M.I.A. continues war against Lady Gaga
2
“You know for me it was about the fact that I said, ‘Fuck The New York Times,’ quite a few times and it was written about and then in the article it was ignored, when that was what was interesting. So why would they put me on the cover of The New York Times? That question was really interesting to me, she (journalist) didn’t really explore it, she just took a cheap shot. For the first time you have the tools to fight back. Imagine if Amy Winehouse and Lindsay Lohan and all these people were able to fight back using the internet, because you can. The New York Times was going to try and discredit my words and my experiences. I think you know what? I might have been a bit impulsive, but I think what we have found [is] a new way to deal with news. Lady Gaga is someone who lives completely within [the industry]. That’s what you can get if you say ‘yes.’ I would have those outfits on and my hair would look like that and those are the songs I would sing. Everybody else on my label’s budget would get cut in order for my Grammy performance with Elton John to be banging.”

M.I.A.’s album “/\/\/\Y/\” has leaked!

M.I.A.’s third and eagerly anticipated new album /\/\/\Y/\ has leaked onto the internet and it’s being shut down as soon as it popping up. But, it’s popping up everywhere. But, we hear rave reviews about it. The first single “Born Free” was utter crap, but “XXXO” is growing massively on us. Please don’t download, but buy the album as M.I.A. needs support. Good times.
M.I.A. releases new single “XXXO” with Jay-Z
A few years back, M.I.A. wanted to retire from the scene following her second album Kala. It did well in the underground scene but then just subsided. Then a little movie by the name of Slumdog Millionaire used one of her tracks, arguably a weaker one, by the name of “Paper Planes.” The movie went on to become a big hit and pulled that song with it. She now enjoys mainstream success and somehow, this underdog who was doing it for the art, is back with a new album aptly selfishly eponymous third album by the name of /\/\/\Y/\, which spells out Maya, her short name. Well, in order to authenticate her “credible” music roots she has lashed out at Gaga numerously and released a fluffer first single with a video made just to be banned. “Born Free” is the kind of unlistenable balderdash you get from riot grrl chic aspirants. Now that her hard edge is back with this here-now, gone-tomorrow song and video, M.I.A. is ready to launch her full-fledged commercial money-making career with a good single by the name of “XXXO.” But, she had to go ruin it with a Jay-Z collaboration for the a little extra extra. Everybody’s gotta cash in somehow!

M.I.A. admires Madonna and disses Lady Gaga

M.I.A. recently did an interview with the NY Times, and gave her opinion on both Madonna and Lady Gaga.
“Madonna is the one. Madonna did amazing songs. She had an amazing sense of style, without a stylist. And she was flawed, and sometimes she admitted it. I’ll fight the fight for Madonna. I think she should send me some chocolates or something to thank me.”
“With our video, we were really copying ‘Telephone.’ Both our videos are road movies. We kill people, and they kill people. They start out in a prison, and we start out in a squat, hunting people down. I can’t talk about GaGa anymore. All I’ll say is, it’s upsetting when babies say ga-ga now. It used to be innocent. Now, they’re calling her name. You can’t really say that GaGa is culturally a change. Madonna was truly unique.”

M.I.A. calls third album “/\/\/\Y/\”
1
One to file under the weird album names next to Sigur Ros’s (), M.I.A. has gone and called her album /\/\/\Y/\. Yes, that’s right. It’s called /\/\/\Y/\. Like: “did you get your copy of /\/\/\Y/\?” Well, there is reasoning behind this. She called her first album after her father, Arular, then she called the second album Kala after her mother. But, this album is called /\/\/\Y/\ because it looks like “Maya” – M.I.A.’s real name. So, there it is. It’s a novel name, but we like it.
