"Umshini Wam" Teaches Us the Social Value of Rolling Around in Wheelchairs

Die Antwoord fans will likely have already seen this, but it bears seeing again because it's amazing. In an epic, 15 minute long video, Yo Landi and Ninja are nothing short of brilliant as they participate in an existential search for truth and the meaning of (gangsta, fuzzy, and South African) life.

"I'm old enough to bleed
I'm old enough to breed
I'm old enough to crack a brick in your teeth while you sleep"

In this life-changing short film, Ninja and Yo Landi explore their inner lives, try to figure out why no one takes them seriously, and make attempts to do something that makes them feel alive -- all while wheeling around in adorable footie pajamas as they smoke hilariously giant blunts.


"It's gangsta."

Indeed it is, Ninja. Indeed it is. Much like Die Antwoord themselves, this video is fucking awesome. How awesome, you ask? Well, it gets the Flynt Flossy hump of approval.


In parting, I leave you with my current favorite Die Antwoord music video, "Baby's on Fire". Also mind-bogglingly cool. My dreams will be fulfilled the day I join Ninja and Yo Landi in a joint high five. Which, let's be clear, is a high five with ginormous joints.



Keepin' it real, internets.
