Das Racist - Michael Jackson on Conan 28.11.2011

since it was nowhere to be found when I looked for it

[@seank6016]

I still wake up everyday hoping Das Racist buries the hatchet and releases an entirely El-P produced album

[@jesusf8362]

So does dap

[@macmat5]

i fucking lost it when he dragged his head through the keyboard

[@EndOfTheW0rld]

these guys were GOLD

[@mykneecapshurt]

THE GAME WAS NEVER THE SAME

[@KingDoomfist]

It's like an insane ritual that summons the ghost of Michael Jackson.

[@EndOfTheW0rld]

as it should be.

[@bigheavyshoe]

I love this

[@matheson2934]

love how he walks right past ad and shakes MJs hand and some other random fill in extra

[@WrathofTron]

Mr Matheson the random fill in extra is the main dude from Chairlift.

[@matheson2934]

ah this kind of makes it funnier to me :P. das racist so underground conan just says thanks to whatever musicians are round. bahahahha

[@WrathofTron]

Mr Matheson he actually produced the album too

[@matheson2934]

oh thats rad i'd never heard of these dudes, not a big synth pop fan tbh lol. hella talented regardless tho, were chairlift interviewed that night too? cos that would make it slightly less funny but still chuckle worthy at AD even coming up the front and shaking MJs hand too ahahahha

[@mjr2451]

To be fair to Conan, The drummer and the rapper on the right switch places midway through the song and Michael Jackson’s ghost didn’t show up till halfway through. I don’t think Conan was being deliberately disrespectful as much as he was dealing with the talkshow equivalent of Three Card Monty.

[@alexandrabolton7872]

Watching this at a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell

[@TweEkc]

Hope the combination didn't do anything too bad for your eyes

[@jackmehoff6753]

This is Conan’s favorite song

[@patallison8137]

fucking perfection in art

[@musicwithoutanyboundaries]

Wish there were more live performances of these guys!

[@Bigboxpro]

I wish they were better than this live performance.

[@kieranpenrose3424]

This was a higher quality performance then was expecting can't lie 11/10

[@JayHill1995]

This should've gone down in history

[@staralur03]

Yo turn the reverb up

[@tomplatt9153]

yo im good at Rappeng

[@radioredmages1358]

TY for the reup. long time das racist fan, just found this, you da best

[@TraumaBG]

Doing gods work keeping this posted thanks.

[@pgfinna]

it was a weird time in underground hip hop

[@teamnovember5594]

First live performance of theirs I've seen. I was expecting them to bring the energy!

[@williamscerbo458]

Legends

[@jsimondsmalamud]

just realized at the end of this conan shakes hands with two yt people who are not in das racist

[@ThePrettyPrieto]

Das Racist was waaaaaaay ahead of its time damn

[@nmhansen]

Man I forgot about this. Victor can really drum.

[@dahalofreeek]

He used to play drums in a punk band called Party Animal.

[@funakiisgod1743]

This is so rare

[@leowatley]

I miss them, yo.

[@byHexted]

Bruh I never knew they were on Conan whatttt

[@pgroup1126]

middle school talent show

[@erickv511]

DAP putting work in.

[@Inrxz]

This is so fucking funny holy shit its on conan HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@matthewhayes5909]

Goddamn these guys were so ahead. Is that Ryan Hemsworth on drums??

[@erectopatronum6750]

I believe its Patrick Wimberly of Chairlift.

[@davidreinhard6037]

2024, just wanted to double check if these guys actually existed or if this was a weird fever dream I had. I swear their career was like.... this... and then they just went "never mind" and disappeared again

[@MikeyBharj]

Well that was sick😆😆

[@lowcorrelation]

This is Jordan Schlansky favorite song.

[@bychristopherewing]

Art.

[@clevejae9829]

I remember seeing this when it came on lol

[@JagjitK86]

Me too!!!

[@bigheavyshoe]

Same

[@HotStrange]

Same it’s how I discovered them. Conan always had good musical guests.

[@bootsypoots]

Shit is so good

[@RaymondJayliss]

Possibly the worst live performance ever!! EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[@ehrinah_al-jeordhi]

Yasmine from Tearist in the back!

[@STANKYDADDY]

Legendary TV moment when that MJ came out💀

[@JagjitK86]

Ngl they still hit

[@kickasskat17]

Genius

[@ZakkZace]

uh this shit is straight thrash at the end wow WOW

[@alphadream953]

why did conan delete this

[@jimreid9186]

LOL

[@wasy35]

This was pretty good and Micheal is alive?.

[@ChrisValera]

He came back from the dead for this performance and died again right after.

[@_sunchildd]

LMAO. what is goin onnnnn 😂 anyone else come here from beach too sandy?!

[@bearpickle]

classic underwhelming DR live performance.

[@m.w.r.1408]

I've never seen a DR live performance where they didn't look like they wanted to die lol

[@bigheavyshoe]

I thought it was an amazing performance. Especially for a TV premiere

[@bearpickle]

@@bigheavyshoe amazing? have you been in jail for the last thirty years?

[@xandacab4285]

@@m.w.r.1408lol nah they prob felt awesome. p sure they were popping pills like candy the whole time das racist was around. kool slurring his verse on conan lmao

[@xandacab4285]

idk i feel like it was p fun that they did the beat live and then brought out a michael jackson impersonator. timing was a little loose, tho

[@Slangem_Dozier]

If you know you know

[@eddeddeeddee6491]

LMAOOOO

[@byHexted]

Heems should’ve came with the energy he did in the song. I really think his lack of energy in most of his performances really does a disservice to his ability.

[@SomebodysCrackers]

dude was at the top of his 'third thing' era lol cut him some slack

[@jackbradyclancy]

transcendent

[@TechTalkHD]

you can really tell they didn’t wanna do it anymore in this lol

[@bleepbloop9123]

hilarious

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

Who’s here in 3216?

[@racso20000]

They rilly hate this lmao. Everybody but the kondabolu brother having a bad time up on stage

[@BL-zi9wb]

There's a reason these guys aren't popular any more.

[@joshuachinchilla4783]

B L They publicly announced their breakup literally a few days later. They were just collecting a pay check by this point

[@BL-zi9wb]

@@joshuachinchilla4783 I can respect that lol.

[@yllwcatredcat]

chunky_luva damn, you are 100% right! I really thought it was that year. My bad, thanks for the correction

[@llamaclipz]

What happened to this guys

[@wyganter]

Unfortunately they called it quits because they couldn’t pay their bills by making music.

[@barkbarkkillerwhale]

407.

[@alexhard7651]

Brooklyn?? i thought they from Queens

[@seank6016]

Alex Hard Heems is from Flushing and Kool is from the Bay Area. They made most of their music in the Brooklyn area

[@franksoul]

I-don't-care-rap.

[@semephor]

A car crash

[@patharpani4723]

Absolutely terrible performance.

[@atcquentin]

And it's great
