Kid Kudi, fo sho. Everyone I play Day N Night for is like - "who is this guy, can I get a copy?" Even people who dont listen to hip hop. Kudi has a type of vibe that can be a hit with a wide variety of people.

Kid Cudi seems like another trendsetter like Kanye and has a unique style, but I prefer B.o.B. Either Wale or B.o.B. should have won this, cause Wale murdered that "Nike Boots". B.o.B. is wit Grand Hustle so I'm down with him and I like that "I'll Be In The Sky" and his "Haterz Everywhere". B.o.B.'s gonna be big in '09, plus Grand Hustle has the streets on lock.
