Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids sat down with VladTV about releasing 2008's The Bake Sale, which they admitted wasn't something they thought about packaging. They explained that the music seemed "old" to them because they had recorded it months prior to the release, and they didn't think it would take off.
Moving along, the two rappers spoke about people labeling them as "hipster" or "EDM" rappers, but Chuck Inglish pointed out that all styles of rap are accepted today. He went on to speak about how Kanye shifted things in hip-hop away from being predominately about drugs or violence, which you can hear more about above.

Bake Sale is a CLASSIC..! That album opened up doors for there to be a new kind of rapper/hip hop artist. True pioneers.

Haha I sure did. I was in middle school, and my dad brought home this album one day after he got off work. He said a friend from work lent it to him so he could check it out. Told him they were pretty cool. The album wasn't in a plastic case, it was one of those thin hard paper type of album covers with the right side open to where you could just tilt it a little bit and the disk would slide out easily. It was the first CD I ever saw that was packaged like that. I remember being like "woah..". I remember looking at the album cover for like 20 mins. and just being in awe, like "who made this?!". I thought it was the coolest. I had never seen a hip hop album cover like that til that day. I'm an animator. I've been drawing literally since I can remember thinking, so I was immediately drawn in by the cartoons, and the overall aesthetic of the presentation. It just looked so cool. Also, I'm a music lover, but I grew up primarily listening and being surrounded by hip hop and r&b. And at the time this album came out, I was disappointed with where hip hop music was. "Crank Dat" by Soulja Boy came out a couple years before and the whole snap craze had changed the tone of the music. The beats changed, the feel changed, etc. I just felt hip hop going into another phase, or at least a phase that I wasn't into as much as the early to mid 2000's and late 90's. 106 and Park started being kinda lame, and the radio started to get lame too, and so I had pretty much been at a place to where I didn't look for new hip hop music the way I did prior. So when I saw this album cover and just took in the whole aesthetic of the presentation it drew me in because it was different, and just the album cover alone was a breath of fresh air. I had a crappy stereo with a cd player and so me and my brother put it in, and literally sat down listening to it playing this video game called "SKATE". It was the best hip hop album I had heard within the past few years, at least since Late registration. I was immediately a fan, and would take it to school with me and listen to it on the bus rides to and from school. I have about 10-15 albums in my life that I have a special place in my heart for and The Bake Sale is definitely one of those albums. CLASSIC. That year when I'd go skating with my friends, there would always be some Cool Kids playing, at least at some point.

"I thought I needed to sell dope or have some dirt on me to be a rapper". This is true. That's why asking rappers about their "street past" or whether or not they were ever involved in the streets is such a cliche interview question that always gets asked.

"Black mags" was all over MTV and BET years before New Boys "You a jerk" ...and Mikey Rocks was clearly wearing some skinny ass jeans in that video. New Boys/Jerk was a bigger song, but they weren't the first in the 2000s doing the retro fashion. People were still on dipset hangover.

@FirstNation1492 6 жыл бұрын

Wordisgood It went from 08 jerking then the retro age to now. I seen the whole start of it from it first being on native american punkrockers who would sagg them.

@Wordisgood 6 жыл бұрын

I been following hip hop since the 90s ...i'm in my 30s...I saw it all unfold in both decades...It went dipset/fitted hats/baggy clothes around the mid 2000s....Cool Kids "Black Mags", and "Delivery man" video with the retro styles in 2007..."You a jerk" wasn't hot/impactful widespread in the streets until 2009.....The New Boyz were more popular than the Cool Kids, and "You a Jerk" was bigger--but they weren't the first to put the skinny jeans and snapbacks back into the mix. Pharrell and Cool Kids were on it first in the 2000s, and it transitioned away from the Dipset style of dress, with the fitteds and baggy clothes.
