ethan, compare the number of responses to this thread with the ones on Arular, and the number of threads started in the last couple of days. Then return to the water cooler.

HISTORY WILL MAKE LIARS OUT OF ALL OF US.
Not that it matters (and I don't know about the Streets fans cuz I wasn't one) but I seriously doubt I won't like this album in a year or twos time. BUT even if I don't well who gives a fuck, what kind of joyless hack listens to records thinking "is the record that will stand the test of time"?

ethan your critique would have more weight if you'd actually give the stuff a listen - "fake dancehall" is beneath you & your hateration is kinda weird to me, it's not even like you! people love MIA 'cause she's doing something kinda different, is that really so odd/loathesome? you've got this rockist thing goin' here ("why are they loving this and not GOOD MUSIC"), how is that even your schpiel, it's not

About time someone mentioned Hattie Collins' racist piece of shit article in The Guide a few weeks back, praising MIA for "not being too Asian".

Most of what makes MIA threads so long is how vitrolic her detractors get.

A new raver before it was old. A baile funk/pop pioneer before CSS and Bonde De Role emerged. A quirky female singer/rapper before the Mini Allens had worked out how to log on to MySpace. [...] It was US bloggers who gave her a leg up, after the British media initially found her too hipster and she was shut out on all sides; not "Asian" enough for the Asian media, nor street enough for the urban crowd - ironic given her upbringing could make even Lil' Kim's life look Little Bo Peep-like.
