Known for their use of humor, obscure references, and unconventional style, Das Racist has been both dismissed as joke rap and hailed as an urgent new voice in rap. Spin magazine picked Das Racist as one of 50 acts to watch at the 2010 SXSW festival, and in April 2010, MTV Iggy selected Das Racist as one of the "25 Best New Bands in the World". Rolling Stone declared the song "hahahaha jk?" from Sit Down, Man one of the fifty best singles of 2010.
Das Racist's unique style has a strong polarizing tendency; their set at the Pop Montreal festival was described as "the most divisive show seen at the festival". They describe their approach to music as "'deconstructionalist': sawing the legs out from under hip-hop as they celebrate it".The New York Times wrote "Das Racist’s lack of piety has become an aesthetic of its own, with songs that are as much commentary on hip-hop as rigorous practice of it". The Root said Das Racist could speak for both "the ‘hood or the nearest gated community." Playboy called the duo "equal parts hip-hop and Cheech & Chong".
In December 2012, statements made by members of Das Racist made apparent that the band had broken up.

I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I need to take you down to Coochie Dip City
What up, girl? How are you you you?
I know a couple things that we probably oughta do
Let's take a trip to Coochie Dip dip dip
When I'm hip you hip, we hip hip hip hip hooray
You the shit, I'm the shit, we the shit shit shit shit
You look real nice to me me me me
Coochie Dip is the place I'd like to be be be be
Milk in my coffee, cinnamon baked buns
Hard to read like Finnegan's Wake, done done done
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
She's a birthday candle
She's on fire, she's on cake, son son
You're Prada bag and a fake one one one
Listening to Drake and Raekwon
She gets me here and right here like A-1
Hey, Tanika nice to meet ya ya you you
I would like to freak ya, yea you freak you
I got?
And I ain't got no bedbugs on my mattress
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City
I need to take you down to Coochie Dip City
The lyrics to Das Racist's "Coochie Dip City" are straightforward on the surface, but upon closer examination, they reveal a complex and often humorous commentary on sexuality and desire. The repeated refrain of "I want to take you down to Coochie Dip City" is meant to be both absurd and alluring, as if the city itself is a sexual playground where anything goes. The lyrics are peppered with sexual innuendos and double entendres, such as "When I dip you dip, we dip dip dip dip dip," which could be interpreted both as a reference to the popular dance move and as a metaphor for sexual penetration.
The verses continue to explore sexual desire in more detail, with lines like "You look real nice to me me me me" and "She gets me here and right here like A-1." The references to Prada bags and listening to Drake and Raekwon add a touch of humor to the otherwise sultry lyrics, as if the desire for material possessions and pop culture references are just as important to the singer's desires as sex itself.
Overall, "Coochie Dip City" is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the intersection of desire and culture, using humor and irony to subvert and comment on traditional notions of sexuality.

this song reminds me of some of the best days of my life. listening to it in the past, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pure euphoria coursing through my body and mind as if everything was right with the world. pure bliss. coming back to it now, my feelings are certainly a bit more mellow...the weight of age.

replace the word mellow with stoic or jaded and it is relatable and makes sense

Underrated song from one of the most underrated groups - this is still a banger in 2019

This song has been stuck in my head all day. I started singing it to customers as I was ringing them up. Oops. Haha, it's just so good. I can't even help it.
