They went long over their allotted 25 minute set, but no one seemed to mind. soil at Coachella (which I was lucky enough to witness). The Cape Town rap group’s credibility only grew upon their debut appearance upon U.S. “Enter The Ninja” grew on me, as did every other demo I could get my hands on at the time. My mental allegation has yet to be confirmed or denied, but one thing’s for sure: these (possible) juggalos can spit legit. The cover and back for 5 was shot by photographer Niel Bekker in Cape Town, South Africa.I’ll be the first to admit, when I first saw Die Antwoord’s viral video “Enter The Ninja”, I thought we were dealing with a crazy band of South African Juggalos. "Enter The Ninja" debuted at #37 in the UK Music Charts on 19 September 2010. The review concluded that 'Enter the Ninja' was 'still as infectious, fascinating, witty and beautifully trashy as ever', noting 'Wat Kyk Jy?' and 'Fish Paste' as other standouts, and observing the fusion of musical styles in a similar manner to the Consequence of Sound review ('an odd blend of rave and 90's euro-pop'). Ī review by online music retailer Insound noted that whilst the rerelease of some tracks from the initial internet release of $O$ might mute the impact of the EP, it was perhaps better that some of the hype regarding the band had died down, allowing the music to be judged on its own merits. The generally positive review concluded that 5 was "a fantastic prelude to a debut the perfect thing to get you primed for their upcoming debut, $O$.", and that the EP was "a breath of fresh air and the perfect introduction to the South Africans, Die Antwoord".
Ĭonsequence of Sound noted the fusion of hip hop with rave, and also mentioned the presence of lyrics in Afrikaans. Rolling Stone magazine noted the use of both Afrikaans and English in Ninja's lyrics, whilst also mentioning the problem this presents for people not used to his strong South African accent, but ultimately concluded that "Die Antwoord don't dispense with rap clichés – they give them a new accent that's both disorienting and thrilling".
