Is KiD CuDi Gonna Retire?


According to a recent update from KiD CuDi's Blog KiD CuDi, a new comer in the game and a member of the XXL Freshman Class of 09, announced that his debut album, that is set to date this summer, will be his first and last solo album. For all CuDi fans don't read too deep into it thinking CuDi is gonna join some hip-hop supergroup (like Slaughterhouse, CRS, etc.) according to CuDi "THE DRAMA THAT COMES WITH IT IS MORE OVERWHELMING THAN THE SHIT I WAS DEALING WIT WHEN I WAS PISS POOR BROKE." The funny thing is a fellow class mate of CuDi's (B.o.B.) made a similar announcement, and niether is the time to make a statement like this as a publicity stunt, but this leaves me wondering, what did these guys expect when they got in this game? One thing a lot of new artist need to understand that this really is a business like it or not, so if you really are as artistic as you say and you have a message dont sacrifice your art but make sure you do everything it takes to get your message out their. I understand it wasn't what you expected when you were watching YoMTV Raps back in the day thinking that this was what you wanted to do for the rest of your life but you have to accept what it is.

Personally i dont believe he's actually done with the game for good but I'm tired of these long early goodbyes, B.o.B., The Game, Jay-Z, Lupe, KanYe, etc. Its honestly played out no offense because these are all guys that get heavy rotation on my IPod and I have a lot of respect for what their doing but all these rappers need to get it together and accept how lucky they are that they get paid all this money to make music, the thing they supposidly love.
