So who are these guys? Is it an act? Is this real? From what I can tell, the group Die Antwoord is a bit of a performance act, but it is closely based on the real persona's of Ninja and Yolandi. The video is very interesting to watch and the song is good too.ĭie Antwoord - Enter the Ninja (Music video) Yolandi keeps trying to sneek boys in the house while Ninja chases them out. Finally they caught my attention with their latest video, "Baby's On Fire." The video features a blond Ninja and Yolandi as brother and sister in their parent's house. Again I dismissed it without much thought.
Later they made a video for "I Fink U Freeky" which is a creepy video but none the less entertaining. I thought it was pretty cool, but didn't really look much into it at the time. I first heard about them a couple years back when they released the video for the song Enter the Ninja. Their lyrics are mostly understood by English speakers, but they also use a lot of words and dialect native to South Africa. They are from South Africa and have exploded onto the music scene with their shocking videos and unique style of music. I have listened to their music, watched their videos, and researched their background to provide some insight on this group whose name translates into "The Answer."ĭie Antwoord consists of the tough gangsta rap type guy by the name of Ninja, the cute yet hardcore girl named Yolandi, and their mysterious DJ, DJ Hi Tek.
At first it's hard to understand what they are because they are so different from what we are accustomed to, at least in the US. "Who are these guys?" and "What did I just watch?" are common question people ask when they first discover the zef rap group Die Antwoord.
