Das Racist - Speakin' in Tungs (Freestyle)
Producer: Puma n Sire
Album: Unreleased
Label: Greedhead Ent.
Booth readers with a thing for incredibly stupid but inexplicably funny (depending on your sense of humor) viral phenomena may recognize Brooklyn’s Das Racist from Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell, an under-the-radar hit which found rappers Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez stretching a one-line joke, with minor variations, into a three-minute song. Don’t get it twisted, though; as evidenced by the group’s first feature, an unreleased freestyle over the Puma n Sire-produced instrumental from Cam’ron & Vado‘s Speakin’ in Tungs, they have got lyrics. And – again, depending on your sense of humor – pretty damn good ones. If you’re a fan of absurd, polysyllabically-rhymed punchlines ( “You couldn’t see me like a shark’s lips / Everything I touch is Jefferson… Starship.”) and Gerard Depardieu namedrops, this just might be your joint. This freestyle isn’t attached to any forthcoming project, but those intrigued by Das Racist’s unhinged take on underground hip-hop can hear more on their Shut Up, Dude mixtape, available now online.

Several months ago I first heard of Das Racist. Their name alone made me wary of their material. I know I always talk about not judging a book by its cover - shame on me - but Das Racist? C'mon, this couldn't be good. Right? Well, upon first impression I was right. Their stuff made it seem as though rap was a giant joke to them. A disgrace to hip-hop? No. But certainly nothing I'd listen to again.
Then came along this freestyle, which I have to say is the dopest thing I've from the trip so far. Its funny, engaging, interesting, and certainly rewind-worthy. Not sure if I am a fan now, but this might help the sale. |

Not bad, but not that great either. It's an okay freestyle.

Blank stare. This is a little too left field for me. The first verse is nice, but then I get "lost" on the proverbial journey.

Its almost as if this beat was made for Das Racist's off the wall style. Im feeling this more than the OG by Cam and Vado. They also are pretty entertaining live.

Like Z, that Taco Bell/Pizza Hut song had me dismissing them as a hipster, and I can't say this has completely won me over, but it's impressed me enough to make we down to hear more of their ish before issuing a final verdict.

1. Original: We all know Cam'ron is street, but is musically versatile enough to handle anything (Check Mike Dreams' idea of ghostwriting for Cam-I could definitely see that over that beat)
2. That's the thing about these "hipsters"-before too long, we'll know they have true skill. We learned that about Asher Roth, we're learning that about Spose, and we'll learn that about Das Racist. |

The beat gets annoying. The voice in the background gets annoying after the first 30 secs. The wordplay is nice though.

For some reason, I'm extremely down with this. "Unhinged" is the right word to describe them,I just hope they keep doing this kind of work.

I sometimes like left field, and thus I'm feeling this ish -- I think it's funny but at the same time the flows are hot and the produx is suiting.
I will also go as far to co-sign Burmy - I think Tyga in some likes Kanye West (maybe this is a stretch -- but I said it) is also a good example of this. |

These "hipsters" definitely bring something different from your average... hasn't decided yet is that a good or a bad thing. 2.5
