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[]

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]
