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. - Розваги

Bake Sale is a CLASSIC..! That album opened up doors for there to be a new kind of rapper/hip hop artist. True pioneers.
You never even heard the album... stop frontin'.
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.
Sir Mike still look like 2008 that nihga don't age
I still bump delivery man & black mags to this day.
I remember they had my old ass wearing skinny jeans on Piru

Jay Jetzon Drake is apart of the wave too.. comeback season came out around that time like 06'07 killing the underground scene
Gone fishing still a top 5 mixtape of all time

"Uh we had a label that was called cake" 💀
The cool kids are trend setters. First ones bringing the snap back hats back to forefront
PragmaticProminence facts
PragmaticProminence That throwback Nautica,ASAP tried to do the same wit Tommy
PragmaticProminence thank you
PragmaticProminence Caps and snapbscks been in rap for a long time , NWA rocked the style of caps even back then
Tyga and chris brown stole they're whole swag on that song they made called snap back backs!!
Tackle Box a classic!
The cool kids changed the "hipster scene" whatever that is. they can ACTUALLY RAP, with content and substance and SWAG.
I think these guys brought snapbacks & skinny jeans back in to Hip Hop.

These guys are legends. They were original as fuck. Nowadays artists aren't themselves because it's about the money. They aren't showing off their individuality. You can make money by being themselves and the Cool Kids are a great example of it.
Stephen Buckner Legends? Fuck outta here. Metro ass niggas
Tyga, Chris Brown, Young Money, Big Sean, Kid Cudi. All stole they fashion sense from these two.
Jthrillz 728 didn't steal they phone phone were highly influenced and Cudi had his own style
Miss this era in hip hop...
They broke down every era of hip hop precisely
The one on the left wants to be Andre3000 so bad and the one on the right is the humble wise one, like Big Boi.
"Gettin it" featured lil wayne was the shit
Started the throwback wave I was one of those kids that had pennies on my MySpace
I liked SMR on his solo shit,but The Cool Kids #Lengendary

Lupe Fiasco > Kanye... Honestly Lupe > Everybody
FINALLY, Chuck is letting Mikey speak 😆 watch most past interviews and Chuck just rambles on but its cool to let Mikey speak 🔥
OMG in myspace days these guys were EVERYTHING lol I remember my college roommate and I were obsessed with Mikey Rocks.
ITS THE DELIVERY MAN
Facts tho, niggas like Kanye and the Cool Kids especially showed me you ain't gotta be a gangster to rap. I know there were non gangster rappers before them but they really drove it home to me to just be yourself and be cool
Sir Mike!!
finally keep it coming
damnnnnn son everything they stating is pure fact im goin thru serious nostalgia with this one
the first time I heard cool kids was in nba live 08 and to this day thank you live.
Please tell me they're dropping new music. I keep Bake Sale and Gone Fishin' in rotation to this day.
Black Mags was legendary along with the Lap of Lux tapes.
I didn't know they were still a duo, I fucked with them heavy back in like 2009.

Underground legends #coolkids
It's funny cause I was rocking puma Romas in high schools and certain people might try to say something slick but soon and Rihanna or meek mill get seen in pumas everybody wears them
Uncrowned legends
“They had to drop outta college to do it how we did it”
Wise young men. I used to bump bake sale when i was like 19
Everybody wants to put the "skinny jeans" era on them. They didnt bring that in...they were just young rappers who rapped about young stuff. Blame the New Boyz and Jerking movement for skinny jeans.
"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.
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.
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.
You tripping.
Nick Lee FACTS
Dope !
It's funny how much I feel like dude on the left, since I was a young kid too. My problem is that I used to think that if I thought something was cool than everyone else would. That definitely isn't reality, but I stay unique anyway. Also, dude on the right is dropping 100% facts.
"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.
I use to kick it with Mikey Rocks sister when she went to Clark Atlanta in college she use to always talk about her brother had swag and he a rapper and he had their mom buying a hummer to ride them around and stun for their rap career.
2 legends
It went back to that
i was born in 96 but hes right i remember all this
I remember Cool Kids were def the first ones to wear skinny jeans. at the time I was like wtf but the music was fire and some of the fashion they wore was hella 90's Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air style. nobody cared till Lil Wayne put on skinny jeans then everybody was on it. Kanye my favorite artist but he piggy backed off Wayne wit skinny jeans and Wayne piggy backed off The Cool Kids
yea I like wearing different shits, but I kinda keep on the somewhat skinny jeans, more like stretch slim is my favorite fit (because I wear lots of sneakers and Ima skinny guy). but really skinny jeans are out and have been out of style since like 2016. Im not on that baggy shit though, I'm good on that one lol, big ass jeans eat up your cool sneakers
I was hella bumping them back in the day but no one was fucking with them but me... I dug their style
Is it me, or is their chemistry kinda off in this video? They just don't seem like they're jelling
Robbie Jay they broke up at one point so they prolly ain't the same
Robbie Jay I was about to make that comment before I saw yours. They wasn't on the same page when asked about the album and Mikey wearing the skinny jeans
Robbie Jay they seem like they just got some bad news or had an argument
Robbie Jay I saw them live at Afro Punk a few days ago and trust me, they haven't missed a beat. They perform like that brief hiatus never existed. I think Vlad interviews are just awkward in general lmao.
Robbie Jay u thinking too hard about pointless shit. These niggas seem regular. U used to these new niggas hugging and shit and bromancin
I wonder if Chuck still got any of them starters.
.underground. legends . Them and Spaceghostpurrp . They been on the 🌊 . True #visionaries .
I still listen to Bake Sale
That's the thing tho, I was on them in like 06 and kicking it old school like them, I remember hearing black mags and "little bit cooler" and being like YO, wtf this is on some OTHER SHIT
Put a lot of people on em back in the day, in fact I was put on by this transfer kid from LA, so he already knew what was up to us South Texans haha.
And yes skinny jeans are def out in certain groups. Esp the vintage kids and skateboarders
I fucked with their style.They've always been some of the freshest in the game!
Pennies on the ground anyone?

Bake sale was a classic point blank .
TO ME WHO CHUCK IS TALKING ABOUT IS:
LUPE
KID CUDI
DRAKE
THE COOL KIDS etc.. that came after Yé…THERE NEEDS TO BE A DOCUMENTARY ON THAT ERA.. That Chuck is talking about
Dope glasses, they probably some oliver peoples...
they where way ahead with the sound style i did not like the style at first but thats with great art
Anybody born in the 90's knows exactly what they mean.
@djvlad Do can you interview Pac Div?
Accurate af
♨♨♨♨♨♨💯💯💯💯
Icons on the low
It's my main man mikey!!
And thats why Kanye is in my top 5 all time
Pennies on the ground was the one back then
English is looking like.. "Bruh, stop stuntin'."
Boom. That is how important Kanye was to the game. He changed The whole game so you didn't have to be about that life to rap.
Before Kanye?...😂😂😂
CHECK THIS BELOW BRA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🚒
Yeah, Iceberg was expensive as shit.
Waddup! Waddup!

Yout set up tommmy sotomayor
im white but self identifie myself as black
trap4dafu2k0fit most of yall do
I love this game! Cuz I created it !
Vlad TV see music
Dude has his timeline all the way fucked up.. I would give Eminem hottest in the game 99' and 00' and then Hov in 01'. Em again in 02' with Nelly a close 2nd.. And 50 didn't come out the gate running until 03' then Ye in 04' and 50 again in 05'...
Nas and DMX is missing bruh...
C B Walker Nas has never been a hottest in the game rapper unless you were living in New York in 91'.. And I recently did a hottest rapper list of the past 20 years and DMX is on that list. He was the hottest of 1998
Totally neglected to mention the Southern rap scene and it's influence on Hip Hop today, be it positive or negative. I don't think you can credit Kanye for the mumble rap dog shit of today. And as for saying Hip Hop is in the best period it has been in a long time is insanity.
Truck Turner yeah as far as money for the Artist it is. As far as music, hell no.
