Kid Cudi to Arsenio About Hip Hop: It’s Holding us Back as a Culture … As Black People

*On Friday night Kid Cudi stopped by “The Arsenio Hall Show,” where he candidly discussed his struggles with depression and using music to help others, including himself, fight suicide.
It was an incredibly poignant discussion from Kid Cudi who’s rarely spoken about this topic in front of his fans. He also shares his feelings on the current state of Hip Hop, saying certain aspects of it are “holding us back as a culture.”
“I think the braggadocio, money, cash hoes thing needs to be deaded,” Kid Cudi told Arsenio. “I feel like it’s holding us back as a culture. As black people. And doesn’t advance us in any.”
Wow, interesting. Check out the vid below and find out what else the rapper/actor has to say on the subject. He also speaks on his struggles with depression and suicide.
