DUDE! 100%. Breaking up was the dumbest thing for them to do. They had to shelf a pretty much finished album and set back their careers because they were going to be the next big thing. Like, RTJ before RTJ hit.
man I feel old. times flies. I rem seeing this trending on the frontpage of youtube back when I was like 11-12 yos. I'm now 24. crazy lmao. felt like yesterday I was binging these dudes music.
the "Whos that? Brooown!" sample is from Scenario by A Tribe Called Quest. they also make references to it. like "chickity choco the choclate chicken" is from that song. and 2:28 references a part to...
Hell yeah, some of my all-time favorite games from the 80's are here: Elevator Action, Frogger, Leisure Suit Larry, Double Dragon, Zelda, Rampage, and Tetris. That was the golden age of video games for sure!
I'm always finding another layer of nuance to Das Racist songs, even though I've been listening to them on/off for years. And with Kool A.D. and Heems still going at it with their own stuff I'm sure I'll get to keep finding more nuances to those songs for years to come too. That's a sign of true artists if you ask me.
The subliminal message here is how the gaming crowd is getting put in with the hip hop and rap crowds, we are bad for the youth. Awesome song and awesome video, takes me way back to the days i was introduced to both, nothing beat those 8-bit days
No matter what Das Racist does from here on out they will forever be gamer legends with this homage to the 16/32 bit era. Well played, surprised I never saw a video like this made before since commercials have been doing these kind of parodies for years.
this video is the gameplay of videogame from their site. it is on a 3 minute timer. this makes it hard for the 1st time player to win. the instructions and dialogue do not stop the timer. the controls change for each stage, so taking the time to learn how to play may cause the counter to expire.
This one is from their mix tape, I believe. And the mix tape had a bunch of unlicensed samples on it, so I think it didn't go on Spotify for that reason.
For sure! This Friday I’ll have been married 10 years, I’ve got 2 awesome kids, a solid career that also got us through COVID, and I’m definitely not as dumb as I used to be.
@@LombardoJoe Congrats! Time does fly doesn't it. Wonder where I'll be 10 years from now. Your 2 kids must be proud that their daddy is open minded to different kinds of music, art, and expression.
@autodidactic Sorry... my bad... you are right it's on Tribe's song "Scenario" but it's Charlie Brown from L.O.N.S. saying the actual line. (no worries haha I am an old man)
man, das racist was so cool back in the 10's, I really wish they was still together :(
me too....
Way happen?
Too much racism couldn't hold it together.....
They still are some got family now not kids anymore God bless them

Sadly, this comment has not aged well.
@@SamSchillingwhat happened? Please enlighten me
the 7 train is filled with gentrifying yuppies (a.k.a. our fan base)
I only listen to rappers who would be disappointed that people like me listen to them
I try to let other cultures be whatever they are. Anti-gentrification, but I'm white as the day is long.
@@kindle9597 damn I hate how true that is for me
bring this game back
This is the best film clip ever.
The subliminal message here is how the gaming crowd is getting put in with the hip hop and rap crowds, we are bad for the youth. Awesome song and awesome video, takes me way back to the days i was introduced to both, nothing beat those 8-bit days
my brother's been listening to this song all holiday. it is stuck in my head.
Do you still listen to it? Is it still stuck in your head?
@the man 1 Do you reckon Hannah Hannah passed away?
This is playing at the Milwaukee Film Festival. So stoked.
why isnt this song on gta 5
It's political I guess
Why didn’t any anti-Illuminati DR song end up on the Illuminati-run mainstream radio stations? That’s more what I wonder 🤔
I'm very glad that this video is available in high definition. Thank you for that.
The level of HD has increased since 10 years ago. 720p was good back then.
Man im 26 in 5 days used to listen to this when i was like 13.
and I'm 46 in about 165 days and I've been listening to them since 2012
@@boxofjosh Hell yeah
Das Racist and Danny Brown should do another collabo and remix this song
This mix has a ton of static that sneaks in, especially near 3:00
i dig all the old school video game shout outs.
i love how this is sampled from a tribe called quest. too fucking awesome
Actually it’s leaders of the new school featured on a tribe song... thanks for listening
One of the best songs and video in the history of everything

so legendary
@bluedog92929 I think the fact that they made an accompanying game to the actual music video for listeners to interact with is pretty revolutionary.
love the nod to the golden era of adventure games.
police quest for life.
king's quest for life.
space quest for life.
I miss hanging with you boys .. the underground storyline would be left too
I love these days
Just realized the hat at 1:45 is the same fitted I've got hanging up.
Do you still have it hanging up?
@RabidLeper im disappointed there's no 1080 :(
The background at 3:08 was from the '87 Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards game. I love Das Racist.
I am completely in love with the fact that someone ripped Abobo's sprite from Double Dragon for NES and transformed him into a guido for this video.
Why all the hate? Das Racist is great! Do you just not like rap? If that's the case, what are you doing watching the video?
I found either signing in and out or clearing your browsing history helps with the black screen problem.
this is one of the best vids evar. DAS RACIST quest

Never noticed how the very top end of this mix until now. Has some crazy snaps. I think the main bass synth could have been made with NI Massive too.
This video is #$@%$# DOPE!!!
Props to 8-bit.
Do you still think its dope?
@@awrjkf hell yea! Forgot all about this.
@SeanChiruchi Unix Shell. Wikipedia it. If you have a mac, it's what you access when you open terminal.
@agurf2 Correction: ATCQ featuring Leaders of the New School. C Boogie Brown from Leaders spit that line
Audio does not agree with my speakers. Other youtube videos of this song sound fine.
+Reebokanonymous Ditto! Getting a bunch of popping after 0:20 and I swear this very video didn't do that before.
AnxiousGary I have a theory that the longer a video is on RUclips the more fragmented it gets.... i.e. lossy audio or choppy video
hurts my ears when wearing ear phones.
Produced by Saba???? Like the rapper Saba currently?
They played this on th projectors at Bumbershoot Seattl three days ago and it seemed differant, and better. The bass on those speakers was hella hard!
@DJEvillincoln should they eat the whole bag? or each one individually?
here we go yo so what so whats sowhats the scenario
I was listening to that song before this one.
@meshzzizk I'm thinking computer speakers can't handle low range of bass. I hear the same thing on my laptop
@Hitamaru i caught it in shorty said, with the electric relaxation lyrics
Whats the music bit at the end? I don't recognize it from their mixtapes
make the song longer, this shit is too hard.
bryan and mi ami made this band from the future I SWEAR
how can i get this song on my ipod?
Best music video ever.
Thanks! The song is actually called Rainbow in the Dark, it appears, but I found it anyway.
SONG during credits ???? THX
i want this song but its not on itunes or frostwire :(
i didnt even realize Saba made this beat and now i bump his shit all the time lol
@rmazing how did you get it to work
I miss these guys
dope
YES!!! 2:09 is straight outta the Temple of Doom Video Game!
@KillYoFam97 how did you get it to work
what is beat/song in the credits?
So awesome that the game is playable.
why isn't this on spotify?
This one is from their mix tape, I believe. And the mix tape had a bunch of unlicensed samples on it, so I think it didn't go on Spotify for that reason.
@@RojayBimpson it’s on spotify now
where can i get this game!
What is that beat that starts at 3:40? The Dilla sirens are sick
@meshzzizk maybe it's because youtube audio is garbage 128kb/s or worse. They should have uploaded to vimeo
link to the rainbows in the dark instrumental at the end?
@c0d7y use a youtube to mp3 converter :o
I've never heard of you guys before, and I'm not sure how this ended up in my recc
Is it still in your recc?
LMAO this was 10 years ago. I don’t think so, I forgot all about it.
@@LombardoJoe Would you say in the past 10 years you have become more mature, loving, kind, and happy?
For sure! This Friday I’ll have been married 10 years, I’ve got 2 awesome kids, a solid career that also got us through COVID, and I’m definitely not as dumb as I used to be.
@@LombardoJoe Congrats! Time does fly doesn't it. Wonder where I'll be 10 years from now. Your 2 kids must be proud that their daddy is open minded to different kinds of music, art, and expression.
"Inspired by the work of Ken and Roberta Williams". SO AWESOME.
Does anyone know what the music at the end in the credits is?
This is the best song I've ever heard. Ever.
Why does this have so many dislikes? It's one of their best songs and the video is just as good.
Why are so many commenters upset by this video?! It's hilarious, and a fairly clever concept. I guess we can look to the 958 likes VS 128 dislikes?
Rainbow in the Dark - Das Racist another great song by them
AWESOME!
what's the track at the end?
I probably only payed attention to 1/3 of this song, bc I was soo into the video narrative
This is dope!
@cjclause1oo It was doing that to me until about five minutes ago. Are you using Chrome?
"WHO'S THAT? BROWN AND YELLOW
BROWN AND YELLOW
BROWN AND YELLOW"
REEEEMIXXX!!!
Hey bro whatsup. I am from 10 years in the future. Do you still listen to this song?
What's the song at the credits?
why do i like this so much?!
YES! 2:09 is straight outta the Temple of Doom arcade game!
LOVE !
@hobodivine I could have sworn it was from A Tribe Called Quest's Scenario. Then again, I'm an old lady, that's how I first heard it.
THAT"S AWESOME!! I like the old Sierra game references! Especially Leisure suit larry!
is that the chick on the vampire weekend album cover at 1:13?
@xXSlyFoxHoundXx is that where the whole joke originated from?
i want to play this
elevator action double dragon Lyricism & TurntabLism...fresh!!!
Where is the game! I want to play it!
Why do so many people dislike this awesome song and video? Not tryin to start %^$&, serious question.
@autodidactic Sorry... my bad... you are right it's on Tribe's song "Scenario" but it's Charlie Brown from L.O.N.S. saying the actual line.
(no worries haha I am an old man)
"downtown like julie"
damn
Produced by Sabzi, AKA the dj in Blue Scholars and Common Market
@autodidactic Do you mean "Who's that?! Brooooown" ? That's actually Leaders Of the New School
I couldnt stop listening to this.. i wanted to change songs.. but I couldnt..
I definitely just got so caught up in the video I didnt listen nothing but the word "brown this whole time"
@DudeFromThe206 i know eh. actually really surprised me.
@AmpluexCompressa I keep wondering the same thing...
I wonder how many people watching this are old enough to get the reference of the style these graphics are done in.
