As he prepares to release his first mixtape under the G-Unit banner this summer titled Street Fame, Kidd Kidd is climbing up the ladder of success one killer verse at a time.
The Rida Gang leader recently sat down with HipHopDX to speak on the subject of being left off of the final version of 50 Cent's "We Up" single.
"[The] first thing I want to tell to people is that it wasn’t a 50 Cent decision," Kidd Kidd said. "A lot of people come and they be like, ‘Yo, 50 [Cent] took you off the song,’ it wasn’t no 50 Cent decision. That’s what it is, it’s all politics you know what I’m sayin', the game is politics. It’s just a blessing to even be brought up in that same conversation because the song is a great song, it was a blessing to even just be a part of that. It is what it is, you keep moving forward. It’s not like that’s the only good song in the world.”
The New Orleans emcee next addressed the recent death of his good friend Tyson G. Strip.
“It’s so deep. He was fam with my moms you know what I’m sayin', when that situation happened to me, when I was shot up [it happened] in front of my mom, in front of her house. And he got killed right down the corner from my mom’s house so...I got the call as soon as it happened, you know, because my mom was right there," Kidd explained. “Damn, New Orleans really has this hold over you, it really does and you never realize it [until] it’s too late, you feel me? Like, for real, most people that realize it are either in jail now or they didn’t make it out of a life or death situation. Like me myself, it took for me to get shot up to really realize I’m f*ckin’ trippin’. I got a whole future here, like I don’t have to be out there like that, you know what I’m sayin’? As for [Tyson G-Strip]...he just got caught up in that life. You know man, prayers [and] condolences and everything goes out to his sister, ‘cause he didn’t have much family, we was his family. Like I said, he was livin’ with my moms [and] livin’ with his girl, shout out to his son.”
