The new video for Die Antwoord’s song “Fatty Boom Boom” off their recent albumn, Ten$ion came out this week. We all knew what to expect from their previous videos, but I don’t think any of us were prepared for this. It’s impossible for me to break down this video, there are far too many cultural influences that I am not familiar with to even know what points they are trying to get across. We know that Ninja and Yolandi say crazy controversial things and have said many times that South Africa is a truly messed up place. I sought out a lot of articles and criticism about the duo/trio and they all seem to say the same thing. We have no idea what Die Antwoord is doing and no one can agree on anything. Watch the video, read some articles, decide for yourself. That is what art is supposed to be about.
