The video on your page Hizzle10 is by Buraka Som Sistema featuring M.I.A. not the other way around. (Just to let you know.) BSS are HOT on their own and M.I.A. was their guest.

[PerfectAngel316]

I agree 100%

[Bl3ssing]

YUH DONE KNOW!

[Dingalingring]

M.I.A. was born in the U.K. but her family moved to India when she was six years old. They later fled India when M.I.A. was about eleven due to her father's illicit militant activities and the family being under threat. M.I.A. and her family were housed as refugees on a South London council estate where she spent the remainder of her formative years.

[archimmes]

Who took down the actual video?

[superzenith]

This video is sick, she posted the full thing on her myspace page. If anyone can post it on youtube thatd be fucking great!

[JARN01D]

How sad... I live in Jamaica, but never knew about MIA or this video until I saw it last week on Trace, the French music channel. Love her beats and her Diplo remixes. :-)

[JoseMN]

I Love this song.

[fgdsagdasf]

She's insane to have that many dancers in one video. M.I.A. rocks, enough said.

[melgigglesz]

i ain't a boy, but i`d love to be in the video =]

[RiccardoPecora]

I love M.I.A. but Jamacia is a horribly repressive and politically fucked up place!

[JARN01D]

I won't deny there are problems here, but compared to other places like Haiti, it's still a bit of Paradise for a lot of Jamaicans living here and overseas.

[keronjm]

why you have to be so negative about jamaica. although it still politcally damaged, no one can take away its rich structure of heritage that no one in this world have offered. look we got reggae and all that but we still have alot to fix but why so negative when all this is just a MIA music video. though you should be talking about the video.

[RiccardoPecora]

I'm not being negative about Jamaica and I commend M.I.A. for bringing the video there and embracing the culture...I just think that north american kids have a skewed idea of what it is like in Jamaica....they think it's all free love, Bob Marley and lots of pot....

[dilly85]

Indeed they do...

[HearingTest]

it sounds like your being negative about Jamaica. lots of places are repressed and politically fucked up.

M.I.A. is just trying to respect the dancers there, to showcase some of the best parts of Jamaican culture and bring some love and recognition to the dancers. maybe it would be wrong if she portrayed it as being all love, Bob and pot, but none of those things (besides love) are featured in this video. the video is pure fun and hard work, so why ya gotta be hatin?

[MzUkkubit876]

dat is so true...i 8 wen d likkle fukers ask mi if i smoke weed! i always tell dem and dese wanna b jamaicans dat dere is much more to jamaica dan weed and dancing. Dancing is a big part,yes,but dere is much much more

[Youtub3username]

im from american and i dont think that so that makes your "thinking" wrong. thanks

[NeverEclipsed]

Big Ups to M.i.a. She always give nuff respect to Jamaica

[MontrealM]

Would have luv to be there in jamaica, madddd !

[JLickerish88]

bullet bullet!!!
