die antwoord - ten$ion

new album just sucks. can't come to gems like scopie and fish paste.

I like this album and I'm still a fan but something's missing on it.

to be honest I think ninjas flow sucks hard

you joking?

I'm no rap expert, but I adore ninja's style from what I've heard on this album. I wouldn't say he's sloppy at all, not when compared to most popular rappers.

Haha they blow up some beats headphones

awesome

This endeared me to them all over again.

Goddammit those are awful fucking headphones.

I think they were BORN freaky.

Now that i watched the whole video, I don't know what to think about it. It could be staged and recorded recently.

You do know that the producer for Die Antwoord is Seven Ark (amazing IDM producer for Neo Ouija), right?

i thought it was waddy and marcus de nobrega, who was waddy's producer for a number of his previous projects.

It's Justin de Nobrega aka Seven Ark/Considerate Builders Scheme

ah there we go. i didn't know his pseudonym. and yeah justin, not marcus.

I think this group is a Coen Brother invention.

this album is AMAZING

listened twice tonight, so fucking good

Its funny how I fink u freeky and some other tracks sounded like complete shit at first, and now sound fuckin rad and awesome.

I discovered Die Antwoord like two years ago through some video clips I saw from them and always thought I should really listen to a full album. I did that one week ago with $o$ and think it's incredible. Full of energy and creativity, I'm really impressed. Usually I'm not so fond of rap because I tend to think the music is often too much used as a background, but their music is imo excellent. Funny and punchy.

So far I listened to Ten$ion once and have to say I'm quite disappointed. Maybe I need to try it more but to me it sounded very meh in the overall. I fear they're on the road to hipsterland but still need to listen to that album again, after all I'm really not used to that kind of music so it may grow on me.

I disagree with that part. I think what they do is to humorous and too fun to be proper hipster music. You forget that hipsters are the ones that listen to / review Rick Ross and Lil Wayne and all those money rappers with a straight face because there is a certain irony to it, but Pitchfork gave this album a low score because there was no "angle" to liking it.

I'm just theorizing. Everyone's opinion of what a hipster is is very different anyway...

uh.. they're practically the definition of hipster, just look at ninja's mustache, the whole idea of the band is "it's good because it's ironic".

nah, you're right. DA do what they do and just throw it out there. it's not their fault hipsters latched onto it.
