He had the letters F.A.M.E. tatted on his arm this past July.

 

 

Seeing that there was no build up or info available about this vid and it dropped out of the blue, somebody's gonna get fired for leaking this ish. Anyway, here's Rihanna's brand new leaked video for "Who's That Chick". The track is produced by David Guetta.

BOOK FAB: ?uestLove & Fabolous To Release Books? + Kid Cudi Takes Shots At Wale & Discusses Cocaine Addiction

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 11:25 AM PDT

The Roots drummer ?uestLove is planning on releasing a book and Fabolous is considering penning a book about Twitter. All this plus Kid Cudi takes shots at Wale when you read on...

<!--break-->

 

Kid Cudi is on the cover of the October/November edition of Complex Magazine. The Cleveland rapper gave his thoughts on his addiction to cocaine and made some negative comments towards rapper Wale.

 

Complex: How heavy did the drug use get?

Kid Cudi:

I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.

Did you ever feel like you had a problem?

Kid Cudi:

 I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times. It took a lot for me to talk about shit like this on the album. I don’t feel like I need to explain myself to anyone besides the fans. My fans don’t believe shit until they hear me say it. And those are true Kid Cudi fans. I want them to know the story.

…Speaking of Wale, when you hit that fan at your show last December, he came out with a line about it ["Throwin' 'round wallets like the dude that Kid Cudi hit," from "Thank You Freestyle"].

Kid Cudi:

It wasn’t a shot, it’s just a simple-ass rhyme by a simple-ass rapper. You can’t let that shit faze you. That’s one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.

Are your peers not seeing that?

Kid Cudi: 

The last album, I let people dis me, throw out those jabs in their verses and have their little slick remarks. This time around, I’m not fucking around. I have no time to think about other niggas. These other motherfuckers like feeding off another nigga’s energy, so they mention their name. You hear me talk about niggas? I don’t even talk about Kanye, and that’s my homeboy! They talk about Kanye like they’re bosom buddies with this nigga. Talking about “I be in Hawaii”—man, shut the fuck up, why you got to tell everybody everything? Then people like Wale get mad that ‘Ye ain’t give him no beats—’Ye ain’t give you no beats because we ain’t fucking with your raps. It’s not a conspiracy theory. We don’t fuck with you musically, so we’re not going to provide music for you. The shit is a service, it’s a quality of a certain standard. Niggas are just so thirsty it’s ridiculous. I’ve been eating humble pie forever, and people still call me an asshole. These people don’t know my fucking life—now I’m going to give them something to talk about.

 

Tell em' why you mad Kid Cudi....

 

?uestLove is most known for being the drummer of The Roots. Now, he plans on writing a book. 'Mommy, What A Questlove?' will contain stories from ?uest, celebrity encounters, and his thoughts on life. ?uest says that the book will be written in his unique 'stream of consciousness' style.

No word on the release date yet but this is sure to be one interesting book.

 

Fabolous is also considering writing a book.The people over at Twitter have approached the rapper about writing a 'coffee table' book about his numerous trending topics. Fab says he likes the idea but is still unsure if he will write the book. The Brooklyn rapper has a large following on Twitter but do you think he could sell a book about his trending topics?
