Die Antwoord

[Herr Tubthumper]

Anyone heard of this lot? A strange SA trio, with slightly creepy videos. David Lynch likes them apparently. The 2nd song is insanely catchy.

The second song is actually insaneley shit.

 

[The Grockle]

I've got an unhealty 'thing' for that girl and yes i've seen her fringe.

Its the worst song i've EVER heard, literally.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Philistines, the lot of you.

Being played a lot on Radio 1 that second song, and although im not a huge fan, it is quite funny to listen to South African rap, which quite frankly in that accent sounds extremely weird.

I saw these guys at a music festival in Poland in the summer and they were SHIT!!!!

 

[Robdinho]

I saw those videos about a year ago (I think someone posted them up on here in fact) and thought they were hilariously bad. Can't believe they've managed to get on the radio 1 playlist!

I seem to be out on my own with this lot. Come on, they're not that bad.

 

[Lush]

Trouble is, as soon as I think of white South Africans and music I think of this.

enter the ninga's got a lot of internet hype over the past 6 months or so and is actually released as a single in the uk tomorrow.
saw them play a couple of times this summer at festivals in japan and europe and they're actually very, very good! well worth seeing if they play near you anytime soon...

Thank you, someone has taste.

I think they're pretty underwhelming to be honest. Can't really see the attraction.

They do have a talented deejay though...

I love it!

I quite like them, at least they're trying to do something a bit different. I'm not about to buy the album but appreciate the music - 100000 times better than some american shithop artist banging on about his hoes and his money the whole time.

There's plenty of decent Hip Hop acts out there trying to do something different without resorting to being a comedy parody of one.

Are they a 'comedy parody' though? I'm no hip-hop expert, far from it in fact, but I can see this is a bit different.... but does this mean it is not genuine? They appear sincere to me albeit a little creepy and odd.

"Ja we’re from the hip-hop family, but we do rap-rave next level shit. Die Antwoord started with my one homeboy, DJ Hi-Tek (shows tattoo on hand)—He’s got his own PC computer and he makes basically like phat rap-rave beats. I was checking out his shit, and we started making some beats, you know, next level shit. So then I was speaking to my homegirl Yo-Landi, you know she’s got some funk and super flavour, so we started with a kind of, like, 2Unlimited, C+C Music Factory kind of thing… but a bit more gangster, with a street edge. Then we found out you can put the songs for free on the interweb, no problem. Now the album’s pumping worldwide, like some next-level futuristic shit. Scotland, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Japan… In like, one second we’re in the overseas, it’s instant—like the matrix."

Hmmmm...
