>> ^criticalthud:

that seemed utterly self deprecating. i think i'm down with this duo


Well then, here's all you need to know.

Also, the monster you see in the video is a Tokoloshe - look him on Wikipedia.

>> ^EndAll:

To give some of the stuff in the video a bit more context, there's this further explanation from Xeni Jardin in the comments on BoingBoing:
So, the story behind this video and song (or part of the story -- there's so much going on!) is that this kid was being coerced into a form of ritual circumcision by his community. It's culturally mandatory within his ethnic group, so much so that if you are a young man and you do not participate, you are completely ostracized. It's hardcore.
The thinking, and this is communicated pretty bluntly to the young men, is that if you don't participate, you're gay. You're effeminate. You're not a real man. You never mature from being a boy to being a man.
The kid is hetero. And he struggled with all of this in real life: with what it meant for his personal and cultural identity. And he came to a point where he was like, you know what? Fuck you all. The fact that I won't consent to having my penis sliced with an unsterilized knife, out in the bush, and risk infection or worse-- that doesn't mean "I'm gay," as you say. If that's what being a man is, fuck it, I don't want to be a man. I'll be an "evil boy for life." But, yeah, I am a real man, even if I don't participate in this tradition which I now reject, at the risk of being totally ostracized from my community.
You might have chosen different lyrics, but dude, it's not our story or our culture or our world experience at all.
It's his.

After I watched this I could see the draw. The live versons do nothing for me.

>> ^artician:

>> ^marinara:

electronica because according to wikipedia they are a hip hop band from cape town

>> ^csnel3:

Yolandi, Hot or not? discuss.


Hot. Even her fakies are hot.

>> ^xxovercastxx:
That's some really terrible hiphop music. I think the video would have gone under the radar without it.


I'm not a big Hip-Hop fan, but I like this song. Die Antwoord has some good stuff. They are an interesting bunch, There should be a sift discussion of Yolandis Hotness (or notness).

>> ^joedirt:

WTF.. who are these e-culture experts that keep saying "It's definitely next level."
Whatever. It's all about hype. Go read a drunkard's walk book and you'll realize it's all a bunch of random crap you think is interesting cause someone told you to think it is.


*promote BOW TO YOUR E-CULTURE EXPERT. B*(**H

>> ^enoch:

Apparently this kid (he's 16) is already an internet meme?

The only video on the sift I could find was this one where he is a guest star:
