We love Das Racist ’round these parts and certainly we’re not alone. Thanks to the widespread blogging last year for their breakout track “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” made the Williamburg duo/sometimes trio widespread sensations.

The Village Voice recently invited Heems to write a lengthy and incredibly interesting essay on what life as an internet phenomenon has been like and meant for the fledgling group. It’s a really thoughtful piece and I’m sure isn’t the sort of thought provoking and sincere piece many of you are probably used to reading or were expecting from one of the guys who brought you “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” and the recent video for (shout out to Ronnie James!) “Rainbow in the Dark”.

Seriously get yourself a cup of coffee or a beer and just take in this wonderful essay.
