Die Antwoord

Kold · 01-04-2010 12:03PM #1

the other day I got the Ziggurat by the Constructus Corporation and I couldn't get over the weirdness but coolness of that album so I searched up the MC (Waddy Jones aka a bunch of other alias') and it turns out he's fronting a fairly big viral project at the moment, Die Antwoord.

Surprised I hadn't heard of this, it's so f*cking odd that it's really sort of cool. South African hip hop that's an open parody of itself but I think it's pretty class. The blonde chick with the f*cked up hair is weirdly attractive too. Anyway, the site: http://www.dieantwoord.com/

and just in case you were going to write off his actual MCing skills, here's the Constructus Corporation

I love that track.

Yeah I've been listening to their album a whole lot since February, really didn't see them blowing up overnight like they did, one of the most interesting and original groups I've heard in a while. The album is quality, not a track on it I dont love.

Beat boy is actually one of the most impressive tracks I've heard in a good while, hilarious too.

This tune is quality.

Yo-Landi is his missus. Lucky man that. They have a 16yr old daughter, if I remember corrctly. Yeah, he's an old man. I remember watching him when he was with The Original Evergreen, at 206 Live in Johannesburg, back in '94 or so. Sweet memories. Next level beats, rof befokt kwaai.

F*cking excellent tune.

I was drawn to them because they performed live with Aphex Twin over the weekend which is a wierd one given that I dont think he ever had any vocalists accompanying his live sets.

Here's a video but bad quality. But at least you hear the lyrics moreso than the music.

I'm finding them strangely addictive, very very catchy tunes, lovely production and yeah, Yo-Landi Vi$$er would definitely get it

Ireland meets Africa, Jaysus!
Classy track

Prior to Constructus Corp and Die Antwoord, Waddy went by the moniker "Max Normal". Some killer stuff from then. Many nights out at Carfax in Johannesburg with Max Normal, Sibot and Redwood killing eardrums!

And then, to blow ya's kecks straight off, Waddy's original group "The Original Evergreen" from back in the 90's (When he went by "Watkin Tudor Jones"). A staple of my High School years. POWER!

This is such a great tune. Where did you get the album by the way? I got mine in Tower years ago, with the hard-back graphic novel and blank disc for the extra content. Just wondering if it's been reissued on the back of Die Antwoord.

Their daughter was named Sixteen and is around 5 years old. Yo-Landi is only rumoured to be around 28 herself so I can't see why anyone could see her having a kid when she was only 12!

Jaysus wept, I stand corrected. Naming your child 'sixteen'. Yer one must be on heavy meds

Still, when it comes to Yo-Landi, I'd 'naai her fokken stukkend'. 'nuff said!

What an absolute rip off of John Murphy. I really hope they had permission to sample it and didn't just steal it.

Album has leaked.

Release notes:

NINJA didn't do very good at school because all he did the whole time was write
raps and smoke zol. After NINJA lied and cheated his way through high school, he
moved to Alexandra Township in Johannesburg to smoke zol with the rastas. NINJA
stayed in Alexandra in 19th Street down by the river for a few years living off
boiled cabbage and zol. During this time NINJA started a rap group called The
Original Evergreens which had a heavy stoned alien rastas in space vibe. The
Original Evergreen even won a South African Music Award for this one fokken
stupid stoner song called Puff The Magik.

After NINJA moved out of Alex he moved around a lot lamming from couch to couch
and bumming off people while he tried to think of more stoned rap ideas.

From time to time NINJA moved back home to his mom and dad's house for a nice
hot shower and some lekker munchies.

NINJA has known YO-LANDI VI$$ER for a very long time from when she was a little
laaitie. One day when NINJA moved back home with his mom & dad again he saw that
little YO-LANDI from next door had grown some boobs and a nice bum. Then NINJA
had a baby with YO-LANDI by accident.
NINJA and YO-LANDI are not married. They are just good friends. YO-LANDI likes
to do her own thing and doesn't like people telling her what to do.

Smoking so much weed all the time made NINJA think of all these stupid ideas for
rap groups like fokken Max Normal, Constructus, Markus Wormstorm Is Not Gay, MC
Totally Rad and DJ Fu*k are Fu*knRad, The Way of the Dassie, Total Confusion on
Planet Phunk, Total Fu*k Up etc etc. NINJA even got so stoned one day that he
started to make cute little soft toys with magic powers. NINJA forced YO-LANDI
to help him make hundreds of these fokken toys by hand to try get some money to
buy diapers. None of NINJA'S stoned ideas ever blew up, so time after time he
would throw them in the trash and try again.

NINJA'S name used to be Waddy Jones. One day Waddy Jones did something really
fokken stupid. Like a total fokken doos, Waddy dressed in full military
camouflage and took a djembe drum and a big sack of weed with him to a Legalize
Marajuana protest outside the steps of parliament in Cape Town. Waddy arrived at
the Legalize Marajuana protest early to get a good seat. The police had even
made a nice little fence around the area where all the irie protestors could
sit. Waddy was rolling himself a lekker duk zol as the other irie protestors
slowly started pulling into the little fenced area to make their protest. About
20 irie protestors pitched up including the organizer of the protest who had
even brought along a big weed plant to give to Nelson Mandela as a present. Then
all-of-a-sudden 5 big armour-plated Caspers pulled in filled with about 100
fokken cops who arrested Waddy Jones and all the other irie protestors sitting
inside the little fence. When Waddy got out of jail, he changed his name to
NINJA and suddenly got much better at rapping.

Soon after this NINJA went to go visit his homeboy DJ HI-TEK who makes fat
gang$ta rap beats on his PC Computer in his bedroom. DJ HI-TEK had also got much
better at making beats while NINJA was in jail. So NINJA and DJ HI-TEK joined
forces and tried think of a spif name for their new zef gang$ta rap group they
were going to start. DJ HI-TEK got the idea to get a sexy chick to join the
group to make it more commercial. So NINJA started to train little YO-LANDI
VI$$ER to rap. During her ninja rap training YO-LANDI got the idea to add some
rave vibes to their tjoons make their zef rap group more even more next level.

NINJA, YO-LANDI and DJ HI-TEK discovered DIE ANTWOORD when their 3rd eyes got
opened at this rave they threw at NINJA'S parent's house this one time when
NINJA'S parents went on holiday to Sun City. The whole experience was so fokken
next level that they are even making a movie about it called THE ANSWER. You are
soon going to be able to go watch THE ANSWER on the big screen with popcorn,
Coke and M&M'S and maybe even a free NINJA, YO-LANDI VI$$ER or DJ HI-TEK toy!

DJ HI-TEK is scared of flying, and so he doesn't always perform live with DIE
ANTWOORD. Luckily DJ HI-TEK'S little cousin, VUILGEBOOST aka HI-TEK JUNIOR has
some serious DJ skillz and so when DJ HI-TEK is not in the mix, VUILGEBOOST
freaks the beats live with DIE ANTWOORD zef rap-rave crew.

NINJA'S name is NINJA. If you see NINJA in the streets act like you know. Don't
act like a poes and call him some other name.

DJ HI-TEK has just broken up with his girlfriend again. The man is single and
ready to mingle so if you see HI-TEK in da club come give him a hug!

YO-LANDI VI$$ER'S rat recently had 10 babies. They are all growing up so fast!

Whether you like it or not DIE ANTWOORD are here to stay. They are about to drop
their 1st album called $O$ on Interscope fokken Records, then their 2nd album
called TEN$ION, then their 3rd album, then their 4th album and then their 5th
album. Full fokken flex! Fre$! Mega-zef!
Go! In your fokken face b*tch.

Enjoy!

Is it the same as the leak I downloaded 6 or 7 months ago or is there a difference?

Makaveli · 03-10-2010 01:13PM

Better quality rip, less tracks.

Shapey Fiend · 04-10-2010 05:14PM

I love these guys. Next level beats brah is right. They remind me a bit of DSG (Norn Irish/Scottish crew)

I have the EP called "5". Is this a new version of $O$ that we're talking about leaking? Not seeing it.

Makaveli · 04-10-2010 06:32PM

Yeah it's the retail. Official release date is October 11th.

Unsinnig · 11-10-2010 12:24PM

54 seconds.....listen to what he is saying, and look at the bird licking her lips

Kold · 11-10-2010 04:55PM

The video really is something but the track is far from their best. Fancied something like a full Beat Boy video. Those lyrics are f*cking... well... I don't even know how to describe them.

Is that track on the album? If so, are there many new tracks that weren't on the leak?

Shapey Fiend · 11-10-2010 05:05PM

Just reading there apparently he is actually rapping about tribal circumcision.. maybe.
