Da'Krash or Kool Skool

I prefer Da'Krash over Kool Skool......Da'Krash was hard core funk and with Jesse Johnson at the helm they were destined for some big success so i thought. The Debut self titled CD was AWESOME drums, guitars & Keys all over the place these guys rocked it REALLY they did. When the scandel broke about the lead singer of Da'Krash things changed and so did the lead singer and the name change to Kool Skool and dont get me wrong they had KEY CUTS i liked on the follow up but not as much as Da'Krash debut. The guys had guitars and drums but i was'nt feeling all the rap type stuff. I could only imagine Da'Krash opening for jesse and just ripping it along with Tamar & The Scene doing their thing as well. I WONDER WHY THEY CHANGED NAMES ANYWAY???

DaKrash by a landslide.

I prefer the lead singer of that group and while I like some NJS, Kool Skool isn't doing it for me.

You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

Agreed on LOVING Da'Krash by a landslide. Those cats were killing it LIVE. Kool Skool was aiight but once the lead singer of Da'Krash was gone it was a WRAP. Not knocking the new lead singer because i did like some of the cuts on self titled Kool Skool release.

DaKrash easily. Musically they killed it.

Kool Skool was okay especially when they chose to dip back into

their old sound like Take Me, Never Thought I'd Miss You, Mercy Mercy Me.

I guess after all the drama with the lead singer DaKrash kind of changed

with the times much like Attension morphed into Joe Public.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Child Molestation charges was the scandel and i believe that lead to the demise of Da'Krash and they had SO MUCH PROMISE........
