Ian Edelman On Cudi & Pusha T’s Acting

Thursday, December 22 2011 4:42 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

In case you haven’t heard, earlier this week, the ass-hats over at HBO cancelled How To Make It America. Creator Ian Edelman chopped it up with Grantland about the axe and Kid Cudi and Pusha T’s roles on the show.

How about Kid Cudi? Think he has a long, fruitful acting career ahead of him?

I do, man. I thought he lit it up. When he was cast, he wasn’t a famous rapper. He had a mixtape out, and I saw him on YouTube and I thought, this is a great example of how this character moves in the city. And then I bumped him into the club, and he came in and read, and he got better and better.

What about Pusha T?

I knew him from his music, but I saw that he was coming in with no real prior acting experience and did a phenomenal job. He brought an awareness to the show [for rap fans]. And his character, you realize he’s an aspiring rapper, and that everyone’s on their grind. And we were always looking to cast that double threat, the music and the acting.

How did you decide on “Chinese New Year” for him to rap for Rene?
He picked it all.
