I have a theory! Die Antwoord is a fake, joke band. Comedic geniuses sent to fool all the gullible scenesters into buying fancy pancy t-shirts with their names on them. I just read an interview they had with Pitchfork and as far as im concerned, its proof that they're joking:
Pitchfork: Where do you guys live now?
DA: At the moment Ninja is staying at his chommie Dragon's crib. Dragon is Ninja's personal trainer. He's from the Congo. Dragon is teaching Ninja gorilla style at the moment. Part of this training involves watching National Geographic wildlife movies about gorillas in the mist. Yo-Landi is staying at her mom for a few days cos she has to wash some clothes before her trip to L.A. in two weeks time. DJ Hi-Tek is fokken missing as usual (his phone is never on). He lives with his gran.
Pitchfork: Was there one moment of epiphany when you saw the potential of, as you say, your inner zef and the potential of Die Antwoord?
DA: Ninja, Yo-Landi, and DJ Hi-Tek were at a rave at Ninja's parents' house when they discovered Die Antwoord. We actually are making a high-energy, totally next-level, rap-rave feature film about this called The Answer. We would compare it to District 9, but just with more rave and more rap. This feature film is part of the reason why some people are flying Ninja and Yo-Landi to L.A. in two weeks' time.
I was talking about it with my boss and we noticed that we had scene this before. This is Spinal Tap has done it, and of course the OG "Zef"rapper Ali G, who even makes reference to Ja, which is mentioned in this interview. Theres no way someone is that retarded, come on they refer to District 9 "just with more rave and more rap". Me thinks they be joking. And if right, theyre genius.
You heard it here first. I am God. I am ultimate.
