When it comes to Die Antwoord's new video for the Diplo-produced "Evil Boy," words almost fail me. There's always been something a little wacky about the South African zef-lifers and their off-kilter brand of hip-hop, but this video just takes things to an entirely new level. It takes place in a decrepit warehouse looking space, where women apparently have no nipples, everyone has an erection, and there are tons of phalluses just hanging about. There are some things in this video you just can't unsee. They even get Diplo to come along for the visual ride. It's all very not safe for work, so make sure you're at home or something before diving headfirst into Die Antwoord's twisted little clip.
$0$ is due out Oct. 12 via Cherrytree/Interscope, at which time it will take its place as one of the more truly bizarre albums to come out on a major label in recent memory.
Thank God
Die Antwoord makes my brain hurt.
Not everyone agrees about Die Antwood's supposed genius:
