Spin is one of the few print magazines making it through the digital age and also one of the few that arrive at the Cafe, so when we read the October issue’sKiD CuDi, How To Make It America feature, we realize this is something our readers can relate to. Whether your in early 20′s or even your early 30′s you can appreciate the come up of this young man.
While we’re talking, Cudi excitedly rummages through a stack of scratched-up CD-Rs, pulling one out that says KID MESC: RAP HARD with three different Ohio phone numbers written in black marker. This is his first demo, from 2001. “I been drunk before, but I’m feeling this shit / I’ve been high before, but I’m feeling this shit,” he raps on “Party All the Time.” When the song is over, Cudi realizes it’s not so bad. “Man, I might redo this and release it!”
