Kid Cudi Arrest A Case Of Mistaken Identity What Else Is New?
More and more each day I see black men being targeted and when the police can’t find anything wrong it’s always the same old song a case of mistaken identity. Check out this excerpt from hiphopdx about what happened below.
In what appears to have been a case of mistaken identity, Ohio-rapper Kid Cudi and members of his entourage were momentarily arrested and held at gunpoint in Los Angeles.
Shortly following a photoshoot with NME Magazine at a Los Angeles store yesterday (December 21), the two SUV’s Kid Cudi and his entourage were traveling in were pulled over.
Cudi and crew were surrounded by a number of officers and police cars and ordered to get out of the SUV’s they were traveling in.
Upon realizing they had the wrong people police let the men go and revealed that they thought they were suspects wanted for a burglary that happened in the area.
“Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch,” Kid Cudi told NME. “I’m just happy to be back. I’m a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable.”
Cudi also explained to NME that he has no hard feelings towards the cops and that “…a lot of shit goes down [in Los Angeles]. And these cops have to use force. So it’s, like, I understand that they were doing their job. I just wish we weren’t in that place at that time.
On a side note: Talk about compliant? So that is what it is today huh brothers. Damn shame that this happens so much that you actually being to resolve in your mind that it is ok. It is ok for cops to point a gun at you and they don’t even know if your armed or if your even the suspect. If you ask me I smell bullshit and Cudi should have hired a lawyer immediately and filed suit against their asses. A case of mistaken identity my ass. The target was a black man rolling in nice SUV’s in an area where they are not used to seeing us. When will this bullshit stop?

Swazy Baby should be commended. While other up and coming artists are busy trying to bury their underground past, Swazy Baby continues to capitalize on his. And why not? It was using mixtapes as a way to build his buzz up intially, Swazy caught the eye of Bigga Rankin.
Clicking up with B-Rich and TJ Chapman, B.o.B was able to turn his underground success into a deal with Atlantic Records.After a slew of critically acclaimed mixtapes, cross-country tours and commercial placements B.o.B still has that spark in his eyes and energy in his voice that he did when I first saw him on stage.
The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
