Kid Cudi Says That He's 'Slept On' As A Rapper

by Daryl Nelson

Kid Cudi is beloved by millions, but one could say that he's loved for his music overall, not his rapping skills.

It's a topic that the Ohio native spoke about during an interview with Apple Music. Cudi is now promoting his new album Man on the Moon III: The Chosenwhich drops on Friday, Dec. 11.

"I felt like in Hip Hop, I’m slept on as a rapper, as a lyricist,” said Cudi. “I really wanted to elevate my whole sh*t on that front on this project. And I did that with the rapping and the singing. Everything is kind of evolved. And the added little sprinkle of ad-libs. Something I’ve never really done before. I was able to do it in my own little way, so it remains authentic and just doesn’t sound like I’m doing ad-libs like everybody else.”
