I must now see this film

[dentalplan]

I don't think they could even rescue that film.

Academic assessment of what was described here as "Basshunter meets the Chipmunks"

 

I'm now less sure than what I ever was of what the fuck is going on here. I seriously love this band though.

 

[bamber]

Seems, once again they are Exclusive elsewhere.

Should be there.

 

[bamber]

This Band Stirs me...............

Hoping that they will do some UK gigs of their own this year.

A couple of racist hipsters? Nope.

Their music is overrated as fuck as well.

I Beg to Differ. Out there on their own, Unique and special.

I'd be curious as to what led you to make this statement.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If not racist it's certainly some......loaded imagery.

[Spindles]

I can see how you'd take that for blackface if taken in isolation, but Die Antwoord have long used various full body paints in their video work, not as a depiction of race but for aesthetic reasons alone.  I've enjoyed their video work, never taken any of it to have any racial connotations and if anything is more about portraying their own distinct culture of working class/underclass in SA against the backdrop of their distinctive art style, I don't believe that they have any racist intent personally.

 

[dentalplan]

Ninja is that outspoken that if they had any intentions of racism you'd know about it more than the use of black face paint.

[FloorFiller]

oh, never mind
