Die Antwoord

There’s a new sound blowing up in the Kaapse Afrikaanse hip hop community. Imagine some dirty electro 80s style beats and some simple-yet-catchy synth. Then throw in some of the filthiest and funniest lyrics you’ve ever heard, at the same time poignant and dripping with irony and you’re getting close to what Die Antwoord is producing, under the billing of a zef rap-rave crew. So rof are some of the lyrics that, frankly, you need to take a bath after listening to it...
Mahala: What is Die Antwoord?
NINJA: Die Antwoord is the name of my zef Zuid Afrikaanse rap-rave crew.
Mahala: How did Die Antwoord come about?
NINJA: Die Antwoord was always there hiding in the dark waiting for me to find it.
Mahala: A song like Dagga Puff has a strong and direct social message and comes across as a kind of nursery rhyme - and it’s obvious you’re trying to make a point and change the habits of your audience, or at least make them think more. Then other songs like Doos Dronk with Francois - take more subtle, tongue in cheek digs at our alcoholic culture. Same with Scopie - taking on sex. Are you trying to make a point. Or do you just want people to dance to your music, get fucked and then go home and pomp?
NINJA: Yes.
Mahala: How do you feel when your audience does not connect with the meaning of your music - and thinks that some of these ‘ironic’ songs are intentional. As if Die Antwoord is to get fucked up and have sex and live to buy expensive kak.
NINJA: Different people find Die Antwoord in different things.
Mahala: You said in the interview with Griffin on the Watkykjy website that you like coloured people. From your music it sounds like you are coloured, but from that statement, I take it you’re not. Are you pretending to be coloured?...
