Posted by Eric Grandy on Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 10:09 AM

Step aside, Brokencyde and Attack! Attack!, and welcome the fresh horror of Die Antwoord's "Enter the Ninja":

(Does it make it better or worse that this one's supposed to be funny?)

Don't hate, this shit is real.

Yeah, that's being a bit dismissive and presumptuous if you ask me. Lots more info out there: http://www.thedailymaverick.co.za/articl…

Die Antwoord is fake: http://bit.ly/9unAjI

Do we care? Does it stop "Ei-yi-yiii-I-Am-Your-Butterfly" from getting stuck in our heads? I say no.

Is that a kid with Progeria in a rap video? That would be a first for me!

It's not exactly "Sexy Bicycle" now is it ...

WOW! the cool kids at the stranger don't like this? THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!!!

At first i thought this was horrible, then after watching some of the other Die Antwoord videos that people posted links too..(thanks!) I think its fucking awesome!
Don't take your selves or Die Antwoord too seriously folks.

Fuck yeah, I love these guys. They've been around in some form for awhile. Check out MaxNormal too.

earlier today we were discussing how bands like Brokencyde were supposed to herald the end of the decade and an overdose of irony that effectively killed it off. apparently we were very wrong.

@T-Bone - Too right! That is Leon Botha. At 24, the oldest surviving progeria sufferer in the world. He is a Cape Town-based artist and good friend of the members of Die Antwoord.

You can see a recent TV insert about him and the other South African progeria sufferer Beandre Booysen here: http://beta.mnet.co.za/carteblanche/Arti… Inspirational man. Truly.

Zef-rap rules. Fok ja!
