what an amazing mixture of African samba beats and Tamil folk tune!! Way ahead of her time. A totally underrated artist!

[@thisisdaisyshousebitch]

Completely fucking agree with you mate.

[@alexchalmers2680]

No just the only Indian styled,bollywoodesk promoted with tons of $$$$$backed by white hollywood execs. She's high on billboard because there are millions of people from her ethnicity /India, Shrilanka, Kashmir,etc. in western countries now to buy her stuff,heavily promoted there are no more women with Hindi rooted western style music for the younger generation of kids from imigrant parents to engrave there culture and embrace there new homeland,it's like when Korn came out with bagpipes in there sound for Scottish Americans,it's the same with M.I,A. but for Indians,she's the only one heavily promoted she is not origional,listen to westernized Indian/Bollywood music,all like this just not backed with millions.

[@13Ghandi37]

Alex Chalmers i dont think you have an idea what youre talking about buddy, shes a BRITISH recording artist, she took the time to research her own culture as well as others, i.e. jamaican and of course the oldschool and trueschool AND newschool rap styles. She shown that she learnt a lot from every culture but you know whats best? she didnt copy any of them. Her music was always oryginal, it wasnt made to fit into the conventional group genres, she wasnt backed by westerners you freak actually the university she applied for in london to study music refused her at first but after a while she received a scholarship. Please show me one artist that she copied for her songs, especially the ones that got her big, i.e galang and sunshowers, who had introduced those sounds, those visual and so on.

I remember when this came out when the 90's aesthetics hadnt come back yet, thinking wow this looks so 90's everybody is doing 80's but she's doing 90's. And then the 90's style came back years later. She is always ahead even in revivals.

[@Imabarbiegirl321]

I love when boys dance

[@ursie1986]

Her sound and look are both so genuine. Can only be the result of having the guts and determination to do her best to stay true to herself, in an industry that pushes forward pretty faces with laquered on identity. You know she'd still be doing this even in a shitty council flat with a 4 track and a couple of second hand instruments. Love her. Love this song.

[@infdaysofgold]

Gosh she looks young for her age but the depth of her music clearly shows her wealth of experience! Love it!

[@dirteesyncs]

The fact that she "made it" in her late 20s to mid 30s is super inspiring. It's never too late.

THE TIME PERIOD WHEN DUBSTEP WAS DEFINED, WE WERE GETTING A LOT ORIGINAL MUSIC

[@cmichalakis]

Please don’t compare brilliance of Mia to the formulaic redundancy of dubstep.

[@dirteesyncs]

Hey! There's a such thing as non-formuliac dubstep. Ever hear of Benga? Rusko (who has produced a ton of M.I.A. tracks)? Joker? Skream? Dubstep, at it's origins, is fucking banging and it's even had some dope offshoots, like the softer stuff that Phaeleh and Burial released that hit hard. It's what it became when it hit the mainstream that turned the genre into bullshit. Thanks, Skrillex & Flux Pavilion...lol
