I’m thinking of just wearing my underpants and takkies. They say in business class everything is free.
#ENTER THE NINJA VIDEO MOVIE#
It’s nicer to watch a movie instead of speaking about it. It’s the story of how Die Antwoord started. You’ve expressed interest in having Neill Blomkamp make the Die Antwoord movie. My favorite work we’ve done with Leon are the dark little short films we made that are hiding in the SECRET CHAMBER on our interwebsite. Leon is a cool performer, and so we asked him if he wanted to be in the “Enter the Ninja” video with us and he said cool.

Solarize, and he often opens for us when Die Antwoord perform live. Leon is also a jedi mind-fuck scratch D.J. He has the biggest collection of nineties underground rap albums I have ever seen in my life. What’s your relationship with Leon Botha? I like the way she hid her skills from her master. The girl ninja from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was quite spif. When I was a boy, I wanted to be a Ninja. What does “ninja” symbolize to you? Who’s your favorite ninja of all time? In South Africa we speak English and sometimes Afrikaans, sometimes Zulu, sometimes Xhosa. Why do you rap in English? Why did you select an Afrikaans name? This is not a barrier that concerns us, because as you may have noticed, we have fucked this barrier in the face.

White rappers still have a hard time gaining credibility in the U.S. It means someone does not know what they are talking about. You’ve been frequently described as “white trash.” Do you accept that term? What does it mean to you?

We made them with some friends who all worked for free ‘cause they love our music. Where did the financing for your music videos come from? What can people expect from your live shows? How have things changed for you guys in day-to-day life? Is changing the international perception of South Africa important to you? Have you been reading everything that’s been written about you online?ĭo you hope the attention you’ve gotten will spread to your peers in South Africa? Is there a lively cultural scene around you that has been ignored internationally?įok, I actually don’t know what’s going on with anything in this place.

It was a full moon on the third of February 2010 when everyone started freaking out. It popped out the slime bunny about a year ago, but we’ve only been popular for about three weeks now.ĭo you have any sense why the band blew up when it did? What makes now the right time for Die Antwoord? How long were you performing as Die Antwoord before you began getting international attention?ĭie Antwoord was in the oven for about five years. Our e-mail interview with the group doesn’t really get to the bottom of things, but it does feature the phrase “popped out the slime bunny.” (By the way, we know this is like a million jillion years late in Internet time, but we sent our questions a while ago, and their representative, Dirk the Oracle, just got back to us.) Zef is the next level.” But because Ninja has performed under different personae, it was then assumed Die Antwoord was an elaborate prank if that’s the case, we salute his commitment to a strangely enticing character. They’re the self appointed representatives of South African zef culture, something they’ve explained as “the ultimate style … our full flex … like on the video game, when you reach the next level. They blew up early last month after Boing Boing posted their “Zef Side” and “Enter the Ninja” videos, slickly produced clips featuring Ninja’s unique, slang-heavy flow, his bandmate Yo-Landi Vi$$er’s creepy soprano, and their friend and progeria victim Leon Botha. Just like the rest of the Internet, we’ve been totally captivated by Die Antwoord, the South African oddball rap group fronted by a guy named Ninja with an awesome haircut and some terrible tattoos.
