"SAWING THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIP-HOP AS THEY CELEBRATE IT." - NEW YORK MAGAZINE //////////////// "BUT THEIR SLOPPINESS IS A MASK FOR DETAILED, AFFECTIONATE HIP-HOP PARODY, NAME-DROPPING KRS-ONE AND ASHER ROTH AS EASILY AS W.E.B. DU BOIS AND THE LITERARY CRITIC GAYATRI CHAKRAVORTY SPIVAK. THEIR ACT IS A BLEND THAT INSPIRES QUESTIONS LIKE THIS ONE IN A RECENT INTERVIEW IN THE VILLAGE VOICE: 'IS THIS A JOKE THAT EVERYONE THINKS IS A GRADUATE THESIS, OR VICE VERSA?' ... DAS RACIST'S LACK OF PIETY HAS BECOME AN AESTHETIC OF ITS OWN, WITH SONGS THAT ARE AS MUCH COMMENTARY ON HIP-HOP AS RIGOROUS PRACTICE OF IT." + "DAS RACIST'S RHYMES ARE SMART AND FUNNY AND DELIVERED WITH A LAZY LOQUACIOUSNESS THAT'S INSTANTLY APPEALING." - NEW YORK TIMES ///////////////// "THE ANSWERS LIE IN THE INTERSTICES: THE BANTER BETWEEN SONGS, THE WAY KOOL A.D. AND HIMANSHU EMBRACE EACH OTHER WHILE THEY RAP, THE CROWDS VACILLATING BETWEEN DANCING AND LAUGHING." - Decider ////////////////// "DAS RACIST ARE A BROOKLYN/SAN FRANCISCO "ZIP HOP" DUO WHO RAP ABOUT STUFF LIKE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS AND HUGO CHAVEZ OVER HYPHY BEATS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE COOKED UP IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES ON A THRIFT-STORE CASIO. WHICH IS TO SAY: THEY'RE PRETTY AMAZING." - MTV ////////////////// "'PIZZA HUT' IS EITHER THE TRACK WE, AS A CULTURE, NEED RIGHT NOW, OR THE TRACK WE, AS A CULTURE, DESERVE - OR BOTH." - VILLAGE VOICE ////////////////// "(COMBINATION PIZZA HUT AND TACO BELL) WILL CLOBBER YOU OVER THE HEAD AND BEAT YOU INTO SUBMISSION UNTIL YOU LIKE IT TOO!" - PEREZ HILTON ////////////////// "'COMBINATION' IS THE SORT OF DECEPTIVELY IDIOTIC SONG THAT WILL EITHER INSPIRE REPEATED LISTENINGS OR YOU THROWING WHATEVER IS PLAYING THE MUSIC ACROSS THE ROOM." - IDOLATOR ////////////////// BAND OF THE MONTH - June 2009 - DELI MAGAZINE ////////////////// "COMBINATION" RETAINS ITS INNER CHEECH AND CHONG AND STILL SEEMS LEAGUES SMARTER FOR IT. SURE, IT'S A ONE-IDEA TRACK, BUT THAT IDEA SOMEHOW BECOMES MORE ENDEARING AS IT ROLLS ON, AND IN THE END THIS IS THE SONG YOU'LL HEAR THAT YOU'RE MOST LIKELY TO IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND AND WANT TO SHARE WITH SOMEONE, GOOD OR BAD. AFTER A DOZEN LISTENS LAST WEEK, I'M STILL SIDING WITH GOOD." - PITCHFORK MUSIC, 8/10 : BEST NEW MUSIC /////////////////// "THESE DUDES ARE THE FUTURE OF THE RAP GAME" - DALLAS PENN //////////// "AN EXISTENTIAL MEDITATION ON CONSUMER IDENTITY IN CORPORATE AMERICA.... ITS BOTH FEVERISHLY JUVENILE AND SOMEHOW PROFOUND." - DEATH + TAXES //////////////////// “I SUSPECT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE AT THE NEW YORKER TRIES TO POSIT LINES LIKE "WHEN I SAY CALL, YOU SAY RESPONSE" AS SOME SORT OF SEMIOTIC DECONSTRUCTION OF THE CONVENTIONAL ELEMENTS OF HIP-HOP, AND I'D LIKE TO CALL THAT PERSON OUT IN ADVANCE IF POSSIBLE. DAS RACIST IS TO BE TAKEN WITH A SMIRK ON ONE'S FACE AND BOTH HANDS IN THE AIR." - NEW YORK PRESS /////////////////// "[COMBINATION PIZZA HUT AND TACO BELL IS] A TRACK THAT WILL LAST THE AGES." - DAN DEACON IN XLR8R //////////////// "...TOGETHER THE GUYS MAKE MUSIC THAT'S EQUAL PARTS HIP-HOP AND CHEECH & CHONG. NO, CHECK THAT. THEY HAVE A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR, YES, BUT THEIR MUSIC IS NO NOVELTY ACT." - PLAYBOY.COM
