DAS RACIST and the annual indie fuxxor electronic novelty hit

sorry if this is too @hipsterrunoff or whatev, but...

So like every year we're pretty much gonna get one electronic novelty hit that crosses over to bloggos as hot jam/reference/joke/meme because it's a catchy beat with someone saying something dumb/silly/filthy/wacky over and over and over and over and over again.

How do we feel about DAS RACIST? What can you add to this list?

1997: DJ Assault - "Ass 'N Titties"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTI2xX5ttkQ

2001: Detroit Grand Poobahs - "Sandwiches"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHfHs2qpaSM

2007: dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip - "Thou Shalt Always Kill"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4

2008 LeLe - "Breakfast"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zfbDHipG8

2009: Das Racist - "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ8ViYIeH04

at least it isn't a taco bell / long john silver's. those are the worst.

das racist is like "lazy sunday '09"

i think this song is dope + funny

i was gonna say - if this was a 'digital short' it would be canonized w/ "lazy sunday" and "dick in a box"

Pizza Hut is changing their name, so this shit is gonna be a relic by next year

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Extra/pizza-hut-changes-its-name.aspx?GT1=33009

i think these things were definitely annual at some point, but around 2007 they became monthly. and will probably be weekly by the end of '09.

lotsa blogs missed the boat with the original "pizza hut/taco bell" so they're furiously trying to pass off like 20 remixes as "superior" versions. wtf internet.

1994: Sagat - "Why Is It? (Funk / Fuk Dat)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGSAOPWSleg

otm

wallpaper. remix is better btw

xpost
i never knew there was a dirty version! wow!

wallpaper. remix is better btw

Man, Funk Dat

it sounds like the same song anyway tbh

no doubt Sagat was a novelty hit but i dunno doesn't seem indie fuxxor enough for this thread. shit got played on MTV and rap stations.

for all i know Sagat still lives in Baltimore, btw, it's one of my on-again-off-again goals to track him down for an interview one of these days.

xpost
yeah, but alternageeks at the time quasi-irono-referenced it in the same way, so I think it applies, even if only as a forebear

indie fuxxors were a different breed in 1994

yeah but i dunno..i heard "lucas with the lid off" and "cantaloop" on alt-rock stations at the time, not so much "funk dat," so it feels like somehow of a different breed.

this is not about radio play, it's about embracing a novelty electronic song in a slightly ironic wacky way, which applies to both Doc Martin hipsters in 94 re sagat and keffiyah kidz in 09 re wacky fast food song

i don't know if you're 15 or something like the rest of the autogoon cru or whatever, but flannel dudes at my school were def doing the "maaaan... funk dat" thing for about 6 weeks.

what about "genie in a bottle" + "hard to explain" - certainly that was "a novelty electronic song" that was embraced in a "slightly ironic wacky way"

xpost: yes. to me that's what makes it fit this mold better. it was referencing the "other".

i dont think anyone irl outside of ppl who live in brooklyn know about "combination pizza hut and taco bell" - people are still shouting "I'M ON A BOAT" tbh

xxpost

pedantic jordan s. missing the fuckin point is becoming a monthly occurance too.

I don't remember anyone embracing genie in a bottle, but I wasn't hanging around too many ironical dudes at the time

1st ironical embrace of genie I can remember is the strokes mashup

i dont think anyone irl outside of ppl who live in brooklyn know about "combination pizza hut and taco bell" - people are still shouting "I'M ON A BOAT" tbh

i'd love to be all BUT PEOPLE IN KANSAS CAN READ BLAWGZ, but you're probably right. consider this thread a prediction of pizza song's oncoming cult status.

whatever man - i dont know any of these songs - yall can talk about 1994 i was 6 yrs old \(o_O)/

internet people def know about this esp since it got reviewed on pitchfork but if people at your college were going around referencing "funk dat" for 6 months i can guarantee that people at my college are not sending me texts that say "i'm at the pizza hut!!" and we went to comparable colleges size/city wise

llbean back pack full of cassingles slung over one shoulder, mang

I think maybe I wouldn't have to go on screaming rampages about my shitty job prospects at Twitter conferences if I spent more time looking for work and less time having 2 a.m. chat sessions with people that used to watch Eureeka's Castle.

tbh the annual indie fuxxor electornic novelty hit of 09 is that 3OH!3 song

3OH3 is mainstream fuxxor iirc

i mean people who are going to women/men/boys/girls warehouse shows probably aren't fucking with 3OH!3 but people who are vampire weekend/decemberists/broken social scene "mainstream" indie fuck with that song as far as i can tell

i thought only Bamboozle Fest Fall Out Bros with the big text T-shirts listened to that shit, and no one who actually listened to, like, any indie band that stereogum would cover

I've been meaning to make a shipley-style Idolator post where I categorize the 30 types of hipster so we stop just calling all these disparate groups "hipsters"

im basing that post on small anecdotal evidence but it's not thaaaaat far of a bridge from "discovering" justice to "liking" a 30H!3 song if you listen to stereogum bands

im sure lots of it is "this pop song is so bad it's good!!" or whatever but still

I was under the impression that 3ought!3 is more of a nu-hot topic band. Like maybe there are some people that like them and justice and vampire collective or whatever but they are just the people that list a bunch of new bands + Johnie Cash (sic) on their social profiles.

yeah probs

idgi, it's more "stupid" than "funny" to me but admittedly I am kind of humorless.

whiney's otm here, i can't see anyone who facies themself a hipster liking this song, it's more the warped-tour types

of course most of this shit dan go fuck itslef imo

I've been meaning to make a shipley-style Idolator post where I categorize the 30 types of hipster so we stop just calling all these disparate groups "hipsters"

WOULD READ, MIGHT LAUGH.

3oh!3 just seems like next-decade sugar ray -- which means more electro-disco and whatever. frat-party warped-tour bad-beer and all that, but ilx 2019 will be repping it.

(over asher roth, i hope)

lol, i hope i'm sb'd by then

i wouldn't worry about it if i were you

Rolling Crabcore Thread 2019

sadly, im positive i'm closer to 51 than 0

xp

but this thread is about DAS RACIST and HIP HOP BEING FUNNIE

but this thread is about HIP HOP BEING FUNNIE

DAS RACIST

listened to this song last night rolling thru l.a. in a rented suv while one of my bros puked his guts out the side window. it ownz imo, usually hate this kind of shit though.

t(^_^t)

this is severely sub-lonely island

if you told me this was on a new fatboy slim album i wouldn't doubt you for a second.

was hoping that 'peanut butter jelly time' track that claude von stroke did a couple years back would turn into one of these

Pizza Hut is slicing the "pizza" from its boxes and some store signs. The fast food chain will now brand some stores as simply "The Hut."

lol i totally assumed they were gonna chop "hut" because who tf uses that word any more ever

I suggest banned everyone in this thread btw

except for s1ocki

rev's in the pizza hut
rev's in the taco bell
rev's in the combination pizza hut and taco bell

dont get this track

I've only just heard this and Deej OTM. Expected this to be annoying in an awesome, boshing, insanely catchy way and instead it's just annoying in a really half-arsed sub-Flight of the Conchords way.

this is not about radio play, it's about embracing a novelty electronic song in a slightly ironic wacky way, which applies to both Doc Martin hipsters in 94 re sagat and keffiyah kidz in 09 re wacky fast food song

I think you are overthinking this man - it's more about "there have always been novelty records and people dig a good novelty record every now and then" & moreover the pop charts have pretty much vaccinated themselves against good novelty records so if you're gonna enjoy a nice stupid summer novelty jam it's gonna have to come from homemade style stuff

IOW it doesn't really have much to do with hipsters except that they're the ones making the novelty records. if Rick Dees wants to get off his ass and write a good sequel to "Disco Duck," everybody'll throw down for that too for for the time being it's people who claim Brooklyn comin w/insightful wry observations about the intersections of commercial culture & personal interaction

look for my presentation on this in Seattle this year

take that reduplicated "for" and change it to "but for" for improved readability

what a fucking vile record this is

"indie fuxxor electronic novelty hit"

is there a phrase more tailored to making me break out in hives

btw i hate fun and comedy

this is the one they talk about in the song, on Jamaica Ave and 160th

http://a7.vox.com/6a00cd970e4cda4cd50110181c687f860f-pi

ilxor fancy-a-taco 09?

What's the buy one get one free offer on the right? Might go for that instead

PS this song is shit and at the risk of Tuomasing it all up I don't get why it's supposed to be funny

i don't know if you're 15 or something like the rest of the autogoon cru or whatever, but flannel dudes at my school were def doing the "maaaan... funk dat" thing for about 6 weeks.

fyi i'm maybe 2 years younger than you, and i do remember kids in middle school quoting "Funk Dat" but i think it was more from it being on Beavis & Butthead than that they were indie kids and it was an 'electronic' hit (is hip house really electronic music? i have no idea)

i do not care for this either

it's the tim-and-ericization of the music industry

actually this is more like sifl and olly

it's actually exactly like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOfa6JEIVkk

it's the tim-and-ericization of the music industry

man, remember when the music industry was cool? when will those days come back

you're really yearning for the days of old school cool recently huh!

here's something indisputably "cool":

http://nerdapproved.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/doggles1.jpg

man, remember when J0hn used to have his own opinions instead of just accusing other people of making strawmen even when they're not?

you've only been here since 2005, you must have been looking in the archives

http://www.esquire.com/media/cm/esquire/images/high-five-0808-lg-76258126.jpg

yeah whiney I'm sorry, you know I dig & respect you for real, but you really do sound like you're up on some the-kids-aren't-funny-but-when-we-were-kids-we-knew-what-was-funny shit here. like "the tim-and-ericization of the music industry"? newsflash man, the music industry has always been like that

i fucking love "llama school"

LOVE

p.s. prolly xpost, dont feel like reading thru this thread, but the original version is quite terrible, while the wallpaper remix is something i totally wanted to dismiss as shit but i'm simply unable to resist, while remaining completely aware that it contains numerous similarities to Electric Six's "Danger! High Voltage" including an off-key tenor sax solo

Pizza Hut has recently expanded its menu beyond pizza to include pasta, giving it some reason to alter its branding. Media and advertising trade publication MediaWeek characterized the name change as an attempt to transform its stores into hip hangouts.

just goin to chase some tail at the hut, you know

i think the wallpaper remix is a nice production job but i cant get with the song as a whole. okay, i get it, it's supposed to be a joke and rapping is funnie, right, but at least be a competent rapper to make it interesting. i cant give their (imo) dearth of technical ability a free pass just cuz it's supposed to be a joke.

this, ladies and gentlemen, has been a serious post on DAS RACIST's "combination pizza hut and taco bell"

good save cuz i was itching to sb

hmm i heard this when it first came out. don't really feel anything for it. i also haven't been in either a pizza hut or a taco bell for....well, since i was 14. i am not a fast-food chain type of guy.

that said, all my friends were really into "We Fuck You" by Electrik Red last night.

'we fuck you' is so great - really funny but it could never be mistaken for an indie fuxxor novelty hit.

Is there a dance that goes with this novelty hit? I heard it for the first time and thought of chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side immediately.

so basically everyone involved with this was high, right

this song doesn't sit right w/me. we have combination taco bell/ KFC's here

the one nearest me is a combination KFC/Pizza Hut

oakland?

yep.

Is this song supposed to be funny? Because it isn't.

Das Racist is a GREAT band name, though.

okay, just a note: SAGAT released an absolutely fantastic record on Cajual back in the day. Derrick Carter and Ron Trent used to spin it all the time in older sets.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZc533a5pPM

love that song ^

how about Cajmere's Percolator for this thread?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYFyxEwhiLs&feature=related

I admit this is cute

Does this one belong to the same category?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZRGxbzY4m8

oh look, tits (or as they're called in Finland...)

Tissit!

What about this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wSr7h_pjxs

combination dunkin donuts / baskin robins

man, remember when J0hn used to have his own opinions instead of just accusing other people of making strawmen even when they're not?

not sure who's being dissed here, whiney for being a goon or j0hn for not having said anything original in 5 years?

I don't know anyone IRL who dislikes this song.

i like this song, i believe these guys have actually been in a combination pizza hut and taco bell so they're for real

fuck yall

I CAN PLAY COOL BUT I CANT PAY FOOD

song for late 09

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhEQnkfn3g

o man, these guys just keep rolling out the hits (rolls my damn eyes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs6u3at4jTw

holy shit. these guys almost need their own mickey avalon thread. almost

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNTmG5trwyI

Revive!

#4 in the "Poptimists" poll! Why do people think this song is so goddamn amazing????

Am I the only one on the planet (besides Whiney maybe?) who prefers the original to the Wallpaper which is still perfectly nifty in its own right?

original is so much better, remix is posturing imo

whew! (wipes brow)

yeah i prefer the original, remix doesn't really do it for me.

so i found out yesterday that one of the dudes in this band wrote a long blog post calling me & deej racists

lol

these dudes going all over the web writing tl;dr essays is weird; ok great you're smart, maybe you can use that when you make music sometime?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KExUay52tI

so i found out yesterday that one of the dudes in this band wrote a long blog post calling me & deej racists

where?

they seem like insufferable people tbh

im pretty sure it wasnt dude from das racist, just another dude from his blog

...and so the backlash begins

also, i did that display name like three days ago, some dude

ugh ok for like 2 posts, sorry i blinked and missed it

backlash against what? "combination" is far from consensus

tell that to pazz and jop voters

ok i guess i'm gonna wait for the next time someone voices their distaste of "empire state of mind" to say "and so the backlash begins"

Even if it wasn't one of these dudes, I'm still curious to read that rant about you guys being racist. Where can I find it?

http://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/2009/06/gucci-mane-lyrical-genius-outsider.html

i thought it was the dude from das racist bcuz of the bio on this but i might be/probably am wrong http://twitter.com/HEEMS

Since then, I have listened to Gucci’s entire catalog

reeeeaaallllly

i'd wager that not even gucci mane has listened to gucci mane's entire catalog

hahaha who is "uhhh"?

it would be pretty funny if Das Racist read your blog and their response was "das racist"

lol ship otm

hahaha who is "uhhh"?

yeah this bothered me so much

wait why did you think the guy who wrote that was in das racist?? i'm confused

anyway i'm not seeing where he's calling you racists, maybe looking at it from an anticolonialist lens but it's kind of a stretch. anyway it was 8 months ago

this is v good

i just wanted to let you know - that the other day i walked by a combination Starbucks and Taco Bell and thought of Whiney and this thread.

what do you like about this. people whose taste i respect repped this shit to me and i just can't stand it. help me like it.

might have to be cool and from new york or aspire to be so to appreciate it, might have to be cross cultural

think you slipped an 'r' into one of those words by accident

new mixtape is really great! don't sleep!

... 'til brooklyn?

so, you have to approach it from a totally non-musical angle? like i have to live somehwere on the L to really "get" it? like it's some meta meta commentary on bloomberg-era 20-something aspiring artist gentrifying the neighborhood existence? with some vaguely thought stuff about "otherness" thrown in?

but it's a terrible ilx cliche to be all "what do people see in this" so i'll stop. i won't go there. i will listen to the new mixtape with an open mind ... thanks y'all.

what other hip hop do u dig in this vein?

yeah, new mixtape is great.

these guys are so nerdy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU&ob=av2n

this will go down as 2010's iteration of this phenomenon

wow, it's three years since that scroobius pip song. i still feel annoyed by it.

i like das racist to an extent i feel vaguely ashamed by

ek shaneesh & shorty said off the 1st tape are stone cold classics

they sample the days of our lives theme in their new song - would rather not have an opinion tbh but <3 days of our lives so fuckin much

sami when you need somebody new to turn your evil on you know how to find underrated aerosmith right...just whistle

what I heard from these guys had great beats and some of the shittiest rhyming ever, so I can't really get on board

The new album is pretty awesome. The raps can sometimes be a bit lazy-sounding, but there's a lot going on in them. Reminds of (in spirit) Paul's Boutique.

lazy sounding rapping is very much in character here. and the "lazy/stoner" vibe is betrayed by the density of wordplay and references (it's the pavement reunion of rap!) i dig it.

kevin k otm

this is awesome

this is how i felt, then people i really like and whose taste i respect tell me how great it is, and i have a hard time feeling 'fuck you' thoughts towards them. i guess if 'teh discourse' or whatever is as important to you as, you know, the MUSIC, then maybe ....

Rap is a black art form that originated in the Bronx, so why, as two Wesleyan graduates who met in college, would you think you could rap?

Stopped reading here.

deborah solomon is so weird

Not the best week for Deborah Solomon - maybe the NYTimes will finally come to their senses and admit she's a grotesquely incompetent interviewer?

seems like she met her match here

"I don't see interviewing as an art form....At best, it is a minor art form, like bartending, or macramé."

This interview is awesome, and I love these guys.

so, you have to approach it from a totally non-musical angle? like i have to live somehwere on the L to really "get" it? like it's some meta meta commentary on bloomberg-era 20-something aspiring artist gentrifying the neighborhood existence? with some vaguely thought stuff about "otherness" thrown in?

is this a genuine statement or a parody of my kind of fence-riding ambivalence that you usually find so deplorable?

their music feels extremely slight, so its acceptable

obv, rolling stone listing them in y-e shit is 100% deplorable

but i kind of think they would agree, so i cant hate

It's funny, it's got great beats, and their rapping skills are top-notch. Not sure why people hate on them, unless their only exposure to Das Racist was the Pizza Hut/Taco Bell track.

they seem like good dudes whose music i never want to listen to

^^^

Do you hate rapping?

lol

All this speculation about whether or not you would like them seems weird WHEN THEIR ALBUMS ARE FREE!

no mention at all of this amazing Billy Joel sampling / referencing bit of work so far?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzCukmO4fhg

that bourdain thing is so strange

Don't really understand these guys.

Pizza Hut is sort of fun though.

also the Paul's Boutique description makes me want to like them but

The other day I was thinking how, besides the Beastie Boys touchstone, there's also early Scritti Politti's critical theory and alienation effects.

I wonder how bands like this would've been appreciated ten years ago, or before the Internet Runs Your Life era. Would they just have a cult following like Ween?

If nothing else they epitomize the way hipsterism and nerdiness has been blurred in the last few years.

is Die Antwoord somehow exempt from this?

i would say wkiw but theyre kinda smug?

have we decided what this year's indie fuxxor novelty hit is?

Die Antwoord "Enter The Ninja"? Or James Blake's hilarious "Look I Found Her Red Coat Song"?

Das Racist are on Pete Wentz's booking label (with Travie McCoy and Gabe Saporta). Just putting that out there.

thx dude

yeah all of this - if anyone really is still judging based on the pizza hut track from X years ago (which i never liked) they'd be self-clowning. lol especially after sit down man which was more or less unfuckwithable - butter production + smart lyrics, i'm hard-pressed to find what's so unlikeable about it.

last year to try to figure out how to use reaper i did an edit/rmx/thing of rapping 2 u with organismo soulbeat's de foonk de disco

It is Relax, on Spotify.

ha, I saw that article but it didn't register at all that that was one of the Das Racist dudes

have thus far managed to dodge these fellers but now Danny Brown is opening for them in ATX and I gotta figure out if I can countenance even the smallest transfer of wealth to the enterprise, so far thinking nope can't do it ---

So I didn't dig the album that much upon first listen, but maybe it's a grower. A shame because I REALLY loved the mixtapes...

Also love that it was a 6.3 that prompted this.

this is insanely funny

I don't think this is the BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR or anything but I was shocked that I actually enjoyed listening to it

(to clarify, "this" = "the ridiculous hissy fit")

feel like whiney's "i cringe every time i read someone mentioning ilx while not on ilx" goes triple platinum for "artists mentioning pitchfork in their songs or interviews."

i mean if you're not gonna go as hard as axl on get in the ring then why bother

totally

Alas, it's pretty terrible.

i have nothing against these guys but honestly i'd rather read their blogs than listen to their records

^^at some point i went from this to genuinely enjoying the music, at least 'sit down, man' and heems' solo mixtape.

2001 was a very special year for indie fuxxor electronic novelty hits

i know i'm pissed but i'm struggling to work out on which level Green Velvet is an indie fuxxor

i'm guessing it's either on the Whiney challenging my perceptions of what makes an indie fuxxor level or alternatively on the Whiney is drunker than me level

i mean if i actually had to place a bet

Read first post imo

still don't get it but have come round to the i'm drunker than you were theory

and now a word from our sponsors

wondering if this might be the fault of recent updates to the is deej a hipster thread

dj assault and sagat got called fuxxors itt, so the concept of this thread is kind of bs to begin with

rev missing the point completely

I get it, Whiney

you can pencil in "212" on this thread, too

sagat was mainstream and therefor should be penciled out

i really like kool ad

there's just going to be gigantic thinkpieces about das racist popping up every week for the next ten years, aren't there

"...i mean it's me just rapping, bro"

there's just going to be gigantic thinkpieces about das racist popping up every week for the next ten years, aren't there

unfortunately

almost makes me long for MIA thinkpieces

i kind of miss the old days of thinkpieces on M.I.A. or Odd Future instead of people whose music basically functions as thinkpieces responding to unwritten thinkpieces like Das Racist and #seapunk

I just stopped playing Fleetwood Mac so I could play "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell"

did Le1f do the production on that song? I'm really loving his mixtape from this year

this thread has been so inspiring to me!

you working on the indie fuxxor electronic novelty hit of 2013?

i think i've said too much already

"i'm in the burger king, they're not playing the beatles"

haha you just came up in my fb "people you might know" feed and i friend requested you so i could tell you the story

das rapist

wow these guys are assholes, amazing, i'm so shocked, really

Jesus, these guys are the worst.

wow these guys are assholes, amazing, i'm so shocked, really

wait so you've really just known these guys as the types to sexually assault this whole time?

i didn't know exactly what kind of assholes they were, no

the top comment (now deleted) on a das racist AMA asked about the incident

warning: reddit hivemind might make you want to kill yourself

how is this not really blowing up as a story at all? only thing i really see is noz ranting about it on twitter

it's complicated. i mean, i think it will become more of a thing in the coming day or two. but it's hard for places actual news sites to run a story like this based of just a tumblr post. maybe someone will get an interview with the girl or something that would help solidify things a bit.

which of course isn't to say that the accusation isn't legitimate... but it's a tricky area when you're talking about covering it on a wide scale

also, some dude knew they were assholes already anyway

they dead

*insert "i miss you" here*

i wish i actually cared about these guys.

i think we know why they were assholes to some dude though:

It was rad and he spent a bunch of time making fun of me for coming to his show alone and then some dude rushes up to us and is being super annoying asking for Dap’s autograph and just generally being terrible until Dap just puts a hand up and goes,

“Dude. Can’t you see I’m busy? I don’t know if you’ve met my wife. But this is Gwen. My wife. My WIFE okay?? So I’d appreciate it if I could have some time alone with her.”

I really enjoyed DR's music but it's been pretty clear for the last couple years that they weren't enjoying what they were doing together. I don't remember the last time I saw a band get as jaded as quickly as these guys have

I will miss their brand of hip-hop, though. I know a lot of people dismiss them but I always found them refreshing. my ears are probably broken though

lol jvc

Huh. Tried to see them at the Virgin Festival back in October and their set got cancelled. We got told they broke up, but I never heard anything about it after that so figured it was a joke.

who performed in their place, 3OH!3

If only.

i like them a lot (unashamedly), but this doesn't really bum me out 'cause i've listened to their solo tapes more than the DR stuff.

BEST CHANT OF THE NIGHT: "Fuck the KFC / Fuck the Pizza Hut / Fuck the COM-BI-NATION KFC and Pizza Hut." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ8ViYIeH04 … <3 #Oakland

I’m listening to “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” for the first time right now. How the FUCK was this song a hit? This is the stupidest, most unfunny fucking thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

do you not understand anything about meme culture or ....?

looking up "hotel room service" to see if it fits this thread but i don't think it does because pitbull is way too popular. i was blissfully unaware that his 2009 album is called "Pitbull Starring in Rebelution" and that on the cover is Pitbull in a tux with a prominent soul patch next to a woman in a camo bodysuit. wiki tells me he was another florida rags-to-riches story like rob thomas - there must be something in the wang state that bestows gloriously loud careers on talented and very lucky reprobates. i hope i live to read a pitbull biography, although i see that mr. worldwide is only a year (!) older than me. biography.com tells me that he took the nom de plume "pitbull" because they are "too stupid to lose." i hope that he's actually kind of like that and that we aren't going to get any sex pest allegations and he turns into a beloved philanthropist or something.

To be fair here it was the "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" remix that was semi-popular. That setting makes it a lot more approachable and also funnier

I still like CPH&TB

one of the most enduring brooklyn memes is photos of the conjoined popeyes/checkers/dunkin at myrtle broadway so fast food restaurant juxtaposition humor is still animating the youth to this day
