Blackface isn't a thing in SA they find all the fuss in the West quite amusing actually. If I remember rightly Yolandi is supposed to be a black panther in this vid
I don't give a fuck about blackfacing or whitefacing yes its the Same Thing If you feel offendet don't waterboard the Rest of the world with your opinion.
Dee Ant vord ( Afrikaans) This song came about when Lady Gaga saw them and was quoted as saying she should get them to open for her and they were insulted because they don't see themselves as an opening act. Yolandi Visser is Queen🖤
I still think its dumb they got angry at Lady Gaga. They were unknown then and she was on top of the world. They would have gotten major exposure and why wouldn't you want to tour with one of the biggest artists in the world? Its all so dumb
9:18 lmao that's what they call a prawn, or an african king cricket. If you've ever seen the movie district 9, that's why the aliens are called prawns because of the resemblance.
Their 2001 song 'Long Street' (Max Normal/Constructus Corporation) was also about an alien invader that looked like a Parktown Prawn. ruclips.net/video/ycexQvMy03k/видео.html
@@RedTopReactions I'm late as hell to the party but could you imagine being a big artist and some artist from another area says "maybe I'll get them to open for me" in your hood...Die Antwoord could seriously have girl hurt security n all over there
The group name means "The Answer" in Afrikaans. It's pronounced "Dee Antvord" They were once married and had a daughter together, that they co-parent. Wadsworth "Waddie" Jones, an "English" S. African writer, poet and performance artist, and the daughter of an Afrikaaner minister. His earlier work was very experimental and cerebral, often reflecting the desperation of the repressed, bullied working man in modern society. Then he "discovered" within himself an untestrained and aggressive tapping alter ego - "Ninja". Same with Yolandi. From an awkward, deliquent church girl, Annie de Troite, then an avant-guard performance artist, to a fit, hypersexual rapper.
The proper pronunciation is closer to "dee anfwort" It's Afrikaans for "The Answer" Also "Black Face" is a specific thing, so skin blacking/coloring for a performance is a touchy thing in the US mostly.
@@albertgein3082 no it isn't. Giving a pass implies that they somehow are in the wrong even though what they did is not a problem in their culture. You are implying their culture is not valid or that it has to share the same values as yours. Which is a bit racist tbh.
Booooy this one of my favorite damn songs. So lady Gaga hit em when they were blowing up. She asked them to open for her on tour. They responded with this video. Bruh you gotta go fuckin DEEP on Die Antwoord. It's pronounced Dee Ahntvoord btw. This some shit you NEVER fuckin seen or heard before! Damn genius like you can't find.
This video it's a Beef against Lady Gaga. She saw for first time Die Antwoord in an african fest and she tried ask them to open her African tour. for some personal reason, Antwoord refuse. Then. Gaga starts a social media campaing of lies about things talked between Gaga & Antwoord and jokes about how freaky they look AND how they won't help in her stuff in África. Antwoord responds calling Gaga hippocressy about her ideas of kindle. Gaga said What Antwoord would know about kind, then, Andwoord said What Gaga would know about being Áfrican. The fight just continued 'till songs mentions like this.
That was an awesome reaction video! I've watched a couple dozen reaction videos in the past few days, of Die Antwoord, and yours takes the cake. Very open minded, loved it haha
Fun fact, they did have a record deal in the states but thier DJ is gay and wanted rap about it but the record company said hell no, they broke thier contract and made their own label
I'm more into real folk and ancient music, but I just love this one. Weird, frenetic and just hit me with your ching ching (money clinking in your pockets).
I damn near fell out of my chair laughing when he pulled the prawn or whatever the hell that thing was out of her cooch I knew it was coming and I couldn’t wait for your reaction and you made me laugh so hard because I knew you were going to freak out!
I didn't know u reacted to this..had to know the breaker of bars would be able to catch them despite the crazy video. Lol they are their own type of unique fire.
RedTop have you seen their music video called Evil Boy? 😇 If you want to do a great reaction on a video, react to this, guarantee you will stand out from all the other RUclips "reactors" with this video, the song and the video are equally insane!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦
it's not black face or racist or anything for anyone wondering. I think alot of people don't realize there is white people living in Africa so they r saying they r still African even tho they r white
Of course we are African. Being African isn't skin colour, as many northern countries skin pigmentations are very light. Some non african countries have dark skin pigmentations. Being African is birth place, culture, mannerisms, languages etc.
the lion eats lady gaga in her meat dress.😅 as i understood it, gaga wanted to work with die andwoord, but d.a. didn't want to, and the answer was this video.

Blackface isn't a thing in SA they find all the fuss in the West quite amusing actually. If I remember rightly Yolandi is supposed to be a black panther in this vid
Black face means nothing to us in South Africa. We have some cultures who paint their faces white. We don't make a fuss about paint on the face.
The problem comes when the arrogant westerners and asians use it to mock and insult black folks.
I don't give a fuck about blackfacing or whitefacing yes its the Same Thing If you feel offendet don't waterboard the Rest of the world with your opinion.
We do laugh at the west and all their cultural appropriation rubbish. Seems to divide their nation more than unite it.
Good to know. I wondered about how SA culture felt about this....thanks for the explanation.

@@krimm1450 thanks
@@jnywd8450 no worries mate :-)
The backstory on this video is that Lady Gaga had commented to someone that she wanted Die Antwoord to open for her. This was their response.
The real story is Die Antwoord wanted to open for Lady Gaga and she told them no. So this was their play back to her for dissing them.

Do they get a Pass?, just because where they're from ?

I always assumed the black body and yellow eyes represented the black panther in the opening.
And perhaps Ninja represents the lion.

The wildlife bits where filmed in a zoo, they built sets to look like streets, then cut them in with actual street locations back in town.
Such a great diss track. Your reaction was fun af.
I believe she isnt even supposed to be a black person. I think shes supposed to be a black panther

This was a slap across the face to Gaga for asking them to open for her. If you watch how the video is made they explain it.
Is this the Lady GaGa diss? Or just dissing rich ass tourists in Africa in general?

His reaction to that was so hilarious, great reaction.
The Parktown prawn, African king cricket or tusked king cricket (Libanasidus vittatus) is a species of king cricket endemic to Southern Africa.
D.A. goes all out on thier videos. That s for sure. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We call the cricket a "Parktown prawn". Very common in SA, they sometimes squirt black ink when attacked 🤣
