Common card · No. 235803

Das Racist was an American alternative hip-hop group based in Brooklyn, composed of MCs Heems and Kool A.D. and hype man Ashok Kondabolu (a.k.a. Dapwell or Dap). Known for their use of humor, academic references, foreign allusions, and unconventional style, Das Racist was widely hailed as an urgent new voice in rap, after occasionally being misunderstood as joke rap when they first appeared. After rising to Internet fame with their 2008 song "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," Das Racist established themselves as rappers with the release of their 2010 mixtapes Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man. Spin picked Das Racist as one of fifty acts to watch at the 2010 SXSW festival, and in April 2010, MTV Iggy selected Das Racist as one of the "25 Best New Bands in the World". Rolling Stone declared the song "Hahahaha jk?" from Sit Down, Man one of the fifty best singles of 2010. In September 2011, Das Racist released their only studio album, Relax, which was named in many year-end "best of" lists...
