M.I.A. Assesses Lady Gaga

[marie addams]

i like m.i.a but it's clear gaga has her feelin some kinda way..

M.I.A. is always fucking mad at something. First she had a problem with Fergie ironically right after she was named the most successful artist of 2007, now it's Lady GaGa and Ke$ha when they're sitting on top of the game.

Lady GaGa's music and M.I.A.'s music sound nothing alike at all. LOL @ M.I.A. being innovative. M.I.A. is one of the most pretentious artists out there. GaGa is no genius, but M.I.A. typifies the superficial artist masquerading as someone substantive. SMH @ people still acting as if music is rocket science. GaGa never claimed to be making fine art or anything abstract...she always said it was JUST pop music.

And when is someone gonna ask M.I.A. why she sampled Nelly Furtado's style and swagger from the Get Ur Freak On Remix and tried to make a career out of it? She ain't got no right.

She’s got a point on that last one. Pitchfork’s Ryan Dombal noticed it on this Wale track featuring Lady Gaga and her best M.I.A. impression:

That's because M.I.A. was on the original version. She got switched out with Gaga for w/e reason, and she just re-sang the chorus the same way M.I.A. did.

I'm an M.I.A. fan but damn that's some hater ass shit.

 

[rip.dilla]

M. I. A is good but despite my distaste for anything GaGa...

GaGa >>> MIA

 

[j-slugga]

Sounds like she's trying to use GaGa to get some extra buzz for her upcoming album.

I guess I lost the Pepsi Challenge… I seriously thought that M.I.A. was featured on Chillin until just now. I will admit I was a little high when I was listening to Wale’s songs but WTF!?! He even makes a reference to M.I.A. in the song. I will infer that the hook was first offered to M.I.A. and she turned it down. So, after Santigold, Rhianna, and Susan Boyle also turned it down, Wale bit the bullet and went to Lady Gaga. Fail (mostly on my part)!!!

M.I.A. Lady Gaga and Wale are all Interscope Artist so hearing that Gaga Replaced MIA on CHillin doesnt suprise me it was obvious from the jump that Gaga sounded almost exactly like MIA on that HOOK.

MIA is right and they need more artists to speak out against the machine behind the industry

MIA is part of the machine though perhaps the biggest in the biz... maybe that why she speaking out cuz shes not as big as Gaga for example.
