I’m tired of pop stars who say, ‘Give peace a chance.’ I’d rather say, ‘Give war a chance.’ The whole point of going to the Grammys was to say, ‘Hey, 50,000 people are gonna die next month, and here’s your opportunity to help.’ And no one did.”
RIGHT ON.

if we're gonna call her out for being a hypocrite, what about all the MC's who reference "the struggle" and their Maybach in the same couplet? I'm trying to figure out why MIA is worthy of being called out and not everyone else who was on stage with her at the Grammy's that night. I really hope it's not her status as woman :/
― Blancminaj (Spinspin Sugah), Monday, 31 May 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
allow me to connect points 'a' and 'b' for you -- the idea behind those songs is that the maybach was earned through the struggle/hard work/hustling. i know "Juicy"'s subtext is supersubtle but

does "hustling" include selling crack to your already poverty stricken neighbors?

can't believe ppl are making fun of MIA when nobody in the world has ever made fun of rappers :(

I mean, I know it's beyond cliche to say something is very "Nathan Barley," but M.I.A. just said "The record kind of goes to different places. A bit emo... and a bit digital ruckus. Moshpit. It's kind of... muzak. It's infotainment."
― Becky Facelift, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 01:07 (thirteen years ago) link
It's infotainment.
So Dan was quite literally right with the KRS-One comparison upthread, then.

do you think she's going to get krs one in to do a guest spot?

i read the new york times article. it's easy to see it's a biased piece, but i'd also say it's likely more truthful and insightful than MIA ever will be.

KRS-1 is a great comparison.

ughsiguhfiguhrfuh i know im not known for being an MIA fan so u might disregard this but KRS's career shits all over MIA's

you could say that, these days, they are both sounding a bit batshit & politically self righteous but thats about where the comparisons end
