MTV just threw up a 30-second sneak peak of KiD CuDi’s upcoming video that premiere’s (probably before) Monday. Also, hit the jump to see how CuDi & Asher cam up with the title of their Great Hangover Tour (which will be in Vegas on July 23rd). Man On the Moon drops August 25th September 15th. A date CuDi isn’t pleased with as he won’t win a Grammy now (was he supposed to?) and he’s gotta battle Hov. Something Curtis won’t be doing.

Cudi said that he and Kanye West were trying to think up a name, and after a tossing around a few ideas, West came up with the Great Hangover Tour.
“I was like, ‘OK, let’s run with it, because it’s Kanye,’ ” Cudi told MTV News. “He’s responsible for naming a lot of tours, and we needed the perfect name. We didn’t want to make it too obvious. We didn’t want to call it the Marijuana Tour, or the Stoner Tour, something wack like that.”
“The Hangover” was coincidently coming out at the same time, and they wanted the tour to play off the same theme. What’s not coincidental, however, is the fact that Cudi and Roth teamed up to tour at similar stages of their career. The two met during the photo shoot for XXL magazine’s Freshman 10 and kept in touch since. The timing was right for them to hit the road together.
“Me and Asher were at a point in our careers where we’re definitely right there, and when you’re a new artist, and you have the opportunity to do your own tour, you definitely want to rock with somebody that you have a rapport with,” Cudi said. “He had his record out. I had my record out. We both had the same momentum, and it was like let’s bring them together and make a movement.”
Roth said that movement was the right word. “It’s the movement, and it’s really surrounded by good people and good music. When Cudi and I linked up, we were on that same tip of making sure that people understand that there’s definitely a paradigm shift coming on here. There’s a youth movement coming up.”

i really wish this song wasn’t on his album.
i thought that this was a joke song i didn’t think that there would be a video for it
It’s a good song, but I’m thinking it’ll be the worst on the album. Which is actually good.
video looks kinda good, i wonder if kanye purposely fucked up drakes “best i ever had” so cudi’s would look genius
co sign to all above
its on the album? proving my point ab cudi. its a cool song. i really like it. but its a freestyle. not an album cut…..cant wait to see more of the video tho
this shit looks extra fruity.
if kid cudi came out n said he was a homo and loves dick, I wouldnt be surprised at all.
“co sign to all above”
^^^^^^
hmm interested in seeing the rest of the video =)
Make Her Say is dope, so if that’s the low point, than Cudder is going to have a Great first album.
Bi-sher & Cudder on tour? Hmm, there will be lots of smoke coming from THAT tour bus. Hell, even maybe steamy windows with no women in sight, haha.
All Jokes, Somewhat.
Hov drops the 11th..on a friday..if cudi dropped his album on the 12th..that means he is droppin on a saturday?that september 12th date will get pushed back..doesn’t make sense
^^i meant the 15th.
all cudi haters shall burn in hell!
ALLAH AKBAH!!!!
cuddi droppin on august 25th
he had a shot at some best new artist shit or something.
People LOVE Make Her Say. It’s gonna be another hit for Cudi. There’s so much for the mainstream fan to be intrigued by. They hear the Poker Face sample, and it makes them wanna listen. They hear “that guy who did that one Day N Nite song”, and it makes them wanna listen. Then they hear Kanye and they’re in love with it. It’ll be a hit.
^Everything that I hate about Make Her Say summed up perfectly.. and those people are the reason Cudi’s album got pushed back too so fuck ‘em..
love the idea with the song, it was a fun song as i heard in an interview but it ended being a single. really creative by kanye to use gaga’s acoustic version. Video looks really dope to, can’t wait.
It’s supposed to be the fantasy part of his dream (his album concept is a dream). not a fan of this song and dont think it should be on the album but i can see why he has it on the album.
and i think ppl will be surprised with how his album sounds, it will be a VERY refreshing change.
the thing is. cudi isnt a rapper. he just makes good songs (every now and then)… this was one. Kanye cosign is helping him do big shit
i honestly didn’t think anyone would have a problem with this record. I always assumed it was an artist duty (and a skill) to make his music accessible to everyone. this song is great, and a great “business” move. ya’ll hip-hop heads are funny sometimes.
G.O.O.D. MUSIC
cosign cappa. hip-hop heads are funny so i parlay in all the fuckery and daily entertainment of it. comments on 2db is like a soap opera. haha
why does cudi always bend over and give kanye all the credit? lol
Yeah. This record is 2DOPE! Pun intended. “A Kid Named Cudi” was one of my favorite mixtapes that was in heavy rotation this year. I know that this album is going to be dope. I recall Cudi saying something about how Michael Jackson made music for EVERYONE to feel. It was black and WHITE people (and everything in-between) rocking with MJ. Cudi stated he wanted to do the same thing. This is definitely a record that you’d here Shaniqua and Becky bumping in their cars…lol.
The video looks pretty dope and eclectic. I can’t wait to see the full version. This trailer was executed very well. It made you want more immediately.
Anybody still talking about stuff sounding homo or making comments about Skinny Jeans and what not should KILL YOURSELF: The Album.
everyone gives way too much shit to cudi, guy’s one of the best out there right now. you people care to much about if his jeans are too tight rather than if he’s making good music. get off the guys back and let him make some music and money
when does thid video drop i want to see it
