Editorial Reviews

Gym Class Heroes are a four-member alternative hip-hop band from Geneva, New York. It was the band's alternative hip-hop style and use of live instruments in favour of looped samples and canned beats that caught the attention of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who immediately signed the group to his Decaydance imprint. Gym Class Heroes have gained critical acclaim around the world for kicking out genre-busting jams that seamlessly meld rap, rock & r'n'b. With their highly successful 2006 tour with Fall Out Boy and headlined sold out dates the band has built a large, dedicated fan base and established an overwhelming online presence. ‘Cupid's Chokehold' features Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy and contains a sample from Supertramp's ‘Breakfast In America'. It the first single released from the band's sophomore album "As Cruel As School Children".

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Hip-Hop Song Made Better by Supertramp's Roger Hodgson., March 27, 2007

This review is from: Cupid's Chokehold (Audio CD)

It's kind of hard to ignore this Hip-Hop Tune since it is currently ranked at #4 on the Billboard's charts. What really sets it apart though is the inclusion of the song "Breakfast In America" written by Supertramp's Roger Hodgson. Oddly there doesn't seem to be any recognition of this fact from either the group or it's label. The Video of this song is very good.
