Sure, I’ve already posted the music video to Shakira’s “Did It Again” when it first came out. But here’s a new version featuring Kid Cudi in the remix. And look at it this way: this just gives you a reason to watch Shakira shake her hips and jump around on a bed again. Win-win.
She Wolf is in stores now.

Rapper Kid Cudi has received three Grammy nods: Best Rap Solo Performance for Day ‘n’ Nite; Best Rap Song for Day ‘n’ Nite; and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for Make Her Say (Featuring Common and Kanye West). His freshman album Man on the Moon: The End of Day deserves album of the year, but that’s just me (and probably a whole lot of other people, but whatever). Be sure to check out the 2010 Grammy Awards on January 31 at 8PM on CBS.
Kid Cudi recently sat down with MTV News and shared some information about his forthcoming sophomore album called Cudder:
Cudder, I already got five tracks locked in. We got Snoop, we got Pharrell. I just was in the studio with him. We got Jim Jonsin. I did a record with him. I’m gonna get back in the studio with him. Trying to get the right amount of hit records on this. It’s gonna be the complete opposite of what Man on the Moon was. Man on the Moon was so serious. This one is gonna be more playful and fun. It’s about having a good time.”
People reaching out to me wanting to collab is so bugged out. I remember when nobody wanted to do any song with me, let alone listen to my sh–. It’s been humbling since Kanye reached out. People seek my creativity; that’s dope. I don’t do the normal sh–. I don’t make the normal songs. So when people reach out, that means they’re on the same frequency.”
Definitely looking forward to Cudder. For now, though, Cudi wishes us happy holidays with a freshly cooked freestyle called “cudderisback.” Stream it below and download it here.

“Did It Again” is the next single off Shakira’s forthcoming album. If you enjoyed Shakira’s routine in “She Wolf” wait until you see how she moves in bed. The album She Wolf releases November 27.
In much related news, newly-famed rapper Kid Cudi will be featured on the remix to “Did It Again.” Go ahead and look forward to that. Also, keep in mind that this track plus five others are produced by Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes. Another track is produced by Wyclef Jean.

Soon after the release of his first studio album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, rapper Kid Cudi is already talking about his next album called Cudder. Cudi labels the next album a collaboration CD that will feature artists that inspire him. In his own words…
“Cudder is basically an album of me working with artists that have inspired me or artists that have helped me grow and people who I’ve always admired. So far, we’ve got Snoop, Travis Barker — trying to get Green Day onboard, hopefully, Kings of Leon, hopefully. I’m really trying to do all the collabs that I couldn’t do for the [Man on the Moon] album, and then some, because the album was so themed that I had to strip a lot of features. We’re going to have the Clipse on this compilation, Robin Thicke, hopefully we’re going to get in the studio, I just did a record for his upcoming album; it’s amazing.”
Expect to listen to what is sure to be another hit from newcomer Kid Cudi this summer “at the latest.”

If nothing has enticed you yet to pick up Cudi’s freshman album tomorrow, this will. Kid Cudi recently performed “Pursuit of Happiness,” the third single off his new album, live on Letterman. Those of you who are sick of his most popular single Day ‘N Nite please watch this and understand the scope of Cudi’s fresh and energetic talent. The way he commands the stage reveals a less edgy and more smooth vision of hip hop (or rap). And for you rockers out there, there is a sweet guitar solo by featured guest Ratatat. It’s really a great song, and I am sure such new and inventive musical raw talent will be plentiful on the album. Man on the Moon: The End of Day–get yours.
