Das Racist kicked out of England
Arty Brooklyn rap group Das Racist—made up of two Wesleyan graduates who, if you're asking, have described themselves as “proto-postworld pop”—was detained at the UK’s Gatwick Airport and then deported to Sweden yesterday. According to a message posted on the duo’s official website, members Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez were stopped due to “some sticklerism on the part of UK Customs regarding paperwork." Naturally, they’ve blamed the whole thing on the fact that the British “govvy doesn’t like us! Because of our POLITICAL VIEWS!”
