I found this video looking at MIA's channel favorites. She must not have a problem if she favorited it. Rihanna sounds good singing it. Her barbados accent goes well with the song.
i saw her do it here in ct so i think she must do it every show it was so hot when she did it thats why i wanted to see if people put it up on youtube
ok,now ur making me feel bad.. :( I was supposed to go to the concert just to see Rihanna, and I begged my dad for weeks, and when he caved in, the tickets were sold out...
its funny how she is singing a cover of a song that totally goes against everything her owns song and film clips represent. DICK.

Not like MIA stole from The Clash.
iggytretiak 3 years ago 2
she didn't "steal" from them, she sampled them.
I think that's the way music should be, artists should take what they need and build a new sound out of it.
She probably chose to sample Straight to Hell because the Clash's lyrics also call out social injustice.

I think they should make a remix with her singing on it. That would be dope. It's amazing how other artist listen to M.I.A.
