DAS RACIST




This Brooklyn rap duo is making waves with their sharp hip-hop parodies that tackle race issues in a "Harold and Kumar existentalism" fashion.

"They are responsible for the song 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell,' which deftly locates the fine line between stupid and clever, and snorts it. It consists, essentially, of two guys repeating the line "I'm at the Pizza Hut/I'm at the Taco Bell/I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" until it passes from grating to absurd to hilarious to poignant to transcendent. It is either very, very meaningful or completely meaningless. Put it on repeat while you think it over."
