they are artists 100%. they use what they need to in order to express themselves. Andy Warhol used soup cans and people called his work shit and not “Real ART”.. Die Antwoord embraced hip hop, a popular culture form of communication and used it to attract people so they could be heard. how is that fake in any way? plus they got mad skills. I just streamed the whole maxnormal.tv album “good morning south africa” on the new lofi dot com and one listen will make you a believer. this shit is the answer.
