For the last 6 years, Capetown South Africa’s rap-ravers Die Antwoord have doing their best to shake things up. Blending startling imagery with blazing beats, the band’s new album, Donker Mag, is set to drop on June 3rd. To tease the new album the band has also released their latest in a series of intensely weird, and often bloody, videos that have already earned more then 40M hits on YouTube and that scan like a cross between City of God and a David Lynch movie. The new video for the song “Pitbull Terrier” is directed by Die Antwoord frontman Ninja, and as always accompanied by the odd baby whisper vocal stylings of the disturbingly beautiful Anri Du Toit, blazing to the mad beats of DJ Hi-Tek. If you under the age of 15, I recommend that you show this video to your parents since it will undoubtedly scare the shit out of them.

Pitbull Terrier


This song is “What Did the Fox Say” on bath salts. “Pussy for a bad boy. No pussy you a sad boy.”

Cookie Thumper


Burning school girl uniforms – check, star-crossed semi-vampire lovers – check, weed – check. “Snack your cookie, snack snack you snookie cookie.”

Fatty Boom Boom


Fake Lady GaGa giving birth to slime covered cockroach – check, helpful tour guide – check, people being eaten by lions in the street – check, black face – check, white face – check, insane beats – check. Did I mention there’s a fake Lady GaGa giving birth to slime covered cockroach?

I Find You Freaky


Indeed. Even the toddler in this video is giving you the finger.

Enter the Ninja


Primordial dwarf rapping. I don’t know what else to say.
