CW and I still don’t know what a king of leon is. I know Green Day was that kick ass band who used to sing about being too dumb to masturbate when I was 11. I loved them back then.
True Story: I was 10 years old or so and at my very first concert: Green Day. Billy Joel was on stage doing his thing and someone threw a quarter and pegged him right in the head. He announced that if anyone threw another quarter at him he would walk off the stage. We were about 15 minutes into the show. About 5 minutes later, he was doing his thing and, of course, you coul see a glitening quarter almost sail through the air from the mosh pit and just smoe him right in the dome again. Mid-Song, he drops the guitar, looks at his crew, and they all walk off. It equaled a 35 minute green day concert. I was pissed.
“Cudder is basically an album of me working with artists that have inspired me or artists that have helped me grow and people who I’ve always admired,” Cudi said. “So far, we’ve got Snoop, Travis Barker — trying to get Green Day onboard, hopefully, Kings of Leon, hopefully. I’m really trying to do all the collabs that I couldn’t do for the [Man on the Moon] album, and then some, because the album was so themed that I had to strip a lot of features. We’re going to have the Clipse on this compilation, Robin Thicke, hopefully we’re going to get in the studio, I just did a record for his upcoming album; it’s amazing.”
Cudi said he’s aiming to have Cudder out by “summertime at the latest,” and while the idea of him working with, say, Billie Joe Armstrong might seem a bit odd, he points to Moon tracks like “Pursuit of Happiness” (his collaboration with Ratatat and MGMT) as proof that he can pull it off and as a possible preview of how the song might turn out.“On the Ratatat song, you can hear Ratatat and you can hear me; we don’t compromise each other. That’s the same thing I want to do with anybody I work with. … I don’t want it to be, like, a Green Day song with me rapping over it,” he said. “What I want to do is, have the triangle effect. Have Green Day involved and have them co-produce with someone like a Ratatat or my producers, do like a joint thing, and then we all create from the ground up. That way, it’s like a fusion of each sound and each inspiration.”
