48. Die Antwoord, 'Enter the Ninja'
The year 2010 got off to a bizarre start when the video for this South African "zef rap-rave" track went viral, racking up millions of hits on YouTube and sending hipster tastemakers Pitchfork, Vice and NME scrambling to figure out if Die Antwoord was a big put-on or the real deal (answer: a bit of both, actually). Even without the video's striking visuals, "Enter the Ninja" stands as one of the weirdest hip-hop tracks in recent memory—not a great song, exactly, but certainly unlike anything else happening right now.
