DAS EFX
My brother and i argue about Das Efx all the time. Not 'cause he doesn't like them. We both equally enjoy the music that comes from this duo.. but he says, "all they say is 'riggidy diggidy dah' before everything". That may be the case, but it's that stupid wtf did he just say that makes these two so comically amazing. Skoob comes from Brooklyn, and Kraayyyyzzzyyyy Draayyyzeee is from Jersey, and they met at university.The "das" in "Das Efx" stands for Dre And Skoob; of course, efx means effects. EPMD spotted them at a talent show where they lost.. but they signed them anyway. Worked out well. "They Want Efx" samples James Brown. They appeared on Ice Cube's "Check Yoself".. and they were fun. Til they lost te "iggedy". Other rappers saw it was a fun way to rap, and people liked it.. So they copied (Jay-Z, the biter not a writer).
Believe this, I haven't caught these two live. Which is a damn shame. They're continuing to tour, and working on a new album.. so let us all hope it workiddy works out.
I'll also throw down this Fresh Prince clip of Will dancing to Das Efx, because it is equally as great.
