Die Antwoord - completely bizarre South African rap

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Part of me tells me this is completely fucking awful, yet the other part of me tells me that it's so weird that i love it with all of my heart

[shoegazer76]

Jimminey Christmas! They're like the Golgo Bordello of rap.

[mvanwinkle]

fuck this.

[darkjustice]

tight

[GnarVee]

I bet the prawns bump this shit HARD yo!

[Jman4321]

The lyrics to "Beat Boy" (part of the song shown in the first video) are fucking ridiculous.

Excerpt:

"The men in the masks gather round the patient,
Waiting in anticipation.
The old surgeon says, "Can you see this?
A beautiful woman with a brand new penis!"
You clap the surgeon, lift his white gown,
Grip the surgeon's milky white butt-cheeks.
Rape the surgeon, break the surgeon,
Absorb your penis into your tummy,
You a woman again, complete with a vagina.
I'm flipping my rhyme, uh!"

It's like 8 minutes of this.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

so weird and awesome

[Distorted_Jungle]

TELL ME IT ISN'T SO!

This was complete trash when they played at Coachella, i wanted to kill myself waiting for 2 many DJs

[vinylmartyr]

That video is terrible.

[Distorted_Jungle]

Aphex is so much better than that, I can't believe that even happened.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Oh jesus fucking christ get the fuck over it.


Every two weeks it's some new blowhard whining about not getting 3 more 2manydjs songs from the same fucking set that they have been touring for the past 2 years.

Get. Over. It.

[shakermaker113]

someone must have ripped the space-time continuum.

Oh jesus fucking christ get the fuck over it.

Where did I say they took up time that could have been given to 2manyDJs? I wouldn't have complained if 2manyDJs got more time but my comment said they made me want to kill myself while I was waiting for 2manyDJs. Calm down there buddy.

[hawkingvsreeve]

I WILL NOT.

[cradlerobber]

something about abrasive dumbfucks lol jk i hate 2manydjs

[cradlerobber]

... lets all kill ourselves

[shakermaker113]

brandon does have a point. the complaints about die antwoord have gotten more annoying than the band themselves.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

There's so much worse music out there. Like Pit Bull. Sweet fucking Christ that guy is annoying.

I was there. Sure it was lame for a moment but make no mistake that after their unfortunate cameo Mr. Richard D James set that tent ablaze.

Audio/visual evidence:

[ficklecycle]

Damn, those Aphex vids are incredible...

But as for Die Antwoord, I'll admit some of the beats are okay, and I enjoy most of the shit the girl sings, but I can't stand that ninja guy or whatever his name is.

[shoegazer76]

I don't understand all the hate against them. They're incredibly unique and interesting. Like a car wreck involving a Smart car.

[weareyourfriends]

I don't love them, but my mom is from Durban, South Africa and knows Afrikaans & some slang... basically, Die Antwoord prides themselves on being white trash or "chatus" (pronounced with a Hebrew "ch")

Durban ahh yes...Origin of the Poison. Some fine fine puffage.

[weareyourfriends]

puffage - you must be refering to "duchah"... "duchah, duchah, puff, puff" ...My mom has told me all about it; kinda weird convo with mom, but hippy parents are awesome

[shoegazer76]

Yes hippie folk are good peeps especially if they're yr folks. Tricky talks about Durban Poison bein his favorite strain in a intrview I read. I've had the pleasure of puffin it and I must say its choice. I think much of Die Antwoord's intrigue lyrically is they're slang which is regional & cultural.

[unknown]

Ahhhhhh Aphex Twin fucking DESTROYED that place. Fuck Die Antwoord. Their rambling nonsense was a damn joke. Thank god it was only for a short while.

[Chromezeppelin]

im kind of embarrased to admit that i really enjoy their album.

not in the same way i enjoy floyd or zep of course, but it puts a smile on my face. its fun.

i like their freakshow steez

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I don't understand all the hate against them. They're incredibly unique and interesting. Like a car wreck involving a Smart car.

I feel very weird about them... on one hand, I don't think they're horrible. I read about Ninja and his past projects and it's all pretty interesting, he seems like a cool and pretty talented dude.

On the other hand, why are they so popular? I think it's just blog hype, honestly. It's one of those things where a few blogs go DIE ANTWOORD and then people go Hmm, Die Antwoord? I should check that out. Maybe I should care about it. And now they're playing between Z-Trip and 2ManyDJs at Coachella, nearly headlining festivals, rapping over Aphex Twin... I don't really get it. They sold out their show here, and it's like, is that people who are genuinely Die Antwoord fans or just people who are like "oh shit I've heard of that on the internet." And I'm not saying either is better or more valid, it's just a strange kind of fame that's particularly interesting to me.

[Ardentbiscuit]

My vote for weirdest album cover ever.
