Lounge on my zef throne

For the past 2 and a half years of my life, I have been so completely obsessed with south african zef/rave/rap group, Die Antwoord (afrikaans for "The Answer"). I've never heard anything like them. DJ Hi Tek's next level PC beats mixed with Ninja and Yo-landi Vi$$er's crazy mad rapping is definitely an out of this world experience. Keep in mind, depending on where you're from, you may completely agree with me or strongly hate on me and chase me with a flaming stick. In my hometown of Brisbane, every. single. teenager loved them. Everyone knew them, every girl wanted to be Yo-landi and every guy wanted to be Ninja. Fly south for like an hour and a half to Sydney and um......no one likes them? Well, actually, that's only if they've even ever heard of them....

Anyway, their first album $O$ was a viral success, with hits such as Enter The Ninja, Rich Bitch, Beat boy and Evil boy and now their newly anticipated album Ten$ion is, to say the least, is completely incredibly amazing and fantastic and perfect. Stand outs for me would have to be Fok Julle Naaiers (roughly translated from afrikaans to "fuck you all") and I Fink U Freeky. The videos are terrifying as usual, but still oddly addicitive, see for yourself (warning: plenty of great swear words)



Oh, okay video I see you want to appear twice... I'm cool with that, double the sexyness....

The whole song is so catchy, especially Ninja's verse. I honestly think I've replayed his section at least 400 times.

I think I should mention this, but I actually went into a weird funk watching this video for the first time. This was me the whole time, legitimately. I...I don't know whats happening.



NOW GO FORTH AND LOVE DIE ANTWOORD BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FUTURE.

Also, I wish I was Yo-landi Fokken Vi$$er

hold up! whoa whoa whoa wait a minute minute minute Jesus Christ! Yo my man, DJ Hi Tek shit! This motherfucking beat is nice
