- [Interviewer] So how did you guys meet?
69
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:08,883
- We met outside a little club in Cape Town in 2001.
70
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:12,970
I was 19 years old at the time.
71
00:04:13,050 --> 00:04:13,933
And Ninja was?
72
00:04:14,013 --> 00:04:15,999
- I think I was 27.
73
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:17,170
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
74
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:18,430
- And the first time I saw Yolandi,
75
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:20,020
how she looked in my eye,
76
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,510
I could see that she was from my tribe,
77
00:04:22,590 --> 00:04:24,580
just how she looked at me.
78
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:26,560
- When I first met Ninja,
79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,640
like, my first impression of him was that he was...
80
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:34,600
He had a big energy,
81
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,920
like his energy seemed different to other people,
82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,330
like he just stood out.
83
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:43,360
I don't know if it's 'cause he's tall or what,
84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,910
but he just seemed to have a big presence,
85
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:48,130
and he was very alive,
86
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:50,620
and he had this, like, spark in his eye, you know,
87
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,000
that other people didn't have.
88
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,170
He was so, like, intense.
89
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:57,670
So I remember noticing him,
90
00:04:57,750 --> 00:05:00,430
like he had this, like, really extreme energy
91
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:03,260
and I was like, "Wow, okay, this guy is like..."
92
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:06,460
Something is like extra about him, you know?
93
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:07,686
Other people were just like kind of whatever,

00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:12,430

124
00:06:22,843 --> 00:06:26,620
I was just like, "Oh, my God, your voice."
125
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:29,620
Like, she had the sickest
voice I'd ever heard in my life
126
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:31,113
and I asked her,
127
00:06:32,047 --> 00:06:34,480
"Do you think you could
make some tracks with me?"
128
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,280
And she said, "Yeah, sure."
129
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,400
So we went into the studio together
130
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,610
and I just asked her to say this one line
131
00:06:42,690 --> 00:06:43,960
on this track I was making
132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,961

- And as she kicked this one line,
139
00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:05,930
I was just, like, struck by the line here.
140
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:07,510
I was like, "Oh, my God,
141
00:07:07,590 --> 00:07:10,300
you've got the coolest, like, rap voice
142
00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:11,410

143
00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:14,637
like, we have to make
more music together."
144
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:17,500
- Yeah, and from then on
145
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:20,343
we pretty much hung out together every day.
146
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,950
(ethereal music)
147
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,182
We would just smoke weed
148
00:07:29,262 --> 00:07:33,262
and make weird little songs and movies together.
149
00:07:34,411 --> 00:07:36,675

152
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:49,669
That wasn't important to us.
153
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:52,945
We were just happy making music and art.
154
00:07:53,025 --> 00:07:55,775
(hypnotic music)
155
00:08:02,201 --> 00:08:06,382
But then, you know, one thing led to another,
156
00:08:06,462 --> 00:08:08,045
and I got pregnant.
157
00:08:10,317 --> 00:08:11,895

00:08:38,629 --> 00:08:40,325
I'm teething.

- [Nurse] It's so peaceful in here.
171
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:44,923
I usually make theaters into a mad zone.

176

never thanked me yesterday.

- [Ninja] Hm?
182
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,490
(hospital staff chattering indistinctly)
183
00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:16,402
(Yolandi whispering in Afrikaans)
184
00:09:16,482 --> 00:09:17,467
(machine beeping)
185
00:09:17,547 --> 00:09:18,407
(Ninja speaking in Afrikaans)
186
00:09:18,487 --> 00:09:20,154
- [Nurse] Well done.
187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,103
(indistinct) There we go, there we go.
188
00:09:28,156 --> 00:09:30,250
That's a tight foot, nearly there.
189
00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:32,080
Well done, well done.
190
00:09:35,843 --> 00:09:38,510
(intense music)
191
00:09:43,255 --> 00:09:46,755
(intense music continues)
192
00:09:51,238 --> 00:09:54,738
(intense music continues)
193
00:09:59,436 --> 00:10:02,936
(intense music continues)
194
00:10:07,206 --> 00:10:11,258
(intense music continues)
195
00:10:11,338 --> 00:10:12,324
- [Hospital Staff] Wanna come...
196
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:15,073
Come stand this side, come.
197
00:10:15,153 --> 00:10:15,986
Well done.
198
00:10:16,972 --> 00:10:20,119
(hospital staff chattering indistinctly)
199
00:10:20,199 --> 00:10:23,076
(Sixteen crying)
200
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:25,297
(indistinct) There we go.
201
00:10:25,377 --> 00:10:26,815
(Sixteen crying)
202
00:10:26,895 --> 00:10:31,130
(people chattering indistinctly)
203
00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:32,139
(Ninja laughing)
204
00:10:32,219 --> 00:10:36,302
(people chattering indistinctly)
205
00:10:39,762 --> 00:10:42,512
(ethereal music)
206
00:10:48,260 --> 00:10:51,627
(indistinct) You both have to look this way quickly.
207
00:10:51,707 --> 00:10:52,896
There we go.
208
00:10:52,976 --> 00:10:55,893
(enchanting music)
209
00:11:00,097 --> 00:11:03,282
(enchanting music continues)
210
00:11:03,362 --> 00:11:06,112
(hypnotic music)
211
00:11:11,078 --> 00:11:14,661
(hypnotic music continues)
212
00:11:16,137 --> 00:11:19,637
- We named our baby daughter Sixteen Jones
213
00:11:20,517 --> 00:11:22,923
because 16's my lucky number.
214
00:11:24,918 --> 00:11:27,730
The three of us lived in a little one-room apartment
215
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:29,823
for five years.
216
00:11:31,718 --> 00:11:36,520
It was a really magical time,
but it was also difficult
217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,760
because we were broke most of the time.
218
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,840
- When I was born, we lived in a one-bedroom apartment
219
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,980
in Garden Centre on the 17th floor.
220
00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:52,353
And for me those memories are just purely magical.
221
00:11:53,821 --> 00:11:55,121
- (indistinct) Look at me.
222
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,180
Look at me.
223
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:01,390
- And I was never aware that we were so broke.
224
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,270
I always had food on the table and I was always cozy
225
00:12:04,350 --> 00:12:06,100
and had my movies and my toys.
226
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:08,590
They would hand-make and sew their own toys
227
00:12:08,670 --> 00:12:11,523
like those ones, that's what they made.
228
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,630
Uh-hmm.
229
00:12:13,710 --> 00:12:16,750
And it was just a really lovely time.
230
00:12:16,830 --> 00:12:17,650
- [Interviewer] What were you guys doing
231
00:12:17,730 --> 00:12:19,080
for a living at this point?
232
00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:24,070
- Well, just trying to make it as artists.
233
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:27,970
We just do any kind of odd job to get by,
234
00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:31,660
but our main focus was like making music.
235
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:35,770
But I just remember back
then feeling so stressed out
236
00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:38,050
because we were broke
237
00:12:38,130 --> 00:12:42,160
and it just felt like nothing was ever gonna happen.
238
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,060
But I remember Ninja was always optimistic,
239
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,680
like he was always convinced
240
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,343
that the music we were making was gonna blow up.
241
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:53,377
Plus he was a really cool dad.
242
00:12:54,703 --> 00:12:57,786
(electrifying music)
243
00:13:02,492 --> 00:13:06,895
(electrifying music continues)
244
00:13:06,975 --> 00:13:08,233

- What's up? (grunts)
254
00:13:24,652 --> 00:13:29,652
(Ninja and Sixteen chattering indistinctly)

00:13:33,107 --> 00:13:37,440

(Ninja continues chattering indistinctly)
260
00:14:03,889 --> 00:14:05,211
- Okay.
261
00:14:05,291 --> 00:14:07,208
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
262
00:14:08,076 --> 00:14:10,826

00:14:11,930 --> 00:14:13,135

- [Ninja] Why did you do that, Feenie?
267
00:14:20,013 --> 00:14:21,262

00:14:21,342 --> 00:14:22,830

(Yolandi laughing)
278
00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:44,530
- Back then I was always telling Yolandi, "Don't worry,
279
00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:46,570
everything's gonna be cool.
280
00:14:46,650 --> 00:14:50,920
We're gonna blow up soon and
get money from our music."
281
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,193
But, (sighs)
282
00:14:54,330 --> 00:14:56,320
secretly in the back of my head
283
00:14:57,990 --> 00:15:00,447
I felt like a bit of a fuck up,
284
00:15:01,963 --> 00:15:06,490
like I was a broke white rapper from South Africa
285
00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:11,470
with zero game and I had no idea
286
00:15:11,550 --> 00:15:13,713
how I was gonna provide for my family.
287
00:15:15,450 --> 00:15:19,630
All my life I've just been
obsessed with making rap music,
288
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:23,920
but rap wasn't paying the bills.
289
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,833
And I got to a point where I thought,
290
00:15:30,127 --> 00:15:33,670
"Maybe I should just give up rap."
291
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:38,080
Then, one day this random thing happened
292
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,763
that pretty much changed my whole life.
293
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,200
Me and Yolandi were driving
down the road behind a bakkie
294
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,800
and there was this guy sitting
in the back of the bakkie
295
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,580
and this guy had spiky bleached, blonde hair
296
00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:57,940
with mad gel in it, with the sides shaved off
297
00:15:58,020 --> 00:16:04,810
and a mullet and Yolandi said, "Fuck, that guy is zef."
298
00:16:04,890 --> 00:16:08,890
And I said, "What does zef mean?"
299
00:16:08,970 --> 00:16:10,690
And she said, "It's just a style,
300
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:13,000
like, it's like white ghetto style.
301
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,810
Like that guy, he's fucking zef."
302
00:16:16,890 --> 00:16:21,130
And I got super fucking jealous
303
00:16:21,210 --> 00:16:24,813
'cause I could tell she thought this guy was cute.
304
00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:28,930
- Yeah, and we had this big fight
305
00:16:29,010 --> 00:16:31,960
about this random zef guy.
306
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,433
Ninja was so jealous, he almost lost his mind.
307
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:38,980
- I wanted Yolandi to think I'm the coolest person
308
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:42,340
in the world, and it was obvious
309
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:46,113
that she thought this zef guy was cooler than me.
310
00:16:46,980 --> 00:16:51,460
So to try and impress Yolandi, (bird squawking)
311
00:16:51,540 --> 00:16:52,413
I became zef.
312
00:16:54,451 --> 00:16:57,610
I cut my hair in a zef style.
313
00:16:57,690 --> 00:16:59,703
I got gold in my teeth.
314
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,864
I got all these kak zef tattoos and it was like,
315
00:17:05,944 --> 00:17:07,510
(dramatic music)
316
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:10,753
like this whole other person
came alive inside of me.
317
00:17:12,256 --> 00:17:15,006
(dramatic music)
318
00:17:20,285 --> 00:17:24,565
(dramatic music continues)
319
00:17:24,645 --> 00:17:25,645
Who are you?
320
00:17:27,736 --> 00:17:28,569
I'm you.
321
00:17:29,461 --> 00:17:31,407
(dramatic music)
322
00:17:31,487 --> 00:17:32,523
You're me,
323
00:17:34,268 --> 00:17:36,063
but who am I then?
324
00:17:36,979 --> 00:17:38,740
(dramatic music)
325
00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:39,933
You are Ninja.
326
00:17:40,781 --> 00:17:43,531
(dramatic music)
327
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:51,734
(dramatic music continues)
328
00:17:51,814 --> 00:17:54,197
Then I said to Yolandi,
329
00:17:54,277 --> 00:17:57,430
"Why don't we start a zef rap group?"
330
00:17:57,510 --> 00:18:00,370
- And I was like, "Fuck, yes."
331
00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:02,470
- So I cut Yolanda's hair
332
00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:05,980
into the zeffest motherfucking
hairstyle of all time
333
00:18:06,060 --> 00:18:09,940
and me, Yolandi, and our homie DJ Hi-Tek
334
00:18:10,020 --> 00:18:13,113
started this little zef rap
group called Die Antwoord.
335
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,320
We took three years to record
Die Antwoord's first album
336
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,121
in a little bedroom studio.
337
00:18:22,201 --> 00:18:24,550
(upbeat music)
338
00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:25,960
I was so into the shit
339
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,060
that I even got the name of the album
340
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:29,780
tattooed across my back.
341
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:32,080
(upbeat music)
342
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,820
We called that album "SOS"
343
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:37,293
because if we didn't make it with this album,
344
00:18:38,201 --> 00:18:39,626
we were fucked.
345
00:18:39,706 --> 00:18:42,289
(upbeat music)
346
00:18:47,066 --> 00:18:50,566
(upbeat music continues)
347
00:18:52,670 --> 00:18:56,140
We worked harder than we'd ever worked in our lives
348
00:18:56,220 --> 00:19:00,093

392
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,140
We painted all our sets and all
our clothes in zef graffiti.
393
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:28,220
Then we shot a little video
called "Enter the Ninja."

402
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,630
I was super on edge.
403
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:45,190
I hadn't slept the night before
404
00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:48,100
'cause I stayed up the whole night painting the sets
405
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:50,860
and we had no fucking money
406
00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:55,360
and we had no idea if anyone had even heard our music.
407
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,760
We had released our album for free on our website,
408
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,940
but back then we didn't know how to check
409
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:03,160
if anyone had downloaded our album or not.
410
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,550
So, while we were shooting this video,
411
00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:09,040
I was in a really desperate head space
412
00:21:10,350 --> 00:21:13,150
and to be honest, I wasn't sure if this video
413
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:16,930
was like the coolest thing I'd ever done in my life
414
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:20,698

- It took, like, super long.
433
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,290
It sounds, like, oh, it's so easy
434
00:21:50,370 --> 00:21:51,730
but it took, like, super long.
435
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:55,420
It took a year to make these two videos
436
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:58,210
and then when we finally put the videos on the net,
437
00:21:58,290 --> 00:22:03,586
I think it was January 2010, no one watched them.
438
00:22:03,666 --> 00:22:04,660
(dramatic music)
439
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:08,500
And we were just like, "Oh, fuck."
440
00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:10,803
- I started getting really depressed.
441
00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:15,700
I just felt like no one in South Africa gets us.
442
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:19,496
And I was just like,
"What are we gonna do?"
443
00:22:19,576 --> 00:22:21,670
(grim music)
444
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:22,900
I sometimes remember
445
00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:24,850
walking through the streets of Cape Town,
446
00:22:24,930 --> 00:22:29,200
just praying to myself, like, "Help me, help me.
447
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,850
What am I gonna do?"
448
00:22:30,930 --> 00:22:35,320
- And then, I swear to God, in our most desperate hour,
449
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,310
my cell phone rings and it's my homie, Gertjie,
450
00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:42,280
who says he wants to book Die Antwoord
451
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,613
to play at his club in Johannesburg.
452
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,170
- Yeah, and we didn't even know
453
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,560
if anyone was gonna come to the show,
454
00:22:50,517 --> 00:22:54,376
but when we got there the club was packed
455
00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:56,416
from the front to the back
456
00:22:56,496 --> 00:23:00,170
and we were just like, "What the fuck?"
457
00:23:00,250 --> 00:23:04,885
- I was so shocked that I kept forgetting my lyrics,
458
00:23:04,965 --> 00:23:06,685
but it didn't matter
459
00:23:06,765 --> 00:23:09,970
'cause every single person in the audience
460
00:23:10,050 --> 00:23:13,330
knew all the words to all our songs
461
00:23:13,410 --> 00:23:15,368
and they were rapping the lyrics at me.
462
00:23:15,448 --> 00:23:17,276
(dramatic music)
463
00:23:17,356 --> 00:23:18,523
What the fuck?
464
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:22,600
And then we got back home after the show
465
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,670
and like, Yolandi-
- Yeah, and that same night
466
00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:26,020
we go online-
- Yolandi went online,
467
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:27,539
and it was just like,
468
00:23:27,619 --> 00:23:29,170
"What's happening?"
- We're just checking
469
00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:31,270
the hits on our videos on zef site
470
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:32,950
and "Enter the Ninja."
- It had like 200 hits
471
00:23:33,030 --> 00:23:34,150
before we left.
472
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:36,160
- And when when we checked after the show,
473
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,140
it was like 50,000 hits.
- Like 50,000 hits
474
00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:40,429
and we're like, "Uh."
- Next thing it was like 80,000
475
00:23:40,509 --> 00:23:41,461
and 100,000-
- And a 100,000
476
00:23:41,541 --> 00:23:42,427
- And we're just going up-
- And we're like,
477
00:23:42,507 --> 00:23:43,703
309,000.
- And up and up and up.
478
00:23:43,783 --> 00:23:45,610
- I was like, "Uh," I just, like, laid down on the floor
479
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:46,720
and I just stared at the ceiling,
480
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,550
I was like, "What's going on?"
481
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:50,350
- We literally just like sat there
482
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:52,570
and watched our videos go viral.
483
00:23:52,650 --> 00:23:55,132
- But like worldwide viral.
484
00:23:55,212 --> 00:23:56,620
It was-
- Like on another level.
485
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,913
- [Ninja] It was a total mind fuck.
486
00:23:58,993 --> 00:24:01,594
(explosion booming)
487
00:24:01,674 --> 00:24:03,460
(static crackling)
488
00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:05,493
- I first heard about Die Antwoord,
489
00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:09,910
my wife heard it first and she played me the video.
490
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:13,210
She said, "You gotta watch
this video on YouTube."
491
00:24:13,290 --> 00:24:17,410
And I watched it and my jaw fell open
492
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:26,980
and we both became obsessed with Ninja and Yolandi.
493
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:30,910
- Literally overnight, we were (imitating explosion)
494
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:32,656
world-famous.
495
00:24:32,736 --> 00:24:35,819
(electrifying music)
496
00:24:40,021 --> 00:24:41,629
(electrifying music continues)
497
00:24:41,709 --> 00:24:43,986
- [Yolandi] It felt like we were on acid.
498
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:46,120
(electrifying music)
499
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,310
- Ninja and Yolandi of Die Antwoord.
500
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:50,283
- Sitting here with Die Antwoord.
501
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,390
Did I say that correctly?
502
00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:53,710
- Die Antwoord.
503
00:24:53,790 --> 00:24:55,240
- Bradley, you're the first person
504
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,730
in the whole of the USA to say it so nice.
505
00:24:57,810 --> 00:25:00,178
- Hi, my name's Yolandi Visser.
506
00:25:00,258 --> 00:25:01,464
- [Fan] Sign here, Ninja.
507
00:25:01,544 --> 00:25:02,495
- How are ya?
508
00:25:02,575 --> 00:25:04,003
- [Fan] We saw Yolandi (indistinct).
509
00:25:04,083 --> 00:25:06,919
- [Fan] Hey, I saw you roll an onion into a blunt once.
510
00:25:06,999 --> 00:25:07,752
- [Ninja] Yeah, yeah.
511
00:25:07,832 --> 00:25:09,708
- [Fan] Is there anything else
you can use around the house
512
00:25:09,788 --> 00:25:10,694
to roll the blunt in?
513
00:25:10,774 --> 00:25:12,223

514
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:15,817

(audience screaming continues)
524
00:25:58,784 --> 00:26:00,340
- Well, we don't know what the fuck's going on.
525
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:01,937
We're just going with it.
526
00:26:02,017 --> 00:26:03,481
(static crackling)
527
00:26:03,561 --> 00:26:04,973
A lot of are people doing this.
528
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:07,300
- I think I was doing that.
529
00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:09,330
- And then at the end they were like...
530
00:26:10,725 --> 00:26:12,730
They were the feeling that ave (beep).
531
00:26:12,810 --> 00:26:16,270
- Every major label on the planet wanted to sign us.
532
00:26:16,350 --> 00:26:18,670
In the end we sold our "SOS" album
533
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:23,750

Angeles for a million dollars.

- [Interviewer] There's a little controversial thing
540
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:37,120
I wanted to bring up.
541
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,730
- Hm?
- People say that you guys are homophobic,
542
00:26:39,810 --> 00:26:41,590
but isn't DJ Hi-Tek gay?
543
00:26:41,670 --> 00:26:43,930
- Yeah, I was a bit confused about that one
544
00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:47,530
because our DJ is definitely a raging homosexual
545
00:26:47,610 --> 00:26:48,363
beast of a man.
546
00:26:48,443 --> 00:26:50,973
- Raging homosexual.
547
00:26:52,980 --> 00:26:55,140
- [DJ Hi-Tek] How that I found out I was gay?
548
00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:58,900
I kind of knew since I was five or six years old.
549
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:00,910
I went to an all-boys school
550
00:27:00,990 --> 00:27:02,200
and there was a soccer game
551
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,113
that we had between the boys and the staff.
552
00:27:05,193 --> 00:27:06,963
I must have been like seven.
553
00:27:07,043 --> 00:27:08,560
And I was the goalkeeper
554
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,035
and there was this geography teacher
555
00:27:10,115 --> 00:27:11,693
who was super fucking hot.
556
00:27:11,773 --> 00:27:14,458
Like, I didn't know he was hot 'cause I was seven.
557
00:27:14,538 --> 00:27:18,125
He was like big and I like big guys,
558
00:27:18,205 --> 00:27:20,463
like hairy, like muscular kind of guys.
559
00:27:20,543 --> 00:27:22,000
He went to go score a goal
560
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,860
and I was goalkeeper and he missed,
561
00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:26,267
'cause I saved the goal and he kinda like ran
562
00:27:26,347 --> 00:27:29,474
and he like picked me up in this bear hug
563
00:27:29,554 --> 00:27:31,597
and he like picked me right up.
564
00:27:31,677 --> 00:27:32,921
And I was like this fucking tall.
565
00:27:33,001 --> 00:27:34,660
He picked me up and put me back on the ground
566
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:36,910
and then my head just exploded.
567
00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:39,383
I was like, "What the fuck just happened?"
568
00:27:39,463 --> 00:27:42,270
(laughs) Then I kinda knew I was gay.
569
00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:44,208
(DJ Hi-Tek laughing)
570
00:27:44,288 --> 00:27:46,440
That never happened with a girl before.
571
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,730
(static crackling)
572
00:27:48,810 --> 00:27:50,260
- [Interviewer] So, Hi-Tek, why do you wear a mask
573
00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:51,453
when you perform live?
574
00:27:52,474 --> 00:27:55,743
- (laughs) Because the idea of being famous to me
575
00:27:55,823 --> 00:27:58,480
is like literally the worst
fucking thing in the whole world
576
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,010
that I could imagine.
577
00:28:00,090 --> 00:28:04,720
I can't imagine anything worse
for someone as an individual.
578
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,360
- So, because Hi-Tek was so shy,
579
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,220
we asked some of our friends
580
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:13,192
to star as Hi-Tek in our photos and in our videos.
581
00:28:13,272 --> 00:28:16,870
- DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ Hi-Tek.
582
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:20,290
- Well, DJ Hi-Tek makes... Like, he owns a PC computer.
583

- [Interviewer] What was it like making music
600
00:28:53,970 --> 00:28:55,270
with Ninja and Yolandi?
601
00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:58,180
- It was spiritual.
602
00:28:58,260 --> 00:28:59,470
I mean, it was religious.
603
00:28:59,550 --> 00:29:02,223
It was like touching the face of God.
604
00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:07,210
But like any religious experience,
I mean, it's a spectrum.
605
00:29:07,290 --> 00:29:10,840
It's the highest highs mix with the lowest lows.
606
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,730
It was intense, it was crazy.
607
00:29:12,810 --> 00:29:13,690
I mean, there were times
608
00:29:13,770 --> 00:29:16,600
when we wanted to fucking kill each other.
609
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,534
There were times that I don't think
610
00:29:17,614 --> 00:29:18,730
Ninja's not even gonna make it.
611
00:29:18,810 --> 00:29:21,460
I mean, they would fight in the studio
612
00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:25,030
and then go walk outside of the house in Rondebosch
613
00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:27,490
for like three hours and then come back
614
00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:30,813
and get right back into it.
615
00:29:30,893 --> 00:29:35,893
I mean, it was this fucking
incredible music-making process.
616
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:38,470
And then when we started performing live,
617
00:29:38,550 --> 00:29:43,004
it was kind of difficult because
I had to do the live show
618
00:29:43,084 --> 00:29:44,920
because I made up the music
619
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,073
and I was nervous as fuck life.
620
00:29:47,970 --> 00:29:50,283
Like, I was nervous as shit.
621
00:29:50,363 --> 00:29:52,930
Like, I didn't like the idea of performing.
622
00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:54,430
Ninja and Yolandi are born performers,
623
00:29:54,510 --> 00:29:55,720
I mean, they get hyped,
624
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,250
they get excited to go on stage.
625
00:29:57,330 --> 00:29:58,360
As soon as they step on stage,
626
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,570
it's like (clicks fingers) bam, their shit's on.
627
00:30:01,650 --> 00:30:03,130
I was the opposite.
628
00:30:03,210 --> 00:30:04,420
I was, like, scared
629
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:06,130
and I was, like, checking all my equipment
630
00:30:06,210 --> 00:30:08,170
and like, "Oh, my God, I hope I don't fuck up,"
631
00:30:08,250 --> 00:30:10,270
and like, "Is this plugged in right?"
632
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:11,500
And like, and I'd go on stage
633
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:14,560
and I'd be like, you know, like looking down
634
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,460
and I'm behind them.
635
00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:17,290
I mean, that was 'cause it wasn't my wall,
636
00:30:17,370 --> 00:30:19,180
it wasn't my thing.
637
00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:22,810
And the mask flipped that,
638
00:30:22,890 --> 00:30:24,820
'cause the mask allowed me to go on stage
639
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:27,167
and to a degree to say to myself,
640
00:30:27,247 --> 00:30:29,170
"I don't give a fuck here."
641
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:30,003
Like, it's not me.
642
00:30:30,083 --> 00:30:34,150
It was this weird, like, self-relocation.
643
00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:35,500
It was like, "This is not me",
644
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:37,928
this is this fucking DJ Hi-Tek motherfucker
645
00:30:38,008 --> 00:30:39,675
and he slays shit.
646
00:30:39,755 --> 00:30:41,406
Like, he's a beast.
647
00:30:41,486 --> 00:30:44,569

00:30:49,179 --> 00:30:53,096

(static crackling)
655
00:31:37,502 --> 00:31:39,944
- [Interviewer] Why do you love Die Antwoord so much?
656
00:31:40,024 --> 00:31:44,357
(Mike speaking in foreign language)
657
00:31:48,060 --> 00:31:52,393
(Mike speaking in foreign language)

(electrifying music)
660
00:32:12,197 --> 00:32:15,280
(electrifying music)
661
00:32:20,010 --> 00:32:22,750
- We got so much love from all these people
662
00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:24,670
around the world.
663
00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:30,603
But then, back home, the South African media hated us.
664
00:32:32,129 --> 00:32:36,462
(Die Antwoord singing in Afrikaans)
665
00:32:41,828 --> 00:32:43,690
- I can tell you a story that might explain
666
00:32:43,770 --> 00:32:45,250
how it works here in South Africa
667
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:47,260
to understand why the press
668
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:50,073
were difficult with Die Antwoord.
669
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:53,380
There's two fishermen, there's Hannes and Jan,
670
00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:54,550
and they go fishing together,
671
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:56,980
they're fishing for crayfish, you see?
672
00:32:57,060 --> 00:32:59,380
And they have a wonderful
day catching those crayfish,
673
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,330
you know, they get them, they take them out of the sea
674
00:33:01,410 --> 00:33:03,010
and they're popping them in the bucket like this
675
00:33:03,090 --> 00:33:04,390
and they're just filling that bucket, man,
676
00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:05,770
with the crayfish.
677
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:07,510
And it comes time, sun's going down,
678
00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:09,700
they're getting ready to go home
679
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:11,290
and Hannes looks over to Jan
680
00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:12,480
and he says, "Jan, you know",
681
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,160
we have to be careful here, man.
682
00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:17,350
One of these crayfish is climbing out of the bucket.
683
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:18,580
We've got so many, we've gotta put a lid.
684
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:19,450
Do you have a lid or something?
685
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:20,650
Look, he's gonna climb right out.
686
00:33:20,730 --> 00:33:22,263
"We've got to..."
687
00:33:22,343 --> 00:33:23,620
And Jan looks at Hannes
688
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,120
and he says, "My friend, don't worry,
689
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,610
this is all South African crayfish.
690
00:33:27,690 --> 00:33:29,350
If one gets out of the bucket,
691
00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:32,207
just before he does, the others
will pull him back down."
692
00:33:33,510 --> 00:33:34,510
- [Interviewer] Why do you think Die Antwoord
693
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:36,363
gets so much hate from people?
694
00:33:38,010 --> 00:33:43,010
- Yeah, I think, it would most probably
695
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,563
be stemming from people who don't understand them.
696
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,640
Jesus was crucified for being
a good person, you know,
697
00:33:53,070 --> 00:33:54,490
just for example.
698
00:33:54,570 --> 00:33:59,570
Do you know that if me and you are friends
699
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,530
and we grew up together
700
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,140
and I so happen to...
701
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,830
Okay, we play soccer
702
00:34:08,910 --> 00:34:11,763
and I so happen to be better than you in soccer,
703
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,820
it's common for you to hate me
704
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,100
for me being better than you.
705
00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:21,033
Because when you look at me,
706
00:34:22,170 --> 00:34:24,880
you are, like, looking yourself.
707
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,860
It's like you're looking at the mirror
708
00:34:26,940 --> 00:34:29,290
of where you are supposed to have been
709
00:34:29,370 --> 00:34:31,390
had it not been for the fact
710
00:34:31,470 --> 00:34:36,470
that maybe you were sleeping on yourself
711
00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:41,780
or you didn't take your art serious, you know?
712
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,140
So it's common, you know?
713
00:34:44,220 --> 00:34:47,500
And hate is something you can't run away from.
714
00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:49,000
You don't have to play a rough game
715
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,270
in order for someone to play a rough game to you.
716
00:34:52,350 --> 00:34:54,663
Wherever there is love, there is hate.
717
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,380
- I was never really stressed
out about all the stupid stuff
718
00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:01,660
the South African media said about us.
719
00:35:01,740 --> 00:35:05,260
But right after we blew up,
720
00:35:05,340 --> 00:35:08,890
there was one thing that people were saying
721
00:35:08,970 --> 00:35:11,913
that did bother me a lot.
722
00:35:12,990 --> 00:35:17,200
They said Die Antwoord was just a one-hit wonder
723
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,080
who just got lucky
724
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,160
and that we were gonna disappear
as quick as we popped up.
725
00:35:25,710 --> 00:35:30,710
And to be honest, this thought terrified me.
726
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:37,180
My biggest fear back then was, can we do it again?
727
00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:42,260
So straight off the tour, we
went back home to South Africa,
728
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:46,600
shut off from everything and everyone,
729
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,420
locked ourselves into a studio with Hi-Tek,
730
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:53,383
and started working flat out on our second album
731
00:35:53,463 --> 00:35:56,967
that we decided to call "Tension."
732
00:35:58,170 --> 00:36:00,281
- [Interviewer] Why "Tension"?
733
00:36:00,361 --> 00:36:02,620
(electrifying music)
734
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,890
- [Ninja] Well, when we went overseas,
735
00:36:05,970 --> 00:36:07,503
people kept asking me,
736
00:36:08,407 --> 00:36:11,277
"Why is the music you make so aggressive?"
737
00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:14,470
And I said, "It's because we come from
738
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:16,180
an aggressive country."
739
00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:18,400
- South Africa is a crazy place.
740
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,933
It's so beautiful and it's so dangerous.
741
00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:25,270
- [Ninja] South Africa has the highest crime rate
742
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:30,033
in the world because our country is so imbalanced.
743
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:35,350
The super rich live right
next door to the super poor,
744
00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:38,343
which creates this constant tension.
745
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:42,160
When people can't get the basic things
746
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:46,510
they need to survive in life, they're gonna take them.
747
00:36:46,590 --> 00:36:48,603
It's just human nature.
748
00:36:49,797 --> 00:36:51,820
(gang members speaking in foreign language)
749
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:54,250
The music and art we make
750
00:36:54,330 --> 00:36:57,220
is a reflection of the tension we feel
751
00:36:57,300 --> 00:36:58,863
in the world around us.
752
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:01,840
Our music is real
753
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,123
and in our music videos we show real shit.
754
00:37:07,530 --> 00:37:11,110
This obviously freaks some people out
755
00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:13,503
and fascinates other people.
756
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:16,690
- We dedicated our first single
757
00:37:16,770 --> 00:37:18,870
off our "Tension" album to all our haters.
758
00:37:19,860 --> 00:37:23,097
The single was called, "Fok Julle Naaiers,"
759
00:37:23,962 --> 00:37:27,250
which means fuck you, motherfuckers.

(Sixteen blowing raspberries)
784
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,940
- [Interviewer] You said you were five
785
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:36,573
when they first blew up.
786
00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:40,960
Do you remember watching their
videos for the first time?
787
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,190
Do you remember that moment?
788
00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:44,170
- Yeah, I remember watching their videos
789
00:38:44,250 --> 00:38:47,290
with my own eyes whilst being shot in
790
00:38:47,370 --> 00:38:49,090
and also being in their music videos.
791
00:38:49,170 --> 00:38:49,923
- [Interviewer] What were you thinking
792
00:38:50,003 --> 00:38:52,000
when you were watching?
793
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,436
- I always thought my parents
were like these superheroes
794
00:38:54,516 --> 00:38:57,130
and just doing such cool stuff.
795
00:38:57,210 --> 00:38:58,903
And especially when you're a kid, it like hypes you up
796
00:38:58,983 --> 00:39:01,210
when they're dancing and they're rapping.
797
00:39:01,290 --> 00:39:02,050
It's just the best.
798
00:39:02,130 --> 00:39:04,870
And I loved when they would ask
799
00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:07,060
if I would be in a music video and they...
800
00:39:07,140 --> 00:39:09,580
Like, my first one was, "I Think U Freeky,"
801
00:39:09,660 --> 00:39:11,260
and they turned me into a fairy.
802
00:39:11,340 --> 00:39:15,657

813
00:39:43,847 --> 00:39:47,830
- And I had to hold like a prosthetic heart
814
00:39:47,910 --> 00:39:51,500
and it was beating and they
put, like, cherry blood on it
815
00:39:51,580 --> 00:39:53,883
and I remember that freaking me out.
816
00:39:55,980 --> 00:39:59,350
But then I licked it and it tasted sweet.
817
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:00,340
- [Interviewer] So you guys have created
818
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:02,560
some pretty freaky visuals.
819
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,290
Who would you say is your
biggest influence visually?
820
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:07,840
- Roger Ballen.
- Roger Ballen.
821
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,320
- Yeah, 100%.
822
00:40:11,016 --> 00:40:13,766
(dramatic music)
823
00:40:15,723 --> 00:40:18,550
He's a photographer who's been taking photographs
824
00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:22,162
in South Africa for the last 40 years or so.
825
00:40:22,242 --> 00:40:23,230
(camera clicking)
826
00:40:23,310 --> 00:40:25,863
- [Yolandi] Roger Ballen is one of my heroes.
827
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:29,403
His photographs are so strong,
828
00:40:30,412 --> 00:40:32,913
it feels like they punch you in the face.
829
00:40:34,530 --> 00:40:39,530
Mr. Ballen takes pictures
of outsiders and misfits,
830
00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:42,543
people that society have rejected.
831
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:46,540
That's why we relate to Mr. Ballen's art
832
00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:49,780
in such a deep and emotional level.
833
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:53,620
- Everybody feels alone in a way.
834
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:57,700
Everybody feels outside of things in a way
835
00:40:57,780 --> 00:40:59,470
and they're scared to admit it.
836
00:40:59,550 --> 00:41:02,260
And so all of a sudden this band comes along,
837
00:41:02,340 --> 00:41:04,090
or a photographer like me comes along
838
00:41:04,170 --> 00:41:09,100
and you sort of smash those barriers a bit
839
00:41:11,290 --> 00:41:14,620
and then they become anxious
840
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:16,510
or aware or excited or something
841
00:41:16,590 --> 00:41:17,950
and then they don't forget it.
842
00:41:18,030 --> 00:41:23,020
In a way, you're able to smash those mental barriers
843
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:26,890
and liberate something for people in some way
844
00:41:26,970 --> 00:41:28,360
and that's why...
845
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,090
I mean, that's why you became what you became.
846
00:41:31,170 --> 00:41:33,520
You weren't singing lullabies,
847
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,510
you were smashing their defense systems.
848
00:41:37,590 --> 00:41:41,350
You were entering their
minds in some way or another
849
00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:44,770
and liberating them, scaring
them, making them anxious
850
00:41:46,770 --> 00:41:47,950
and then they couldn't get rid of you.
851
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:49,603
- Yeah, that's right.
852
00:41:49,683 --> 00:41:51,233
- They couldn't get rid of you.
853
00:41:52,222 --> 00:41:54,805
(solemn music)
854
00:41:57,090 --> 00:41:58,390
My most painful thought
855
00:41:58,470 --> 00:42:02,193
is probably the same that everybody has.
856
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:09,500
The painful thought is what happens when I die?
857
00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:11,583
Where do I go?
858
00:42:15,150 --> 00:42:15,983
How do I die?
859
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,517
Where do I die?
860
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,100
What happens?
861
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:22,653
Do I turn into a spirit?
862
00:42:23,803 --> 00:42:25,210
(solemn music)
863
00:42:25,290 --> 00:42:26,583
Do I turn into earth?
864
00:42:28,260 --> 00:42:29,163
What happens?
865
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:33,853
So I guess the painful thought is,
866
00:42:35,142 --> 00:42:39,963
is that I can't come up with an answer.
867
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:46,563
You know, as much as I try, there's no answer.
868
00:42:50,580 --> 00:42:53,373
So I guess this is a deep, deep down pain,
869
00:42:54,420 --> 00:42:57,760
something I'll never be able to put my finger on,
870
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,690
something I'll never be able to come to terms with
871
00:43:01,770 --> 00:43:03,425
in some way or another.

called "I Fink U Freeky," which, in my opinion,
876
00:43:24,660 --> 00:43:29,320
is the best music video we've ever made in our lives.
877
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,675

When did this random thing happened?
992
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,520
I was hanging out with Kanye West in his studio
993
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,800
and he was watching "Star Wars" on this big ass TV.
994
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,560
And as I started talking about
an idea for a song I had,
995
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,900
he switched on anal sex porno.
996
00:48:56,980 --> 00:48:58,600
(bed thudding)
(woman shrieking and laughing)
997
00:48:58,680 --> 00:48:59,650
And I'm about to talk about the music
998
00:48:59,730 --> 00:49:01,090
and he switches on this bum sex video.
999
00:49:01,170 --> 00:49:02,590
I'm like, "(indistinct)."
1000
00:49:02,670 --> 00:49:04,270
And then he said, "Sorry, what were you saying?"
1001
00:49:04,350 --> 00:49:05,710
He called Travis Scott to come,
1002
00:49:05,790 --> 00:49:06,820
and say, like, "Ninja's here."
1003
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:08,770
Just before Travis came, Kanye turned to me
1004
00:49:08,850 --> 00:49:10,510
and said, "Do you like banana pudding?"
1005
00:49:10,590 --> 00:49:11,890
And I was just like, "Whoa."
1006
00:49:11,970 --> 00:49:13,480
I don't know if pudding is dessert,
1007
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,320
if it means the same thing.
1008
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,900
I was like, and I was thinking, "Why the fuck,
1009
00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:17,733
what happened there?"
1010
00:49:17,813 --> 00:49:19,547
Travis came in and he's like, wilding out,
1011
00:49:19,627 --> 00:49:21,190
"Yo, Ninja, what the fuck's up?"
1012
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:24,670
Then Kanye said to Travis, "So,
do you like banana pudding?"
1013
00:49:24,750 --> 00:49:26,440
And Travis was like, "Yeah."
1014
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,907
And he's like, "Wifey
made some banana pudding."
1015
00:49:31,290 --> 00:49:33,750
Kanye got out this banana
pudding that Kim Kardashian made.
1016
00:49:33,830 --> 00:49:35,350
It was fucking delicious actually.
1017
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:37,135
It had like caramel and banana.
1018
00:49:37,215 --> 00:49:40,330
(utensils clanging)
1019
00:49:40,410 --> 00:49:41,650
And then I finished the banana pudding.
1020
00:49:41,730 --> 00:49:42,483
I didn't know what to say or what to do.
1021
00:49:42,563 --> 00:49:45,250
So I like, I washed everyone's dishes
1022
00:49:45,330 --> 00:49:49,392
and put them on their side and then I just went home.
1023
00:49:49,472 --> 00:49:50,440
(static crackling)
1024
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,940

1025
00:49:52,020 --> 00:49:52,900

00:52:44,018 --> 00:52:46,593
- And I would go with them as much as I could.
1100
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,187

1101

and a rap superstar at the same time.
1102

1153

Zef is being the outsider,
1154
00:56:06,810 --> 00:56:11,133
being the misfit and doing it with flavor.
1155
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,790

1184

It's gotta get people's attention.
1185

01:01:02,042 --> 01:01:05,459
(bright music continues)
1237
01:01:10,170 --> 01:01:13,587
(bright music continues)
1238
01:01:14,515 --> 01:01:16,432
- Yolandi is an enigma.
1239
01:01:17,910 --> 01:01:19,983
We've hung out with her a few times.
1240
01:01:21,540 --> 01:01:23,240
I would like to call her a friend,
1241
01:01:26,340 --> 01:01:29,140
but there's so much we still don't really know
1242
01:01:29,220 --> 01:01:30,070
about Yolandi.
1243
01:01:30,150 --> 01:01:31,113
She's a mystery.
1244
01:01:32,550 --> 01:01:37,480
In real life, Ninja is a creative force.
1245
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,200
He's got one of those minds that just doesn't stop.
1246
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,510
He's got itchy fingers
1247
01:01:43,590 --> 01:01:48,250
and you get the feeling like if he stops, he'll die.
1248
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:49,653
So he never stops.
1249
01:01:52,347 --> 01:01:55,347
(machines whirring)
1250
01:01:58,710 --> 01:01:59,740
- From the outside,
1251
01:01:59,820 --> 01:02:04,300
it seemed like we were living our best lives.
1252
01:02:04,380 --> 01:02:10,930
But what no one knew about is that behind the scenes
1253
01:02:11,010 --> 01:02:13,593
something not so cool was happening.
1254
01:02:15,836 --> 01:02:19,233
Me and Ninja started to fight a lot over jealousy.
1255
01:02:20,850 --> 01:02:23,530
I had seen Ninja flirting with girls after the show
1256
01:02:23,610 --> 01:02:27,273
and I get super jealous.
1257
01:02:28,476 --> 01:02:32,530
And if I thought someone was cute,
1258
01:02:32,610 --> 01:02:35,073
Ninja would lose his fucking mind.
1259
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,700
- Yeah, we started fighting, like, so much
1260
01:02:39,780 --> 01:02:44,283
that it felt like the band was gonna break up.
1261
01:02:45,228 --> 01:02:47,978
(poignant music)
1262
01:02:52,298 --> 01:02:56,087
- [Yolandi] It was a really strange time for us.
1263
01:02:56,167 --> 01:02:59,833
We didn't really know what to do.
1264
01:02:59,913 --> 01:03:02,643
We'd worked so hard to get this far,
1265
01:03:03,930 --> 01:03:06,003
we couldn't just let it all fall apart.
1266
01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:11,500
So me and Ninja decided to break up
1267
01:03:12,489 --> 01:03:17,430
but to stay friends and keep the band together.
1268
01:03:22,049 --> 01:03:24,799
(poignant music)
1269
01:03:30,099 --> 01:03:33,682
(poignant music continues)
1270
01:03:37,980 --> 01:03:40,066
(magical music)
1271
01:03:40,146 --> 01:03:43,300
(grim music)
1272
01:03:43,380 --> 01:03:45,100
At first it was a relief
1273
01:03:45,180 --> 01:03:49,210
because we weren't fighting anymore.
1274
01:03:49,290 --> 01:03:50,123
But then,
1275
01:03:51,870 --> 01:03:57,760
it just felt fucking weird
because I got a boyfriend
1276
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,699
and Ninja had other girlfriends.
1277
01:04:00,779 --> 01:04:03,446
(pensive music)
1278
01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:06,077
- I told Yolandi,
1279
01:04:06,157 --> 01:04:08,740
"I'm totally cool that
you have a boyfriend."
1280
01:04:08,820 --> 01:04:11,043
But secretly,
1281
01:04:12,150 --> 01:04:14,403
it totally freaked me out.
1282
01:04:15,690 --> 01:04:18,340
- [Yolandi] When I saw Ninja with other girls,
1283
01:04:18,420 --> 01:04:23,382
I pretended to be cool with it, (pensive music)
1284
01:04:25,337 --> 01:04:27,307
but it made me really sad.
1285
01:04:29,530 --> 01:04:32,764
We were supposed to be living the dream,
1286
01:04:32,844 --> 01:04:36,698
but every time I went sleep I'd have nightmares.
1287
01:04:36,778 --> 01:04:39,528
(dramatic music)
1288
01:04:43,697 --> 01:04:46,447
(haunting music)
1289
01:04:51,097 --> 01:04:54,680
(haunting music continues)
1290
01:04:59,076 --> 01:05:02,659
(haunting music continues)
1291
01:05:07,188 --> 01:05:10,771
(haunting music continues)
1292
01:05:15,156 --> 01:05:18,739
(haunting music continues)
1293
01:05:23,035 --> 01:05:26,618
(haunting music continues)
1294
01:05:31,065 --> 01:05:34,648
(haunting music continues)
1295
01:05:39,087 --> 01:05:42,670
(haunting music continues)
1296
01:05:47,052 --> 01:05:50,635
(haunting music continues)
1297
01:05:55,164 --> 01:05:58,747
(haunting music continues)
1298
01:06:03,073 --> 01:06:06,656
(haunting music continues)
1299
01:06:11,212 --> 01:06:14,795
(haunting music continues)
1300
01:06:18,620 --> 01:06:21,370
(peaceful music)
1301
01:06:26,084 --> 01:06:28,439
(peaceful music continues)
1302
01:06:28,519 --> 01:06:31,019
(eerie music)
1303
01:06:36,140 --> 01:06:39,473
(eerie music continues)
1304
01:06:44,006 --> 01:06:47,339
(eerie music continues)
1305
01:06:52,218 --> 01:06:55,551
(eerie music continues)
1306
01:07:00,149 --> 01:07:03,482
(eerie music continues)
1307
01:07:08,141 --> 01:07:11,474
(eerie music continues)
1308
01:07:16,050 --> 01:07:19,383
(eerie music continues)
1309
01:07:20,973 --> 01:07:23,880
(no audio)
1310
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:25,883
- [Interviewer] Do you have any regrets?
1311
01:07:26,730 --> 01:07:28,923
- Yeah, just one.
1312
01:07:30,283 --> 01:07:32,320
I regret breaking up with Yolandi.
1313
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,690
It's pretty much the stupidest fucking thing
1314
01:07:37,770 --> 01:07:39,699
I've ever done since I was born.
1315
01:07:39,779 --> 01:07:42,446
(wistful music)
1316
01:07:45,177 --> 01:07:47,977
And we all think the grass
is greener on the other side.
1317
01:07:49,350 --> 01:07:53,883
And at first it was super fun being single,
1318
01:07:55,736 --> 01:07:59,410
but whenever I was alone
1319
01:07:59,490 --> 01:08:02,973
I was always just really, really sad.
1320
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,240
Like, sadder than I'd ever been in my life
1321
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:13,000
and from time to time
1322
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:18,080
I'd ask Yolandi if we can please get back together.
1323
01:08:19,530 --> 01:08:22,150
But it wasn't that simple
1324
01:08:23,460 --> 01:08:26,280
because Yolandi was really hurt
1325
01:08:30,090 --> 01:08:31,330
about us breaking up
1326
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,260
and now I was hurting
1327
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:43,983
and broken hearts are not that easy to fix.
1328
01:08:44,956 --> 01:08:47,623
(wistful music)
1329
01:08:51,990 --> 01:08:55,240
And it just felt like after we broke up,
1330
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,723
everything just started falling apart.
1331
01:08:59,998 --> 01:09:02,498
(eerie music)
1332
01:09:05,790 --> 01:09:10,203
- Love knows not its own depth
until the hour of separation.
1333
01:09:13,002 --> 01:09:15,502
(eerie music)
1334
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:20,110
- [Interviewer] On the subject
of things falling apart,
1335
01:09:20,190 --> 01:09:22,263
Tokkie, what happened there?
1336
01:09:23,689 --> 01:09:29,671
- Well... So Tokkie is a kid from the hood that we met
1337
01:09:29,751 --> 01:09:32,451
when we were making the "I Fink U Freeky" music video.
1338
01:09:33,690 --> 01:09:37,917
And when I first met
Tokkie, I was like, "Wow."
1339
01:09:39,287 --> 01:09:41,410
You know, he's such a unique human being.
1340
01:09:41,490 --> 01:09:43,840
I've never met anyone like him
1341
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:47,883
and I just had this real heart connection with him.
1342
01:09:49,290 --> 01:09:51,340
And over time we got to know him better
1343
01:09:51,420 --> 01:09:54,160
'cause we'd always go to the hood and visit friends.
1344
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,340
So I got to know Tokkie and his family better
1345
01:09:57,420 --> 01:10:00,820
and he was living in really harsh conditions.
1346
01:10:00,900 --> 01:10:03,910
His mom was struggling to provide for him.
1347
01:10:03,990 --> 01:10:06,760
So at some point his mom asked if we could help out
1348
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,370
and we were like, "Yeah, of course."
1349
01:10:09,450 --> 01:10:12,450
So we started to help out and
take him under our wing a bit.
1350
01:10:14,220 --> 01:10:16,960
We paid for him to go to a decent school.
1351
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,979
We taught him how to read and write,
1352
01:10:20,059 --> 01:10:22,270
we paid for his food and clothes.
1353
01:10:22,350 --> 01:10:26,273
We took him on tour with us, like, all over the world,
1354
01:10:26,353 --> 01:10:28,353
and bought him PlayStation.
1355
01:10:29,310 --> 01:10:30,130
Like, we spoiled Tokkie
1356
01:10:30,210 --> 01:10:32,770
'cause obviously we felt sorry for him, you know?
1357
01:10:32,850 --> 01:10:35,680
And we just thought that he just needed a chance
1358
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,233
and then he's gonna blossom.
1359
01:10:39,330 --> 01:10:42,190
But the thing is he's always been quite naughty.
1360
01:10:42,270 --> 01:10:45,130
Like, coming from such a rough hood,
1361
01:10:45,210 --> 01:10:48,400
like he's always been a bit of a wild child.
1362
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:50,560
So as he got older,
1363
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,250
his naughtiness just hit another level.
1364
01:10:54,330 --> 01:10:57,310
Like, we couldn't control him, we didn't know what to do,
1365
01:10:57,390 --> 01:10:59,590
he wouldn't listen to us.
1366
01:10:59,670 --> 01:11:02,530
He started taking hardcore drugs.
1367
01:11:02,610 --> 01:11:06,550
He started lying to us, started stealing from us.
1368
01:11:06,630 --> 01:11:08,710
And me and Ninja were just
like, "What do we do?"
1369
01:11:08,790 --> 01:11:10,840
Like, every time we try discipline him,
1370
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,030
he's just like, "Fuck you, you're not my real parents,"
1371
01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:14,523
runs back to the hood.
1372
01:11:15,475 --> 01:11:18,040
(sighs) So after he turned 18,
1373
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,590
at a certain point we just put our foot down with him.
1374
01:11:20,670 --> 01:11:22,510
We were like, "This is it, you know,
1375
01:11:22,590 --> 01:11:24,190
we're not giving you any more money
1376
01:11:24,270 --> 01:11:26,740
if you're just gonna fuck around and take drugs.
1377
01:11:26,820 --> 01:11:29,457
Like, you know, tough love."
1378
01:11:31,350 --> 01:11:36,190
And, not long after this, Tokkie goes onto YouTube
1379
01:11:36,270 --> 01:11:37,690
and he just tells all our fans
1380
01:11:37,770 --> 01:11:40,120
that we just abandoned him in poverty
1381
01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:43,810
and basically just said, you know
1382
01:11:43,890 --> 01:11:45,610
that we just left him there
1383
01:11:45,690 --> 01:11:48,123
and he's asking them for donation money,
1384
01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:51,850
which he's using to buy drugs.
1385
01:11:51,930 --> 01:11:54,820
- We just want Tokkie to get some professional help
1386
01:11:54,900 --> 01:11:56,043
'cause he needs it.
1387
01:11:57,420 --> 01:11:59,733
And...
- Yeah.
1388
01:11:59,813 --> 01:12:02,140
- You can't really help someone
1389
01:12:02,220 --> 01:12:03,130
who doesn't want to be helped.
1390
01:12:03,210 --> 01:12:05,230
And we've tried our best and it didn't work.
1391
01:12:05,310 --> 01:12:07,480
So, you know, maybe there is, you know,
1392
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:11,020
still hope for Tokkie if he fucking comes to senses.
1393
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:14,260
We've always told them like, "Our door's open",
1394
01:12:14,340 --> 01:12:16,360
you can come back anytime,
1395
01:12:16,440 --> 01:12:21,040
just stop taking drugs, tell
the truth about everything
1396
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,250
"that's happened with you and us," and...
1397
01:12:24,330 --> 01:12:25,563
- Just fix everything.
1398
01:12:25,643 --> 01:12:26,730
- Yeah, come back, we're here.
1399
01:12:26,810 --> 01:12:29,500
- But I mean, I understand like it's always tricky
1400
01:12:29,580 --> 01:12:32,680
with adopted kids or foster kids
1401
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,110
or being the misfit and the outsider,
1402
01:12:35,190 --> 01:12:37,750
and that's what Tokkie's felt
like his whole life, you know,
1403
01:12:37,830 --> 01:12:41,950
just doesn't fit in, and we embrace that
1404
01:12:42,030 --> 01:12:45,130
and not everybody does.
1405
01:12:45,210 --> 01:12:48,400
So life hasn't always been easy for him,
1406
01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:51,340
but at some point you have
to just take responsibility
1407
01:12:51,420 --> 01:12:52,390
for things you've done
1408
01:12:52,470 --> 01:12:54,400
and you have to stand for those things
1409
01:12:54,480 --> 01:12:57,445

everything changed.
1427
01:14:09,570 --> 01:14:12,707

(poignant music)
1458
01:16:19,596 --> 01:16:22,263
But back when we were broken up,
1459
01:16:23,926 --> 01:16:26,926
I was at the lowest point in my life
1460
01:16:29,943 --> 01:16:33,310
and I couldn't talk to him about my feelings
1461
01:16:33,390 --> 01:16:35,110
because (sighs)
1462
01:16:37,652 --> 01:16:40,402
(poignant music)
1463
01:16:41,528 --> 01:16:44,028

(poignant music)
1465
01:16:54,225 --> 01:16:57,808
(poignant music continues)
1466
01:16:59,354 --> 01:17:01,271
- I am a strong person,
1467
01:17:02,940 --> 01:17:06,433
I can handle most things life throws at me.
1468
01:17:09,936 --> 01:17:12,853
But the one thing I couldn't handle
1469
01:17:13,890 --> 01:17:15,823
was my parents being broken up.
1470
01:17:17,434 --> 01:17:20,184
(poignant music)
1471
01:17:22,535 --> 01:17:23,577
When my parents found out
1472
01:17:23,657 --> 01:17:27,513
that I told my friend I was gonna kill myself,
1473
01:17:28,740 --> 01:17:30,903
they completely freaked out.
1474
01:17:33,780 --> 01:17:38,780
And then I knew that they would
say yes to whatever I asked.
1475
01:17:40,890 --> 01:17:43,090
Then I asked my parents
1476
01:17:43,170 --> 01:17:45,933
if we could all move back in together.
1477
01:17:48,060 --> 01:17:51,610
And once I had them living under the same roof,
1478
01:17:51,690 --> 01:17:53,343
the rest was a piece of cake.
1479
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,700
- Sixteen was basically like a little cupid.
1480
01:18:00,780 --> 01:18:03,850
Like, we all moved back in together
1481
01:18:03,930 --> 01:18:07,063
and me and Ninja would go out
for meetings during the day.
1482
01:18:07,143 --> 01:18:09,040
When we came home,
1483
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:12,910
she'd made us these like
romantic candlelit dinners
1484
01:18:12,990 --> 01:18:15,093
with champagne on ice.
1485
01:18:16,350 --> 01:18:17,103
Yeah
1486
01:18:17,183 --> 01:18:20,290
I mean, we're spending all
this intimate time together,
1487
01:18:20,370 --> 01:18:22,270
just me and Ninja.
1488
01:18:22,350 --> 01:18:27,350
And eventually obviously we
ended up getting back together
1489
01:18:28,950 --> 01:18:31,353
thanks to Sixteen Jones.
1490
01:18:32,533 --> 01:18:34,353
- It was all part of my evil plan.

(whimsical music)
1492
01:18:39,870 --> 01:18:41,680
- [Interviewer] Now that you guys are back together,
1493
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,313
do you prefer living in LA or South Africa?
1494
01:18:45,422 --> 01:18:48,324
- [Ninja and Yolandi] South Africa.
1495
01:18:48,404 --> 01:18:50,616
- [Interviewer] Why do you like living in South Africa?
1496
01:18:50,696 --> 01:18:54,420
- Mm, 'cause Africa is so hot right now.

(ethereal music)
1498
01:19:03,281 --> 01:19:04,781
- Love is strange.
1499
01:19:08,580 --> 01:19:10,417
If you truly love someone,
1500
01:19:12,780 --> 01:19:14,793
at some point in your relationship,
1501
01:19:16,650 --> 01:19:21,650
the love you share with that
person is gonna get tested.
1502
01:19:23,784 --> 01:19:26,534
(ethereal music)
1503
01:19:29,010 --> 01:19:31,053

01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:12,963
One last thing I want to ask,
1511
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,910
what's next for Die Antwoord?
1512
01:20:15,990 --> 01:20:17,540
What are you guys gonna do now?
1513
01:20:18,406 --> 01:20:21,116
- [Yolandi] Are we going to keep making music?
1514
01:20:21,196 --> 01:20:24,787
- [Ninja] Yeah, and go on tour again and, I don't know,
1515
01:20:25,890 --> 01:20:27,390
maybe get married.
