You guys see not caring, I see improvising and musicianship. They go with whatever they feel, and IMO, it sounds better than the album recording.

[@BIGARMADA1988]

Hype man Dap just chilling on the couch, these dudes are so cool.

[@TheChippyRick]

Recorded on my birthday. Awesome.

[@j2n]

[@Vinn3rZ]

graceful

[@grahamarms8247]

Their hypeman is B Real! Jokes, it's Dap c'mon be real.

[@J1ZZB0SS]

this is honesty goated

[@MrJoosebawkz]

"Hey guys let me out of Guantanamo I'm an American citizen." lmao

[@mqk3hw]

Never thought about it...till now...

[@willystarr]

Um, so Dapwell just impersonated B Real for the entire song?

[@skabadelic]

[@shintopig]

I love how their hype man Dapwell is just sitting on the couch . . .

[@xXInsTaNtxrAmEnXx]

These guys are too awesome. Oh my god. Even when they don't give a shit, it's still REALLY FUCKING GOOD.

[@kisukehatake210]

Dashiepie1 what do you expect? their whole sound and theme is based around being random and not caring. they're staying true to their musical philosophy by not giving a fuck. it actually makes me feel good to see them just fuck around and not take anything seriously. they're one of the very few rappers i like because of it but hey i guess if you paid money to see them without knowing what you were in for you shoulda researched them a bit more. the comments from the fans speak for themselves.

[@byHexted]

That’s just stupid. If they didn’t care there wouldn’t be conceptual well produced and written songs. Literally almost every song has a concept and if it doesn’t that in itself is the point. Anyone who has any understanding of flow and rhyme schemes knows damn well these dudes care. There’s countless actually well thought out good bars even in this song like “watch me watch me, the second hand couldn’t even clock me” it’s lazy and just stupid to excuse bad performances with “well their music is like that” yeah no it’s not, that argument maybe wouldn’t be totally stupid If the person you’re replying to and everyone else who doesn’t like them live didn’t LOVE THEIR MUSIC. When you hear Heems on Michael Jackson on the song, then on Conan, you’d have to be aggressively stupid to not hear the difference in “caring”. Not one song they’ve ever put out has them falling asleep on the mic, you literally missed the entire point of this group and are trying to talk down on others like you’re a good fan of theirs lmao. Again if “we don’t care rap is dumb” was the point of the entire group they wouldn’t have countless conceptual songs, they wouldn’t have countless references to classic hip hop, they wouldn’t of covered multiple classic beats and recruited legendary producers like El-P. Their albums are not badly mixed or performed, so praising yourself as some good fan for excusing any BADLY PERFORMED set doesn’t make you smarter then people who expected well mixed and performed songs to be that way live. What because they have a sense of humor in their music and poke fun at hip hop you’re supposed to expect them to suck live? This shit is so typical calling someone who payed to see them a fake fan when you never even saw them at all

[@mayaloveslamp]

I love how Dap is just laying on the couch. Not a single fuck given.

[@byHexted]

Dap is really doing a B Real impression lmaoo

[@bearpickle]

shout out to Principal Belding

[@pinkmotorazr]

@lowlypeasant Cause they're having fun which is what it's all about..

[@4thun]

@kexp - Get Danny Brown in...I think he'd be a good one....and why not SAPE and NYKON, they were on the show a bit ago, no? And I know people would love to see some of The Living Legends. Just some people that sound great live.

[@prestonashburn9395]

[@lowlypeasant]

@ChrisMisenti just because they have fun doesn't mean you have fun. Its like if a chef served you a dish that they didn't even try on.

[@GeorgeClooney]

@TheDeadMortician sweet

[@molotovcoss]

[@aminingcommunity]

[@tarfathewise]

Shits flame

[@fin2limb]

These guys simply don't give a shit.

[@kphisch]

I might have seen it.. but have they put out a funnier video?

[@pinkmotorazr]

@lowlypeasant But they're having fun doing what they're doing and they're rapping for themselves.. idk I found this performance funny

[@Vinn3rZ]

@Microwavish obviously never been to a rap show

[@TheZatrahc]

HAHAAHAHAHAHAAH is this even music? I LOVE IT!!!

[@hudsonlotus]

dapwell is dapwell

[@flaquismoot]

This is what their live shows are like too. They just don't give a shit.

[@bman93c]

Dap sounded like b-real in the begining of the video lol

[@skabadelic]

@br00talKidHxC i don't see you here man. ok. ok. ok.

[@dudeofthecentury1]

INDIANS UNITE!!

[@lowlypeasant]

Why is not giving a shit a good thing?

[@charlesmonsoon]

A little thing I like to call marijuana

[@FearisO]

Heems looks out of it

[@Dashiepie1]

I love Das Racist.... but I wish they took their performances more seriously. It sucks when you see one of your favorite groups live, and then have zero respect for them afterwards.

[@azbayhorse]

Crying is the new rapping.

[@MrWtfthatsgay]

[@MultiDoomface]

Vegan

[@br00talKidHxC]

vegans vegans vegans vegans

[@kphisch]

fuckin... "crying is the new rapping"? hell yeah, everything should be half-assed for badass casual zingers afterwards. And, I am of a club who think "zinger" and "bit" are over- and mis- used words to describe funny things people say or do, but I called attention to my misuse, so I will eat my burger also.

[@TorNyan]

Haha. Why do they kick it much slower than the original? And why is that guy lying down? Tiger plush (or whatever animal it is)
