Salem vs. Die Antwoord

...will this be the poll that gets me sb'd?

yes

Lol :P

don't think I've ever heard any Die Antwoord, but I'd probably vote for Salem anyway, for obvious reasons

lol

DIE FOKKEN ANTWOORD

I haven't heard Die Antwoord either... although mutterings on the web lead me to believe they are some sort of cosmic joke??

Like most music in 2010, yes.

looooooooooooooool

"fokken"

i'm pretty sure i saw a quote in a die antwoord-related wikipedia article from the one dude, ninja i think. it was a quote from a video but whoever transcribed it actually bothered to write the word "fucking" like "fokken" just because that is apparently "the preferred die antwoord way of spelling 'fucking.'"

die antwoord

haven't heard die antwoord which allowed me to not abstain from voting for them

salem are kinda awesome at best, die antwoord is just trying too hard trolling that isn't funny like most things diplo does. bet he was behind the squeaky voiced yt kid as well.

the fascination with die antwoord is, to put it nicely, completely mystifying. salem are just lame.

i like salem

fokken - apparently "the preferred die antwoord way of spelling 'fucking.'"

It's quite Dutch to spell it like that. (Fokken is both the cool & hip way to spell how you pronounce the English "fucking" in Dutch, and it is also a genuine Dutch verb that means "to breed" - so someone who foks dogs is actually a dog breeder who doesn't necessarily, er, nevermind)

die antwoord suck hard but I can still respect them more than fucking Salem

^^^

have 0 respect for salem

die antwoord. yolandi's hooks are genuinely catchy and they are pretty bizarre in a way that is entertaining, they're a perfect youtube act. salem is just some boring self-serious garbage.

yolandi's hook in "enter the ninja" is just smile.dk's "butterfly" so i guess i am biased toward die antwoord in that respect

the one dude, ninja

he should start calling himself this

die antwoord are like a band that william gibson would invent

i don't know which writer might have invented salem tho

maybe Clive Barker on an off day?

was going to say Anne Rice

haaaaaaa that was my other choice

my other was Garth Merenghi

This sums up my minimal feelings for either pretty well.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

DJ Hi-Tek's PC Computer has done good.

I never realised Die Antwoord were a comedy band.

you didn't

this is the point where die antwordtdd starts reminding me of ILL MITCH

dog latin, you should seek out the full version of that 'Beat Boy' song if you haven't heard it yet (and if you didn't realize they were a comedy band, then chances are you haven't)...it's truly next-level.

Hah, this was started last year on my fokken birthday. lol. I love'em. Probably because they partially rap in Zuid Afrikaans so it just sounds familiar and funny to my ears. I also love the whole "package" thing. The creepy videos, futuristic,... Also I can't resist Diplo, I really like what he does.

after excising the skits and the DJ Hi-Tek/Mike Tyson thing, the remaining Die Antwoord album is something I expect to listen to quite a bit.

but I'll also rep for Salem, so whatever.

ha that video is great

yeah. it's highly unlikely that another album will be released this year that gets me bouncing off the walls the way Ten$ion does.

I have to say, I kind of like the interviews where they break or almost break character most of all. They come across as smart, likable, and very serious about this project, which is pleasant. Here's another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiyzJU4RoSM&lc=bvSVVMFF8kh1UQhxTdi2u8uS6Qv1wJmv01poCIlEPpQ&context=C363b413ADOEgsToPDskIxMRuGZq9VUC9xboSLykF_
