Kid Cudi, who's brilliant sophomore album Man On the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Ranger got no love or promotional push from his label G.O.O.D. Music/Motown (take a number - Kelly Rowland is in the same boat with her contract on Universal/Motown), the eclectic MC has opted to take his music in a more independent direction. Check out his tweets below as he officially announced that he is parting ways with his label. he also stated that his personal and business relationship with Kanye West will remain the same.
“Pat and Emile are doing their own thing, i wish them well. I have a diff vision, for music, for the world. im just doing the right thing, i come from a different place. people lose sight of the mission. cant expect everyone to be built like me. when people have different visions, you gotta go your own way. Dream on is over, new label announcement soon. always f—-n with yeezy, for life. period. a true friend. GOOD music affiliate for life.
As far as my movement, i have to lead it. cant expect people to have the same morals as me … i am still with GOOD music, with that being said im just changin my side of things up a bit. so it will be ?/GOOD. Still distributed through Motown. the jams will be the same, but more real and true to me. the new label will be formed with @DotDaGenius. i have a new name [for the label], i just wanna lock it in contractually first. this is a day to rejoice, this isnt bad news. things are gonna be so epic, im like a kid on xmas eve im so excited bout this new chapter.”
Independent is definitely the way to go, since lazy executives aren't interested in nurturing real artists anymore. They're enjoying the perks of working their two mainstream artists like cattle, while more talented performers like Robyn, Jessie J, Kelly Rowland and Kid Cudi sit on the sidelines waiting for the MVP to pass the ball. Much luck on your new adventure Cudi. Still is and always will be a fan.
