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.
