K.I.D.S. (Kickin' Incredibly Dope Shit) is the fourth mixtape by American rapper Mac Miller. It was released by Rostrum Records on August 13, 2010, through DatPiff.[1] The title is a play on words, as an acronym for 'Kickin' Incredibly Dope Shit' and a reference to the 1995 film Kids, which is quoted throughout the mixtape.[2][3] It was later commercially released on April 29, 2020.[4] A deluxe version was released on its 10th anniversary and includes two new tracks.[5]
Content and release[edit]
Seven songs from K.I.D.S. had music videos created for them: 'Nikes On My Feet', 'Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza', 'Knock Knock', 'Senior Skip Day', 'La La La La', 'Traffic In The Sky', and 'Don't Mind If I Do'.[6][7][8][9][10][11] The videos for 'Nikes on My Feet' and 'Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza' were both heavily played on YouTube, reaching over 50 million views each. Both songs featured prominent classic hip-hop samples, from Q-Tip's remix of Nas' 'The World Is Yours' and Lord Finesse's 'Hip 2 Da Game', respectively. In July 2012, Finesse filed a $10 million lawsuit against Miller, Rostrum and DatPiff for use of the sample.[12] The lawsuit was settled out of court in December 2012, with its stipulations kept confidential.[13]
To support the mixtape, Miller embarked on his first tour in early 2011, the 'Incredibly Dope Tour'.[14] Miller sold out at every location on the tour.[15]
Rapper Logic credits the song 'Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza' as an inspiration to create his debut mixtape.[16]
