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

[Marco Zen]

The beat was fire

Not surprising knowing she's a Sri lanka bedwench

The song is about stereotypes of immigrants, not mocking us.

Wrong.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Song was wack as fukk anyway. Nobody bumped that shyt down here

If it wasn't for that TI track that sampled this I wouldn't even have known this song existed


I didn't just post that for daps

 

[Ricky Fontaine]

Never liked this bytch.

Forever bytching about some 3rd world southeast Asian bullshyt and finds a way to blame black people every time.

I made this post last year and nikkas doubted me.

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

Here's proof number 1

the original

Here's proof number 2

However incoherent the reason, the chorus of “Paper Planes” is contagious. “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.’ ”

"American rapper culture" is BLACK rapper culture.

She's a fake ass vulture who rides multiple waves and stays salty about the cultural dominance of blacks over every other 'minority'. fukk her

Repped for bringing the receipts that helped my argument

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

the original

I actually like that og version

MIA looks a lot like an Ex I had in that clip except she's black

 

[Rusty$hackleford]

I never understood why people liked this, I don't get the appeal. I just considered it a passing trend or they liked them stupid sound effects
Lyrics, everything was

Always felt this way about this and that song Royals.

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

This. Her and Lorde both had their biggest hits mocking black people and the culture. They are talking down to blacks and trying to tell us how to live our lives just showing they are obsessed and jealous. They try to scrub the internet to keep the M.I.A. racism covered up like they do for Gandhi when his racist history is brought up in a conversation or article. M.I.A. is in her forties so all these people trying to write off her racism as naive millennial airheadedness are full of shyt. She knows exactly what the fukk she is saying and doing.

Always felt this way about this and that song Royals.

I don't get how Royals is mocking. Also by 2013 isn't materialism a mainstream topic for pop songs? Doesn't seem aimed at black people IMO

Lol the fact she's made out to be some type of third world spokesperson... someone here said Kendrick is the Che Guevara t-shirt of Hip-Hop well that broad is the Che Guevara t-shirt of whatever music genre she's sharking at the moment.

Perfect description. And when it was time to cash out she married a rich Jewish dude whose family is knee deep in corporate money. Chick is about as "real" as a five dollar Indian.
