Here we go again… yet another album release date has been pushed back.  This time, it’s Kanye West who has officially moved the release of his album.  The initial date it was scheduled to hit shelves was September 14th, however now it won’t be in stores until October 12th.  The album is currently without a title as he recently dropped the name Good Ass Job.  Following the news of Kid Cudi pushing his release back too, you have to wonder what exactly is going on over there in the G.O.O.D. Music offices.

Kid Cudi’s Album Pushed Back… Again

It was exactly a week ago that we told you Kid Cudi‘s album release was getting pushed back to September 28th (it was originally supposed to come out September 14th).  Well now comes word that it is again being delayed.  The latest release date is now October 26th.  So what’s the reason this time?  We doubt we’ll ever really find out, but the label is at least claiming its due to other big hip hop albums coming out that day from T.I. and Young Jeezy.  That may be true, however didn’t the label take a look at the other releases when it initially locked in the date of 9/28 last week?  Something seems fishy here.  Lets just hope it’s not a quality issue.

You remember the story on Kid Cudi punching a fan at a show a few months back, right?  Well turns out, things got heated between him and a fan once again as he was performing yesterday (7/22) in Ohio.  Have a look above and check out the mayhem that ensued.

In all honesty though, what was this kid doing up on stage?  We can’t say we blame Cudi for being pissed.  But he DOES need to learn how to control his temper.  

The rapper did end up jumping back on stage to finish the show.

Kid Cudi Album Pushed Back

Here we go again.  It was just 2 days ago when we told you about some of the artists who have recently pushed back their albums for a variety of reason.  Well now we can add another name to that list… Kid Cudi.  The rapper’s sophomore album Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Ranger was supposed to come out on September 14th.  It’s now being reported however that it’s been given a new date of September 28th.

Before we throw any skepticism out there, we do have to mention that Cudi’s mentor/label boss, Kanye West is already releasing an album on September 14th, so that could be a justified reason to push it back a couple of weeks.  But it’s not like those plans just came together today.  Something caused them to make the last minute adjustment.  Give us your thoughts on what that something might be.

And if you haven’t heard Cudi’s debut single from the album yet, have a listen below as Kanye makes a guest appearance.  The track’s called “Erase Me” and was produced by Jim Jonsin.

Kid Cudi Arrested

Tags: Hip Hop, Kid Cudi, Legal

Over the weekend, Kid Cudi got arrested in New York City.  According to TMZ, he took a 24 year old woman’s cell phone and smashed it to pieces.  He then tore her apartment door off it’s hinges.  Once police arrived, they apparently found a glass bottle of “a controlled substance.”  Hmmm, wonder what THAT could be.

If it comes as a bit of a surprise that Cudi’s got a bit of a violent side, think back to when he punched a fan at a recent show in Vancouver.  He, we know he smoothed things over with the guy, but still.  Let’s hope someone shakes the DMX out of him so he can concentrate on his career.

UPDATE: Turns out the “controlled substance” was liquid cocaine according to this report!!  Damn, dude.

Last year during a performance in Vancouver, Kid Cudi punched a fan who he suspected of throwing a wallet on stage.  Stupid, right?  Well he has since apologized to the fan whose name is Michale Sharpe.  And to let it be known he was truly sorry, Cudi flew the fan out to Washington last week so he could hang out during the rapper’s performance at the Sasquatch Music Festival.  Fast forward to the 3:29 mark to see Michael come out on stage during “Pursuit of Happiness.”
