Das Racist. The name just begs for weird looks and the occasional misunderstanding. Oddly, the music does too.
Imagine a rap song where the emcees rap about being at Pizza Hut and Taco Bell and the lyrics barely extend beyond the song title. Now imagine that the song is actually good, maybe even brilliant—you can't, right? Well, you'll just have to trust me and listen to it.
The duo raps over a grimey drum track that sounds like classic L.A. Symphony, while the Wallpaper remix gives them a club beat with horns, guitars and electro synths. I can't decide which version I love more—can you?
Props to The Burning Ear for turning me on to this crazy song.
UPDATE Das Racist's full-length debut drops in August!
