So M.I.A, British musician, producer and activist, known for her brazen attitude and outspoken political opinions recently released her debut album /\/\ /\ Y /\ in June 2010 starring guest vocals on the track 'Teqkilla' from the one and only Miss Minaj AKA Black Barbie..
What does M.I.A's music notoriously stand for? Supporting independence movements, revolution versus war, speaking out for those oppressed in third-world countries, the inequality hushed up in democratic governments, fighting for change and support for those who are unable to do so. Her music has engaged millions, and continues to do so as it provokingly addresses some of the ultimately pressing issues in our society today.
Nicki Minaj. AKA Nicki Lewinsky, AKA Roman Zolanski, AKA Harajuku Barbie... Gotta love her. I will not have one bad word said against this bitch, but she pretty much represents the direct opposite of everything M.I.A. stands for. Indulging in needlessly excessive wealth, fame, drug taking, sex...fuckette, why not?
Although I guess you could say they're both..err. fighters, fighting for entirely opposite things but still... fighters.. hmm..
When 'Teqkilla' came out the shock was so severe I nearly chomped through my tongue. But seriously people, Does nobody see the blatant irony in this?
Its an ace promotional track though, awesome bass + beat.
Best line- 'That’s why I never ever take them to my mattress/
I tell them meet me in the sky and that’s my address'
