I dont know what to make of this. Joke? Real? Art?

[Nitty]

These people are just so unbelievably common. It really makes me feel embarrassed to say that I'm Afrikaans.

[WingNut]

Of course it's a parody. It's Waddy Jones, he used to rap first as Max Normal and then started the Max Normal.TV crew. Very talented guy. That chick performed with him in his Max Normal.TV days as well.

[Flatty]

I have a whole Ibiza themed CD that I thought contained decent choons & imagine my surprise when I hear some dude rapping in Afrikaans over a whole pile of popular songs, swearing his head off.

[Askari]

Yeah I know its Max Normal aka Waddy, Wingers. Apparently he and the Yo-landi chick are married with a kid. What Im not sure about is content of their songs. That chick swears like a wounded Cape Flats whore. I dont know if they are doing some kind of social experiment but flip its heavy.

But damned if they havent managed to get half the intawebs interested in them and even going on a "P$#s groot European Tour" to quote their website.

[WingNut]

Haha, yeah I was also very surprised by the big reaction they've been causing overseas... didn't know the 2 were married though.

And the language... jeesh ja, it's quite rough to hear it sung like that, especially on that D@#$dronk song, but actually none of their songs contain anything worse than what I've heard in my 2 years in a men's res at varsity.
Lekker Afrikaanse girls en laaities, in goeie huise groot geword, and when they leave home they suddenly start spewing things that would make a sailor feel uncomfortable.
So I guess it was just a matter of time for the art to catch up with society... I'm actually surprised it took so long.

As dit die antwoord is, wil ek nie weet wat die vraag was nie :/

[GeroW4lll]

The best quote I found about this: "Fascinating. And I mean that in the anthropological sense."

"This is odd stuff. I feel like this makes more sense within the context of District 9 than the real world."

Solank hulle net onthou ons issie almal so nie, hoor?

[senorblinky]

Ek love die antwoord, dit is awesome!

Kevin Rose (founder of Digg) actually "digg"ed them, they will surely get international acclaim now. Max Normal is a genius!

[Askari]

All this zeffness coming out the woodwork....kool.

[TG]

Interestingly enough, I was in primary school with a Waddy Jones. Was friends with him. And going on that video, it could very well be the same guy.
No way in hell he's THAT 'Souf Effriken'.

Difficult to tell though, it's been a LONG time.

[Askari]

AFAIK he originally hails from somewhere up your neck of the woods so quite possibly the same guy. Dig up an old school photo man. That would be legendary.

I was thinking about it earlier, I think I've got a class photo from back then. I'll take a look through my scans.

[TG]

Bugger. I've got only one class photo - from std 1, and he wasn't in my class then.

[Askari]

Man what a pity. But call your old school and make a plan dog.

[WingNut]

Yes! Do eeeet!
