Default M.I.A. \"Arular\"

Holy shit is this album good. Believe the hype. Top 10 of 2005 for sure.

Also, I think I'm in love. She's absolutely beautiful.

I agree with you on all counts. I wish more women dressed like she does in that video.

eh, I heard one song and it sounded kind of eurotrashy, but I still listen to it.

This song is basically a rework of a brazilian Baile Funk track. Baile Funk is kinda like a combination of old electro & miami bass with portuguese lyrics over it. Heres a track that uses the same sample (lots of baile funk tracks use this):

Injecao - Deise Tigrona

DJ Diplo (from Hollertronix fame) is behind alot of her beats. He made a mix before her album dropped called 'Piracy Funds Terrorism', that remixs a bunch of her stuff. At her live shows she mostly uses HIS remixes, not her originals!

And yeah....its about a fricken far from Gwen Stefani as possible. Except that Diplo did do a remix of 'Hollerback girl'.

That Diplo remix CD is on point, as is most of Diplo's work.

Funny thing. I just listened to Bucky Done Gun on Yahoo Launch, and guess what the song right after it was? Yup, Hollaback Girl. So, at least the monkeys categorizing the music on Yahoo Launch consider M.I.A. and Stefani pretty much the same. What does "Bucky Done Gun" mean anyway? I'm much too white and old to figure these things out.
