MIA

oh
my
fucking
god

at this terrible song

lol that 'unedited interview' is like 2010 spinal tap, right down to the british accent

smh so hard

hey hey baby girl you and me need to eat french fries

Isn't the MIA song just her over Various Production's "Hater"?

Heh yeah.

truffled fries sound disgusting

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 :/

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

no, deej, actually, its her status as a woman

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

truffaluffagus

today is a banner day for spinspin sugah

wish rappers would sell truffle fries to their poverty-stricken neighbors

like i told you to sell drugs... no
hov did that, so hopefully you won't have to go thru that

I really hope it's not their status as rappers :/

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

when will people start criticizing gangsta rap

i hope MIA's music hasn't been banned from stores cuz her status as a woman

you guys are so cute.

to all the people that lived above the
buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on
me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter

i mean this kind of owns its own contradictions so

never 4 get fries-gate

whoa that was some real enlightening music discussion from me just there

it was so cute.

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."

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?

oops snap ned

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.

Every story is biased.

It makes life more fun.

KRS-1 is a great comparison.

krs made awesome music for like a good dozen years or so

jus sayin

MIA has made some good songs over the past few years as well.

if MIA = KRS, i "can't wait" for 10 years from now

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

• both love truffle fries

KRS's career shits all over MIA's

...this and more in this month's issue of "NO DOY" magazine!

*both wear dayglo spandex

oh hey whineys back

She added: "Everyone on the internet is like, 'Oh my God, come and join Facebook!' They’re all so optimistic… and really, everyone is fucking you up behind the screens. And I don't like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that. Google and Facebook were developed by the CIA, and when you're on there, you have to know that."

Amazing. She really is turning into the female Bobby Gillespie.

nice gif xps

mia is clever but obv a complete fantasist

of course not all pop stars shd be like that but it helps that a few are
