I recently drove from L.A. to San Francisco in a poorly air conditioned car and the only thing that kept me going was listening to M.I.A.'s Arular over and over. "I got the bombs to make you blow/ I got the beats to make you bang!"
Yes, we were on her back in the day, but now she is back with a vengeance. She's been standing up for her rights -- as Samhita at Feministing points out -- especially in this controversial interview with Pitchfork magazine, who she called out for spreading so-called rumors about her.
Regardless, "Paper Planes" is probably my favorite song from the new album. I think the Timbaland track BLOWS! It just doesn't seem to come together what do people think?
Also, um, I have such a crush on Diplo and M.I.A. together. I think I have watched this silly 58 second clip like 20 times.
