Exactly. And because I'm rather ignorant of the cultural context, I have no idea how to begin parsing those visuals. How much of that actually racist? How much of it inadvertently racist (because I'm pretty sure in South Africa, even a relatively progressive viewpoint can still be quite racist. See: minstrel)? Or is it all satirical/purposefully racially confrontational to make anti-racist statements? Are some parts just pure abstraction for weirdness' sake? Can any of those really be separated?
All I know for sure is that those two are incredibly skilled rap artists, whoever is doing their videos is incredibly skilled, and I can't look away.
