Hipster Hip Hop

The Cool Kids - Black Mags


The Cool Kids - 88

I instinctively feel that there's something not quite right about it. I feel like it's a smug 'I understand how this works and I can use it' sort of approach to hip hop. Still, it is sort of catchy. I'm really not down with that retro fashion stuff though.

What do we think?

that is kind of catchy
he's a good rapper tho'

as far as the trend stuff goes, i think you're pretty well right
but if they wanted to be super-trendy they would have done a track about fixed gear road bikes
or was that all hot and happening last month...
and yeah, i can do without 80s' fashion on the whole

...and now i'm hitting replay

It was a sarky piss-take right? I thought it was funny. And cool.

Yay - I've made it to the end of May. I've listened to Jan, Feb, March, April and May tonight. It's been great.
