Hi, I'm Scott | Scott Mescudi | TEDxSHHS

Musician Scott Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi, returns to his high school to talk about growing up and his career path in the music industry.
Born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi in Cleveland, Kid Cudi began rapping while attending Shaker Heights High School and later Solon High School. In 2004, Kid Cudi moved to Brooklyn, NY to pursue his rap career. He released his first mixtape, “A Kid Named Cudi,” in 2008. The mixtape earned Kanye West’s attention, leading him to sign Cudi to his GOOD Music imprint. As an up-and-coming artist, Cudi contributed hooks and lyrics to songs by West and Jay-Z, including “Heartless,” “Paranoid” and “Already Home.” These collaborations set the foundation for Kid Cudi’s successful solo career. He signed with Universal Motown in 2009 and released his first full-length album later that year. Cudi earned his first three Grammy Award nominations in 2010, two for his single “Day ‘n’ Nite” and one for the collaboration “Make Her Say.” In 2012, he won two Grammy Awards for “All of the Lights,” a collaboration with West, Rihanna and Fergie.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

[@nicklesmokeefe]

@Envapio Obviously there is a need to strategize if what you're doing isn't working, that's why the mindset of not succumbing to your failures is so important. We can't control for everything that may happen to us but I know the summation of cudi's talk was to not let others define you.

Man I once watched this and something stuck to me. He just seems like he is outside of music how he is in his music, himself and free. One of the few rapper 'interviews' (in this case talk), that got me. The way he speaks, acts, and even his smile show authenticity, his expressions when we says certain stuff that most people dont know, is what makes him authentic. One of those guys who deserves everything good that happens to him. Really appreciate him because of his music style, but because of this talk too. Having no problems in showing ur weaknesses is a quality.

smiling Gorilla "it's like" read twice or trice or four times? Btw, I like your user name. There are so many different types of people in the world. Some focus on their own (progress) more than others. My dad for instance, cares little about laws and plant his trees in public land. He also go very salty as soon as he speaks, without caring much about the other family member's mental status. He is very successful, however. But when people question his actions, he either ignores, or run you over, like a train.

Kid Cudi is one of the most influential artists of the 21st century

[@mariosmall526]

Amazanray Artists*

[@ShadowCloneJutsu97]

He definitely influenced the entire direction of hip hop no doubt

[@justincavinder5504]

He really is bigger than life, yet insanely humble. Everyone I know listened to his music in high school. (Graduated in 2011). And his video plays show it. 69million views, 30million views, etc. that’s crazy. His music had soul and just real. To point tons and tons of people from all walks of life could relate to him. I would say Jcole is like that in some of his music, but you can’t relate to some of his music as much if you white. But you can still appreciate it. And that’s cool. But it’s amazing how all kinds of people can relate to kid Cudis music and it still sounds great.

He's actually in a couple movies and shows like Brooklyn 99 for one episode

I’ve watched this video start to finish, each time with a different understanding. Before I knew his music I saw it, I saw it two times right after discovering him. Now I love his music especially Man on the Moon and watching it knowing what those songs mean helps give a new understanding.

[@tamilee9462]

Going to listen to ghost right now and I can't connect him with it.

[@myotheraccount17]

Loved this man since MOTM1. Still love him. Thank you for everything, Scott.

[@Pupcaller8]

Cudi needs to do a podcast so he can have more time. Loved what we got though

Check him on Joe Rogan's podcast.

You can see why Kanye signed Kudi you can see the similarities in there personalities

[@NeshiaBoo1991]

He was correcting his spelling lol

[@ThatModestCow]

Man's trynna have a discussion about the speaker and you guys are talking about his spelling. smh you know what he meant

[@13princessjade]

I think he's talking about old Kanye, but even new Kanye thinks like him yes he has some weird views but their thought process is the same

[@fr00bers]

justlivingasjade im not sure what you mean their thought process is the same, unless you ventured into their mind somehow. anyways, the creative process, personality, and even style of rap is completely different. kanye is aggressive and edgy when he first came on the scene. cudi is complete opposite, almost soul music

He didn't. He treated his daughter and her mother terribly and now he's got 0 custody and isn't even allowed to see them.
