M.I.A. vs. Some shitty hip hop

M.I.A. vs. Some shitty hip hop
Duh, we all knew M.I.A. would do something shitty at some point. This remix is actually not that bad, but to be honest it just doesn’t hit me too hard. I want to expect more but I just can’t.

We all love her though. I am crossing my fingers her next album isn’t too over produced, as we’ve seen with other underground acts in the past.

Who gives a shit about this song?

wow smexci site man, loving the tape thing at the top. but ur right about this track, i thort it was pretty blarg for m.i.a – it's alright – trying to be dark and moody with those industrial clanx but maybe it'll grow on me. loving ur site btw :D

rough.

i think more than anything it's a shitty rip. though… certainly not her best.

Yeah, I definitely heard this and was not impressed…I'm not necessarily convinced that this is a sign of things to come though. Most of the songs that she's been featured on have been disappointing compared to her own material. Even the one with Missy! You'd think a Missy/M.I.A. collabo would be the most amazing thing to ever meet your ears, but it doesn't quite hit the right spot.

it's a mess…

i think it's a pretty decent song…the fact that M.I.A. is on it makes it 100X better…sorry for the fanboyism…hehe

that nump song is really good. bizzaro land hyphy weirdenss is simply not just some shitty hip hop.

also, I hear MIA is doing her new album in indian with bollywood producers, and its going to sound like some shitty indian film dance music.

it's funny because we hardcore fans found this over a month ago and had our little laugh…I guess now it's hitting the blogosphere. A little late, but whatev.

It basically sucks.

What's awesome in terms of weird rare stuff w/MIA is Apace Riddim, and no even knows what that is.

I didn't care much for it at first how ever I caught my self repeating that "me, me, me,me,me-deely, deely,deely, dee" part in my head LOL so I listened to it again, It is not bad.. Not her best but you can't alway pick a winner…

sophmore efoorts are always haed, and in all honesty I give this song a 7. Its her vocals in the beginning that keep it from scoring a little bit higher.

uh yeah everyone whos hating on the grapes remix…i promise you prolly found out about her like maybe in the last two years. so we can only expect your underdeveloped sense of m.i.a to rear its ugly head sooner or later. look the bitch is swaaanky. either love her, leave her alone or make your own fukking grapes remix. TREATED.
Captiv

this is just a teaser…she spits for a lil' over a minute…i like this song…i listened to it for a while when it came out, but i don't feel the need to listen to it anymore…lol…i don't believe it's reflective of what her new album will be like…but what i do know is that once she drops her sophomore album all you haters will be silenced…pray for it :)

True fans you guys are!

I don't know wtf you guys are talking about, I've known M.I.A. for 2 years and her sheeit is spitting like theres no tomorrow. She's the greatest and puts more effort into everything, so stop hating! Everything shje does i'm behinf her 100% and grapes is a great remix, so calm down!

I think this song is really good…

The beat is slick with nice bass, sounds like a beat she'd use anyways…The rappers in song suck though but the beat is still sick…

She should work with DJ Shadow.

Or at least with Diplo her boyfriend(?)
hm…

I like what she did with beat, adding those nice synths. If this song was ALL M.I.A. it would be amazing. Her verse is FIRE. Stupid Nump…

I thought M.I.A. made the beat COMPLETELY at first, it's very…her.
