Is cudi responsible for the merch prices though? I remember reading somewhere it not up to the artist
I mean possibly, but there are tons of independent artists who got excellent designed merch with quality shirts, hats, hoodies, sweats, etc and their prices can range from 25-75 bucks.
It's definitely possible for artists to not charge $200+ for some shirts lol
at the fact that this same exact thread has been made several times before and Lupe sees no sign of stopping so these threads will always pop up every few months
two 5’4 nerd ass losers fighting who gives a f*** about this s***e man
They’d link up to scrap and they’d think it was some anime moment and it’d result in some weird ass looking fight where they’re jumping up on walls like this
lupe would decapitate that nigga
Cudi came at Lupe for selling exclusive verses to his fans some years back on Twitter
Lupe claimed he was one of the few people who supported Cudi during his depression in MOTM2 era so he felt slighted
That’s lighter than I expected, but I do think Cudi is outta line policing how other rappers make money, especially since a personal verse, potentially from your fave, sounds really cool. So even though I woulda tried to move past it, I can see why Lupe’d be so upset.
Like, if the fans, the people actually being supposedly robbed, felt they were being robbed, they just wouldn’t buy it, and that would be that, lol
I used to think Lupe was just hating, but as time goes on, I'm starting to believe that less and less
$500 for a personal verse not even that crazy lol
It’s lowkey much lower than I would have expected in all honestly.
If I was at his level of popularity (not insane, but still well loved and established) I would be charging at least 1000

Yh even Cudi said it himself on a complex interview that Lupe was one of the only people looking out for him during that bad part of his life
Also Lupe and Cudi aren’t even in the same stratosphere
Lupe has multiple classics, has done a lot more for hip hop, and can actually rap. Cudi has always made mediocre music for outsiders. I’m shocked he wasn’t left behind in like 2013
I didn't know Cudi was 38 and he'll be turning 39 in like a month
Thought he was like 33 or something. That's crazy.
yeah the fact he’s pushing 40 and acts the way he does is just pathetic and embarrassing
Entergalactic > Drill Music in Zion
Factually incorrect
Cudi so mediocre musically, I get his brand appeal but sheesh. Lupe has skill atleast. That I respect.
Factually incorrect
Right ain’t nobody tryna hear Cudi attempt to retread the old formula and fail immensely.
That watered down garbage will never compare
Cudi only made good music with Ye, and it sucks cause Ye a nazi

I mean if I was down with you during your worst times & you come at me publicly like that I would feel some way too
Not even saying Cudi wrong for his opinion but that’s something that should’ve been a call or a text. Not for the world to see

If its like tour merch yeah but Cudi merch is a brand he founded on a website his team purchased
He might not price them initially but he okays it and could change it if he wanted to
