Also featured on Celebrate Hip Hop is New York outfit Hip Hop Hoodios. This multilingual Jewish Latino trio (their name is a play on the judios, the Spanish word for Jews) have made a career out of mocking themselves, their unconventional position in the hip-hop world and the "rules" that make them stick out. Check out Sarah Bardeen's review of their recent album, Carne Masada (and whatever you do, do NOT miss "Havana Nagila"):
In their intermittent career, the Hip Hop Hoodios have made a living out of playing with any and every stereotype associated with being a) Jewish b) Latino c) rappers. With songs like "Kike on the Mic" and "Dicks and Noses," it's pretty impossible to take them entirely seriously. But amid all the pranks and cultural button-pushing, these guys always step up with great instrumentation and lyrical skills that extend well beyond clowning. If nothing else, you'll be shocked into grudging admiration when you hear how many double entendres can be wrung from dreidels and matzo balls.--Sarah Bardeen
