MAN ON THE MOON
Rapper Kid CuDi has found himself trapped on the downward slope of the rollercoaster that is his musical career, and it hasn’t even been six months since he dropped his highly anticipated first album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. In his most recent bout of misfortunes, the Cleveland emcee, his entourage, and several members of Britain’s NME magazine were held at gunpoint by the LAPD in transit after a photo shoot. The group was pulled over on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles where police officers surrounded the convoy with guns at the ready demanding their targets to, “keep your hands visible!” The entire group was then ordered to exit the vehicles and kneel on the ground where they were then put in handcuffs. However, after several moments of tense inquiry, every member of the group was released as the police realized they had detained the wrong party.
After the cancellation of the highly anticipated North American “Fame Kills” tour with Kanye West, Lady Gaga has announced that she will, in fact, be touring in the upcoming months. Filling the void that was once taken up by the swollen headed Kanye West will be Kid Cudi, a protégé of Kanye and the “it” guy of the hip-hop world. The duo will be performing the elaborately choreographed shows under the all encompassing tour moniker “The Monster Ball.”
Kid Cudi is riding the wave of his newly released and critically acclaimed album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Lady Gaga will be re-releasing her much successful The Fame album under the new title, The Fame Monster, which plays into the upcoming tour title. While there won’t be the pseudo “on stage fight” that was planned for the Kanye/Gaga expedition, both artists are expected to outperform their contemporaries in what has been billed as the first “electro pop opera.”
