If you like your hip-hop retro style square in the roundhouse of 1988, well don't look further, these here Cool Kids and their wackity wack, "The Bake Sale," will keep your toes tappin', head bobbin', and body poppin' right through Fall, into Winter, Spring and back to summer 'till ya hot again boi!
Actually, goegraphically dislocated hip-hop duo dj's or whatever one calls them, rapping Mikey Rocks from Detroit, MI and Chuck English providing the beats from Chi-town, mix all their influences and talents creating this unique mash-up of...hmmmm...I'd say LL Cool J, a little Nelly, a whole lot of Slick Rick the Ruler, and you've got some class A hip hop for the new generation hip hop hipsters.
As far as the music goes, ... Read More:

These guys are great. It remains to be seen if this is fluke but I like what I hear so far. They managed to capture the 88 sound to a T! Hints of Gucci Crew, MC Ade and even Dynamix II are here.
They give props to the Beasties at one point too.
Standout tracks:
- Mikey Rocks
- Black Mags
The way they rap over the semi-screwed 808s is terrific. Blast this in your ride or thump the walls in the house, this album is going to catch you nodding.

Excellent album. Although it may not be the best hip-hop album of the year, it definately has a very fresh sound, you can't help but smile and nod your head along to alot of the tracks on this album, especially What's Up Man and Mikey Rocks.

This was a cd amazon had been recommending for a while now and I finally just bought it so it would disappear of the page. This CD is cheesy but cheesy in an awesome way. Like other reviewers stated the lyrics including references to pagers and sega's won't blow your mind they fit the overblown drum machine braggadocious b-boy vibe the Cool Kids were going for. Especially where rap is either trash (Lil Wayne btw why is he on all 4 radio stations anytime I listen!!??) or the underground where they definitely can take themselves a bit too serious, this cd fits as a great alternative. Everyone who has heard it begged me for a copy. All in All BUY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THIS IS AWESOME STUFF!

If I could add more stars, this page would be full of gold stars and if there was something I just had to say bad about this album that would be that it's just ten tracks. After you hear the Bake Sale you won't be able to get enough. But apart from that, this album is lyrically on point. Mickey rips it apart on the track "Mickey Rocks". The Bake Sale is TRUE hip-hop minus the everyday same old radio trash (RAP, wannbe hip-hop) people are forced to listen to. I really commend Mickey and Chuck for there crafty sample of early 90's and 80's Hip-hop beats. NWA, Run DMC, Salt and Pepa, and more. If you are looking for true hip-hop I highly recommend this album. It's just 2 COOL.
