Gestern lief die 2. Staffel einer unserer Lieblingssendungen How To Make It In America an. Das hat mehrere Gründe: die Storyline, der Struggle in NYC, die Titelsongs (‘I Need A Dollar’ & ‘I Stand Alone‘) und die geilen Charaktere. Allen voran ist das Rene Calderon (Luis Guzman) und sein Rasta Monsta Energy Drink! (LOOOOOOL – alleine, wenn ich jetzt wieder dran denke, krieg ich mich kaum ein!)
Anywayz, er hat jetzt nicht nur sogar seinen eigenen Barbra Streisand Song bekommen, sondern auch noch sein eigenes Video dazu!! BALLLLIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!
Ich werde mir jetzt zum Ausklingen des ausnahmsweise auch so schon entspannten Wochenendes die 1. Folge geben! Wer ist dabei??
Bin auch gespannt, was sie so in Tokio vor diesem Tempel treiben, den Chris & ich vor zwei Jahren auch schon besucht hatten.
For real, this is the only TV series I cared about in the last years. @chrishimself84 and me were always waiting for the link to the new episodes to drop on Tuesdays, because How To Make It In America was obviously not airing on German TV. Even if it would, you don’t wanna see it translated to German. No!
OK, maybe I’ll continue with some more Berlin-realted posts for a minute. But for a special reason.
About a month ago, hypebeast.tv posted this very nice video about the new creative space in Berlin: MADE. I already mentioned it in my last Berlin post, when I talked about meeting Phil-G., who is one of the people responsible for this unique project. The others are Nico Zeh, Tadi Rock & Luise Biesalski.
But more specifically this video also gives us an impression of their second event called ‘Typographic Ballet’ that featured Ebon Heath & rapper Talib Kweli both from Brooklyn.
If you did pay attention to the music in the background, great! And if you did not, you should just check again, because I could listen to it ALLLLLLLLL day. It is beautifully done by Frankfurt located producer Crada (@the_real_crada), who also was part of this event and who did some tracks for internationally known artists The LOX, KiD CuDi, Drake & Nneka featuring NaS. His latest production is for L.A. rapper Jay Rock. Here’s the video for the song, that is also part of Jay Rock’s upcoming mixtape ‘Black Friday’. You can listen to the other tracks on his SoundCloud profile.
I’m hoping to listen to a lot more good stuff from this kid. Keep it up!
I’m glad to have my KiD CuDi fan package now complete with the arrival of the Deluxe Ed. of his debut album (I reported earlier about this issue).
As you can see on the pic, my package now includes both versions of his album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day (Deluxe Ed. from hhv.de, normal version from Amazon.de, both including also the poster and “Hyyer”, the track produced by Frankfurt & Mannheim hip-hop producer Crada), the Kid Cudi Moon Face Concert Tee by Karmaloop and his Complex cover issue, thanks to the lovely Maren, who grabbed it in New York for me. Thanks again.
And always remeber: Go to DatNewCudi.com for fresh KiD CuDi news and use code CD31270 for 20%off on Karmaloop.com.
Crada is a Frankfurt am Main / Mannheim based Hip Hop producer and songwriter who got his name out by working with german and international rap artists. Just recently we made a blogpost about Kid Cudi’s first album drop called Man on the Moon : The End Of Day.
After having a big hit in the states with D-Block’s “Get That Paper” which was already in Top25 heavy rotation on none other than Hot97 radio, he produced the Kid Cudi track “Hyyerr ft. Chip Tha Ripper“ which is now on the Kid Cudi album.
As Frankfurt based bloggers we are especially proud to give that exposure to people from our area.
Make sure to check out his myspace page (myspace.com/crada) for more information and to listen to some of the tracks produced by him.
Thanks alot to DJ Kitsune aswell for the heads up!
Today is really a special day with three great milestones, so I will have a post trilogy, just as the two albums, that were released on this day in Germany, are also part of a trilogy.
For KiD CuDi‘s debut album we get the preferential treatment compared to the US, where his album ‘Man on the Moon: The End of Day’ is due to release on September 15. I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition on Amazon.de and look what I got in the mail this morning.
As you can see, the poster is inside. And the CD contains the Crookers Remix of Day ‘n’ Nite (by the way, a few days ago I found out about the second video for that version). So far, so good.
What was missing was the DVD, that should be in the Deluxe Edition. I checked back on the Amazon site and the page didn’t exist anymore. I wanted to call them, but then came an e-mail basically saying, that the manufacturer told them, that there won’t by any Deluxe Edition, which is shocking news to me (and maybe to you, too?). At least, I will get the remainig amount or I can send the CD back. It looks like the Deluxe Edition is available on hhv.de on September 18, so I’ll try that and hopefully get it eventually. There is even a trailer out there for the footage of the DVD, so c’mon, there has to be a Deluxe Edition. Right?? Right??
For those of you looking just for the CD, you can now get it there, too, including a limited KiD CuDi shirt. Although I must say, that there are KiD CuDi shirts out there, that rank higher in dopeness.
If you still didn’t decide to buy the album, you can have a listen here with the Album Sample by DatNewCudi.com (by the way, if you are looking for CuDi information, that’s the site right there!).
Also, ‘Blueprint 3′ dropped today in Germany, as it was originally planned in the US, too. Jay-Z will give a beneficial concert at MSG this evening, on exactly the same day ‘The Blueprint’ came out eight years ago (Yes, Sep 11, 2001). I think that is also a great advertising you can see below.
I like both albums, but I really love KiD CuDi’s album. In my opinion THE album right now! I listen to it all day. What’s your favorite?
Check out the new video from the upcoming Album by KiD CuDi called “Man on the Moon : The End of Day” go buy it on the 25th of August this year apparently the album has been pushed back to the 15th of September this year, well it should be worth the wait.
Again a music post, but after hearing that song of one of my favorite artits right now for the first in the club last week, I thought I should give it some props, too. Already labeled the – excuse my German – Überhit right now, the videos to KiD CuDi‘s Day ‘N’ Nite are nothing short of any expectations.
This video for the Crookers version was the first one to appear on the scene. CuDi is working at a 24 hours super market and funny things happen.
Then this video featuring the original version of the song popped up. Also some strange things occur.
CuDi seems to really enjoy his own work, plus his personality and all these ill beats make him an artist to follow in the near future, as he is also signed to Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. Music.
This is the new Welcome to Heartbreak video by Kanye West feat. Kid Cudi.
The director uses some new techniques for this video which makes you think something is not right with your monitor at first, it looks “pixelized and fragmentized”, I havent seen these effects put into a video on purpose yet very experimental but still good.
