\"kid_ars\"<\/a>Kid Cudi stopped by the “Arsenio Hall Show” Friday night (March 14), to talk about his new music and the current state of hip-hop.<\/p>\n

Holding nothing back, Cudi told Aresenio that the “braggadocio, ‘money, cash, hoes’ thing is dead,” and that particular form of hip-hop is holding the culture back. He went on to share his mission since day one. “All I wanted to do was help kids not feel alone, and stop kids from committing suicide,” he said. “I dealt with suicide for the past few years. There wasn’t a week or a day that went by where I was like, ‘I wanna check out.'”<\/p>\n

Lightening the mood, Cudi added that if he rapped about all of his possessions, “there would be no Drake.” Ouch! While Cudi’s jab seems to have been made in good fun, not sure Drake will see it that way.<\/p>\n
