Das Racist - Relax

[FakeLaser]

Listening for the first time right now. It's pretty good. Feel like they could definitely "blow up" from this. Dunno if anyone will ever take them seriously though. Dunno if they're supposed to be taken seriously.

Will have more on this after listening a couple times...

[RoXer]

I'll listen tomorrow

[Buzzkill]

Listening through this now. I feel like Victor isn't that good of a rapper. Dunno

Really liking the production tho so far

[Buzzkill]

What @ Rainbow in the Dark.

Didn't even change anything in the song

[FakeLaser]

yeah dunno

hot song but come on

[FakeLaser]

excited for Nehru Jackets (Heems solo mixtape)

I keep listening to this but then doing other stuff so not listening to the lyrics too much. Which is what I need to do because so much of what Das Racist is is the lyrics and ridiculous references.

Dunno. The mix tapes legit jumped out and grabbed me and were like LISTEN TO THIS. This isn't. Feel like you couldn't even ignore the lyrics in the mix tapes. Here they're more muted and there's way more of an emphasis on production. Way more of a passive listen. I think the production has vastly improved, unquestionably, though that's to be expected on a full length.

I think the beats and whatnot are enough to garner some mainstream attention but the lyrical content might just alienate a lot of people.

I guess Odd Future is catching on big time though, so maybe people are becoming more open to innovation in rap. Shock-value scatological rape seems to have broader appeal than DR's whole top-tier liberal arts college educated minority vibe though. They joke around enough to not take themselves seriously but a lot of people are gonna just seem them as douchy hipsters from NYC/Wesleyan University.

[Buzzkill]

Yeah I'm "with you all the way" on that one. Seems like they exhausted all of their punchlines on Sit Down Man.

I still like it tho, but haven't given it a thorough listen.

[Buzzkill]

Happy Rappy is prob my fav

[FakeLaser]

Liking Shut Up Man

[FakeLaser]

Totally just vultured a RT out of Heems again

[Buzzkill]

PimpRadio Pete
by HEEMS
alright can officially say @dasracist Relax is absolutely filthy now, production is off the fucking charts @HEEMS @veeveeveeveevee @dapwell


you dirty dog

[Buzzkill]

Pimpradio Pete

[FakeLaser]

Heems is genuinely a cool dude from what I have seen. He responds to all his fans tweets and RTs them and shit. He was mad chill when I met him too, more so than most musicians I have met. Didn't make it seem like I was annoying him that I was talking to him and took a few minutes to talk about his new album and shit too.

[Buzzkill]

Seems like a pretty jolly guy all around. Would like to be friends with him

[FakeLaser]

lol dunno why "pretty jolly guy" is killing me right now

[RoXer]

First play through was okay. Lotta songs gave me a headache. Will post more later.

Das Racist coming to indianapolis october 17th

Doing it hard!

[Buzzkill]

Can't help but feel kinda disappointed. I don't think theres a single verse on there that tops what they did on Sit Down Man.

[FakeLaser]

Going to see them @ 8 PM @ Bowery nukka

[RoXer]

Relax - Best song on the album maybe, smart to open with it. Beat's not annoying, lyrics are good.
Michael Jackson - Don't like it. Heems has a different "style" though which kinda works.
Brand New Dance - I don't get it :-\
Middle of the Cake - Good one. Good hook, good beat, all of it.
Girl - Another one that makes me go :-\ except for Heems's part.
Shut Up, Man - I lied, this is the best on here. Damn.
Happy Rappy - Not bad, might need to listen to it a few times.
Booty in the Air - Coochie Dip City pt II? Don't like it.
Power - Best song on here except for whoever the fuck Danny Brown is, his shit makes no sense and ruins the song. Love Heems's part, again.
Punjabi Song - Not bad, beat gives me a headache.
Selena - Not bad, not my favorite. Beat gives me a headache.
Rainbow in the Dark - what?
The Trick - :-\
Celebration - :-\


No Dap? Is he just doing the beats?

[Buzzkill]

Dap is their hype man, never really gets on the mic except for at shows

[RoXer]

Thought he had a hand with the beats too

[Buzzkill]

Yeah pretty sure he does some production too, but DR only produced a few tracks on the album.

[Buzzkill]

See me next to sushi sexually

[FakeLaser]

Shut Up, Man is my favorite too

They were pretty ill last night. Feel like they're "taking this all more seriously" now. I mean they were still fucking around and whatnot but definitely was a more "focused" performance.

[GD]

Who Dat Brown!

[Buzzkill]

Yeah I like Shut Up, Man...lots of MF Doomy non sequiturs...dunno, not a huge fan yet tho for some reason

[RoXer]

Wish Victor would keep going on Selena

[FakeLaser]

Dunno where my motivation has been to listen to this

[FakeLaser]

Sit Down Man (the mixtape) is essential listening for you, Guru Dave

[GD]

[RoXer]

[kristenufclee]

REally hot song!!!

[Buzzkill]

[GD]

Fuckers!

[Buzzkill]

Finally coming around on this. Like Selena a lot

[FakeLaser]

I've wavered into thinking this is just "ok" again

There's a couple of really good tracks but a lot of crap

[Buzzkill]

I've come from "pretty crap" to "pretty ok actually"
