The Cool Kids are back with a swaggerific, speaker-busting, self-produced track off of their new EP, The Bake Sale (available today). DJBooth readers were first introduced to the Midwest’s Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish with their release of Black Mags, and the reception was enthusiastic to say the least. For those who felt the duo should get in work with the Neptunes, the Chicagoans’ screwed vocals, boom-pat kicks, and mixture of spoken and keyboard breaks on What Up Man showcases how The Cool Kids’ sound is so not N.E.R.D.-like. On the track, the kids explain how hard it is to maintain their cool on the daily, especially when the groceries are running low—but these guys make TV dinners, ice cream trucks and standing in the grocery store line look hip.
HOT! Simply put- The Cool Kids rap over some of the hottest beats out there today. Hot and Unique, these guys are fire. I am feeling every song that they put out, and I'm really hoping these dudes blow up. This song is a banger for sure for the unique beat!
Yo just wondering, why is nathan's reviews MIA? I been lookin forward to the Bun B review, didn't even realize these guys were droppin one too.
I'll listen to this in the morning, rate later. i expect fire i like everything else ive heard from them
they do get the hottest beats. The Cool Kids... is makin a fan out of me. This is pretty hott. Thats TWO Songs of theirs im feelin. i cant wait for the next ones.
this is the first song ive heard from then.damn damn damn. i like how the whole beat is people sayin boom clap bass and tic.the cowbell killed it too. gotta say im feelin these dudes.glad this was the first song i heard from them because that left a good ass first impression.
fool da cool kids is the shit, i'm a fan already i heard alot of there songs already all of them are good, they got a song wit lil wayne called "Gettin It" that is so fire check it out......
This is one of those "dammit, I need some new f**kin speakers now" type-of-songs. Cool Kids in Chicago on Wednesday night... who's there? You know Z is there...
These guys get WAY too much love..they are an alright duo, but how long is the wave going to last? I think there's will fade away before it even catches on. Comparable to Little Brother, they get more recognition but LB is way nicer! Black Mags wasn't very good, this isn't very good..the only song I actually like and listen to regularly is Mikey Rocks. Oh well, continue to enjoy.
The Cool Kids...Coming hard and doing some great things. Beat is on point with the lyrics. The whole background voices just add to the song. Straight Banger
