This might be the worst post in a thread filled with some pretty bad posts. You have 0 clue what you are talking about.
Rolling Loud is a massive 3 day festival that people from all over the country fly in for, because it has hundreds of artists performing (even ones you dont see on the flyer).
Not many were going to cancel their flight, hotel, vacation, etc cause Ye pulled out. Even though it was a great booking. Theyre also there to see lil durk, kendrick lamar, lil baby, etc.
Kid Cudi was a bad booking from the start for a dozen of reasons but mainly because 1) he makes songs for 30+ year old silicon valley hipsters. Hes what we can consider “tech or corporate rap”, no different then say a G Eazy or Post Malone. Who all 3 would of been bad replacements. Rolling Loud is more like Astroworld demograph than Coachella. Does that make sense? Its 75+% teenagers or young adults. They dont care about “legacy” acts unless its someone like 3 6 mafia with a cult following and their songs get you hype. Is this starting to make sense for you? Bone Thugs is my favorite group of all time and bigger than 3 6, but 3 6 is a better Rolling Loud booking. You getting it now?
2) as much as kid cudi is praised here, hes not a legend. His sales are highly exaggerated. An upper mid card on a festival at best. Hes been lapped multiple times in his very own lane and hes had more albums flop than have done decent. The headliner of the biggest current festival should have near recent big sales and huge hits. Kid cudi has neither. Last album didnt even go gold and had no notable big hits.
This is both rolling loud and kid cudi fault for even thinking this would work. Dont stress too much, Rolling Loud will probably issue some apology, and Kid Cudi will still get booked to perform at Facebook or Microsoft christmas parties.
