Kid Cudi Unleashes Mr. Rager On His Label In The Form Of A Twitter Rant Posted by Danielle Harling on 01/09/13 | Filed under Opinion, Kid Cudi, Twitter

When artists take to Twitter to vent it usually warrants an eye roll or two, but Kid Cudi made some pretty valid points yesterday as he went in on his label (Universal) during a mild Twitter rant. With millions of views on YouTube and a solid fan base, you can certainly see where Cudi's frustration comes from. Cudi is just one of several artists who have turned to Twitter to express their label woes, but you can't help but wonder how effective their Twitter vents actually are.

Here's a portion of the Tweets Cudi aimed at his label yesterday:

King Wizard 3.4 million views on Vevo, Just What I Am has 4.3 million and my shit is not on regular rotation on radio. Hmmm.

Nathan Update: I'm divided on this. On one hand I like that he's venting. He cares about his music and someone (the label) is fucking it up. Why should he have to bite his tongue. On the other hand, it just feels like some pointless complaining. Quit crying about Trinidad James, and it's not like there's anyone at Universal who's now like, "Man, those tweets really hurt my feelings. Let's triple Cudi's radio budget" Ultimately, it mostly feels like whining.
