We laugh ourselves to sleep every night.”įrowning, his face a grave rictus of sober intent, he added: “Conceptual art, I don’t even know what that is.”įor now, neither fans, art lovers nor the machers controlling record label purse strings seem to care. Seated at a Mid-City hotel restaurant, the greyhound-thin, heavily tattooed lead rapper, Ninja (Watkin “Waddy” Tudor Jones), scoffed with undisguised scorn: “Yes, it’s a joke.

Not exactly the girl nextdoor, Yo-landi is different in every single way. Yo-landi Vi$$er is the female vocal of Die Antwoord. He claims to be the mix of many cultures and people fucked into 1 person.Let's say we can totally agree with that.(photos here) He's a perfectionist if it comes to music, arts and business.
