Still trying to piece together just what the fuck this be about... but whatever it is: Power to the people. At first my goal was to figure out if I genuinely liked this madness, or rather, if I simply listened for the novelty such an outlandish act brings out. (i.e. Sage Francis coming on stage in a Jedi robe to spit a mouthful of water on the front-row hoppers). Nonetheless, Die Antwoord, Afrikaans for "The Answer," certainly have put together a unique formula... the answer will come once this electric worldwide-hype subsides. But since my early introduction a few days ago, I've zefinitely decided these South African rats got some next level, full-flex business to handle; like opening for the Cape Town World Cup this summer. Yes, I'm certifiably serious... Or insane.
With some A-grade expert quality shit, Ninja, Yolandi and Hi-Tek perfectly demonstrate the 21st century ability for anyone to make music; to express themselves in whatever twisted mentality they please. My personal mind-state can barely comprehend the bustin' dance moves in Pink Floyd boxershorts to hyphed-up rhymes about ninjas and 'zef-style' only to be topped off with a progerian survivor avatar interchanged frequently with unspoken producer DJ Hi-Tek. Wait...what?!? Just peep the videos on my interwebz, man. These fools got mad zef-appeal which got me mad hyped for the US tour. P.E.A.C.E.
