M.I.A.

Way back in the day (aka 2004) a friend
played some M.I.A. and that shit didn't sound like anything I'd ever heard before. I was a fan, and when "
Paper Planes" got turned into one of the
biggest rap songs of the year all the better. But since then M.I.A.'s married a billionaire, flipped out on anyone who dared criticize her and, worst of all, aside from
one dope video has become predictably boring.
You can see Nicki Minaj going down the exact same road: "I'm crazy! But in the exact same way every single time!" But both in the interest of keeping my blood pressure in check and giving credit where credit is due, I have to acknowledge that
MissInfo already broke here the fuck down when it comes to her new single
"Bad Girls":
"...sounds pretty much like you’d expect. It’s not horrible. It’s just disappointing. “Bad Girls” sounds like Gwen Stefani adopting another new ethnicity, or Eve giving it another go with whoever Dr. Dre has locked in his basement, or Kreyshawn doing an Old Navy ad. Zzzz."
Preach! I can't think of another time an artist has gone from "you gotta hear this shit" to "I'm so tired of this shit" so quickly. Wake me when she does something that's actually original.
