Blowin' in the wind with an Ice Grill


Pretty much Fresh...Underrated at times; If you like to place labels on people. The Cool Kids aren't your average group. These Chicago natives hit you song after song with dope rhymes over hard hitting Kicks and Snares that fight with a mean baseline; Somewhat like the hard hitting style of 80's rappers, very reminiscent of cats like Run DMC, Just WAAAAAYYY flyer. These cats got "lyrics to go"...and go they will. If you watch the entourage...you probably have heard the dope boy fresh spit on the track "Mikey Rocks".



If your not familiar by now, then you will be in due time. For all you NBA live fans, although we have diminished in number(sad to say), you can catch the Cool Kids on Live 08, delivering that 80's baby flyness on the track "88". They have also been featured on the track "Gettin' It" By Lil' Wayne. Dope can't describe them, fresh can't describe them. These dudes can only be described by words used outside of the English language. Mikey and Chuck are just Mikey and Chuck(Labels Don't Fit ya dig, hence the underground appeal). These dudes are leaving a big hand print on the P.H.A.T "video hoe" Ass of the game, and when they get to the face, Nigga's better Duck. Be on the look out for there debut album C.A.K.E. Definitely Hyphenated.

For your enjoyment: "Black Mags"(Be sure to vote for the video @ http://www.mtvu.com/video/?id=1570055&vid=177352) Props to Constance K for the vid and the lovely Photos..sick lady right there...

Side note For Jena



2007, and still no rights. Its a shame that we can't even sit underneath trees anymore. Something as harmless as hiding away from the shade is even off limits now. In the words of Mos Def- "The Fuck I'm supposed to tell my Children?". What can WE say? Lets not get it confused here. This is not just a Black problem, or a White problem, this is a Human problem. How are we to look each other in the face anymore. I don't even think the devil could dream up such a scenario.


Video = Mos Def and Cornell West on Bill Maher




"If a black person does something in Jena, they do more time than a white person. It's always been that way," "The white kids here can run loose, drink beer, whatever. But if you are black, don't you dare act like that."
-Melissa Bell(Mother of Mychal Bell)
