31. The Cool Kids Episode

Summary: On this episode me and Tony talk with the Cool Kids. They're from the Chi and were a seminal part of the new wave of Chicago hip hop. They set a blueprint for how to build a fanbase on the internet. They split a few years back and recently reunited. We actually recorded this one a few months ago and I had to listen for some edits and it was really fun. We talked about their rise and obstacles and also the conversation somehow veered to sex robot philosophy. We freestyled and made some goofy songs. It's a fun ep. @thecoolxkids @chuckisdope @sirmichaelrocks 2:35 - Early Days 6:00 - No Kid Podcast 10:30 - 25 MPH 13:30 - Science Makes Me Happy 16:35 - Beats 20:38 - Gimme A Groove 24:20 - New Project 28:45 - Gettin It 31:00 - Clones 38:30 - Touring? 43:25 - Laugh Track Guy 47:35 - Town Hall Scene 51:00 - MySpace 55:00 - The Snowball 1:00:45 - Greg 1:03:00 - Let’s Rap 1:09:08 - New Juke Songs? 1:12:00 - Fuck to your music? 1:18:25 - Fuckbot 1:23:40 - Robot Home-wrecker 1:29:00 - Me & Big Shirley 1:31:05 - The Wrap-up
