Die Antwoord. The music tickles a particular part of my brain, but they're accused of some truly heinous shit.

Do I dare ask? I have this sinking feeling it's racism related...
Typical dodgy celebrity stuff, support young artists get them high, rape..
And then there's Racism, and exploiting kids
I think Ninja told some girl he wanted to fuck her after he told her she looked like his daughter.
I have a weird interest in South African rock music. I would buy SA CD compilations on ebay and discogs Nd listen to all the cool SA bands. One of them had a track by an artist called Max Normal. The track fucking slapped. No one in the US has heard of these SA artists I listen to. One day I mention my interest to a coworker and he said something like "oh man, you should check out Die Antwood." So, I did. I'm reading about Die Antwood and I had a holy fuck moment. They were the same artist on that compilation CD. They changed their name to Die Antwood. The artist of an obscure track on a compilation CD I have went on to become an internationally known artist. I also found out they are pretty shitty people. Life is crazy sometimes.
I always disagreed with the world a bit on Will Smith’s big slap. I think he shouldn’t have done it, but I also think it was over-demonized. I recognize the preceding conversation as basically Hart making fun of a woman for having cancer. That doesn’t deserve a slap, but I understand why it happened. People have brought up prior drama in the Smith family but it always felt irrelevant to me.
The other bit to it is the feeling that “Violence is never the answer. Ever.” That’s a good sentiment to have when a parent is angry at their children. But there are some really horrible people in the world. People who don’t react to logic, reason, or emotion; and who pretend that they do in order to get what they want. When pushed past all reasonable limits by some people, violence should be the answer. A lot more people in this world deserve to get slapped. Whether Kevin Hart is one of those? I don’t know. I certainly don’t think of him as a saint.
