M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.



Yes this video is killer! I'm a ginger this type of shit happens everyday for reals. Watch Romain Gavras' other videos they kick ass.

What the hell?

Only thing I got from that was that we ( I am a red headed person) will one day rise against the world and strike back at them for bulling and hazing us for being "gingers"?

Well in the video i think there was more little ginger kids getting shot in the head than "hazing".

ALOT of people fail to see the message in this video, and frankly, its a little hard to explain. M.I.A. is taking the lady gaga approach (producing strange/ very odd music videos that generally leave people a little shocked and turned off) and blowing in right out of the water, like fucking waaaay out of the water. i think she did it to show that artists dont need to try so hard to make american superstars seem interesting (the lady gaga philosophy).

M.I.A. has got all kinds of beef with gaga, heres a few links that may or may not help some people out that are interested in this:

http://vimeo.com/11219730 comments are really good

BUMP FOR ARTICLE ON HOW MIA IS A BALLER


Yesterday, The New York Times published an in-depth profile of M.I.A. written by Timesstaffer Lynn Hirschberg. The lengthy read followed M.I.A. through the making and promoting of her new album / \ / \ / \ Y / \. In examining many of the contradictions that make up M.I.A.'s persona, it wasn't totally complimentary, and contained un-flattering quotes from several people in M.I.A.'s camp (including Diplo and "Born Free" director Romain Gavras), not to mention M.I.A. herself.

Well, it seems that M.I.A. wasn't too happy with the piece. She just Tweeted "CALL ME IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME ABOUT THE N Y T TRUTH ISSUE, ill b taking calls all day bitches ;)", accompanied by a phone number. We just called the phone number... and it seems to be Lynn Hirschberg's phone number. And now her voicemail is full.

Ouch.
