Nardwuar is like the director of music intelligence. He always hits his guests up with shit that freaks them out. "how did you know that?" LOL. Keep on rocking Nardwuar.
Haha Dap's baby impression in the end fucking cracks me up. I actually watched this entire interview again, forgetting I'd once seen it stoned, but that stuck out so much and I lost it.
i like how they are just being themselves and don't have to wear bling and act all cool like the other rappers... i gotta lot of respect for things guys
Dapwell was fine, Heems was hilarious, only Kool AD really sent off any negative vibe in my opinion. As for their music, I really think people took it waaay too seriously, fans and critics alike. They were just dudes with great flows, weird personas and occasionally insightful lyrics. The only reason so many people saw them as more than a rap trio/duo was because they made so many pop culture references that anyone could try to interpret their incoherence.
"So what's the significance of ____...!" "the f train...?" "In an interview you saaaiiidd ____!" "I don't really remember that mayne..." "Aaaand what about ____??" "I don't know what that is man..."
This interview is awesome. Now I've got like 4 tabs open and a ton of stuff to listed to this weekend. Broke up or not, I'll buy what these guys are selling together or separately.
lol I admire your co-opt of traditional segregation into street culture but I'd counter that hood is more about lifestyle than pedigree. not sure if he claims to be hood but guy sleeps on his team's couch stoned making rap music in a shitty neighborhood..that's fairly hood if u ask me.
Took the words out of my mouth, man. Yeah by negativity I mean he's not on the same page with Nard, not negativity per se. Agree on the beats, some of the best I've ever heard, from Shut Up Dude to Relax. However I don't think they attract pretentious people, but rather they bring the pretention out in people somehow, kinda like how Lil B manages to get kids to think he's a lyricist just by spouting a bunch of names they know on a lazy repetitive flow.
I don't think there was any negativity within the group, Heems and Kool A.D. just got tired of each other, it happens. You could always tell it was Dapwell and Heems who were the closest in the group, they're both Indian and knew each other first.
All these rap guys that Nardwuar interviews like Egyptian Lover. I used to listen to that in the 80's a little, never heard anyone ever mention him/them...
That was pretty dumb of nardwuar to go “shorty said I look likeeee” like he said that’s literally how they start like every line of that song how was he supposed to know which line he was talking about lmao
They missed two lyircs. In one song, "puerto rican cousins", every line starts with 'shawty said I look like...' and that's all that nardwuar said. The other line was from "ek shaneesh" and once again, there many lines in a row that being with 'listening to...'. If there's one band that knows music, its the hyper referential Das Racist.
"i think it's amazing that you know the story of the komagota maru, heems"
"fashooo"
Heems is hilarious
lol
Kool A.D should be headlining hip hop festivals.
hehe
"Survivor and Batman" Is that Kool AD"s new band but he changed his name to Batman?
They weren't joking, Chingy is actually smart as fuck lmao
2011-2012 was a wild time for hip hop.
Das Racist is dope af wish they would come back. Stopped to early imo. shit happens tho. We love you guys !
Didn't Kool AD like assault someone
They look like they're thinking, "ugh, we had to wake up at 1 pm today".
I learned about Das Racist from this interview, then listened to all their stuff, and have finally come back
Imagine these guys came out this generation. I am surprised one of their songs didn't resurface on TikTok yet
oh god don’t even speak that into the ether…
they're whole "pizza hut taco bell" song came up
"you could say chingy wrote the book on the komagata maru" hahaha
weed + being really smart = Nardwuar's outdoing. They're just too damn smart and apathetic.
One of the few times ppl joined in on Narwuar's awkward post-interview pose.
Danny Brown did it
The Mars Volta started talking into the frozen held-out mike, thanking their fans etc
The dude on the left has the dopest sweater I've ever seen in my life. Next level cardigan swag.
That thing about Chingy was fricking hilarious
7:46 is such a great reaction from them. I don’t know the context but it gets me every time
"yo man how'd you get my 4th grade teacher to come fuck with me again" lmaoooo
I love how knowledgeable these guys are. Crafty, clever, & in the knowing
Nardwuar is like the director of music intelligence. He always hits his guests up with shit that freaks them out. "how did you know that?" LOL. Keep on rocking Nardwuar.
I miss these guys and their music so much!!
I literally watch this every time I see it on the sidebar, one of my fav nard interviews lol
5:50 "Wow."
woow.
sample that.
Stephen Goebbelcocque I
"I would say crafty, clever, and also smart."
I'm at the pizza hut
I'm at the taco bell
I'm at the combination pizza hut and taco bell
Himanshu chuckle of peace.
Heems looks really puffy here.
conor mannering dude looks like he's coked out !!
Haha Dap's baby impression in the end fucking cracks me up. I actually watched this entire interview again, forgetting I'd once seen it stoned, but that stuck out so much and I lost it.
Nardwuar is the Huell Howser of music to me
i like how they are just being themselves and don't have to wear bling and act all cool like the other rappers... i gotta lot of respect for things guys
their music made my summer, shame they broke up SMH
Awesome KMD reference!
gonna look into this group because of this amazing interview
Well?
Dapwell was fine, Heems was hilarious, only Kool AD really sent off any negative vibe in my opinion. As for their music, I really think people took it waaay too seriously, fans and critics alike. They were just dudes with great flows, weird personas and occasionally insightful lyrics.

Heems' laugh is adorable
Affirmative action is soo good
First time i've ever seen Dap and Kool AD so calm
"So what's the significance of ____...!"
"the f train...?"
"In an interview you saaaiiidd ____!"
"I don't really remember that mayne..."
"Aaaand what about ____??"
"I don't know what that is man..."
This interview is awesome. Now I've got like 4 tabs open and a ton of stuff to listed to this weekend. Broke up or not, I'll buy what these guys are selling together or separately.
dap is one of the smartest hypemen iver ever seen
heems is so blazed in this interview
this is so rare you're a real one for making this happen nard
I always thought it was so fire that they had a hypeman
can someone explain the fake das racist bit? still don't understand it to this DAY
search google for 'Fake Das Racist Twitter account'
They... they pwned Nardwuar! Not even OFWGKTA could pull that off! They just kinda chill past all his crazy research and eccentricity. What ballers
i miss these fuggin dudes
They are so fucking stoned!
Bro, Heems is straight Brahmin. You can't be hood unless your Dalit.
lol I admire your co-opt of traditional segregation into street culture but I'd counter that hood is more about lifestyle than pedigree. not sure if he claims to be hood but guy sleeps on his team's couch stoned making rap music in a shitty neighborhood..that's fairly hood if u ask me.
Your mom can't be hood unless she's Dalit
Heems looks hungover in every single interview
Wookie call ending is precious.
"I'm alive...! I'm alive...!"
"ask your girl, i must of been doin somethin at her house, probably cuz i had my eggrolls and my dumplings in her mouth"-Jin @ 106 & Park rap battle
Anyone who says DR is only pretentiously smart, go listen to You Can Sell Anything. Haters, please!
these dudes put on a good live show.. saw em at Fitzgeralds on tuesday
Duncan's Doughnuts is an amazing show.
Ok, Fashion Party makes a lot more sense now that I've heard "Boy Crisis"
Yoooo heems knew jins most famous line, “you wanna say I’m Chinese sonny, here’s a reminder, check your timbs they say made in China”
Took the words out of my mouth, man. Yeah by negativity I mean he's not on the same page with Nard, not negativity per se. Agree on the beats, some of the best I've ever heard, from Shut Up Dude to Relax.

"Who's the faaak Das Racist?"
I love their reaction. xD
people just love to singing to Nardwuar
they’re definitely high in this
They were high on ketamine 24/7, now they some uncles lol
"I would say crafty, clever, and also smart"
That's it, Egyptian Lover is in a shit ton of Nards interviews...i gotta peep this dude.
yo...did you notice the freemason pin on heems?
still sad
lol after 8:35 perhaps the most informative segment of the interview.
They lose their patience about 3 min in.
Paul Turbo they did?
dat dude dap is the new nardwuar
Wish they had covered more around the South Asian samples in their music!
Love the Swollen reference haha
Hi i'm a babyyyy
Wow these guys are pretty knowledgable
he was wearing long johns lol
I don't think there was any negativity within the group, Heems and Kool A.D. just got tired of each other, it happens. You could always tell it was Dapwell and Heems who were the closest in the group, they're both Indian and knew each other first.
1:40 'i would say crafty, clever. also smart.'
All these rap guys that Nardwuar interviews like Egyptian Lover. I used to listen to that in the 80's a little, never heard anyone ever mention him/them...
lmao ending was the best!
Super jelly that apparently Kool got a Digital Underground.
must be the longest end pose ever pulled off successfully
That was pretty dumb of nardwuar to go “shorty said I look likeeee” like he said that’s literally how they start like every line of that song how was he supposed to know which line he was talking about lmao
daps freezing pose cracked me up man, shit
4:18 "are you guys stoned?"
Nardwuar is like the Terry Gross of cool shit
Man I miss these guys.
they need to get back together as soon as possible
Dude. hes given KMD to like alot of people. Like joey badass, action bronson, now these dudes.
This and the OF interviews are the least awkward since both groups are "different"
I miss these guys 🤣
Man who dosent love Egyptian lover he gives his records out on almost every interview
does anyone know what he was talking about when he said "fake das racist"????
That's strange, I'm feeling the opposite of that.
They start getting nervous at 6:00
@SeanChiruchi no he's asking them who the fake Das Racist is... it's apparently not Diplo.
They fact that they have a hipster fan base is referenced in every interview or article I've read about them
Great interview, Nardwuar!
Heems was the star of this interview
They're not only pretentiously smart, but Kool's got the attitude for the stigma.
LMAO " you gonna learn chinese" lmaooo smh he ethered Jin
5:51 Goddamn, Heems must be blazed as fuck.
shouts to del. tight name dude
wow these guys are super hipster
They missed two lyircs. In one song, "puerto rican cousins", every line starts with 'shawty said I look like...' and that's all that nardwuar said. The other line was from "ek shaneesh" and once again, there many lines in a row that being with 'listening to...'. If there's one band that knows music, its the hyper referential Das Racist.
these bros just got outta bed
Dap at 8:24 - all anyone needs to know about this band.
