Das Racist is an indie rap group with some Indian college grads are are 'funnie' and rap abt sillie stuff that appeals to high end white ppl, but they are also branded as being 'great at rapping.' Some how, they managed to 'finagle' the cover of SPIN Magazine. I am not sure if this means that they have 'crossed over' to the mainstream, or if SPIN Maggy is just 'trying really hard 2 be alt.'

One thing that we can confirm is that this is a 'huge win' for Das Racist as they compete with Odd Future to be the most relevant rap troupe in indie. While Odd Future might have an MTV VMA, the cover of SPIN might propel Das Racist to superstardom, eventually playing illustrious indie television shows like Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly.

Has Das Racist 'graduated from indie'?

With that in mind, to explore the rise of rap's most radically hilarious new firebrands Das Racist, we dispatched Hari Kondabolu (a formidable stand-up comedian in his own right and brother of group spiritual advisor/hypeman the Honorable Prophet Dapwell) to grill the trio on how jokes work as truthtelling, even when you title a song "Booty in the Air." As a sidebar, the group's Victor "KOOL A.D." Vazquez also drew 102 fake rappers with names like "Turnip God," "Lil Hater," "Kurfew," and "Yurple Man," which are worth the price of the issue alone.
