Last night, New York rap group Das Racist appeared on late-night TV for the first time ever, doing "Michael Jackson" on Conan, and their performance involved the following things: An inexplicable podium, voice-warping effects, presumably-intentionally under-the-breath mumbled rap verses, two cute girls who just sort of flailed at cymbals for no reason, instrument-switching, self-bleeping, a Nirvana T-shirt, and an extended dub breakdown, during which an actual Michael Jackson impersonator moonwalked out onto the stage and kept the act up even after the song was over. It was great, obviously. Now watch it below.

The burning question: How did Fallon not get this performance first?
