zef
Zef music is the natural result of a South African owning a PC computer and having serious gangster skill on the mic.
More specifically, Zef is a South African counter-culture movement. Jack Parow, in an interview, describes the movement as "It's kind of like posh, but the opposite of posh." Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord is quoted as saying, "It's associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy. You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style." Read Full BioZef music is the natural result of a South African owning a PC computer and having serious gangster skill on the mic.

You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style."
Zef has entered into the international lexicon (c. Jan 2010) as a result of the music of Die Antwoord and their self-identifying as "zef" in style. Zef is a style of music, performed in English and Afrikaans, rather than the broad category described by the term "Afrikaans music."
Ninja of Die Antwoord has an optimistic view of what zef music is. In an interview Jan 2011, Ninja responded to the controversy arising from his claim zef represented South Africa. Critics suggested it might rather just represent white South Africa. He commented that racism is somewhat obsolete and a thing of the past for South Africans. He observes that the cultures "have very merged." The end of apartheid has led to "not a harmonious merging, but fucked into one thing" of cultures previously kept "forceably apart.... It kind of works in a dysfunctional way." He suggests for the average South African, the question of his race is moot. He claims this controversy is based in the world's old perceptions of South Africa. While South Africa has been changing for over thirty years, international perception has not. In the same interview, Ninja describes that zef is a style of music and a style of subculture, comparing it to hip-hop in its role in society.

Baby's on Fire
by Die Antwoord
Baby's on fire
Boom, boom boom
It's show time, motherfucker, it's on
Apocalypse now, I'm dropping this bomb
You can't fuck with this song
I stick to this spliff I'm not clampin this bong
I'm a wild child, I don't wanna go to bed
Uh shit sorry man I'm stoned again
Aooooh and now everything's getting so psychedelic
When I'm doos dronk and forget all my fuckin lyrics
Like umm ah who gives a fuck?
Don't worry bout it just blow a kiss to me
I like danger I mean it's a mystery
I'm a lucky ducky gettin' mad shit for free
I rap more bling than Mr. T
I make it look easy 'cos it is to me
My daddy says is like a to see
A South African cherrie makin' history
Baby's on fire
She got me going fuckin crazy since
O jirre god se jesus
Baby's on fire
She got me going fuckin crazy since
O jirre god se Jesus
Baby's on fire
Hi-Tek drop that four to the floor
I get real paid what you think I do this for
My bodyguard help me get to the bar
Niell Blomkamp's making me a movie star
A lotta bad boys want a piece of me
If you're lucky boy, I'll let you sneak a peek
My Zef-style's motherfuckin' freaky-deak
I don't want beef 'cos I don't eat no meat
Fuck your whole shit up when I freak the beat
I love it when Jimmy talks sweet to me
I take a trip down memory lane
Like, yo fuck fifteen seconds of fame
I'm a young blood coming up fresh in the game
Yo-landi Visser, motherfucker yo remember the name
Baby's on fire
She got me going fuckin crazy
O jirre god se jesus
Baby's on fire
She got me going from
O jirre god se jesus
Baby's on fire
Ah, freak out!
No need to get so deep, notin quite like a motherfuckin techno beat
A techno beat, A techno beat a techno a techno a techno beat
You know me, maar ek ken jou nie
Ek ken jou nie, ek ken jou nie, ek ken jou, ken jou, ken jou nie
Baby's on fire
Baby's on fire
She got me going from
O jirre god se Jesus
Baby's on fire
She got me going from
O jirre god se Jesus
Baby's on fire
Flame on, motherfuckers
