Das Racist – “I’m Up On That” feat. Homeboy Sandman (Audio + Download)
This is what I call fun rap without the schtick. Brooklyn-based rap group, Das Racist are Queens, New York-born Hiramsu Suri, San Francisco-born Victor Vazquez, and hypeman Ashok Kondabolo a.k.a Dap. They hit the scene in 2008 with their single “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” and garnered a lot of attention. By March 2010, their debut mixtape Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man was released and received great reviews, and six months later, their second mixtape Sit Down, Man hit to even more critical acclaim.
Coke Machine Glow online magazine summed them up perfectly by saying Das Racist, “attempt to write an impossibly new blueprint for rap: funny without trying to impress; proficient without having anything to prove; relevant without taking any particular scene seriously; imbued with a soulful sense of place—urban, disaffected, ethnic—but more interested in how that serves as fodder for jokes than in any big grab for meaning.” Perfectly put!
Here, they come together in a perfect union with Homeboy Sandman for “I’m Up On That“. What’s so uncanny about the tune, is that it sounds as though they’ve been working together since birth, where each emcee follows their formula of unlikely lyrical pairings—it works seamlessly! And it’s hella fun too! Check out the tune below and oblige in a free download, in courtesy of Pitchfork.
