"Sayonara to afros and old flows/ The concept of rocking shows is so old/ Just keep them off the wall like Vans logos."
Photos of the Cool Kids would not be out of place in the '80s hip-hop photography of Ricky Powell or Glenn Friedman. The duo appears as a walking footnote to the decade, from the brightly colored jackets to the bringin'-'88-back sensibility to their spare, drum-machine based beats. However, Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks are indeed an uber-incarnation of contemporary aesthetics. All to say: yes, the co-signs from fellow Chicagoans, like Kanye, Flosstradamus, et. al. make sense; yes, the Rhapsody commercial and the spot in HBO's Entourage makes sense; and, yes, The Bake Sale is just the jump off.
