Kid Cudi is not pleased with the current state of hip-hop. Twitter and Instagram seem to be the go-to social media outlets for artists when they desperately need to speak their mind to a wide spread audience, which is why Kid Cudi took toTwitter to voice his opinion about the lack of originality in hip-hop/rap music today.

When it comes to Cudder’s music, he tends to be very passionate often times showing his vulnerable side through his lyrics and to his fans. Cudi, who recently landed an acting role alongside Method Man in the new CBS drama Scorpion, went on a Twitter rant about the current state of hip-hop music and explained why he’s not impressed by the mediocrity that’s being broadcasted through our airwaves.

Anyone and everyone can rap now. Its not an impressive field to be in anymore.

Of course there are guys that are impressive and found success making rap their own, but how many of those types of artist exist? Not many.

So on the rare occasion I stumble across some new shit thats powerful and has meaning, I become impressed w that artist.

Because they could dumb down their music, surely connect to a larger audience and make a shit ton of money, but thats not impressive
