No idea it was coming.  Have some.

Dudes have been busy lately.

The Cool Kids - Bundle Up

   The Cool Kids – Bundle Up by Hypetrak
It's been 73 years since we first started hearing about When Fish Ride Bicycles, and it seems now that it might actually be released some time in the Spring...whatever that means.  For better or worse, it sounds like the next album is gonna be the same vibe as the last one.

Pulled Over By The Cops (Cool Kids, Freddie Gibbs & Chip Tha Ripper) - Authority

I'm always down with a super group.  We need more of them.
In total, Pulled Over by the Cops = The Cool Kids, Freddie Gibbs, Chip Tha Ripper, Bun B and production team Blended Babies.  Granted, I'm far from being a fan of all of the above there, but you never know.  Let's see what comes out of this.

Cold War Kids ft. Sir Michael Rocks (of Cool Kids) - Mine Is Yours (Blended Baby Remix)

Fancy.
Got bongos and whatnot.

All City Chess Club - We Beamin' (I'm Beamin Remix)

   All City Chess Club - We Beamin' (Remix) by Detailsofmylife
I forgot all about the whole ACCC thing.
In this instance, the Club consists of Lupe, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton (ugh), the Cool Kids, Blu, Diggy, B.o.B, and someone named Dosage (?)

There really aren't enough posse cuts these days.

The Cool Kids: Tacklebox

Uhhhh...yeah.
Had no idea that this mixtape was coming, so I don't know what to tell ya.
Get it here.

Pac Div ft. The Cool Kids - Shut Up

The visuals for the inevitable collabo.

The Cool Kids ft. Boldy James - Tires

Not too shabby.
Visuals for one of them jams on the Christmas mixtape I mentioned earlier.
I could do without this Boldy James fellow, however.

UPDATE: The Post-Christmas Recap

UPDATE:  I changed my mind, I'm gonna throw everything from the last 3-4 days worth mentioning into one big post.  Much easier this way.

Salutations, and all that, people.
Back in the (literal and figurative) office for the first time since last Wednesday...
...and it feels mighty fine.

I imagine the bulk of stuff this morning is gonna be a recap of what I was too lazy and chilled out to bother coming online and telling you about all weekend...SO, let's get to work (in a rapid-fire fashion until I catch up).

Get the goods after the J. Nathaniel . . .

The Cool Kids - Knocked Down

The Cool Kids - New Music - More Music Videos

Ohhhh, I see what they're doing...a very gradual transition away from the throwback appeal without losing their essential Cool Kid-ness.  Very smart, gentlemen.

The Cool Kids x Don Cannon: Gone Fishing

Newness, from the Chicago boys.
Haven't checked it yet, myself...but I will soon. I'm hoping that The Cool Kids have added a little diversity to their sound this time around.
Have some.

Werdplay - My Big Wheel

Heheheheheheh.
Chuck Inglish on them beats.

Werdplay on Da Space.

New Pac Div EP

Pac Div released a 3-song EP yesterday, featuring "Taste", "Mayor" and "Shut Up".
Get on that shit. It'll buss' your head wide open.

I know it'll never happen . . .but I'm really bored . . .
So, America...let's get a beef goin' between Pac Div and The Cool Kids. C'mon. We can do this. None of that cornball gun-talk bullshit. Just a dope, (pseudo) old-school, jam-for-jam crew battle to take us through the summer. I think the internet would implode on itself if this happened. It doesn't even have to be a "real" battle. They can be best friends in reality for all I care. I just need them to be on some "Why you bitin' our style" shit from Memorial Day until about Labor Day. Make a jam about how eachother kicks are scuffed and how one of the dudes in the other group has a hollow rope chain. Thell me you wouldn't LOVE that shit!! I can hear my speakers blowin' out (again...warranty them shits) already. I don't think this is too much to ask. make it happen, America.

Mikey Rocks (Cool Kids) ft. Hollywood Holt & Dude Royal - This Shit Is Easy

DISCLAIMER: Once again, my laptop has decided that it doesn't want to play embeded audio at the moment, so don't blame me if this is super whack...I haven't heard it yet.

In theory, it has to be at least decent, right?
Right.

Have some.
(A-HA!! The zShare jammie is workin' . . .I'm feelin' it. Enjoy.)

The Cool Kids - Pennies

If you're obsessed with the whoopin' of digital asses in NBA 2K9 like I am, then you know this jam already.

Kenna ft. Chuck English - Loose Wires (Remix)

One half of the Cool Kids joins Kenna for the remix of "Loose Wires"...the song that answers the eternal question of "What would David Bowie sound like if he were born post Hip-Hop?"

Yup...again.

Is it possible to be on a song's nuts?

If you haven't gotten the Maroon 5 remix album yet, I have 2 words for you: Stop frontin'.
You know you like Maroon 5 anyway. Why lie about it? Is your street cred so unofficial that you can't jam whatever you want? Damn.

Just go get it! Between this "CD" (what are those, again?) and Universal Mind Control, you should be car-dancing non-stop until at least mid-January.
