It exists: South Africa's thoroughly bewildering "zef rap rave" crew Die Antwoord, in conversation with dear friend-of-SOTC Ryan Dombal over at Pitchfork. Topics include their abrupt surge of I...

Over the past month, the South African dj/hip-hop troupe, Die Antwoord , have been causing quite a ruckus. Whether you respect them for their originality, or are bashing them for their ridiculousness, it's no secret that these kids are on the tips of many a tight tongue. The trio of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek are capitalizing on their interesting beats, and more so, on the strength of their uniquely weird vocal stylings and videographic [...]

Many web critics and famous twitters 'talked mad shit' about Rihanna over the past week since her video for the song "Rude Boy" 'totally ripped off' the M.I.A. aesthetic. It seems like people want to protect M.I.A. and her perceived authenticity in alternative circles, even though she is a mainstream artist now. Many music fans feel that Rihanna is unoriginal and only marginally talented, usually using autotune to mask her weak voice. It seems like she has a 'slammin ethnic bod', but is ultimately too stupid/uneducated to develop her own concept. She is a young [...]
This is the answer to whatever...fuck. The bosses at the beach Die Antwoord are multi-muscle stickupkids, hardskilled in drawing circles, present 1000$-quality for 0$ and distract listeners from anankasms and push-ups. BONUS XXX CLIP W/ CUPCAKES AND TRIANGLES:
Watch this music video, then watch the interview below it... Yes, I know, this shit is a joke. I can't tear my eyes away from that weird alien dude in the first video. Zef! Download the Die Antwoord debut album "$O$" here!

Die Antwoord has been popping up everywhere recently with people just discovering this insane "rap-rave" crew. Our previous post about them has been the most popular this month so we wanted to bring to attention a very entertaining interview Vice did with them all the way back in September 2009 (respect for finding these guys so early). Click here for the full interview. Their album "$O$" is dropping soon. Below are some of my favorite quotes and exchanges from the interview. Not safe for work. VICE : [...]
Here are some quick links to some things I wrote for Day and Night today: Die Antwoord : South Africa's rap-rave comedy crossover, R Kelly has 15 more episodes of Trapped in the Closet and The Five Best Mashups , Pick of the music blogs , the genius that is Selleck Waterfall Sandwich , if Wes Anderson directed Spiderman and Granny O' Grimm's Oscar message . Also, footballer Dion Dublin has made a musical instrument ? Yup. Out. Random Posts 8-Bit [...]
Met het WK deze zomer was het allang duidelijk dat 2010 het jaar van Zuid-Afrika zou worden. Die Antwoord maakt hier dankbaar gebruik van en laat zien dat er behalve getetter ook ander geluid uit Zuid-Afrika komt. En wat voor een geluid.. Een korte maar oh zo mooie introductie: Die Antwoord - Zef Side Click here to view the embedded video. Niet verwacht dat ik ooit naar een Zuid-Afrikaanse zeer boos kijkende met zwaar accent rappende ninja zou luisteren. Dit wordt natuurlijk nog even [...]
Uh oh…I feel another obsession coming on. Ever heard of "eerie, lo-fi, caustic rap(?) music with long, poetic names and spooky backwoodsy instrumentation." Well now you have. Listener seems like a more accessible, more innovative version of mewithoutyou . They both have that yelling poetry aspect that is so raw, emotional, and somehow natural that you can't help but listen quietly and attentively afraid you might miss something if you don't pay close attention. "Is this Arkansas' answer to Die [...]
Die Antwoord Whats crackalacking Vagabonds?! If you've been following us you know that last week we reblogged @uvmann 's video post of "Enter the Ninja" . If you watched, it probably freaked you the fuck out, but we know you couldn't look away and you probably shared it with all your friends cause that's what we did. Above is a video of them wilin' out in a cab, spitting some rhymes, getting twisted on the streets of South Africa. I'm assuming they are filming in the cab because as [...]
:: The Red Chord and the Ultimate Warrior ? Of course. :: Looks like Bright Eyes isn't completely dead yet after all. Sad face. :: The free, ad-supported music streaming that was supposed to save the music industry keeps taking blow after blow. That latest bad news on that front is Warner Music Group's announcement that they're done streaming music for free . :: Got some fresh Daytrotter sessions from No Age and AA Bondy [...]
If you haven't seen this yet, where have you been? Die Antwoord is some next level shit.
Die Antwoord - Enter the Ninja.mp3 Die Antwoord - I Dont Need You.mp3 Die Antwoord's mematic rise to interweb popularity in the past three weeks since their release of their video for Enter the Ninja has been nothing short of entertaining. Showcasing some iconic imagery and a strong production value to boot, it is easy to see that their success was not haphazardly achieved. All cultural relevance aside, the South African troop's music presents a strong case for admirable entertainment at face value. I am [...]
Ninja, Yo Landi Vi$$er y DJ Hi Tek pusieron al internet de cabeza en menos de una semana con 'Die Antwoord', grupo de lo que ellos llaman 'Rap Rave'. Provienen de Sudáfrica y nadie tiene ni puta idea de quienes son, tampoco si es alguna clase de parodia o si se toman enserio, pero a nadie le debería importar. De hecho, corren rumores por alli de que se trata de una campaña viral por parte de PUMA (supuestos sponsors del grupo) para el mundial de fútbol de este año, pero como les dije NO LES IMPORTA. La vaina [...]

Yup, it's already that time again, but we're trying not to let school bum us out too much. Plus, sitting in the library jacked up on caffeine at 2 in the morning always gives me an excuse to find some new tunes. We hope these will give you a good opportunity to continue procrastinating (er, I mean, studying.) Good luck everyone. Flying Lotus was one of our featured artists this week, so it seems only fitting to post A Decade of Flying Lotus as our first mixtape. Enjoy 40 minutes of wacky beats produced by FlyLo and [...]

Thank god for the internet, I was on facebook and that fucking wall to wall bullshit on the homepage finally did something worth while. Die Antwoord (this website is fucking shinnyyyy as hell check it out) is a South African electro rap crew (theyve dubbed rave rap), I for one was getting really sick of that entire genre but Die Antwoord has come and I fucking love them. Made up of Ninja, Yo Landi Vi$$er and DJ HI-TEK I am expecting big things from this band. [...]

Dziwny, obrzydliwy duet, oni sami i wszyscy dookoła nich na teledyskach wyglądaj jak fantastyczne, popromienne, nieproporcjonalne potworki (gangsta kolo z progerią!!!). Wokal damski jak spiczowane kiczowate diwy z początku lat 90tych, koleś rapuje-grajmuje czystym cockney'em. Do tego bit bit bit. Die Antwoord - Beat Boy S.T.tees
