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.
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.
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
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.
"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..."
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
no you're definitely alone on that one. I don't really fuck with their music aside from a few songs but they are clearly funny guys judging from this. heems gets complimented twice on his knowledge of the komogatu maru and both times responds with "fa sho..." how could you not find that funny
Haha, exactly. But I think that it was for legal reasons, so they couldn't play the beat. (Because of the whole EL-P beef) And yeah, they are, aire and vordul are back together, doing a gotham city tour. And no, this was last winter, it was their very, very, very first can ox reunion show here in Brooklyn. I witnessed history, nigga!
They did Jin dirty like I get what they’re saying but you have to look at the context like ALL his opponents ever did was make Asian jokes, he couldn’t really make black jokes (or at least it isn’t smart lmao) his only option was pretty much to make Asian jokes too but I agree it isn’t really a diss towards the person wearing them Lmao but if for the era they were in it’s not like most of the lines were that crazy it was more freestyle based and he was pretty good at that.

"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?
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
@@SanjeevRauallegedly. Real reason was heems being hooked on heroin at the time
2011-2012 was a wild time for hip hop.
They weren't joking, Chingy is actually smart as fuck lmao
I learned about Das Racist from this interview, then listened to all their stuff, and have finally come back
They look like they're thinking, "ugh, we had to wake up at 1 pm today".
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
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
weed + being really smart = Nardwuar's outdoing. They're just too damn smart and apathetic.
7:46 is such a great reaction from them. I don’t know the context but it gets me every time
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
"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
Himanshu chuckle of peace.
5:50 "Wow."
woow.
sample that.
Stephen Goebbelcocque I
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.
this is so rare you're a real one for making this happen nard
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.
Heems looks really puffy here.
conor mannering dude looks like he's coked out !!
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
I always thought it was so fire that they had a hypeman
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.
gonna look into this group because of this amazing interview
Well?
Awesome KMD reference!
I'm at the pizza hut
I'm at the taco bell
I'm at the combination pizza hut and taco bell
"I'm alive...! I'm alive...!"
"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..."
their music made my summer, shame they broke up SMH
dap is one of the smartest hypemen iver ever seen
Heems' laugh is adorable
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”
First time i've ever seen Dap and Kool AD so calm
these dudes had the world in their hands but dropped the ball harder than an anvil
i could smack em for breakin up
heems is so blazed in this interview
Affirmative action is soo good
Heems looks hungover in every single interview
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
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
can someone explain the fake das racist bit? still don't understand it to this DAY
search google for 'Fake Das Racist Twitter account'
i miss these fuggin dudes
They are so fucking stoned!
must be the longest end pose ever pulled off successfully
That's it, Egyptian Lover is in a shit ton of Nards interviews...i gotta peep this dude.
Wookie call ending is precious.
"I would say crafty, clever, and also smart"
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.
Anyone who says DR is only pretentiously smart, go listen to You Can Sell Anything. Haters, please!
Ok, Fashion Party makes a lot more sense now that I've heard "Boy Crisis"
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.
Super jelly that apparently Kool got a Digital Underground.
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.
people just love to singing to Nardwuar
"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
This and the OF interviews are the least awkward since both groups are "different"
Didn't know Aziz Ansari was part of Das Racist.
they’re definitely high in this
They were high on ketamine 24/7, now they some uncles lol
these dudes put on a good live show.. saw em at Fitzgeralds on tuesday
They lose their patience about 3 min in.
Paul Turbo they did?
Wish they had covered more around the South Asian samples in their music!
Duncan's Doughnuts is an amazing show.
Wow these guys are pretty knowledgable
They fact that they have a hipster fan base is referenced in every interview or article I've read about them
they need to get back together as soon as possible
Wonderful video
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...
5:09 yes dap, it is closer to 5th ave
2:36 I’ve never seen nardwuar give up a source
Man who dosent love Egyptian lover he gives his records out on almost every interview
@SeanChiruchi no he's asking them who the fake Das Racist is... it's apparently not Diplo.
yo...did you notice the freemason pin on heems?
Great interview, Nardwuar!
Nardwuar was pretty much born to interview groups like DR
1:25 Big up Mewa Singh(the Komagata Maru avenger)
Love the Swollen reference haha
no you're definitely alone on that one. I don't really fuck with their music aside from a few songs but they are clearly funny guys judging from this. heems gets complimented twice on his knowledge of the komogatu maru and both times responds with "fa sho..." how could you not find that funny
"you alright Nardwuar?"
Nardwuar Vs. Das Racist. It had to happen and I'm so glad it did!
Looks like he caught them pretty early in the morning
Dude. hes given KMD to like alot of people. Like joey badass, action bronson, now these dudes.
Haha, exactly. But I think that it was for legal reasons, so they couldn't play the beat. (Because of the whole EL-P beef) And yeah, they are, aire and vordul are back together, doing a gotham city tour. And no, this was last winter, it was their very, very, very first can ox reunion show here in Brooklyn. I witnessed history, nigga!
They're not only pretentiously smart, but Kool's got the attitude for the stigma.
They did Jin dirty like I get what they’re saying but you have to look at the context like ALL his opponents ever did was make Asian jokes, he couldn’t really make black jokes (or at least it isn’t smart lmao) his only option was pretty much to make Asian jokes too but I agree it isn’t really a diss towards the person wearing them Lmao but if for the era they were in it’s not like most of the lines were that crazy it was more freestyle based and he was pretty good at that.
hope you're feeling better Nardwuar
"You alright man?"
dat dude dap is the new nardwuar
daps freezing pose cracked me up man, shit
That's strange, I'm feeling the opposite of that.
these bros just got outta bed
LMAO " you gonna learn chinese" lmaooo smh he ethered Jin
FUCKING AMAZING.
They didn't play pigeon of scream phoenix, though. I'm still shocked about that.
Dap at 8:24 - all anyone needs to know about this band.
nardwuar goes crazy holding the microphone sometimes
Hard to tell who's trolling more in this interview.
