Well, I tried to comprehend the article and I’m usually fairly good at that. Still have the “WTF” did that even mean playing in my head now. Oh well. 5 minutes I’ll never get back. LOL!
Am I rooting for MIA and where can I find him?
Became aware of MIA twenty years ago and loved the āKALAā album largely because of my affection for āPaper Planes.ā She has been intriguing and somewhat provocativeā curious now as she was always celebrated politically. She is now fifty years old so maybe the āheart/headā truism is in play.
From Apple Music:
M.I.A.ās dissonant fusion of hip-hop, pop, punk, electronic, dancehall, and African folk blurs the line between revelry and rebellion. Born Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam in 1975, the singer/rapper was raised in London after her family escaped the civil war in their home of Sri Lanka. As a young refugee with a revolutionary father, she turned to art as her own form of activismā¦.
M.I.A. continues to push boundariesāand plenty of buttons. Her bold, politically charged albums are packed with defiant, danceable salvos like The Clash-sampling megahit āPaper Planesā from 2007ās Kala and the Middle Eastern-inspired empowerment anthem āBad Girlsā from 2013ās Matangi. Itās safe to say, in the hands of M.I.A., no genreāand no borderāis off-limits.
Who are these people and why is anyone listening to anything they have to say? Is this more Rap Crap? Somebody’s parading his Republican affiliation to a Snoop Dog-ish crowd? That’s like going to Louisville’s West End looking for construction laborers.
MIA is a very talented musician...had several of her albums.
WHO??? Never heard of it.
