The majority of you Hip-Hop historians will either love or loathe Die Antwoord.
Touching down online like an F5 tornado with quite possibly two of the most random rap music videos ever produced, the pierced-tongue-in-cheek trio of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek have turned a top spot on Google Trends into a contract with Jimmy Iovine’s machine in a matter of months. You should probably read that again and then slap yourself, because you haven’t done diddly squat in the past 100 days and these crazy South African cats are getting record deals by being fake rappers. Now that I think about it, a few people could fall into that category.
The only difference is that these weirdos are actually original, with genuine talent and knack for production value, and will probably use their gimmick to get more than two summers worth of ringtone money like most half-a** hoodlums on the mic.
That premonition, along with this video below, though?

Yeah, this shit is fucking great.
i heard Enter the Ninja a few months ago and shit was one word: haunting. I almost shit my pants but I wanted to watch it over and over again…very creepy indeed. Their dj has some weird disease that makes his head huge and i think hes the oldest living person with the disease? i’d research more but im feeling lazy…
that was straight up terrible. so terrible i had to watch the whole bloody thing.
This is pretty horrible. Even by horrible standards. This is like Ja-Bar verse.
The hipsters have been arguing about these ones for a minute now. I just laugh and treat this shit the same way I treat Soulja Boy.
That deformed dude isn’t the DJ. He’s just some dude with Progeria, that rapid aging disease.
My wife tried to get me to listen to this shit a couple months ago. TERRIBLE!!!
Check out “Wot Pump” or however it’s spelled on Youtube. the chick goes off, pretty dope verse. shit’s different: more than you can say about 90+%
of hip-hop out now

It like Dats Racist. Only less lyrical. And wit midgets.
So is the DJ the big dude from the first video or the little dude from the second video?
This shit go hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, my faith in your posts just got annihilated. this shit blows SO hard.
yo seriously this is the wackest shit ever and i dont understand why people are on it so hard…..like it’s not even music it’s fucking retarded little kid shit…
…and you can have w/e you liiiiike
I don’t think people are impressed with the music. I think people are mostly impressed by the direction and production of the videos.
I hope hipster chicks start cutting their hair like that girl. That shit is the h-o-t-n-e-s-s.
D.J. Hi-Tek you say???????
blogsites wont be happy until they have absolutely zero credibility left. gotty, please police your children
Gave it a listen & naw can’t get into it. lol shits horrible! imo

the main dude in this clip, staring at that picture to no avail…for hours.
that’s you.
Die Antwoord is without a doubt, the biggest piece of shit excuse for “music” I have ever heard.
I pray the hip hop blogosphere doesn’t start dedicating posts to this crap.
anyone thats can spit “…i-i-i-i want the knife …” has a pass in my book, imo.
errrm…even though it was made pretty clear in the OP, seems a lot of people aren’t getting that this is all a joke? as in, a comedy show taking the piss out of white redneck south africans? the dudes are all performance artists.

I’m surprised people haven’t realized the main point of this post yet.
I normally read alot of post on here , laugh , and dont post but ill stand up for this group. My cousin first had me waatch the ninja video a few months ago and all i gould say is what kind of bullshit is this. Reminded me of an SNL short. And now there albulm gets a song played almost everyday. They are definitely using there gimmick to get more attention but dont kid yourself these people are talented. There production is great. There slang , style , “Zef” is all pretty damn catchy and you cant fake good music. Google them and checl out a few tracks on there website.
Is the joke that rap has sunk to such depths that rap fans can’t tell the difference between a pastiche and the real thing? Where people being completely over the top and amplifying every rap cliche get mistaken for a genuine group?
Style
Damn, shorty is a ten
lol This group is trolling hip hop.
the DJ is Leon Botha
It’s funny how something from somewhere different is automatically wack cause we don’t understand it. Most people on here giving their 2 cents don’t know a danm thing about south african culture. I’m just happy that Hip Hop has traveled so far and that even red neck looking south Africans are putting shit out. Wether you like it or not that’s your opinion, but you can’t deny the fact that these cats are doing something different, and the bitch slap to everybody dissing this…

Dope, this is better than Drake’s latest record for sure.
No lie, when Ninja’s actually trying to rap well, he’s fantastic. If I spoke what ever African language they do, I’d understand his rap a lot better. This video shows off his skill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y9_WGqN5e0&feature=channel
Ok so here is the deal with these guys.

The are theme performers in Africa that do various types of bands and this one is their play on hip hop that actually took off. His tattoos aren’t real. They aren’t really ghetto but just faking it.
Now what is really funny is to read the lyrics to their Beat Boy song. Dirty as a 2 live crew track but you could never tell.

the album is hot. should have included the wat pomp video, that video is ZEF!
Yo…are they serious or are they suppose to be this damn silly?…The little albino chick is kinda sexy tho…
fuck all you haters….this is cutting edge creepy stuff, it’s great!
the kid has Progeria.
*not a midget
I have been banging this track heavy for a couple months now:

Satire or not, this song is worth it.
