Gone Fishing is the 2009 hip hop mixtape by Midwest rap duo The Cool Kids, and their second official mixtape after 2007's That's Stupid!. The album was executive produced by Jonathan "J.P." Keller and Chuck Inglish, while the album was mixed by Don Cannon.[1] The mixtape was released on May 5, 2009, as an appetizer for their forthcoming album When Fish Ride Bicycles.[2][3][4]
The mixtape was noted for its "electro banging beats and funny lyrics".[5] The Chicago Reader noted that "the songs are ambitious and fully formed, showing a lot of range without sacrificing accessibility".[6] According to FFWD's Garth Paulson, "The tape features the usual lackadaisical attitude, geeky references and early hip-hop idolization that rapidly sparks arguments over whether the Chicago duo is a breath of fresh air or willingly stale."[7]Village Voice's Zach Baron said of the mixtape: "Inglish's beats are exactly as bass-thick, synth-wide, sample-heavy, and ambling as the duo's throwback raps, which here are in fine form."[8]Pitchfork Media compared Gone Fishing unfavorably with The Bake Sale, suggesting it may be "a collection of castoffs that weren't good enough to make When Fish Ride Bicycles", but conceded that "Even when they're on autopilot, their icy flatness has style."[9]
