The only musicians to ever give the awesomeness of combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bells their rightful spot in music history, Brooklyn hip hop duo Das Racist have called it quits. The group was booked to perform at Munich’s On3 Festival, yet only Heems appeared on stage. The festival’s website is reporting that he told the crowd, “You guys wanna know the secret? Alright, so I’m going to do some Das Racist songs, but Das Racist is breaking up and we’re not a band anymore”.
In response, Kool A.D. tweeted the following:
for the record i quit das racist 2 months ago and was asked by our manager not to announce it yet. apparently @himanshu wanted to do it tho.

Heems soon after followed with this:
@veeveeveeveevee hah dag, my bad dont even remember saying that shit.

So it seems that’s it for Das Racist. While the group has been touring the festival scene this year, each artist has been pushing solo mix tapes too. In July, the group signed a deal with Sony to produce a second album. No word yet on if that will see the light of day.
