  • /watch?v=aMp1KFRkDmI

  • M.I.A has sooooooooooo many real, social messages hidden in her music, she just makes it in sing-a-long pop style so that it gets major airplay. Must admit that's pretty smart.

  • BONICEEEEEEEEEE HAHA

  • That's funny...it's hussel and my friend insists it's hustle...:/

  • U kno, i thought M.I.A. sucked...but that was when i was a hater, i don't know how, but her music is just....unexplainable. Every song has a very important message and the beats are good.

  • This song is amazing for ringtone on my phone!!

  • 11:11

  • Hussel Hussel hussel!!! <3333

  • yes, it's good song!!

  • It's great summer dance music, and what makes it better is when you listen to the lyrics and realize what it all means...

    you can dance, listen intently, or both...

  • the original and much better lady gaga

  • MIA is Third-World chic...luv her!!!

  • So everyone's saying Vampire Weekend sampled this song, but the part they sampled is also in a song by Bonde Do Role called "Marina Gasolina. So I have a question: Which song came first, M.I.A's or Bonde Do Role's? Who sampled who's song first?

  • thumbs up if VW sampling 2:54 - 2:58 in "Diplomat's Son" brought you here

  • @johnpanos1007 yea in diplomats son its right at the beginning before he sings-check it out :)

  • any vampire weekend lovers here? they sampled abit of this in their song 'Diplomats Son' its goooooooood!

  • @smileygeek18 love the song but did you find the part? :)

  • yes m.i.a rated u since day ! 

  • She can Hussel me till the UN TAKES ME

  • As someone who knew about Lady Gaga from 2007, I know not to make the mistake of thinking she is original. People assume that because she is signed to a major label she is a mainstream artist, she is not. She's an underground artist with a mainstream artists finances, which gives her an advantage over her REAL contemporaries-MIA, Santigold,Robyn etc.

    MIA fans shouldn't strive for her to be respected by the mainstream but just hope her beautiful music gives life to all who need it.

  • miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA!

Lady Gaga fans need 2 stay away from other musicians musics becuz they comment on every fucking thing! relax we get it she's great alright so shut up!!!!!! M.I.A.'s awesome 2 plz stop the fucking arguing!!!!

  • sorry , i had the feeling you were talking shit about M.I.A

  • @GunsOnRoof i`m a girl and i feel the same lol

  • this is a shit lol pls stop sing

  • @Marcinbestia

    the only shitty thing here is your grammar, baby.

  • u think it's tough now, come to Belize!

  • has any1 noticed there isnt a single swear word in this song yet its fkin amazing. MIA is got to be the best in her department which is a mix of contemporary, world, alternative hip hop..shes basically created her own genre of music. its called not following the crowd and aving ur own style. and FYI she beats lady gaga any day on quality of lyrics and shes not fake either. lady gaga is!

  • @sweetappletits i wanted to use a song of hers for an 8th grade proj, and this was great cause it was school appropriate. haha

  • @laloali2 nah swagger like us wud of been better!!! so who rapped african boy's bit then??

  • @sweetappletits i didnt have to sing it. it was a social studies proj about choosing songs that were political. paper planes was already too famous so i wanted to teach the kids in my class more about mia's music because all they knew was paper planes.

  • @laloali2 das rad ;-)

  • @sweetappletits why is everyone dissing gaga?

  • @antigua26 becos her music is always about sex. sure its great to dance to but do u ever feel anything when you listen to them?? compare her songs to when she was stefani germanotta. lady gaga's music is soulless music, and 2 albums have the name "FAME" in them. she just wants a name for herself.

  • @antigua26 theres always symbolism as well and bizarre imagery which has been intrepreted as illuminati bt it's not surprising..she never talks about her struggles or becoming famous cos it was in such a short time!

  • @sweetappletits i totally agree... :))) M.I.A. is 100000000 times better then GaGa :))

  • @SuperHrco lady gaga is smart but she just wants fame. thats it. have u heard one of her interviews/?? the woman is a genius, u can tell by the horde of brainwashed fans who worship at her feet.

  • @sweetappletits I know. Years from now, intellectuals will be pondering such deep, thought-provoking lyricism like "I fly like paper/get high like planes"

    Tell me...Does MIA get dozens of books, poems and artwork sent to her by fans? Has she advocated for AIDS research, LGBT, and anti-bullying efforts? Did she write a song pleading for her dad to get a lifesaving heart surgery? Did she invite a younger fan to perform with her onstage?

  • @EaterOfCakes Actually, I saw M.I.A live not long ago (best show I ever seen) and for her song Boyz, she invited all the boys on stage (i went) sickest night of my life... And she does talk about real stuff when it comes to the war happening in Sri Lanka and the corruption of the government.. different artists ,, they shouldn't be compared! Songs like 10 dollar, $20, Pull up the people, born free, xxxo, story to be told etc. all have a brilliant message behind them ..

  • @EaterOfCakes And BTW, in years from now, intellectuals won't be pondering such deep thought-provoking lyricism like " I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" or " And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun" or " I want your psycho, your vertical stick, want you in my rear window, 'cause baby you're sick" .....

  • @MrJordan2513 Actually, genius, she wrote those last lines in reference to 3 Alfred Hitchcock films. (Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window) She just put them in a suggestive context.

  • @MrJordan2513 I love how you avoided the entirety of my comment just to reply to that one snarky sentence.

  • @sweetappletits Her music is also very rich in Sri Lankan culture, it is good to see she is still passionate about her roots (in a positive and artistic way).

  • @sweetappletits Don't forget that MIA beats Nicki Manaj too, any day of the week.

  • what the hell am i reading? "get rid of afrikan boy?" why? do you NOT know what this song about. it only makes sense that he's in the song and his part adds extra depth. i'm soz but i love this song and i can't stand when people act like they adore someone's music but then critique it. counter-productive, nimrods.

  • @imperialsteroid And who else with a voice like that spits so good?

  • This song sounds like something off of Street Fighter Alpha 3, if anyone knows what that is lol

  • would be much better w/o african boy (the rapper)

  • @wwleaf You are so wrong,...listen to the music. there is a reason for him,...I love him!!

  • @wwleaf YOU THINK ITS TOUGH NOW... COME TO AFRIKAAA

  • i think she did i good job just remove the african guy and the rapping part she did not the one were she was saying hussle hussle hussle that one i found nice but the one in the beggining was wierd i like the drums and the back ground...mia is a wierd girl and strangely unique

  • Vampire Weekend is a very respectable group of musicians

  • Rock to the Rhythm of the FUNKY DRUM

  • Comment removed

  • he says "I'm illegal I don't pay tax tax,

    EMA yes I'm claiming that that"

  • EMA is financial help that students can claim in the UK, if their parents don't earn a lot of money. 30 pounds a week.

  • @RhhFan hahaha YEAH hahahahahahah THE lyrics are kinda funny the one about selling water and pepper and sugar in the motorway and he dnt pay tax and claims EMA for free lol.

  • Sri Lanka and Nigeria make an amazing song.

  • ahh no puede ser tiene fotos en mi pais MEXICO o por dios y yo no la vi a morire no puede ser

  • she need an official video for this shit.

  • african boy is shiiit!!!

  • she was born in London but he moved to sri lanka after 6 months (her parents are from sri lanka) stupido

  • she was actually born in Sri Lanka and left there because of civil conflict and then moved to London (at either 6months or 6 yrs old). hence the fact that she grew up with the accent as well.
