# Watch Die Antwoord’s Mental Video For the Aphex-Sampling Track “Ugly Boy”
Nearly six months after South African rap troupe Die Antwoord released
its third LP, Donker Mag, he zef disciples have returned with a video
for "Ugly Boy." According to the Donker Mag album inserts (as quoted by
Rap Genius), the track was "a mindfuck" to write due to he bandmates'
history: frontman Ninja and leading lady Yo-Landi Vi\$$er broke up, then
Visser started to date a Capetown gangster, who provided the inspiration
for "Ugly Boy." Although we can't imagine helping a former flame express
her infatuation with a new lover, Die Antwoord managed to mold the
tension into a killer track and a mental video.
"Ugly Boy" slaps romantic-yet-unsettling verses over a beefed-up sample
of "Ageispolis" by [former live collaborator][1]{: target="_blank"}
Aphex Twin, whose logo can be spotted on a white hoody alongside a
suitably eccentric wardrobe of gold tracksuits and raven outfits.
There's even time to squeeze in a series of cameos from Marilyn Manson,
Flea, The ATL Twins, and Jack Black.
UPDATE: We've embedded the non-German version below.
