Kid Cudi Rages Against Record Label
Tuesday, February 28 2012 4:52 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True StoryKid Cudi and Dot Da Genius’ collaborative project, WZRD is in stores today. Can’t find it? Well, according to Cudi it was undershipped. As he’s done in the past, Cudder turned to Twitter and lashed out on the label for its lack of support.
Ok so just a heads up, my weak ass label only shipped 55k physicals cuz they treated this like some indie side project tax right off. So i apologize on behalf of my weak ass major label. And I apologize for the lack of promo, again, my weak ass major label. They tried to rush me thru this so i can just give em another MOTM, but guess what? Fuck that, next album is WZRD. MOTM3 on hold til 2014.
who mad??? not me and @DotDaGenius : ) So its def gonna be tough to find one in the stores guys, I’m sorry about that. I gotta go out and find one too, becuz my weak ass label never even gave us a copy of our own album. FAIL!!! Im lettin Universal Republic have it, fuck it. What they gon’ do, spank me?? hahahaha
AND Teleport 2 Me, Jamie aint on the radio!!!! like helloooooooooo????? HIT HIT HIT!!!

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
He was right about the no promo thing. I completely forgot about the project.

Mr. Rager
shit aint even on spotify
WZRD!! Damn you Universal now we gotta wait another year for MOTM III
I love WZRD and all but I miss his raps. But it’s whatever tho WZRD for life!!! Keep rocking out Mr. Rager!!!
This nigga Cudi aint hit 1 million followers yet?
And I like shit like this. I like when the artist publicly embarrasses the labels. Let the fans know what REALLY went on cuz these labels aint shit.
This is why I fuck with Cudi. Fuck Universal. Wzrd Album is dope.
I bet most fans were looking more forward to another man on the moon then another wzrd lol
“WZRD” is a phenomenal album!!! If you haven’t heard it yet, don’t criticize it.
@BRKLYN
WZRD is on Spotify now. I was just listening to it a little bit ago
maybe no one cares and they want you to put out MOTM 3 cause youre a rapper and not a fuckin rockstar…
WZRD sucks. It’s like bad rock, made by people that don’t understand the genre. And if Kid Cudi really does come from the heart on his shit, then he’s got to be the most self-obsessed, shallow douche ever. Every single song is about himself and how much you must love him or else you just don’t understand.
This WZRD album is real but damn we gotta wait until 2014 for MOTM3 smh
Oh God no, not another WRZD album.
Don’t really like that shit.
I need a MOTM III.
Fuck Universal in the ass with a new pair of gators.
#1 on iTunes! #CUDDER^
WZRD is a good piece of art
WZRD is a good album but waiting til 2014 for MOTM III is a slap in his fans face! Especially since he cancelled the “A Man Named Scott” mixtape and claimed he would start MOTM III right away. Smh

i bought it from Best Buy, it’s pretty dope. But this really isn’t good news on two fronts, it’s shitty that this album is being underpromoted and while I like WZRD, I want another MoTM, this was a cool side project but I’d rather have Cudi rapping again.
promo stunt.
iTunes? like really. the promo was mediocre but the shipments was what it should be considering the label didn’t support it. Cudi knew that already, why black out now?
I feel for him, as a fan…but he kinda contradicts himself in his new Complex cover story
Hopefully he’ll cool off and get back to working on MOTM3. WZRD was great, but I really don’t want to wait 2 more years for him to be back on the moon…
Somebody punch this pos in the face. He acts like the label NEEDS him.
Good for him. still digesting the WZRD album. not sure how i feel about it yet
Thats why i say always go independent!!! When will we learn.. Thats why south niggas make so much money, fucc a record label!!!!!
Hot New West Coast!!! Music via @HotNewHipHop http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/Arrogant/profile/ … get your free downloads!!!!
so because of his label, he’s punishing his fans by not giving them another MOTM album til 2014? Rationale thinking, cudder…. SMH
the album is blowing up itunes lol
Funny how people are complaining that they want motm 3 yet wzrd is number one on itunes..obviously fans ride wit him..and if you don’t like wzrd go find rap music..niggas act like man on the moon 1 or 2 were so lyrically gifted albums smh
Wzrd isn’t any different then erase me,pursuit of happiness,ghost,all along!don’t see it any different. Just another cudder album
There isn’t a single song on WZRD that’s even close to as good as “Erase Me” or “Ghost!”, and neither of them were Cudi’s best. “Pursuit of Happiness” only serves to highlight exactly how depreciated Cudi has become as an artist. WZRD’s music can be much more easily compared to “Prom Queen” and some of the garbage on Rebirth, or maybe that universally despised new Metallica album.
@wow, Co-sign your comments! Thank You!
Diva Cudi
We have to be real with ourselves, this WZRD album sucks ass crap. And the single he’s calling a hit isn’t even close to being a hit compared to the hit singles out today. I completely understand his label trying to rush him on this weak ass project. Kid Cudi should give the fans a little of what they want, the days of music experimenting and shit are over.
2014??!! dam worlds gonna end this year tho
Aye it’s all good Cud, I copped that torrent game so I don’t need to be searchin out any CDs…
I’m a big fan of Cudi, but damn that WZRD album suck donkey balls.
I aint a cudi fan, and I know universal, if they only shipped 50k copies , the album had to be garbage
Fuck the label, all they care about Is making money and that’s wtf Is wrong with the music Industry today all they care Is about MONEY. Keep doing you’re thing Cudder and being you’re own man and artist don’t let the music Industry turn you Into there puppet to make them money. Keep using you’re talents and making music from your soul. Stay up Kid Cudi and god bless.
who cares about WZRD really? They undershipped that sh!t cuz they dont trust no Cudi rock album, i know i wouldnt. IF all of those 55k sell then i would release more copies until then fuck you and prove WZRD aint no bullshit he couldve gave away for free
its official i know why that album was undershipped…………………… IT FUKKKKKIN SUX!!! I heard it (for free) and it sux! i wouldnt buy it
just copped that digital copy….great sound… this dude is definitely a wizard

my best friend’s ex-wife got paid $13625 past week. she is making income on the laptop and got a $517100 condo. All she did was get fortunate and put into use the directions reported on this site makecash16.c0m
I skipped 3 songs on the WZRD album. Gotta say it’s a pretty solid effort and will grow on me w/ every listen. Universal did him dirty tho, I did not know that album was out either and Teleport isn’t on the radio @ ALL. I smell another Lupe-esk label beef for Cudi. #letsseewhathappensnext
somebody have a link?
Kid Cudi should’ve made the entire WZRD album with RATATAT and that would of been a legendary/classic experimental album.
Interesting!!
