Despite my obsession with all things electro since I started college in 2005, hiphop will always be close to my heart. And while I couldn’t be whiter if I tried, it allows me to indulge my ‘ghetto’ side.
I recently (and randomly) came across these guys:
The Cool Kids are old skool hip-hop at its absolute best. And when I say old skool, I mean old skool. Their beats are straight outta the 80s and their lyrics take the p*ss out of all the other hip-hop artists who rap about nothing more than their 22-inch rims and hustlin’ lifestyles.
The Cool Kids are Antoine “Mikey Rocks” Reed (from Illinois) and Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll (from Michigan). They were listed in Rolling Stone’s Ten Artists To Watch In 2008 .
Do yourself a favour and check ‘em out on Myspace.

Aaah, nothing beats a good bit of old skool. Commercial rap and hip hop has now begun to look, act and feel like the last days of Rome-debauchery, excess and complacency.
We need more guys like Cool Kids to make it all good again.
