Yolandi and Ninja before Die Antwoord

This is what Yolandi Visser and Ninja were up to before finding The Answer!

DIE ANTWOORD - Taking over the interwebz!

Holy shit these guys are nuts. Crazy rap trio (sometimes a quartet with local artist Leon Botha) from Cape Town that love to smoke big phat spliffs, my bru. I'm not sure how to sum it up, but you can check out their album for free on the net and get an idea for yourself. MC and leader, NINJA, spits raucous rhymes in an incomprehensible tone and language. You can look up the lyrics, only to be mesmerized by how much of it is actually in English. Then you have the "fresh, futuristic bitch" (gorgeous) YOLANDI followed by beatmaker DJ HI-TEK (no, not Talib's Hi-Tek, might be some issues down the line...). Check out this interview with Ninja and Yolandi to get a better idea of what they...uh...erm...represent...



Luckily for us, they've posted their entire album on Youtube. Here are a couple of the faves:

Die Antwoord - Beat Boy


Die Antwoord - Enter The Ninja


Die Antwoord - Wat Pomp


Die Antwoord - Dagga Puff


Die Antwoord - Liewe Maatjies


Die Antwoord - $copie


Die Antwoord - $copie (Live)


And if S. Africa couldn't get any better, check this out. A live performance in a taxi...This doesn't happen in the states, folks! Only thing that comes to mind is this. Anyways:



So show your support by watching the vids over and over again so we can get them over here and have them teach some of our own performers a thing or two. Now in traditional DRINKMUSIK fashion, a short picture tribute to the immensely gorgeous Yolandi Visser!
