Leaked Music

Kid Cudi has several songs that he has recorded that have been leaked. From the leaked music there has been several mixtapes/demotapes made by his fans. In the end all the mixtapes are music that was originally created by Kid Cudi and in that respect I think that they at least deserve a mention. That is why I listed them in "Other", but maybe "Leaked Music" or "Fan Made Mixtapes" would have been the more appropriate choice? Devonbts (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2009

Leaked music would be 'Know Why' 'Do it alone' - on Demo And 4 interludes or 3 cant remember New demo tape —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.125.136.247 (talk) 04:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There has been way more leaked music than what you've listed. Cudi officially has 1 mix tape and 1 studio album with about 30 total songs. He easily has 60+ songs. So that means over half the music he has made is uncredited on wikipedia; which i think is, well... retarded. Is it really that bad of a thing to have a "Unofficial MixTape" section?? Its not hurting anyone, and it would only be helping Kid Cudi to expose more of his music.

Cudder: The Revolution of Evolution

The name of his new album is not Man on the Moon: Ghost in the Machine. It is Cudder. Please update the page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKswr6LAW4g Zeroexe93 (talk) 00:40, 4 September 2009 (UTC) Name Change!!! http://datnewcudi.com/2010/01/10/new-album-title-cudder-and-the-revolution-of-evolution/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.118.187 (talk) 00:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redo of the page

Who ever re-did the main page really cluttered it and made it hard to read. It should be left it a more layed out form. Please do not change this.

Dat Kid From Cleveland Mixtape

Please!!! Stop adding Dat Kid From Cleveland as an official mixtape of Kid Cudi, because it is a fan-made mixtape!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks. JGab12 (talk) 17:06, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Associated Acts

As stated many times before: Kid Cudi is not associated with Danny! in any way, shape or form. He is also not associated with Lil Wayne. Just because they are set to play a show together in the UK this Summer does not make them associated. Stop adding these two acts to the associated acts please

Johnny Polygon should be associated with Kid Cudi, they have both worked together and did a remix to Johnny's "Riot Song" which features Kid Cudi. The song is also featured in HBO's How to Make it in America. On HBO’s ‘How To Make It In America’ mixtape hosted by Kid Cudi, Cudi states over the opening track that Johnny is “… one of the illest up and coming artists. We did a remix to this song so look for that soon.” http://www.last.fm/music/Johnny+Polygon The song is also featured on Johnny's 2010 Mixtape Rebel Without Applause http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/mixtape/id.1032/title. Johnny opened for Kid Cudi on December 22nd and 23rd of 2009 at Club Nokia in LA. He also has a cameo in his Pursuit of Happiness video. TeamPolygon (talk) 22:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

KiD CuDi

Kid Cudi or KiD CuDi? what is the correct way of representing his name? -91.84.180.159 (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

pronunciation of "Cudi"

Yes, I agree. I looked up the pronunciation in Wikipedi and was heartbroken that it was not shown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterbillionaire (talk • contribs) 23:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's pronounced CUH-dee, and he was born on January 30, not October. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.219.129.1 (talk) 23:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have any references to prove the pronunciation? I was in SF a few weeks ago and the announcer pronounced it like 'cutie'. That doesn't mean he was right but I'd really like to get a definitive answer. Does he say his name in any of the songs? OlYeller^Talktome 19:16, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did more searching and realized that the nickname comes from his last name. Therefore his name is pronounced 'cuddy' as stated in the article. OlYeller^Talktome 19:12, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His name is spoken at the end of Day N Nite... sounds like "coddy" in the song, but is more likely pronounced "cuddy"... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'new song'

'make her say' with common and kanye west. somebody update? 121.98.147.250 (talk) 04:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

early life

There should be a section on his early life in Cleveland, which inspired him to write the album. The interview can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhpqgUqVplk. The one free thinker (talk) 21:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC) New Album "On another Planet" needs to be added —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.150.225.132 (talk) 02:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actor?

The article says he's an actor, too but I don't see anything in the article that he's acted inLilac22281 (talk) 14:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we need some more information about his past and future in acting. if someone has some... Antoine g92 (talk) 17:09, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He did a pilot for a show on HBO that is supposed to be airing this fall call "How To Make It In America." There is an entire blog about how he was cast in the show on his official website. it looks like he is going to be credited as Scott Mescudi on this show, which may be part of the confusion. http://www.kidcudi.com/news/?p=434 that is the link to Cudi's blog on the subject —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.232.152.240 (talk) 04:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi made his network television debut on September 11, 2009 playing "Pursuit of Happiness," with the electronic duo that produced it, Ratatat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanmerritt1 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

update

Cudi's upcoming debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day is to be released on Universal Motown Records. →the album has been released; someone update it. 74.244.29.221 (talk) 23:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be glad to... can you provide a reference? - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the information is already there... - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:01, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo with converse shoes

I don't know what is Wikipedia policy concerning brands and advertising, but maybe it would be good to avoid contributing to the gobal commercial stuff on Wiki, no?

Nah, it's just a picture. If he would be endorsing Converse, for a photoshoot or something, that would be something else though. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 14:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cudi played arguably the best concert of all time at Bucknell Uviversity in April of 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manuforever7 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

     Cudderisback (No spaces) is a freestyle, not a mixtape.
