Her hook on вЂњEnter the NinjaвЂќ is a prime example of how Die Antwoord can scare you, confuse you and have you singing along to their songs at the same time. As scary as they are, theyвЂ™re strangely enticing at the same time. Yo-Landi Vi$$ar provides hooks that sound like they came straight out of a horror movie. When you listen to what heвЂ™s saying, you start to realize that Ninja is cleverer with his rhymes than most American rappers. His lyrics are all over the place, making the songs unpredictable and fun whether heвЂ™s talking about being in the club in his underpants, being a ninja or making obscure references to Zulu mythology, he never misses a beat. Sometimes itвЂ™s hard to tell if heвЂ™s speaking in Afrikaans slang or English, but, more often than not, it doesnвЂ™t really matter. Ninja (Watkin Tudor Jones), the main rapper, has a flow that jumps around, skipping, stuttering and slurring words like a South African Yelawolf. If you get past how weird Die Antwoord is, it becomes clear that theyвЂ™re pretty talented. Plus, they actually make some pretty good music. TheyвЂ™re goofy, theyвЂ™re violent, theyвЂ™re strange, and most importantly, theyвЂ™re entertaining.

This attitude is not only what makes вЂњ$O$вЂќ so weird, but itвЂ™s what makes it so interesting. They practice a style of South African rap called zef, which has been described by South African rapper Jack Parow as вЂњkinda like posh, but the opposite of posh.вЂќ Basically, Zef means that Die Antwoord is going to do whatever they want, whether or not anyone cares or approves. Nine months later, Die Antwoord has put out two more incredibly absurd videos, collaborated with producer extraordinaire Diplo and finally released a major-label debut, вЂњ$O$,вЂќ which does not disappoint.Дie Antwoord is not trying to impress anyone. Filled with violently playful lyrics, a set that would make Eli Roth proud, and enough phallic images to last a normal person a whole year, Die AntwoordвЂ™s video took the Internet by storm. It all started with the video for their song вЂњEnter The NinjaвЂќ (2008). Stuck somewhere between Internet meme and pure genius, Die Antwoord - Afrikaans for вЂњThe AnswerвЂќ - has exploded from being a relatively unknown South African hip-hop group to signing a major label record deal and touring the world. Whoever said that South African-horrorcore-ninja-zef rap is dead has clearly never heard of Die Antwoord.
