Kid Cudi will always have a fond place in my heart for making “Man On The Moon,” the only album my freshman year friends and I would listen to while smoking weed aside from Wiz Khalifa’s “Rolling Papers.” Both were so wonderfully mellow that you’d feel yourself sinking into a couch and just be content to be amongst friends, bullshitting and doing whatever.
…or maybe that was the weed; either or.
But Kid Cudi took a moment to shed that lackadaisical stoner image and go on the offensive yesterday, throwing shade at Drake and Kanye West for “having 30 people write songs for them.” It’s not clear what prompted Cudi’s rant, though I have to admit it’s got me stoked for a new album:

Yeezy and Drake have yet to respond, but knowing Kanye for being Kanye, it’s only a matter of time.
UPDATE: Kanye West responded, and of course he did it in the most Kanye way imaginable.
