to the people saying this could be mainstream this is pretty mainstream stuff right here, i just saw her on tv in a ringtone commercial and have heard tons of pretty mainstream seeming people listening to/singing this. A bunch of high school girls sang this for about an hour and a half on the train the other day.
Dude, her music may be adopted as mainstream, but her art style and music is definitely not designed to be mainstream. Highschoolers don't define what's mainstream.
By the way im pretty sure the amount of people listening to something i.e. the popularity is a pretty direct indicator of whether its "mainstream" or not. anyways still good music, don't throw a hissy fit if other people listen to it.
she did an interview with spike jonze for vice television, and she talked about how she wrote kala to try and push substance towards the mainstream audience by adapting her music.

50,000 dead don't matter I just wanna hear Maya's patter/Don't bother me wid da dead-I need her music in my head/I'm loving da music 2 much 2 care bout some horror here ordere/So what if Maya's dad is terror man I'll buy her music all I can/Don'tdisturb my listening fun-just to save some babies from the gun/Chopped off heads and babies dead-don't matter les it's MY head/I'm a Maya rapper fan-let her dad kill all he can/If a Maya fan was any more stupid-they'ld be dead too and body putrid
Its funny how a lot of people dont realise in the hook she says "all I wanna do is (Bang bang bang bang) MURDER (kaching) and take your money" but so many people say the lyric is "and a" which is wrong!!!!!!

kno1 - very interesting - you may be onto something seeing as her father's Tamil Tiger terror group is into wholesale slaughter of men women and children non-combatants.
dope! what does it matter if someone climbed before her, that was another place, another time, another world away. this was a moment...plus it looked like fun

If this video is done right, it could be even a mainstream hit. I love m.I.A. so much. I waited for an hour just so I could be in the front for this performance.
