Is M.I.A.‘s Middle Finger The Worst Thing We’ve Seen On American Television? (Video)

I can answer that with a swift "hell to thee no." Fact of the matter is the media needs something "controversial" to talk about and the closest thing they got to that was M.I.A.'s finger which happens to be in the middle of her hand. It was a bit uncalled for, but we've seen way worse on basic television. In fact, I think I heard the Geico pig call someone a "stank ass hoe" in a recent commercial. See more...

The Halftime Show Starts Early Thanks To Madonna & Friends “Give Me All Your Luvn” (Video Breakdown)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/03/12 | Filed under Nicki Minaj, Video Breakdown, M.I.A.

Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and Madonna in a music video together? If there ever were a time for a video breakdown it's definitely now. Despite featuring two rappers, "Give Me All Your Luvn" consists of what feels like about 8-milliseconds of actual rapping but with Nicki Minaj's recent streak of God-awful lyricism I'm not complaining.

MissInfo Beats Me to the “F**k MIA’s “Bad Girls’ Stance (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/30/12 | Filed under 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 and, worst of all, aside from one dope video has become predictably boring. See more...

M.I.A. Downs Shots of “Teqkilla (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/06/10 | Filed under Downloads, Nicki Minaj, Remixes, M.I.A.

Here's M.I.A.'s plan. Drop a crazy, electronically-oriented single aimed at club going hipster kids, and then throw on a popular rapper on the remix in order to suck in the hip-hop crowd as well. It's what she did with Jay for the "XXXO Remix", and she's pulled out the same formula again for her new "Teqkilla (Remix)", only this time around she's recruited Nicki Minaj. Listen and download...

If today's first two posts are any indication, today we're going to be hit with a barrage of tracks featuring r&b/pop-singers and higly coveted rap legends.

The Meaning Behind M.I.A.‘s Powerful New “Born Free” Video

Posted by Jacques "Jooks" Morel on 04/27/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Videos, M.I.A., Jacques "Jooks" Morel

As Americans we have the luck of not having to deal with much strife and instability. We do not need to worry about walking into a coffee shop only to have it explode a few seconds after ordering.
MIA (remember the pregnant chick performing "Swagger Like Us"? Yeah…that’s her) released a new video to her new single, “Born Free”. Judging by the various comments, the song was seen as controlled noise; I beg to differ. See more...

M.I.A. Was “Born Free” (Video & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/27/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Videos, M.I.A.

Usually I watch videos and have no shortage of witty commentary about the visuals that have just passed before my eyes (or so I'd like to believe), but sometimes a video comes along that is so mind-boggling all you can do when it ends is ask, "what the fuckity fuck was that shit?' That's exactly the case with the always boundary-pushing M.I.A. and the new video for her single "Born Free". How can I describe "Born Free"? Hmmm....well, basically picture a world in which the people who think gingers have no souls have taken over the country and insititued a ginger holocaust. See more...

M.I.A. Puts the NY Times on Blast With “Space Odyssey” (Video)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/15/10 | Filed under Features, Videos, M.I.A.

Earlier this week the New York Times named Sri Lanka as its top travel destination of the year, which would have been all good if it weren't for the fact that human rights atrocities in the country are continuing after a decades long civil war (oops), a fact Sri Lankan native M.I.A. is furiously pointing, tweeting "F**K NEW YORK TIMES" and releasing a new protest video, "Space Odyssey".
