I have to say that very rarely do I regret to hear artists saying they are calling it quits. From Jay to Luda, no one has yet to make me say "damn" when they announce retirement. Until today when I read of Kid Cudi's blog that he plans to hang up the mic after the release of his first album.
Apparently the stresses of hip-hop stardom have been too much for Cudder and he states "After the release of my first LP this summer, I am not making any more solo albums". He continued to write "I am falling back on being an artist. The drama that comes with it is more overwhelming than the shit I was dealing with when I was piss poor broke." To add to what Cudi was feeling and how deep his passion is to leave the game he stated "One of the only homies I got in this game, Wale, is worried about me ’cause of shit he hears. Like, WTF? Who can say I’m being Hollywood? I’m not around anyone but Plain Pat and Emile. Who can say that shit? Motherfuckas talkin’ shit here and there, spreadin’ rumors, makin’ jokes, tryin’ to judge me, and for what?" Unlike Jay and Luda, this sounds like dude is for real.
Cudi is currently set to star in the new movie "How to Make it in America," a comedy pilot that follows three twenty year-olds in their attempts to make it in the big apple. There's also no word if Cudi's project "Man on the Moon: The Guardians" will be released to the masses. If this retirement thing is true from Cudder, all I can say is the game will miss you, Super Official will miss you, and the best of luck to you in any and every direction you take.
