ONE OF TWO COPIES OF 'THE BAKE SALE'. JUST EMAIL WIN@TWOTHOUSAND.COM.AU WITH THE SUBJECT 'BAKE ME AN ALBUM'
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.
Proving you can make hip-hop that's intelligent yet inviting, self-aware but not a "joke", 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.
