In the 6 years following their rise to international fame, they have continued to remain both relevant and edgy, taking notice of the shift to EDM sounds in dance music, and incorporating this into their songs and performances. A Coachella performance later that year cemented the band as rap-rave royalty and they have been moving from strength to strength ever since. Disclaimer: most Die Antwoord videos would be deemed inappropriate and offensive by your grandmother.Like many, I was first introduced to Die Antwoord in 2010 when the group attained a level of internet celebrity following the release of their music videos Zef Side and Enter the Ninja.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing a Die Antwoord video, immediately stop what you are doing, go to YouTube, and watch “Ugly Boy.” Some other standout videos you should check out are “Fatty Boom Boom” and “I Fink U Freeky” (which is my personal favorite!). The video is super entertaining, and the constant shifting of scenes assures that those of us with very short attention spans never get bored! After watching this video over and over, I haven’t been able to put together any sort of cohesive storyline, but honestly, it doesn’t bother me. In almost any other music video, including many of Die Antwoord’s, you’d think this opening scene introduces a story that would continue throughout the video.

The video starts out with dialogue of rapping frontman, Ninja, leaving a very threatening voicemail for someone named Tony while unidentified hands paint “UGLY BOY” in red on a white backdrop. Due to Die Antwoord’s reputation for crazy, funny, over-the-top videos, I’m not surprised these folks wanted to be part of one. This video also features quite a few celebrity cameos, including Marilyn Manson, Jack Black, Victoria Secret model Cara Delevingne, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea. “Ugly Boy” follows the traditional Die Antwoord style of outrageous outfits, colorful face paint, high-energy dancing, controversial symbolism, and an overall creepy vibe. It seems the group always tries to outdo itself with each new video, and this one is no exception. Their “Ugly Boy” video was released on November 4 and already has upwards of 6.2 million views on YouTube. Die Antwoord’s latest video installment is out and weirder than ever.
