I'm so white. And gay.
So it will sound pretty ludicrous when I tell you about the dope beats and mad flow this Chicago duo gots. But from their name alone, you know The Cool Kids are that new hip hop act all us discerning listeners have been dreaming about: one you can love without a hint of irony or guilty pleasure.
Proving you can make hip hop that's intelligent yet still inviting, self-aware but not a 'joke' band, and ballsy without the machismo, The Bake Sale is a debut full of inventive, classic beats, and smart, funny rhymes. And with no trendy experimental cringe factor, this shit won't date, yo.
Is it a testament to The Cool Kids' genius that all us gay white rock critics are wetting our pants over this album? Or a sign of the sorry-ass state of hip hop today?
Whatever dude. Let your chain hang low.
