K.I.D.S. (backronym for 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.[2] The title is a reference to the 1995 drama film Kids, which is quoted throughout the mixtape.[3][4] It was later commercially released on April 29, 2020.[5] A deluxe version was released on its 10th anniversary and includes two new tracks.[6]
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".[7][8][9][10][11][12] 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.[13] The lawsuit was settled out of court in December 2012, with its stipulations kept confidential.[14]
To support the mixtape, Miller embarked on his first tour in early 2011, the "Incredibly Dope Tour".[15] Miller sold out at every location on the tour.[16]
Rapper Logic credits the song "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" as an inspiration to create his track "Young Sinatra," which has become an alter ego.[17]
All lyrics are written by Mac Miller.
