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.
