They are signed to subgroups of Warner Music and Universal. If you think they have free reign over their work you are crazy. Their dumb shit just sells well. I could say the same thing about most artists. Stop it.
I actually like that song. Why does everybody hate it? The beat makes me happy and I can easily ignore Lil Yachty. The other nigger got some flow. He's taking a bunch of shit but that beat, tho.

2011–2013: Ten$ion, record label dispute In November 2011, Die Antwoord left Interscope Records over a dispute concerning their upcoming album and its lead single, "Fok Julle Naaiers".[24] Visser explained that Interscope "kept pushing us to be more generic" in order to make more money: "If you try to make songs that other people like, your band will always be shit. You always gotta do what you like. If it connects, it's a miracle, but it happened with Die Antwoord."[5] Die Antwoord formed their own independent label, Zef Recordz, and released their new album Ten$Ion through it.[25] The release was in association with the Good Smile Company (a Japanese company that is also making Die Antwoord toys) and Downtown Records, which is handling the marketing and distribution for the record worldwide.[3] Ten$Ion included three more singles following "Fok Julle Naaiers": "I Fink U Freeky", "Baby's on Fire", and "Fatty Boom Boom". The singles included on Ten$Ion began to bring Die Antwoord more into the global spotlight as they were invited to perform on American talk shows and featured in an Alexander Wang advertisement. However the album was met with average to poor reviews by many critics. Ten$Ion was followed up with a non-album single, "XP€N$IV $H1T".
The whole Zef movement and their trashy personas are made up characters. The dude is a hipster comedian and the girl studied art. No gangster rap, sorry. Try again. The label dispute was probably a marketing stunt.
The Hip Hop culture is a jedi invention but I still disagree. One shouldn't primarily identify with the values portrait through Rap music etc. but if you treat it as entertainment it's fine.
