One of the few Makin artists that seemed to have survived the label’s implosion, Bad Seed  makes out just fine on “For The Kids”. Someone might want to compare this to the “Hard Knock Life” school of tracks that just jack some Broadway song riff, but that doesn’t quite capture the feel of “For the Kids” despite the sped-up vocal hook on the chorus. Bad Seed is still coming as the ruffneck lyricist: “whether you broke as a joke/or you balling with clout/you draw your gun/I draw blood/next, they chalkin’ you out.” “They Love Me” is more of the same, with another loop-friendly track ripped from some 1950s song (or so it sounds).
