Hello there,
You might have heard of the new South African gimmick rap group (and I say gimmick because they are more hilarious than they probably meant to be) called Die Antwoord who have released the video for their first single 'Enter the Ninja' for which there is a hilarious video.
This group must surely be a joke, because I like to hope that whoever filmed and produced the music video and this other music video-cum-interview would have stopped and said to the main gauy, "are you being fucking serious?"
There's a rapper (skinny, covered in homemade tattoos which say crap like "Pretty Wise," "a woman is more dangerous than a loaded gun," and "how could an angel break my heart"); a small blonde girl with a mullet (maybe hot in a post-ironic sort of way?) who sings the choruses and dances; and then there's a DJ (he is the most mysterious one).
The rapper, is a joke. In the single, Enter the Ninja he takes his due time as a rapper to hate on all his haters but it comes out sounding like something you might see on Tim & Eric, because it's just that retarded:
"Fuck. This is like, the coolest song I ever heard in my whole life. Fuck all of you who said I wouldn't make it. They said I was a loser, they said I was a no-one, they said I was a FUCKin psycho. Well look at me now, all up in the interweb, world wide, 2009, futurista, enter the ninja, Yolandi Visser, DJ Hi-Tek, Die Fokkin Antwoord"
He's mental. They mak numerous references to ninjas throughout their lyrics, I feel as though they may have spent too much time with the 12 year olds on www.mylifeisaverage.com
Yolandi Visser - short, blonde, reso nice body, she has a voice I suppose I can't really tell if its any good, she says a few words every once in a while but I cannot tell if she would be pretty if we removed the context.
DJ Hi-Tek does NOT have progeria. In 'Enter the Ninja,' the rapper is like DJ Hi-Tek! and then they show you a picture of the kid w/ progeria. But on the website you can see that DJ Hi-Tek is this big fatty who mixes 'Next-Level beats'
That is all. These people are kind of fun, and some of the music sounds a bit like M.I.A.s Arular, if you threw an agressive South African guy in the mix.
ALSO
is it ok to use the kid with progeria as a gimmick?
