Die Antwoord - "Fatty Boom Boom" (Official Video)

[codec_spurt]

I saw a few other posts here at KVR for the mighty Die Antwoord.
Anyway, here is one more..


And, before anyone gets on any high horses about racism, please check where these people come from, who their friends are and what their philosophy is.

This is next-level shit.

You know that feeling of your brain cells slowing dying?

As someone from South Africa, I am under the impression this is a fairly common way for many people to perceive the place.

It is ridiculous.

Like the Antwoord or not, they are genius, no doubt about it, although, like South Park, people either get it, or think it's moronic.

No. Well sometimes. I just wonder if your experience is the same as mine.

What do you mean?

Sorry, could you answer one thing for me?
Did you hear of them?
Are they well known/well liked?

I think you get it and don't think it is moronic.
Would I be right?

They have a thing for them over at boingboing.net and the comments whenever a new video is posted are really interesting, cutting right across the spectrum of opinions.

Kind of amazing people still argue about how genuine they are, motives etc. Other bands get away with a lot more ambiguity, maybe because they're not so provocative?

Whatever, I love them, the new punk etc etc etc.

I've known about the main gentleman's (Watkin Tudor Jones) various acts for many years now.

Die Antwoord is just his first major internationally successful creation.

In my estimation the man is a brilliant artist. Anyone who takes Die Antwoord seriously needs their head checked - It's just an act, a creation, albeit an interesting and in your face one at times.

They are very well known, and as for well liked, it's pretty polarized, as you might expect.

I think you get it and don't think it is moronic.

Musically, it's not really my cup of tea, but I recognize it for what it is, and what it is is better than what 99% of humanity could ever produce themselves...

Ahhhh right.
I see.
Watkin Tudor Jones.

Mmmm...

I' a bit of a dumbsy.
Ok.

[penguinfromdeep]

I just don't like the music, I don't care about the msg or whatever ...

[monopoli]

Ahhhh right.
I see.
Watkin Tudor Jones.

Yes, look for Max Normal and Watkin Tudor Jones on youtube. There's a lot of material there; really funny and diverse. They are great

[Tricky-Loops]

Holy Zulu! How much body paint color do they need for their videos?

[cron]

World's greatest IRL trolls.

Yeah, the jump from Max Normal to Ninja is pretty profound. Have fond memories of watching Max Normal back in the summer of 2001. I'm gettin' old

I'd like their "genius" explained to me.

I wouldn't say 'genius' but this one was funny:
