Pitchfork 'pans' Die Antwoord, gives their broke ass a 5.5


Die Antwoord
U were a buzz meme
but now ur dead
P4k 'h8s yall'
5.5
That's like a 2.0 in 2k3
Yall are effed

Have a bad feeling abt ur first week album sales
Not gonna be pretty
If ur not 'critically relevant'
and u don't 'sell units'
Who is ur fan base?
Blogs that still try to market u as a 'fresh, zany, kewl meme band'?
Not gonna last (those glory days are already over)

Die Antwoord were always a group of musicians of course, but chances are you didn't first hear about them because of their music. More likely, you first encountered them as a viral video, a meme, a performance art collective, a joke that left you searching for the punchline, or some combination of the above. Hell, when we first profiled the group, it was under the headline "Who the Hell Are Die Antwoord?"

Sorry Ninja/Yolandi.
Yall are effed
probs gonna get dropped by ur major label
and get picked up by a decent 'indie' label
Ur best bet is honestly to brand urself as an 'amazing live act'
and sorta play the hybrid M.I.A. / Weird Al Yankovich scene

Die Antwoord try here and often fail, for some of the same reasons that the concepts themselves are confusing-- they're a jumble sale of mixed-up ideas and items. Ironically, Ninja and Yo-Landi's vast array of skills betray them here, and songs too often feel overstuffed or schizophrenic.

5.5?
r u kidding me?
Feel like ur lucky to even get this blog post
I wipe my ass with 5.5 sheets of toilet paper
after an uneventful poop

Still waiting for the album
that requires 10.0 squares of toilet paper
possibly even a 'baby wipe' to wipe my ass

Is Die Antwoord 'effed'?
Does Die Antwoord 'blow'?
Is 5.5 like a 1.0 in standardized P4k scores?
R u glad Die Antwoord is finally dead, or do u want more Yolandi breasteses coverage?
Do u think they have an issue because Ninja looks like a 50 year old dude and isn't really 'kewl' 2 young kids?
Do u think authentic black rappers h8 Die Antwoord?
Does the failure of the Die Antwoord experiment prove that u can't turn a meme into a relevant band?
