I'm stickin' to the script like java when I say that Gettin' It still sounds hotter than lava. A very necessary rearrangement of Jam-Master Jay after Nas stunk the original beat up with his nauseating sex rhymes when he jacked it for You Know My Style. Gettin' It is such a message in a bottle from the Blog Era™ innit? The Cool Kids did their thing for 2 16s before Lil' Wayne came through and gaffled the song with 3 verses. Gettin' It was a loosie which was never released to retail and has still never made it to DSPs, but the MP3 went platinum on Hulkshare.
My favourite Cool Kids memory: Will High being absolutely disgusted by Mikey Rocks' skinny jeans in the Black Mags video. Absolute fury from a bloke who hadn't even listened to music made by blk ppl since 1999. My other favourite Cool Kids nemory: Mikey Rocks blowing my mind and my laptop speakers at the SAME DAMN TIME when I first heard it on MySpace in 2007. It was, to paraphrase Jason Fox, new school Rap with an old school steelo.

Even more importantly than that, the Cool Kids MySpace page led me to discover future Martorialist favourite/Chicago's best kept secret Mic Terror via Cold As Hell and Juke Them Hoes. Shout out to Tom Anderson, the only tech-bloke social media entrepreneur who made the world a better place and then dipped with that Murdoch money.

Never seen somebody feature with 3 verses! :D Wayne flooded the track
A first and last?
Forgot about these guys. Loved all those early songs.
They even did an introspective backpack song back then.
Chuck Inglish being Boldy James’ cousin and Mikey being BJ the Chicago Kid cousin is so random lol
It's a family affair™
Vaguely remember a Cool Kids thread on the Baby Blue. Think it might have been when I first heard Black Mags.
Decided to cop The Bake Sale EP while my brain melts during the bank holiday heatwave.
Good choice.
I just rewatched Krush Groove.
