Kid Cudi covers Complex magazine

Kid Cudi returns to the public eye with a new feature cover with Complex magazine. Inside, the coveted G.O.O.D. Music artist shared an interesting interview and went over some of what’s been happening lately with his music and management. Here’s a short excerpt from that piece:

So you’re managing yourself now?

I have been for a minute now. It’s fun!

You just have an assistant, a lawyer, an accountant, a publicist—

Yeah, and it’s easy ’cause I don’t live the life of a celebrity. My to-do list is limited to just two things: touring and studio. I record from home, so I don’t need to set up studio time. I book my own shows directly with my agent. I don’t do features with anyone, really. Other than Jay and Kanye, or if something cool comes along, like the Knux thing. And those are things that I’m really enthused about.

So not a lot of features in your future?

I’m not interested in being someone’s look. And that’s what it is nowadays—a look. It’s hard for me to charge people, because I do my stuff for free. I do all my stuff with Jay and Kanye on the house, because it’s a brotherhood. Besides them, I can’t really hit nobody with a fee, because then that’s a dispute. What I want to charge, motherfuckers might not have a budget for!

On top of that, it’s a commitment when you do a song with somebody. Like, “We need a single, we need the video.” And then—like I said in the last interview, being that I don’t fuck with most people musically—it’s tough for me to want to bend and be a part of people’s projects.
