Actually one thing about Die Antwoord, anyone else think Billie Eilish copied part of their visual style. And the beat to Bad Guy reminds me of one of their chorus beats but I can't remember which.

I like their music they have good beats and I like their flow. It’s ok that you don’t like them.

Once I had to do a huge performance to one of their songs for a big event and I was relieved because we weren’t in charge of the music but I knew the song very well!

Die Antwoord also takes a ton of visual cutes from Fando Y Lis. Time is a flat circle.

Like I hate to generalize an entire nation or group of people but I'm so consistently disappointed by people from SA. Its like racism russian roulette with them. I was on a public ferry going by some big houses and overhear some SA lady the other day say: "you'd need 2 or 3 filipinos to clean the place for you". I wish this was a single occurrence. Maybe just my experience but according to others itt its not. wtf.

Look man nobody is attacking you and your conscious should be clear if you were raised that way. Unfortunately, given the country's history and people, its gonna start you out on the back foot in some places. Its like telling people you're American in Europe.

Oh, I get it, I used to get called a racist in school all the time, as soon as people found out where my family was from. My grandparents campaigned for the ANC. It's just a sore spot, the assumption that white South African = automatic racist.

I was hanging out with a friend in Nicaragua, this dude was a journalist there so he knew lots of sketchy people.

It seemed like there were a lot of retired cops from various countries, they’d go there and live really well on their pensions. And be drunk all the time.

One of these cops was a South African who had done something horrible in his past but I forget what now, and it felt like he was there to disappear. He had bought a big walled compound in the rough part of town, a series of crumbling buildings with a dirt courtyard in the center.

He lived like the king of his little ghetto castle, with a circle of locals who would repair his stuff and run to fetch whatever he needed so he didn’t have to leave the walls. You could just go up to a hole in the wall and people would run up for the chance to go run an errand for a tiny fee. They were old drug addicts and little kids.

I had a pretty good time hanging out in this apocalypse now world with the scary cop with a creepy smile full of secrets but at the same time I hope the locals ended up invading that assholes fortress.

But yeah die antwoord has their moments

I found that there were heaps of European or American Expats living in West Africa when I was there. Many of them would probably be considered "shady types" who had decided to retire in a place where their dollars went a lot further. There were definitely folks that were just escaping something or other.

There’s a nice mix of ethnicities in the meeting. I guess it’s required by law in RSA for companies to be sufficiently integrated.

There definitely are a couple Sharlto Copley types. No Ninja soundalike though

Yeah theres some truth here but there are degrees. Im an American living in Australia and am just average levels of scum. The level of scumminess increases with disparaties in wealth and development. I.e a German person living in Ghana is probably scummier than an English person living in France. The absolute worst are Americans living in Thailand.

Im just saying theres actually been some funny and interesting poo poo in this thread but instead of engaging with that you just cherry picked someone, who posted a one off opinion, to call a racist. Its low effort, pointless, and inflammatory.

Its just a great way to tank/derail an otherwise interesting discussion thread. Its really just plain old poo poo posting dressed up as morality.
