No M.I.A. fans here?  You guys know she isn't a one hit wonder and actually had two pretty bad ass albums.

well it aint bad in that video...but that planes shit he did was bad....you liked that?

[Javier]

Paper planes wasn't even close to my favorite song on Kala but that song just blew up out of nowhere.  I guess thanks to Pineapple Express?  And it then it seemed like every rapper was doing a verse over it.  But yeah there are many songs both albums that are way better than Paper Planes. 

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah jus not feelin her style

[Action!]

I don't know what to think of her video.  I find a hard time taking musicians as activists serious.  She's signed to a corporate label preaching about politics that are anti-capitalism yet is part of an industry that is by nature capitalist.   She's a capitalist.  She might as well just admit to it and get over herself.

The video will create some minor discussion but it will probably just offend than it will attract.

This video is fucked up, the dude blows up at the end.  Da fuck was the point of making it that vulgar?  That political shit aint hitting any harder just cuz I see a boy blown into bits.

Think about it this way, you know after Paper Planes she got a shit load of mainstream fans. Her train of thought is probably, you know what fuck it let me just go all out with my political message in this video when a lot of people are expecting Paper Planes II. 


I mean come on, many Gaga fans are saying M.I.A. is a one hit wonder, fucking M.I.A. is the true artist here.

Why quit?  That's always been part of her art.  Anyway, most of her songs are not even that political.

Are these things really anti capitalist?

-being againschild prostitution, sex trafficking
-people experiencing human rights violations, specifically poor people

That's really been the main theme of her work, when she does get political.
