The Cataracs, also a two-man hip hop group, are slated to perform at Yardfest this year. Their best known track is “Top of the World” featuring Dev.

Sources confirm that the third act will be a student band decided after a “battle of the bands”-esque contest.

If you don’t know who Das Racist is, we would suggest you get acquainted because they are awesome and they are going to be at Yardfest this year.

This is one of their classics:

We wonder who else will be there?

It’s pretty poppin’. It was published today by YouTube user “random2g” who goes by Mega Ran. The single can be downloaded here.

Lyrics:

From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV,
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I’m Jeremy Lin

6 foot 3, with a 4.2
Grade point average, not vertical
Overlooked by every single team,
But never once did he let it hamper his dream,
First in the gym, last one done
Proving Hard work pays off in the long run
killed em in the previous summer
Dropped a career high when the coach finally called his number

Cut off the roster from Golden State
Knew his time was coming, so he chose to wait
Never know when you gonna get up in the game
But he made his moment count in the biggest of ways,
New York City the worlds Greatest stage,
now 20,000 rabid fans scream his name
Wasnt recruited for his ball skills,
Now you gotta wonder how they all feel,
Didnt quit, he only worked harder
went from Harvard graduate to NBA starter
the haters gonna hate and call him lucky
First ivy leaguer in the league since Chris Dudley
Must be some kinda desire
To make everybody who doubted you out to be a liar…
And even if it only lasts a moment,
Jeremy Lin took it and owned it,
You gotta respect it

From undrafted to talk of the league
From afterthought to all over TV,
I tell you hard work is the key, but uh
This is what can happen when you dream
I’m Jeremy Lin

On February 6, the New York Knicks won two consecutive games for the first time since early January. After only sixteen minutes of play in his first two weeks as a player with the Knicks, followed by his rampant success in tonight’s game and the last, Jeremy Lin ’10 has created quite the buzz in the basketball world. “I definitely couldn’t have imagined this,” the former Harvard player said after scoring a career-high 28 points and handing out eight assists in his first NBA start, a 99-88 win over the Jazz.

What’s awesome about this entire story is not just that Lin is a fellow Harvardian, but the amount of work and heart the NBA player has put into getting to this stage of his career. Lin was cut by two different teams in the pre-season, and received only scant playing opportunities at the beginning of the regular season with the Knicks. His teammates believed in him, though. As Knicks center Tyler Chandler said, “We’ve been saying that [Lin] has talent in practice, but we didn’t know if it would translate in the game…He’s obviously showing all of us that he can.”

I think it’s safe to say no matter what team we hold our allegiances to in the NBA, most of us here at Harvard are rooting for you, Jeremy.

Well, it was bound to happen. Who knows where it originated from, and quite frankly we don’t care, because it’s pretty damn funny (and, at times, strikingly accurate). So, it’s safe to say that this is an inside job. Now, go forth and multiply, little memes! Post your favorites in the comments.
