Milwaukee, Wisconsin concert. "And I haven't told anybody else its title yet, it's called Cudder & The Revolution of Evolution. It sounds really dope, it sounds like [a really big thing.]"
Cudi previously revealed his aim to release another album just months after his debut, Man on the Moon.
"Cudder, I already got five tracks locked in," Cudi revealed in an interview. "We got Snoop, we got Pharrell. I just was in the studio with him. We got Jim Jonsin. I did a record with him. I'm gonna get back in the studio with him. Trying to get the right amount of hit records on this. It's gonna be the complete opposite of what Man on the Moon was. Man on the Moon was so serious. This one is gonna be more playful and fun. It's about having a good time. People reaching out to me wanting to collab is so bugged out. I remember when nobody wanted to do any song with me, let alone listen to my sh*t."
Featured on Jay-Z's Blueprint III album, Cudi previously hit up SOHH to discuss future collaborations with the rapper.
"Yeah man, it's really something that I plan on doing, working with Jay," Cudi explained. "Just getting in the studio and creating something. When I did the hook which went on Blueprint 3, Jay wasn't around. But it's really something that I'm flattered about, being in the situation, like I said, I just bugged the f*ck out but at the same time, we gonna move forward and try make some more original sh*t. I've yet to have this conversation with Jay but I hope we can come together for some more records."

Kid Cudi On A Bathing Ape, "I Love What They've Done Lately"
Rapper/Actor Kid Cudi recently shared his views on the A Bathing Ape clothing line.
Cudi, who is featured as a BAPE model for the summer 2010 catalog, explained the reasons he caters to the artistic brand.
"I was always a fan of the brand but it just wasn't something I could afford back then," he said in an interview. "I fell in love with BAPE because of their color selection and artwork. I love the style of their cartoons... I think BAPE is taking things to amazing new levels. I love the new designs and artwork. They stay true to classic BAPE style but including new and creative twists here and there. I love what they've done lately with my MILO character."
Last December, Kanye West explained his experience being the Spring 2010 cover man.
"THIS SHOOT WAS MAD FUN," he wrote Thursday (December 24). "THIS COLLECTION USES REALLY GREAT FABRICS, EASY TO WEAR CUTS AND STILL THE OCCASIONAL SUPER EXPRESSIVE DECADENT PRINTS. BAPE RAN THE LAST DECADE AND THEY'RE READY FOR THE NEXT ONE!"
Ye's shots were photographed by renowned camera man Keiichi Nitta.
Every season, BAPE releases a much sought after look book for its loyal and newly acquired fans to get a closer and more complete look at upcoming collections and items. The book is less so a catalog but more of a magazine chocked with features and stories tailored around the label's upcoming seasonal collection. This time around, BAPE enlisted the rather controversial but nonetheless popular and widely discussed artist/fashion icon, Kanye West, to model the label's Spring 2010 collection items in a photo shoot by Japanese photographer, Keiichi Nitta.
Cudi is currently working on his follow-up album to 2009's Man on the Moon.
"Cudder, I already got five tracks locked in," Cudi revealed in an interview. "We got Snoop, we got Pharrell. I just was in the studio with him. We got Jim Jonsin. I did a record with him. I'm gonna get back in the studio with him. Trying to get the right amount of hit records on this. It's gonna be the complete opposite of what Man on the Moon was. Man on the Moon was so serious. This one is gonna be more playful and fun. It's about having a good time. People reaching out to me wanting to collab is so bugged out. I remember when nobody wanted to do any song with me, let alone listen to my sh*t."
