You’ll either love these guys for their hilarious raps or hate them for their idiocy, but they probably wouldn’t have it any other way. Personally, I love their style – witty without being too smart, self-indulging without being cocky, and humorous without trying too hard – all combined with some street charm that can’t really be described with normal vocabulary. The silly rap trio made waves in 2010 by releasing two free mixtapes, the first being Shut Up Dude and the second Sit Down, Man, and they don’t look to be disappearing any time soon. If you didn’t already know, you oughta know.

The following excerpt is taken directly from their facebook page. I’d suggest giving it a quick read if you care to know about Das Racist and/or want a good laugh. These dudes are real.

“Das Racist is a weed edge/hare krishna hard core/art rap/freak folk music trio based in brooklyn, new york, comprised of queens-born himanshu kumar suri, san francisco-born victor vazquez, and queens-born ashok kondabolu. Suri and vazquez met at sarah lawrence bard pomona wesleyan art college in massachusetts, where victor was himanshu’s resident advisor in a “students of color for social justice” themed freshman year dormitory. The duo later added kondabolu as a hype man and spiritual advisor.

After a couple of years of occasional drunken freestyles with each other, Himanshu and Victor decided to record a couple of raps together.

The first of which was called “We Made It” and immediately became a hit amongst stupid assholes who like rap from the 1990s and really want that shit to keep happening. The second track was called “Fever” and it was fucking terrible – really bad. Then they made some other songs and then they made “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” which is the one that everyone likes and then they made some other songs.”
