Aaaand we’re back!
Sorry for the supreme lack of postings last week, Solid State. I was away on vacation. And the week before that? Gearing up to go away on vacation, of course. Sweet, sweet vacation. Sigh …
Where was I? Oh right, vacation.
While on vacation, a good friend introduced me to a Brooklyn-based hip-hop trio called Das Racist and their new mixtape Shut Up, Dude, which you can download for free here. In short, it is pretty much my favorite thing since, well, at least before I went on vacation. It’s brutally funny and viciously smart. And despite the inclination of certain critics to dismiss DR as little more than a novelty, it’s genuinely good music to boot.
To illustrate my point, here’s their latest video for “Rainbow in the Dark.” Enjoy.
Got something to say?

That combination pizza hut and taco bell song was stuck in my head for days after I first heard it.
