I cant stop listening to his tune. The group is apparently a South African "rave crew" and this music is a new genre of music called Zev. Have other people heard these guys?

    I ride.

    I still haven't decided if that chick is attractive or not, though.

    This is cool shit:

    "Die Antwoord" is Afrikaans for "the answer"

    Moss sent this to me a little while ago - I couldn't get through it at all....like not past the first 2 minutes.
    I kinda can't stand either party responsible for this. But some of you nerds might enjoy it.

    Die Antwoord and Harmony Korine

    kind of a spinal tap of the white trash poverty rave something or other...I remember a link to pics of them in some improv comedy/acting troupe

    sorry, but mega, mega :latte:

    also, Harvey, how are they so different from 99% of the material you post, beside their accents and the BPM (and in this case, not even the BPM)? These kids, after all, are joking -- this is "performance art". Ain't really my cup of tea sonically, but their aesthetic is kind of great.

    massive latte pass, soulstrut thread-wise and in life.

    and it's horrible.

    How is a trash beat with trash non-rapping not as good as a quality beat with quality rapping on it?

    Is that really what you are asking me?

    I'd be more interested to hear how you feel they are similar.

    They would make great extra's in a Guy Richie flick. The 3 great qualities: Weird, Gold & UG-LY!

    Subjective and opinion never went together so well.

    dude.

    you pick one thing you're liking, out of the numerous flagrant videos you've posted here over the years. is this representative of everything to which you've tried to bring attention?

    A buddy of mine tried to turn me on to these guys about 6-7months ago. I thought it was some kind of comedy routine. The Weird Al comment was appropriate.

    NOT :feelin_it:

  • This is what Interscope calls hip-hop these days.

  • Bunch of upscale designers posing like they're proper white trash.

    Sounds like a 1990's house beat, with Alvin and the Chipmunks on top, with a drug addict looking dude shouting "fokking fokking fokking"

    They're terrible.

    If you're going South African Rap-esque music go Jack Parow, at least he's funny.

    It was the last thing I posted in the Rap I'm Liking thread. And yeah, it's very representative of the aesthetic I'm into as a fan of Texas rap. Scarface->Z-Ro->Killa Cal Wayne. I don't know why you think, and I'm making an assumption here, that I'm instead into generic ATL-styled kiddy rap...but that just ain't me.

    afrikaans is Dutch for "we were going the wrong way and made a mistake; none of this should have happened"

    this track is even worse than the antwoord-diplo video...

  • KineticKinetic 3,739 Posts
    90% of the appeal of this for me is the accent. But yeah... I know how you yanks don't like listening to stuff that doesn't sound like you!

    I'm going to watch this, even though I should probably just look away...

    You should know these guys were probably created by some ad agency two years ago to breathe new life into some stale local act and promote south africa as hip and happening around the World Cup in 2010 - its all art direction and concept. - theyll be endorsing jagermeister or puma or some shit soon and already have a line of toys out.

    that chick is kinda weird/scary/nice tho.

    without a doubt.

    and definitely not a good look to be drooling over that girl.
    she looks like a 12 year old with fake boobs and a bowl/mullet hybrid
