NEW YORK — It isn't unusual to see lines of young people stretching down the block in downtown New York for various reasons. Those in line at the Billionaire Boys Club/ Ice Cream store Thursday evening were waiting to grab an exclusive hat and T-shirt and, oh yeah, to meet super-producer, N.E.R.D. frontman and fashion icon Pharrell Williams.

KID CUDI

Kid Cudi is a Brooklyn-based rapper from Cleveland whose debut single, "Day 'n' Nite,"became an online favorite in 2008. Born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi in suburban Cleveland,his career took o� after he moved to Brooklyn and became a�liated with Fool's Gold, the labelof DJs A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs. The label released the Day 'n' Nite EP in February 2008 and circulated a Crookers remix around the blogosphere, drumming up a good deal of buzz in the process. It didn't hurt that Kid Cudi began to receive increasing press attention, including a nod from Rolling Stone (which touted him among the magazine's Top Five best indie hip-hop artists of 2008). Not long after the release of "Day 'n' Nite," Kid Cudi began touring with the Fool's Gold collective, which performed at a South by Southwest showcase and subsequently joined forces with Steve Aoki and his Dim Mak collective for a North American tour. As the remixed version of "Day 'n' Nite" climbed the U.K. singles charts, Kid Cudi readied the release of his full-length album debut for summer.

When Kid Cudi performs with Wale and the go-go group UCB,the VMA house band, at Sunday's awards show, he will take some time out to remember 2008 house-band member DJ AM, who died unexpectedly last month.

"DJ AM was a good homie of mine, so we're going to do a little something for him," the VMA-nominated rapper told MTV News. "We doing this for AM. He had so much love.” For Cudi's time at the Video Music Awards, he plans to make sure his party is all about AM. "We're going to be celebrating his life,"he said. "You know what I mean? It's going to be a great night, and I don't know about everybody else, but I'm celebrating the VMAs in memory of Adam Goldstein.

"Wale spoke to MTV News after AM's death about picking up where Travis Barker and DJ AM left o� last year. "AM was one of the greatest DJs I've ever seen play," he said. "Him and Travis had such a chemistry.[AM was] de�nitely one of the greater ears in music, and he's de�nitely underrated [as a DJ]."Wale and UCB will also be joined by Solange Knowles, Pitbull and 3OH!3 for a series of originalsand covers that will de�nitely keep the VMA crowd rocking all night.If Wale's VMA rehearsal Thursday was any indication, those covers coul d include songsby Britney Spears, Coldplay and Kings of Leon.
