|VIDEO|: Kanye West Named CuDi/Roth "The Great Hangover Tour"

July 17, 2009 |  by  |  NEWS, Q&A  |  No Comments  |  Share  | 

So ‘Ye comes up with the concept of D.O.A. and the name for Cudi and Roth’s “The Great Hangover Tour,” expect more from Mr. West in ’09.

Cudi said that he and Kanye West were trying to think up a name, and after a tossing around a few ideas, West came up with the Great Hangover Tour.

“I was like, ‘OK, let’s run with it, because it’s Kanye,’ ” Cudi told MTV News. “He’s responsible for naming a lot of tours, and we needed the perfect name. We didn’t want to make it too obvious. We didn’t want to call it the Marijuana Tour, or the Stoner Tour, something wack like that.”

“The Hangover” was coincidently coming out at the same time, and they wanted the tour to play off the same theme. What’s not coincidental, however, is the fact that Cudi and Roth teamed up to tour at similar stages of their career. The two met during the photo shoot for XXL magazine’s Freshman 10 and kept in touch since. The timing was right for them to hit the road together.

|VIDEO|: 50 Cent Sets September 29th Album Release Date

Same day as The Clipse’s Til The Casket Drops project. Uh oh.

“I don’t have the ability to do that,” Fif answered about why he put the tapes out at a fever pace. “You have to set up records now, position them at radio. I get frustrated with that sh–. Sometimes I just want people to hear what I just did. I be like, ‘This sh– is hot, I want it out now. So I’mma just start giving it away.’ “

But for Before I Self Destruct, you’ll have to make a purchase.

“My album — it’s perfect, I feel,” he described. “I’m ready. I’m ready to put this album out. I really don’t need adjustments. I need a few songs to be finished, mixed. Dre, he drags his feet. He’s slow, but it’s because he’s so creative. He’s gonna make sure it’s perfect. I’m never mad at it. I understand that process from him. But for me, I kinda go on my gut. Ain’t nobody pick 50 Cent records. ‘Wanksta’ went on its own. They caught up to my records. The only record they launched was ‘In da Club.’ When we was all on deck and they launched it. Even going back to the last record — ‘I Get Money’ was going at a great pace, then ‘Ayo Technology’ fell on top of it. I had all of the records that sold the Curtis record laying there the whole time. I was just like, ‘I can’t put this out until after I’ve done this.’ My core, if they can’t expect aggressive content or that content that feels like what’s going on for them at the moment from me, then who can they get it from?”
