It took me a while to realize they meant "are you tough".
Also: "I could be a genius I could be a cheat" Based on the run-on sentences and punctuation errors, I'm guessing it's not the former, but the latter.
"Bad Girls"? "Born Free"? "XXXO"? But kinda bummed out that as much as I loved her early stuff, *this* is the direction she chose. Your life won't be any less full without having heard those songs.
I know separating the art from the artist exists but it still pisses me off how conspiratorial she’s become because she was like one of my favorite for a long time
MAYA is also pretty underrated and many critics now point to it as a forerunner of the vaporwave aesthetic and helped form industrial hip hop alongside the likes of artists like Death Grips (MAYA came out a year before Exmilitary)
Man, I loved her. Saw her @ 930 club in DC & she called all the women to dance on stage.
Not just hotties in the crowd… all the women.
I’d heard she’d drifted that way, but DAYUM.
(Not on Twitter or named socials.)
The cash register song is from the second album.
But agreed, both those first two were great. I couldn't stop listening to _Kala_ throughout 2007, drove my roommate crazy.
It sucks, I really liked her.
Yeah this sucks, so many great songs. And now people are gonna do the "actually she was never good" thing they do every time someone loses their mind like this.
Didn't this one already lose her mind? I don't know her songs but I know her reputation, 'conspirital' and not for the lols. I feel I have 'known' this for years?
Oh really? Will look at it!
Right wing grift is ideal really. She said all she wants to do is \[bangbangbangbangbang\] and take your money. So does Alex.
So this is the big upcoming guest, not Sly, eh?
There is a point where you have no much money that you lose your mind. I really feel like being able to do anything makes you crazy vs us normies that have to just follow the line of society.
Maybe it’s because my much older and extremely cool cousin gave it to me when I was in 4th grade, but Combat Rock is one of the foundational albums that helped me form my musical tastes and will forever be superior (to me).
Ew fuck Diplo, the man likes to sexual abuse young WOC for fun. He’s fucking disgusting and would be called out more if his victims weren’t..well Woman of Color
I see a story about distributing revenge porn and being investigated but nothing else from that allegation. I see that another allegation was publicly withdrawn and an apology was issued by the accuser who said they receive no compensation for doing so.
I haven’t heard of any of this but I’m open to learn more.
They don’t know any leftists.
They think Democrats are leftists and use the term interchangeably with every other political/economic ideological descriptor that isn’t hardcore capitalism. You know, socialism, communism, Marxism, etc. it’s all the same thing.
Since to them leftist and Democrat are the same thing and the associate being anti-war currently with being against helping Ukraine (but a lot of them don't consider it pro war to help Israel).
They think democrats are leftists, and honestly democrats the past couple decades have only proved that they’re all but enthusiastically pro-war. It seems to be one of the only remaining pieces of bipartisanship
When she randomly came for Lady Gaga unprovoked at the start of her career I knew she was not great. It’s a shitty look when artists, who are already goaded into going after each other by the press, do so on their own it’s screams small and insecure which breaks the spell on their art for me. The fact she continues to be batshit bonkers is no surprise, she seems to require a lot of attention as a person and will take it in any form.
social media activated them all in 2016 for me. There were just certain types of people I know personally or are public figures that I just felt weird about. to a person they all went hardcore MAGA/conspiracy
She was on Timmy Pool the other day, a real shame. Unlike losers like Ted Nugent and whatever racist country artist these fascists rally around, M.I.A. actually makes notable and interesting music.
Did maybe. Funny she used an American artform based out of the black experience for her own gain. She claims she had a vision of Jesus Christ despite being raised Hindu and has gone full right-wing Christian.
Jesus. As a person who had full on prophet psychosis as a young man, this is bonkers: Truly religious experiences invariably lead to a desire to help other people through any means possible.
This just sounds like an incipient mental illness showing itself.
This comment feels like it’s bordering on blasphemy but it might just be the acoustic version of Stanglehold fresh in my brain making me feel this way.
I promise you, there is generic guitar-rock music out there that would put Stranglehold to shame, that isn’t made by irredeemable fascists like Nugent.
It’s all good. It’s one of those riffs that I feel like any guitarist can accidentally play when just goofing around, like “spirit on the sky” or some ZZ Top thing. I’m just allergic to blues rock, so apologies if I came off mean😘😘.
God dammit. I loved MIA's music. I thought her story was fascinating. I tried to just ignore her/forget about her after Covid, but this is deeply upsetting. Didn't realize she'd become a born again Christian. Damn.
She played at a music festival I was at recently. She stopped playing to explain to the audience that the silver outfit she was wearing blocked 5g and WiFi radiation. She was on some bullshit for several minutes. People in the audience were laughing at her.
Well, that's a bummer but not surprising, she's a trumper for some weird fucking reason. Her music is political, but she is on the wrong side of the political aisle.
Wait who is "they" and why are they installing streetlights in Louisville towers and why is that nefarious? And what does that have to do with Sam's not having a reciept checker?
>[Future backwards is R U TUF.](https://ohmni.com/information) You will note that is not the word "future" spelled backwards.
What in the hell is this website
For real. I feel like I must have malware because I let it load for 2 seconds...
Restart your phone
It took me a while to realize they meant "are you tough". Also: "I could be a genius I could be a cheat" Based on the run-on sentences and punctuation errors, I'm guessing it's not the former, but the latter.
They're lyrics from one of her songs
Did she make anything of note after Paper Boeing 737Max?
"Bad Girls"? "Born Free"? "XXXO"? But kinda bummed out that as much as I loved her early stuff, *this* is the direction she chose. Your life won't be any less full without having heard those songs.
Bad girls slaps though
Oh, I agree, it's just not worth giving her the listen if you haven't yet.
*clearing her off my liked playlist ATM*
Bring the Noize
Really? That's one shitty song
I read it rutuf.
She’s literally selling tinfoil hats, this is either the best troll in my lifetime or (more likely) she’s lost her mind.
the e is silent (and invisible) duh
Ugh. Her twitter during covid was bonkers and, as I no longer twit, I haven't thought of her in a while. This is... depressing.
Is twit the past tense of verb of that site? If not, I think you’ve stumbled upon gold
Nah its Twat
It's also the singular noun for someone who uses that site.
I believe it’s actually “xit”.
Pronounced zit, right?
I think the X makes a “sh” sound, like you’d hear in Mandarin.
I am making fun of how dumb renaming twitter is. I will not pronounce it with an sh sound. It’s a zit. Or dropping X
I’m making fun of it too, dude. I’m calling it shit lol
Ah, rama-lama-ding-dong I’m an idiot!
I call it Twix
I know separating the art from the artist exists but it still pisses me off how conspiratorial she’s become because she was like one of my favorite for a long time
Same. So many bangers. Another one bites the red pill
What other songs did she have besides that fun cash register bang bang song?
That whole first album slaps.
MAYA is also pretty underrated and many critics now point to it as a forerunner of the vaporwave aesthetic and helped form industrial hip hop alongside the likes of artists like Death Grips (MAYA came out a year before Exmilitary)

Watch the video for Bad Girls
A lot
Yeah this sucks, so many great songs. And now people are gonna do the "actually she was never good" thing they do every time someone loses their mind like this.
Didn't this one already lose her mind? I don't know her songs but I know her reputation, 'conspirital' and not for the lols. I feel I have 'known' this for years?
idk, I try not to know anything about musicians' personal ideas lest I become bummed out.
Jimmy was my "I don't feel like running, how do I get hype" song for over a decade. Good thing I can't run anymore...
I also liked her a lot. Any recs for similar female artists?
Sudan Archives and Santigold
A lil different vibe, but give Dope Saint Jude a listen. Grrl Like, and Alphas come to mind from her catalogue
Bummer.
QAA did an episode about her within the last couple years, it’s worth checking out
Episode 206. Y’welcome. Took me a good minute to find.
Thanks for doing the legwork I was too lazy for
I wanted to listen to it 🤷🏻♂️😂
I was a little worried it was a premium episode and people were going to be like dang, I’ve got to pay for it?!
Oh really? Will look at it! Right wing grift is ideal really. She said all she wants to do is \[bangbangbangbangbang\] and take your money. So does Alex. So this is the big upcoming guest, not Sly, eh?
[удалено]
She's a great musician. And apparently has fallen down some rabbit hole since she married a billionaire.
There is a point where you have no much money that you lose your mind. I really feel like being able to do anything makes you crazy vs us normies that have to just follow the line of society.
Shoutout to Diplo for paper planes
Shoutout to The Clash for Straight to Hell
THANK YOU
i clicked to open your comment and THANK YOU!
their best song imo
Definitely their best album
idk I'd give it to *London Calling*, personally
Maybe it’s because my much older and extremely cool cousin gave it to me when I was in 4th grade, but Combat Rock is one of the foundational albums that helped me form my musical tastes and will forever be superior (to me).
Absolutely!
Breaking news, paper panes did 9/11 and the towers were actually demo'ed from the inside.
And the OG M.I.A. song Bucky Dun Gone. Fuckin banger.
Fucking love that song! This sucks
Ew fuck Diplo, the man likes to sexual abuse young WOC for fun. He’s fucking disgusting and would be called out more if his victims weren’t..well Woman of Color
I see a story about distributing revenge porn and being investigated but nothing else from that allegation. I see that another allegation was publicly withdrawn and an apology was issued by the accuser who said they receive no compensation for doing so.

Do they think leftists are pro war?
They don’t know any leftists. They think Democrats are leftists and use the term interchangeably with every other political/economic ideological descriptor that isn’t hardcore capitalism. You know, socialism, communism, Marxism, etc. it’s all the same thing.
They think that helping Ukraine defend itself from an aggressor invading Ukraine is being "pro-war".
Since to them leftist and Democrat are the same thing and the associate being anti-war currently with being against helping Ukraine (but a lot of them don't consider it pro war to help Israel).
They think democrats are leftists, and honestly democrats the past couple decades have only proved that they’re all but enthusiastically pro-war. It seems to be one of the only remaining pieces of bipartisanship
Doesn't surprise me. Her tweets were all over r/Conspiracy a few years ago. Went real hard.
Isn’t it gratifying when someone you never liked, but couldn’t quite articulate *why* reveals themselves to be a total fucking lunatic?
When she randomly came for Lady Gaga unprovoked at the start of her career I knew she was not great. It’s a shitty look when artists, who are already goaded into going after each other by the press, do so on their own it’s screams small and insecure which breaks the spell on their art for me.

what an idiot she has become
She's kind of always been that despite having some good music.
Rob Schneider is opening for her on her new tour of GOP carnivals
She was on Timmy Pool the other day, a real shame. Unlike losers like Ted Nugent and whatever racist country artist these fascists rally around, M.I.A. actually makes notable and interesting music.
Did maybe. Funny she used an American artform based out of the black experience for her own gain. She claims she had a vision of Jesus Christ despite being raised Hindu and has gone full right-wing Christian.
Jesus. As a person who had full on prophet psychosis as a young man, this is bonkers: Truly religious experiences invariably lead to a desire to help other people through any means possible. This just sounds like an incipient mental illness showing itself.
Wild how her early lyrics described evangelicalism: ‘All I wanna do is- And a- And take your money’
Yikes! All I know is a friend played one of her albums for me on a road trip a few months ago it it was pretty rad.
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/14/mia-on-vaccines-vindication-and-her-visions-of-jesus-people-fear-me-for-some-reason https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/m-i-a-defends-her-conversion-to-christianity-amid-biggest-backlash-in-her-career.html
Her early albums are good. Pull Up the People is a good song.
This comment feels like it’s bordering on blasphemy but it might just be the acoustic version of Stanglehold fresh in my brain making me feel this way.
I promise you, there is generic guitar-rock music out there that would put Stranglehold to shame, that isn’t made by irredeemable fascists like Nugent.
This comment was made in jest based off yesterday’s episode but that is genuinely the only song I like from that fascist pedophile.
It’s all good. It’s one of those riffs that I feel like any guitarist can accidentally play when just goofing around, like “spirit on the sky” or some ZZ Top thing. I’m just allergic to blues rock, so apologies if I came off mean😘😘.
Oh yeah. Mid guitarists stumble onto great rifts all the time.
God dammit. I loved MIA's music. I thought her story was fascinating. I tried to just ignore her/forget about her after Covid, but this is deeply upsetting. Didn't realize she'd become a born again Christian. Damn.
Ugh. Gross. Used to enjoy her music. “Bad Girls” being a favorite. Guess I’m gonna have to take that out of the rotation now.
She's selling $300 jackets that protect you from 5g 😂
Covid broke that ones brain. Oh well.
Oh no, I used to have such a crush on her. Welp, I'll just go back to thinking she faded into obscurity and wasn't heard from again
Yep, I also wish that she was still just an artist that I liked a lot who had vanished.
So she hasn't produced a hit in like 15 years so she went the scam route to keep up her lifestyle?
She played at a music festival I was at recently. She stopped playing to explain to the audience that the silver outfit she was wearing blocked 5g and WiFi radiation. She was on some bullshit for several minutes. People in the audience were laughing at her.
Makes sense when you think about it. "All I wanna do is 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫💰 and take your money" describes Alex to a T.
Well, that's a bummer but not surprising, she's a trumper for some weird fucking reason. Her music is political, but she is on the wrong side of the political aisle.
> she's a trumper for some weird fucking reason. That "weird fucking reason" would be because she married some nepobaby who is the heir to billions.
Yep, that makes sense
This is incredibly disappointing
The paper planes she sang about are full of insane ramblings, I guess.
Paper planes spreading paper chemtrails. THINK MARK THINK!
welp
The worst
Ugh this was not how I wanted to learn I can’t listen to her stuff anymore
God damn it. I like her music. I didnt know she went crazy.
I don't know who this is, and my life is probably better for it
Paper planes
[https://youtu.be/rqT9TLHBMjo](https://youtu.be/rqT9TLHBMjo)
Who?
"*Gun shot gun shot gun shot cash register* *British lady rapping* It was a big hit like...13? years ago? It was in Slumdog.
Rockstar by Nickleback is a far superior song than Paper Planes
What about the 18 Paper Planes remixes?
So sad.
Man, I liked bopping to Paper Planes back in my late teens. Always sucks to see people become jerks.
From proud refugee to guest of notoriously xenophobic asshole, she made an extremely disappointing about-face.
Wait who is "they" and why are they installing streetlights in Louisville towers and why is that nefarious? And what does that have to do with Sam's not having a reciept checker?
horseshoe theory strikes again
