If The Cool Kids were making music today, they would be A LOT bigger than they were in 2007. They were so different for their time.

These guys are the truth. Pushed the envelope on aesthetic, sound, and promotion in a new way that made 'Internet rapper' the trope it is today. Remember eagerly blasting this as the first song I ever heard in my first decent headphones in 2009. Chuck's verse the next year on the Fat Raps remix on FF3. Finding out it was his beat 'XXL' from WRKING. Amazing how time flies but quality doesn't fade.
