  • After over a decade, Kid Cudi & NIGO® have inspired many of the biggest names in music, fashion, and pop culture. But how did they do it, and what’s next? The two cultural icons get together for the first time for Complex's September 2019 cover and open up about their beginnings, Nigo's Human Made brand, Cudi's upcoming 'Entergalactic' album and a possible 'Kids See Ghosts' 2 album, and more.

      Daniel Willis I don’t know the exact percent but a large percentage of Cudi’s lyrics are about dealing with issues detrimental to ones mental health; depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, contemplating suicide but instead of just saying things like “I wanna kill my self” he goes in depth with his lyrics and a lot of people can relate to him and I know for me at least help them not feel so alone. I can say I really don’t think I’d be alive right now if it wasn’t for Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. Cudi uses his pain as medicine for others

    Long before we know ourselves, our paths are already set in stone
    Some may never figure out their purpose in life and some will
    There are a lot of us who are caught up in this hell we all live in
    Content with being blinded by rules and judgment
    We live in a world where it's more okay to follow than to lead
    In this world being a leader is trouble for the system we are all accustomed to
    Being a leader in this day and age is being a threat
    Not many people stood up against the system we all call life
    But toward the end of our first ten years into the millennium we heard a voice
    A voice who was speaking to us from the underground for some time
    A voice who spoke of vulnerabilities and other human emotions and issues never before heard so vividly and honest
    This is the story of a young man who not only believed in himself, but his dreams too
    This is the story of the Man On The Moon

    I can’t even BEGIN to explain my love and thankfulness for Cudi. Adults ask me what kind of music I listen to expecting me to say Ariana Grande or Billie Eilish and like I do still listen to them but here’s the thing; they’re always shocked when I say I listen to Kid Cudi. They always say “Wow how do you know who that is? He was poppin when I was in like high school!” It’s not a shocker to my mom of course, I mean she was the reason why I’m like the biggest Cudder ever hahahah but still seeing and knowing that Scott is in a good place and he’s doing better us a relief :)

    Streetwear culture is Black culture. The Mainstream culture now appreciates it but it was frowned upon in the 80’s when it was just African Americans rocking it.
