      1. Good to hear some open minded reviews from people who don’t limit thier listening to just one form of music.

    1. I have absolutely no idea why this is posted here, but I dig it. I dig me some MIA. But really, why post this here? Hip-hop fans are some of the most closed minded motherfuckers on the planet. MIA is a great artist, and is respected by hip-hop artists, but posting her music on a hip-hop website is another thing.

    2. all i know is i want this instrumental so i can rip this beat…but i cant enjoy this cause i have no idea what the fuck she’s sayin…but his beat is vybin…3stars cause of the beat

    3. I applaud MIA for furthering the limits applied to this genre, but ummm I’d read that she was designing a never before heard sound… this sounds like japanese cartoon’s heirplanes to me. shouts 2 lupe

    4. Wtf!!!???
      did the other half of this traack get fukked up while beinhg uploaded!
      or do u have to be on acid to just consider liking this???

    5. Great track! Is M.I.A. moving away from brazilian and african sounds, to the often visited streets of New York 70s punk?

      M.I.A. taps into the upcoming fashionable genre of no-wave with a dance twist, “rapping” to legendary punk band Suicide. For those dismissing this track, please consider the following: the late 70s was the birth of punk, and in Manchester, England, the sound most commonly associated with punk was presented by bands such as The Sex Pistols. This was typified by a 4/4 time signature and more often than not, a pop song structure. But during this time across the ocean, New York was producing no-wave, a punk genre more intricate with a time signature often mirroring that of hip hop. Suicide is one of these no wave bands painting a landscape of luxury and despair.

      Can’t wait to hear more from MIA post Diplo.

    8. She’s not afraid to experiment and blend genre’s which Hip Hop is a mixture of all music. Sounds kinda like some Rave shit.

    9. Nice track! But has M.I.A. moved away from brazilian and african sounds, to the often visited streets of New York 70s punk?

    11. This shit is HOT!!! It is amazing what commercial hip hop can do to peoples musical mindset. Because anyone that doesn’t like this is CRAZY!

    12. man this shit is crack…dont comment if ur a dumb yung mfer “i dont want to live for tomorrow i wanna push for today”

    13. i really enjoyed the different sound, the lyrics were missing substance , great beat i rate it 4 stars over all it incorporated various forms of music, rock-hiphop-

    14. i don wan talk bout money…… cuz i gut it ill! not feelin the track? stanky legg ya mouse to a wacka flocka track corn ball

    15. legit. i was just wondering when shes gonna come back after hearing paper planes again, which is a classic track

    16. i dont know why she call out gaga……gaga wouldnt do a song like this and MIA wouldnt do Poker Face or bad Romance. Have u forgotten some differences MIA? Gaga can sing…..and ur a rapper, Gaga is like a classically trained Pianist and MIA is talented, but is not a piano player from what I know……and MIA is much harder than Gaga.
