Kid Cudi Interview with Canada’s Nardwuar

Lol – this dude Nardwuar is a clown on the surface, but even though I hadn’t heard of him, cause I obvs dunno Canadian pop-culture staples (if there is such a thing), but you can tell this dude knows what he was talking about.

As far as the ending when Cudi rudely bounces out on the interview, I am hoping that was part of the shtick, ’cause otherwise it just adds to the Cudder A-HOLE student of Kanye’s douchery mystique. And that’s never a good look.

More on Nardwuar via Wikipedia:

Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Ruskin, July 5, 1968) is a Canadian celebrity interviewer and musician from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] He is the lead singer and keyboardist for The Evaporators and plays in Thee Goblins. He is an indie-rock expert. [2]

He legally changed his name in 1986, and argues that “no one refers to Iggy Pop as ‘James Osterberg’”. When asked to explain his name, Nardwuar once quipped “Nardwuar equals dumb silly name, like Sting; Human means human, as in Human Fly; and Serviette is something you can’t get in the U.S. because down there they’re called napkins.”

In 2005, he contributed to the UNICEF benefit song, “Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?” He has an honors bachelor’s degree in history from the University of British Columbia and wrote his honors thesis on the Kennedy assassination. In July 1999, Nardwuar suffered a cerebral hemorrhage (aborting his planned ambush interview of Courtney Love), but recovered after surgery.

What a shocker that this guy had a cerebral hemorrhage, …cause he’s a nut.
