All this speculation about whether or not you would like them seems weird WHEN THEIR ALBUMS ARE FREE!

no mention at all of this amazing Billy Joel sampling / referencing bit of work so far? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzCukmO4fhg

Pizza Hut is sort of fun though.
also the Paul's Boutique description makes me want to like them but

The other day I was thinking how, besides the Beastie Boys touchstone, there's also early Scritti Politti's critical theory and alienation effects.
I wonder how bands like this would've been appreciated ten years ago, or before the Internet Runs Your Life era. Would they just have a cult following like Ween?
If nothing else they epitomize the way hipsterism and nerdiness has been blurred in the last few years.

have we decided what this year's indie fuxxor novelty hit is?
Die Antwoord "Enter The Ninja"? Or James Blake's hilarious "Look I Found Her Red Coat Song"?

Das Racist are on Pete Wentz's booking label (with Travie McCoy and Gabe Saporta). Just putting that out there.

would like to like their music cuz they seem like very cool dudes, but eh
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 September 2011 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
It's funny, it's got great beats, and their rapping skills are top-notch. Not sure why people hate on them, unless their only exposure to Das Racist was the Pizza Hut/Taco Bell track.
― schwantz, martes 7 de diciembre de 2010 16:56 (9 months ago) Bookmark
yeah all of this - if anyone really is still judging based on the pizza hut track from X years ago (which i never liked) they'd be self-clowning. lol especially after sit down man which was more or less unfuckwithable - butter production + smart lyrics, i'm hard-pressed to find what's so unlikeable about it.
last year to try to figure out how to use reaper i did an edit/rmx/thing of rapping 2 u with organismo soulbeat's de foonk de discohttp://soundcloud.com/pushingit/rapping-2-disco
have no idea what sound is behind that spotify link as i'll never install it but hyped for relax

too bad you'll never instal it, you could be enjoying Das Racist right now
I've been meaning to make a shipley-style Idolator post where I categorize the 30 types of hipster so we stop just calling all these disparate groups "hipsters"
