Last week, a new viral sensation 'hit the internet.' It is some rap group from South Africa, and no1 was able to tell whether or not they were 'real.' Does n e 1 know what the deal with Die Antwoord is? Not sure if they are ternative, post-TheStreets/eminem indie rap, or just some meme that was packaged by a high priced marketing firm who paid a huge tastemaker to blog about them.
Watched some rap video that was supposed to be a 'raw profile' of them. Only really feel confused. Not in a way that makes me want to 'share the video in my facebook feed and say that it is awesome', but in a way that makes me wish I had never seen it. Wish these South African bros had never entered my realm of relevant awareness. It seems like they got more coverage than the buzziest buzz band in the history of the world.
It seems like a zany meme that would be shared by people who say the word 'interwebs.' Can't believe the mid/early-00s design aesthetic is already 'retro-ironic.'
Feel sorta confused by Die Antwoord. I wonder if they will be the type of band that 'opens up for Kanye West/Radiohead', or if they will be more like the band Aqua who sang the hit song "Barbie Girl."
I was scared by the bro with progeria in this video, but maybe the progeria personal brand will catch on in the 2k10s.
I feel like the most captivating part of Die Antwoord is probably the broad with the progressive bangs. She is like a progressive sexual figure. Some 1 who you want to have conceptual sex with.
Hopefully Feist / Zooey Deschanel and other 'indie broads' cut their bangs into a progressive post-Tegan and Sara style.
Seems like it might all just be a joke, and Ali G is going to 'sue the fuck out of them.' Maybe they will transition into some sort of Flight of the Conchords type of act and get a 'brilliant' HBO comedy show that showcases the lasting effects of apartheid on South Africa in a funny/insightful way.
Is there really a mass market for this type of 'rap' act?
Is South Africa the new Brooklyn?
Is this viral marketing for World Cup 2k10?
Is it even 'worth it' to 'search 4 answers' about Die Antwoord, or should we just let another meme cycle wash them away?
WTF is ternative?
What is marketing?
Should I get some progressive bangs?
Is Die Antwoord the alternative replication of Eiffel 65's "Blue"?
Or more like Aqua's "Barbie Girl"?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Remember Die Antwoord? Yeah, I forgot abt them, too. Had to catch up on their wikipedia 2 remember why they were even relevant, and I didn't get any answers. They 'went viral' because they exploited the white trash South African aesthetic, 'went viral', ppl thought they were talented, but then they realized that watching a 50 year old man with prison tats isn't that entertaining, and Yolandi 'might have ruined' her banging bod with implants from the 'best doctor in South Africa', which means that she probably got them from the American equivalent of a plastic surgeon in a strip mall right next to a Quizno's. I guess u gotta chase that fame.
ANyways, if u can recall, their first album 'tanked hard' sales-wise and buzz-wise. They were signed to an Interscope mega-deal, but then they sold even less albums than a chillwave artist because they didn't have a target market, just ppl who watched their videos on the internet. No1 wants to listen to that. So now they are trying to 'spin' that they are 'going solo' from their label to 'stay authentic', which basically means that they decided to bypass on the opportunity to sell albums, and instead will keep making crappy music that appeals to no1 and just 'looks weird.' The old guy will scream rhymes, Yolandi will have asymmetrical bangs and sing dumb lines, and their 10 fans will be happy. Congrats Die Antwoord.
Do u buy into the gimmick of 'pretending ur going indie' just because u failed and want to 'lower expectations'?
Earlier this morning, Boing Boing pointed out that South African rap crew Die Antwoord have parted ways with Interscope, their label home for the past 18 months. According to an entry on the group's blog, the move was sparked by their label's suggestion that forthcoming album, TEN$ION, sound "like everyone else out there at the moment. Not to be sassed or pushed around creatively, they responded thusly: "U know what, rather hang on to your money, buy yourself something nice...we gonna do our own thing. Bye bye." Kinda awesome. According to Billboard.biz, Interscope says the band and label are "currently in discussions."
The album will now be released digitally on their very own ZEF RECORDZ imprint, with a drop date yet to be announced or confirmed.
Does Yolandi look good?
Do u believe that they 'dropped their label'?
Will they be the last 'viral sensation' to 'get signed' by a misguided record label?
Was their gimmick 'ever cool'?
Is the gimmick 'totally stale' now?
Should they have just listened to the 'suits' at the label and gone mainstream?
Is it time to end this meme?
Should the buzzosphere have ever covered the South African juggalos?
Is Yolandi 'mad hot'?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Do u remember Leon Botha? I honestly didn't really. He was the guy in Die Antwoord who stood around in their music videos, and it was scary because he had progeria. I feel bad for him because Die Antwoord did everything they could to 'look weird' and 'using' a guy with progeria was one of their tactics [via 'freak show' vibes]. Feel bad for ppl with progeria. Watched some TLC documentary abt them one time. They don't ever really live a very long time, but u have to give props 2 Leon Botha for staying alive 4 a long ass time and getting 'moderately famous' even though the Die Antwoord album was horrible and no1 really knows what they are up 2 now.
Botha suffered from progeria, a rare degenerative disease that causes accelerated aging, distorted features, and limited growth. According to Mail & Guardian, Botha was "the oldest documented person living with the disease, which usually has a life expectancy in the teens."
I don't have any videos of Leon Botha, but here's every1's favourite progeria-wave juggalo Tsim Fuckis getting his pimp on.
Is Die Antwoord ever going 2 be relevant again?
R u happy that they 'crashed and burned'?
Will u miss Leon?
Do u have a soft spot in ur <3 for every1 with progeria?
Do u miss Yolandi Vissir's bangin' bod?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Die Antwoord is some South American/African Rap group that 'went viral' because they had some sillie music videos, then people thought we were supposed to take their music seriously and that they were artists who were gonna be around for a long time. Then they released an LP and no1 bought it and no1 really liked it, so I am not sure why they released this new music video for "Rich Bitch."
The video features 'front woman' Yolandi Vissir taking a huge crap on camera. Wonder if they 'crossed the line' just to be sensational. I feel like not that many people have poop and pee fetishes, so Die Antwoord 'struck out' again.
In addition, there are some bubbles covering her breasts in this one shot. I'm not sure what they are hiding. They have basically tried every gimmick possible, so all they really can do is release a Yolandi sex tape now.
Do yall <3 "Rich Bitch"?
Do u feel sad for Die Antwoord for not being taken seriously as artists?
Are Die Antwoords just 'not very good at rapping/producing hiphop'?
Should Yolandi go solo so she isn't paired with a kreepy bro with prison tatts?
Do u think whoever signed Die Antwoord to a major label deal has his 'head on the chopping block'?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Jack Black is a mainstream celeb who used to kinda be alt, but then after Chris Farley died, there was a high demand for a 'fat lil zany man', so Jack Black kinda 'crushed it' and starred in a bunch of kids comedies, dark comedies, and romantic comedies and he has really 'established his market share.
Anyways, Die Antwoord is a zany rap group from South Africa who was a meme, but then they released an album that sucked, and no1 cared about their meme any more, and they are kinda a failure, but will probably just play music festivals + get 'too much coverage' every time they release a music video where Yolandi shows off her titties.
Jack Black seems to have chilled with them backstage at a relevant show. Don't really care about the old ass bro in their band with the prison tats. Seems like he focused on 'getting rough' with Yolandi.
Worried that he is 'pulling her hair' for deviant reasons, like he is all 'I'm famous, u want me, right?' Worried he is gonna try 2 choke her out.
I know Yolandi is 'hot' or whatever, but srsly disturbed...
Hope she is okay....
Wonder if Jackie Blackie took her 2 pound town.
See yall at the school of rocks, yall.
Is Jack Black the right mix of 'alt' and 'mainstream'?
Is he 'trying 2 hard' by being in2 Die Antwoord?
Is Tenacious D a 'terrible product/buzzband'?
Would Jack Black be as funnie if he lost 30-60 lbs?
What is Jack Black's greatest film?
Was it unchill 4 Jack Black 2 try 2 'choke out' Yolandi?
Would u care abt Die Antwoord if Yolandi wasn't a slutwaver?

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?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Yolandi is the slutwave songstress in the South African rap group Die Antwoord. Even though their music blows, it still seems worth it to 'cover' them because bros think that Yolandi is sexi and she usually wears slutty lil outfits, so that's chill. Welcome 2 showbiz, Yolanda. Do u feel the pressure 2 be beautiful all the time?
Anyways, just saw this picture of her 'from the side', and it seems like her breasts are 'enormous.' She is such a small lil girl, really thinking she might have 'fake b00bies' just 2 appeal to more ppl. Worried abt her. Hope she doesn't feel the pressure 2 'have huge titties' but still be skinny.
Googled 4 an old picture of her from what looks like a South African ghetto. She seems 'natural', humble.
Do yall prefer tig ol bitties or lil tatas?
Is Yolandi 'effing hot'?
Are u able to easily tell when girls get breast implants?
Are breast implants 'effing hot' [via pornographic images]?
Will Yolandi's breast implants rupture if she crowd surfs?
Is Die Antwoord's music hella boring/disgraceful?

Yolandi Visser is a rapper in South African meme rap group Die Antwoord.
I am not sure why people are 'sooo in2' Die Antwoord. I think it is sort of like be an 'alternative rap music fan' or something. U don't want to say u like mainstream African American black rappers, so u get more in2 South African non-American white rappers. Anyways, Die Antwoord = lame, and here are a few lamestreamers who made 'custom hoodies' 2 look like their fave band. Seem like they just bought some white hoodies and a black Sharpie marker, then had a doodle fest.
Not sure if this says they are 'fans' or that Die Antwoord has a poopy aesthetic. Really feel like Die Antwoord hasn't brought anything 2 the table since their meme that they entered the market with.
Do u think they look keut? Is it weird that the black girl wants 2 be Yolandi? Is that impossible unless she bleaches her skin [via Mike Jaxon]?
Have yall ever dressed like ur fave band 2 go to their show? Do u h8 lamestreamers who want to prove that they are 'authentic fans' of a band?
Do u h8 Super Fans?
Is Die Antwoord 'overrated' as a band/rappers/zany meme sound project?
Have u ever gone to a Vampire Weekend concert dressed as Vampire Weekend?
Have u ever gone 2 a MGMT concert dressed as MGMT?
Have u ever gone 2 a slipknot concert dressed as slipknot?
Have u ever gone 2 a Girls Concert dressed as Girls?
Have u ever gone 2 an Ariel Pink concert dressed as Ariel Pink?
Have u ever gone 2 a Neon Indian concert dress as Neon Indians?
Have yall ever gone 2 a korn concert dressed as Limp Bizk Fred Durst?
Have u ever gone 2 a _________ concert dress as ______________?
Just watched this 'new video' by Die Antwoord. Really don't care abt this band/rap group, but they went viral like a year ago for being zany white trash people from a Third World country. This video sorta makes me sad for all the people that 'took them seriously', saying they had mad game, represented a new cultural movement, and would be around for a long time. Clearly, they are just 'in it to meme', don't care about quality, and are just trying to be outlandish as possible. Don't care if their brands are outlandish, just in the modern American meme environment, this kinda stuff is just gimmicky. Wonder if they are gonna 'sell mad albums' or if they already peaked as a meme/ecommerce brand that can sell crap.
All I know is that Yolandi Visser took off her top, showed off her titties, and didn't have any nipples for some reason. Seems to have mouths where her nipples should be. Rlly confused. Used to sort of think she was 'hot' but now worried her breasts will 'bite off' my peen of they go near her.
Would u still 'tittie fuck' her or r u scared?
Then Diplo was there and he was all 'Hey I'm dressed like Die Antwoord.'
Then black ppl were like 'hey we're dressed like the white rappers'
Then Yolandi was like 'hey i have a zany rat coat'
Just like 'Cmon Die Antwoord. We get it. Ur from South Africa. Ur zany. U spit fast rhymes. Kewl'
Is Die Antwoord a meme that went over-viral?
Is Die Antwoord a 'legitimate artist/band/rap duo'?
Did Diplo tarnish his brand by producing their song?
Is Yolandi still 'mad hot', or are u 'over' her?
Do yall hope people stop buying into this Die Antwoord crap?
Are the people who think Kanye West is 'real art' the same ppl who are like 'Die Antwoord is the effing shit, yall'?

Jake Gyllenhaal is a mainstream actor who 'tore up the scene' when he starred in the hit cult indie film Donnie Darko. When the movie came out, tons of people were like 'this is hella deep', but now every1 is sorta like 'that was lame'/'what the eff was going on in that film?' Eventually Jakey Wakey went on to star in Brokeback Mountain with deceased bro Heath Ledger, a movie about 2 twinks searching for meaning, back when 'twinks' weren't socially acceptable/possibly didn't even exist.
In a recent interview, they ask him 'what bands he is into.' The first band that he mentions is 'Vampire Weekend,' the former indie band which is arguably one of the top 10 bands in the world right now. He names a few other random/shitty bands, then starts to laugh as he summons up energy for an 'oddball recommendation', and tells the general public to check out the zany South African rap group Die Antwoord.
R u gonna check out these buzzbands?
Should Jake Gyllenhaal start a 'music blog' for the hype machine?
Feel like this was a 'very mainstream post', like the same as posting a video of Gwyneth Paltrow talking about how Coldplay is her favourite band.
What is Jake Gyllenhaal's best movie?
Is Jake Gyllenhaal an altbro?
Is this 'inconsequential' because he is just talking about 'mainstream shit'?
Do u think Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal jammed out to Vampire Weekend's first album when they were filming The Dark Knight?
Who is more authentic: Jake or Maggie?
Do people 'really' like Die Antwoord or were they just a well-presented meme?
Should Jake Gyllenhaal start a chillwave sound project called "Jake ChillinHaal" or "Jake ChillinHard"?
Vampire Weekend is a popular indie buzzband that is kinda mainstream and ppl always say 'they're s00 preppy.'
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Does Ninja, the rapper guy from the South African Rap Group Die Antwoord look exactly like Jeremy Scott (the popular, progressive designer + Los Angeles socialite legend)?
Which 1 of these bros seems more chill?
Who owns the right to their look?
Do all white people look the same?
Will Jeremy Scott make more money from fashion than Die Antwoord will make from music?
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
In a previous post [link], a group of drunk bitches claimed to 'run Los Angeles.' In the vlog, they made many claims about their party lifestyle. They inspired numerous 'internet haters' to come out in full force, claiming that the girls were just 'a stereotype' and falsely claiming to be relevant / coke dealers / 'the shit.'
A video of these two drunk girls partying with Yolandi from Die Antwoord was released on youtube, perhaps an 'eff u' to all of the people who thought that they didn't run LA. In the video, the two girls seem to really be 'bro-ing down' with Yolandi Visser in a way that only girls can. A total tipsy giggle-fest while listening 2 great tunes and drinking free alcohol.
Is Coachella a place where u can meet all of your favourite alternative celebrities, and they will be 'totally kewl' with u?
Have you ever gone up to an alternative celebrity, and had them truly 'get' u?
Will Die Antwoord sell records?
Have u ever been buzzed at a relevant Coachella Pool Party?
Did u go 2 the Anthem Party?
Do u get buzzed on free alcohol at relevant industry parties?
Do these Drunk Galz run LA?
Who runs LA?
Yolandi Visser is a rapper in South African meme rap group Die Antwoord.
This picture of Die Antwoord, the South African viral meme rap sensation recently emerged on Diplo's twitter feed. This picture serves as some sort of marketing / personal branding meme. We can only assume that Diplo will 'produce the shit' out of 2-10 Die Antwoord tracks to make them highly bloggable/authentic. We cannot confirm that Die Antwoord will be bigger than M.I.A.
Will Diplo turn Die Antwoord alt / mainstream?
Is Diplo mainstream?
Is Die Antwoord mainstream?
Will Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear produce a Die Antwoord track?
Can we assume that Diplo shared a 'night of passion' with Yolandi?
Is Die Antwoord destined for a zany Tim and Eric video?
Will Die Antwoord automatically receive above an 8.5 from Pitchfork?
Diplo is a relevant alt DJ and producer.
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Interscope is a large mainstream label. Die Antwoord is a rap group from South Africa that 'went viral.' The mainstream label Interscope 'signed' Die Antwoord, since they don't really have to invest that much 2 market the group.
Can't believe Die Antwoord is the buzziest buzz band in the history of the world:
Die Antwoord became a living meme of unprecedented velocity, propelled into global megawebstardom faster than any act I've ever seen. Ninja tells me that in addition to shaking hands with Interscope, District 9 helmer Neill Blomkamp plans to direct Antwoord's next music video, they'll likely be performing at the Coachella festival, and a film is in the works.
Sort of wonder if Boing Boing is the new Pitchfork, since they basically 'created' Die Antwoord, and they recently debuted the MGMT album art. Wonder if Boing Boing was paid 'mad bank' to blog about this meme.
Wonder if 'going viral' is the only way for new artists 2 emerge in the modern world:
He [Ninja] says Die Antwoord is in LA for the first time. He's joined by his creative partner Yolandi Visser (who's sleeping in this morning, upstairs in the hotel), and their "consigliere" Jay.
"When we did the big meeting with Interscope, Jimmy Iovine was telling me all about how badly their business has been harmed by the internet," Ninja says, sipping black coffee. " I can understand that but I said, 'Jimmy, I want to give you a piece of samurai advice: Become the enemy."
Sorta just want to see progressive bangs, but not listen to their music.
Do yall care about Die Antwoord, or since they are a meme, is it chill to just forget about them + move on to a new meme of the week?
Would this be the same as giving Tay Zonday a record deal?
Will Die Antwoord ever be taken seriously as artists, or will any1 who ever mentions them just talk about how they 'went viral' but are now trying to prove themselves' as authentic rappers?
Was Die Antwoord a forced meme, and should the alternative blogosphere stop 'covering' them now that it is clear that they are a marketing gimmick?
Were u ever tricked by Die Antwoord, thinking they were an authentic meme darling?
R I P Die Antwoord. U were a good meme.
Die Antwoord is some rap group from South Africa that became a popular meme, but then no1 bought their album.
Die Antwoord is a popular rap group from South Africa. The recently 'went viral', gaining attention from numerous media outlets and blogs all around the world. Even though they seem like a deliberately marketed product, it will be interesting to track their path to the mainstream as directed by their PR firm / brand manager / band manager.
Die Antwoord played their first US show at Cinespace in Los Angeles. Cinespace is widely known as one of the most important electro clubs of the blog house era. The performance was apparently a 'secret show', which was intended to generate buzz throughout the internet. At the moment, the footage captured seems mediocre, but it still seems 'worth blurbing about', since 2k10 is all about finding new content/bands to cover.

Should Die Antwoord have brought the female from their band to America in order to make the event feel more complete?
Should I have gone 2 Dim Mak Tuesdays so I could see the most important US debut since the Beatles?
Is Die Antwoord in the USA recording a new record?
Will they do a USA tour?
Will Die Antwoord be able to be more than just an internet meme?

Is Die Antwoord gonna 'make it' or are they just a viral meme gimmick?
Is this 'secret show' the perfect way to generate strategically organic buzz?
Is Cinespace still a relevant alt hangout?
Is Ninja from Die Antwoord already a level 1 Alt Celeb?

Many web critics and famous twitters 'talked mad shit' about Rihanna over the past week since her video for the song "Rude Boy" 'totally ripped off' the M.I.A. aesthetic. It seems like people want to protect M.I.A. and her perceived authenticity in alternative circles, even though she is a mainstream artist now.
Many music fans feel that Rihanna is unoriginal and only marginally talented, usually using autotune to mask her weak voice. It seems like she has a 'slammin ethnic bod', but is ultimately too stupid/uneducated to develop her own concept. She is a young human, and probably cannot come up with her own concepts. However, due to her notoriety, she is a viable outlet through which mp3s and merch can be sold.
M.I.A. - Boys
M.I.A. - Galang
Watching the video for M.I.A.'s "Galang" makes you think of when she was still 'fresh', and her product was differentiated.
M.I.A. album art aesthetic
It also seems like Rihanna's video rips off Die Antwoord based on this screen shot.
Will M.I.A. ever top her pregnancy meme?
In the 2k10s, will more artists attempt to be like M.I.A.?
Will some1 'beat up' Rihanna 2 'put her in her place'?
Are mainstream and black artists unoriginal?
Do all mainstream ideas come from authentic alt ideas?
If M.I.A. looked less 'ethnic' and more 'exotic', would Rihanna even exist?
Is this a 'nonstory'?
M.I.A. is known for thinking that the American government is out 2 get her.
