Indie hip-hop group Das Racist made a name for themselves with the sublimely stupid Internet hit "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" in 2008. Now, they are back with a new mixtape entitled Shut Up, Dude.

The first single, "Who's That? Brooown!" is being featured in a very cool and funny video that pays tribute to old-school video games. Watch closely, and you'll see references to tons of classic games, including Frogger, Zelda, Tetris, and Rampage. The game featured in the video is also completely playable on the Das Racist website.
