      I guess she took some inspiration from Solange Knowles videos... But I can't really get to like this audio..
      Props to the choreography though.

      SpaceLion87 you sound like you're not even remotely creative. You know two artists can think of something similar without stealing it from one another?

    • @SpaceLion87
      @SpaceLion87 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks to *gmo saur* for directing me to check out and compare actually.
      I'm sorry *mm1996* but I have never used the word "stealing" in my comment. ;)
      And the fact that they both performed in the Webster Hall (vulture festival 2014) also singing together, I can see how I jumped to the conclusion that there was something influential from each other. I didn't know M.I.A until this video honestly. Hope it clears so you don't take it personally accusing people you meet on youtube of 'not being even remotely creative' ;) Don't take it personal.

    M.I.A.'s commentary on the oppression of Sri Lankan Tamils, Palestinians and African Americans has drawn praise and criticism.[231] The United States has restricted her access into and out of the country during her career since the release of her debut album.[232] M.I.A. notes that the voicelessness she felt as a child dictated her role as a refugee advocate and voice lender to civilians in war during her career.
    An artists speaks the truth and uses her platform to visually portray the present that will soon be history written in history books anyway and isn't allowed in the United States? That is a form of oppression. That is proving her point. Keep making music M.I.A. we all support you.

      There are many forms of oppression in America. (US)America is especially a country that has a lot of double standards. One can only wish they lived in a world where peace and freedom really reigns. THAT WOULD BE ONE TYPE OF TRUE HAPPINESS!

      I think the whole aesthetic of her “Boyz” video inspired Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” video; and I remember Rih mentioning that she was a fan.
      And then there’s the other outfit she’s wearing in this video, the long veil fully covering her face with the matching bodysuit. I think Kim Kardashian has used that look recently.

    M.I.A. it's probably one of the most notorious "accidents" in Mainstream music to become highly popular.Doesn't matter if the same music industry who tried to suck her blood during "Paper Plans" Era was the same who ignored her miserably during the brilliants "MAYA","Matanji" and even her latest "AIM"...
    She probably will never hit the charts again but her evolution has been unpredictable,delicious,exciting,chaotic & imperfect...the perfect soundtrack for this sign of the times..
    I really hope she regrets with that bullshit of not wanting to record again. World needs REAL artists like her.

    Lyrics :
    I know my mind
    In me I'm gonna find
    This is my time
    And I'm searching for the signs
    Throw up my hands
    Say this is people power
    Throw up my finger and I'm taking on the Tower
    Don't you wanna
    Tell me if you're gonna
    Put down your armour
    Promise no more drama
    You know me I don't watch TV
    People watching me are only gonna see
    I'm not your enemy FBI checking me
    Curbing my money but that don't bother me
    I'm much tougher
    I don't need the buffer
    I keep it light
    Keep my head out the gutter
    I'ma do it now
    I'ma do it
    I'ma do it now
    I'ma do it
    I'ma do it now
    I'ma show you how
    Put your hands up
    Put your middle fingers in the air
    M.I.A. make it spray like it's raining up in here
    Think you're getting baptised
    With the sweat on your tree
    Where where where
    You say where my water there
    You say wa wa wa wa wa
    I say pa pa pa pa pa
    You say wa wa wa wa wa
    I say pa pa pa pa pa
    Supa-kala fascist, racist, espi-ala-tazors
    Posers with cases
    They better not erase us
    Batta come face us
    I'm not Rihanna
    I'm not Madonna
    I'm not Mariah
    Or Ariana
    I've been around in this world causing drama
    The real spice girl, hot girl power
    Don't you wanna
    Tell me if you're gonna
    Put down your armour
    Promise no more drama
    Throw my hands
    Say this is people power
    Throw up my finger and I'm taking on the Tower
