So M.I.A. was mocking black culture on Paper Planes?

[Kilgore Trout]

That's a lie.

Diplo stated in a magazine interview that the song was mocking black/"hip hop" culture. Then mia started making this false narrative about how revolutionary it was after it started to get bigger.

The cash register sound effects are there to cover up the real lyrics which are taken from wreckx-n-effect's rump shaker "All i wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom in the pum pum". They couldn't clear the vocal so they covered it with samples. The original version was on the net back then but now it's gone

Any confirmation of this? I couldnt find anything on google

“I never thought the song was political,” Diplo told me. “Mostly, Maya was making fun of American rapper culture. ‘Paper Planes’ was making fun of being what American kids are into, of being ‘gangsta.’ ”
