Be creative He first began rapping towards the end of his high school career, inspired by alternative hip hop groups such as The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest. 2. Stop second guessing yourself Upon his arrival to New York City, he stayed with his uncle, Kalil Madi, and applied for a job at BAPE store. 3. You are a commander of your destiny While working there Cudi met future mentor Kanye West for the first time after forgetting to remove an anti-theft device from a jacket West had purchased. His uncle later kicked him out, leading to his writing "Day 'n' Nite". 4. There is always a way to be innovative In July 2008, Kid Cudi released his first mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, in collaboration with New York street-wear brand 10.Deep as a free download. 5. Find your inspiration The mixtape caught the attention of Kanye West, subsequently leading West to sign Cudi to his GOOD Music imprint later that year. 6. That's been done before. Whats the next s**t? His first television appearance was at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, alongside Travis Barker and DJ AM. 7. Use pressure to your advantage In June 2009, he made a cameo in The Black Eyed Peas' video for "I Gotta Feeling", alongside David Guetta, where the two met for the first time and subsequently recorded their international hit "Memories". 8. Have a strong work ethic In 2010, Kid Cudi also began starring in the HBO series How to Make It in America, as part of the main cast, being credited by his birth name Scott Mescudi, until its cancellation after two seasons. 9. Know who you are Cudi has also appeared in films such as Goodbye World, Need for Speed and Entourage. 10. Try to help people Cudi, who is also a singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer, is currently signed under Republic Records, as well as his own label imprint, Wicked Awesome Records, which he founded in 2011.
