“Chickety-choco, the chocolate chicken
Half Choco-Taco, quarter Chippewa Indian.”
Sick song, funny video and lyrics that get stuck in my head all day. Mad love for DR.
A really well-written essay that starts off with an introduction to Das Racist and quickly ascends into a talk about the Indian-American cultural affairs of the last thirty years, how hip hop affected that and what exactly Das Racist has to do with all this.
It’s incredible how much I can relate to this, as an Hispanic. Completely different, I know, but my parents did that exact same things and I grew up in very similar circumstances. I especially connected with the part about Menezes’ going to an all-white school and then returning to a home where everyone is like you. That’s elementary school all the way for me.
It’s a long read, but totally worth it.
Mmm, I love this song. Heems’ rapping begins pretty badly but then it picks up so nicely, it’s now my favorite part of the song.
This album as a whole turned out quite nicely. “Relax,” “Happy Rappy,” “Brand New Dance” and “Shut Up, Man” are all stand-outs in my book. “Girl” right here though is the one I’ve been bumping the most.
Dammit, I love DR.

And to think it all started with “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.” The hip-hop jokers in Das Racist have grown into acerbic satire hustlers - they sound like Cheech and Chong, if those guys were into rhymes like, “No trustem whitefaceman like Geronimo/Tried to go to Amsterdam, they threw us in Guantánamo.” The trio’s first official (i.e., for profit) LP has one-liners over beats from Diplo and El-P. Their political humor is, as they say, “dark like the rainbow in a Ronnie James Dio joint.” But they also love dumb wordplay (“Don King playing Donkey Kong”), video games and girls whose hair smells like Newports.

You feel me? Holla!
Really fucking weird music video. Loved the appearances at the end.
Naming a band is no easy feat. For Brooklyn-based rappers Das Racist, their attention-getting moniker has become as much a hindrance as a help.
“Everyone tries to make a joke every time you say it,” sighs Victor Vazquez, a 27-year-old San Francisco transplant who met bandmate…
That’s stupid
I’m stupid
Don’t listen to what I say
Don’t spend your time worrying about what I think about
Pop champagne
Have a good time
Wild out wild out wild out!
There’s so many ways to wild out.
