Yall, I remember when M.I.A. retired. We wondered what she was gonna do. Even though she married some Bro who is in the music industry, u always have to know that as a performer, there’s a chance of being replaced. When u become an ‘artist’/'entity’, it is only a matter of time b4 u r REPLACED.

Do yall think she is more marketable to mainstreamers than “Kala”? Or is M.I.A. an approachable alt who mainstreamers can identify with on a ‘mainstream hip hop’ level?
[via Mad Decent Blog]
Is this a biographical song written by M.I.A. but performed by LaFonda?
Should I post this vid every time I blog about “Paper Planes”?
**************
Don’t yall h8 it when people say that Jay-Z is an authentic rapper? Can n e 1 who does a ‘LIVE MASHUP’ album with Linkin Park be that authentic? I feel like he’s gotten less authentic every year he has been alive.

I must say that Reasonable Doubt was an amazing record. Skee is pretty much the most authentic hip hop beat maker ever.

@asdasd, If you’re a closeted gay with aspirations to be Jay-z’s groupie. How did it change your life? The better question is: how pitiful must your life had been in order for a crappy concert DVD to change it?

@FGGT,
This is the test video Marlee Matiln commissioned for the National Association of the Deaf’s ‘Paper Planes’ (Sign Language Remix)…l8tr rejected cuz she found out that AmyCore is actually a mute and Jizzicuh’s personal brand had ‘mystery’ stains all over it

i can’t believe i missed that pantomime youtube performance, carles. besides shooting myself in the head, i would definitely opt for early retirement too after seeing that farce…

LAFONDA = HOT TRANNY MESS.
PAPERPLANS ViD:
One on the left = MAiNSTREAMER, NO PERSONAL BRAND.
One on the right = alt ferser, love her. miss her.
jAYZ = not authentic. good rapper

i love yalll
SO MUCH.

is jay-z considered post rap because he has found a way to be successful without using lyrics that actually rhyme?

1. WHY IS HER NAME LAFONDA?????????????

3. THAT COMMENT (JZ = BEST RAPPER ALIVE) LISTED ABOVE, JUST KILLED HIP HOP (MAY BE U SHOULD REDEFINE YOUR GUIDELINES)

this is hilarious. while I am a HUGE hip hop fan Jay-z is no longer cool.
At one time during Blueprint era, where he singlehandedly introduced the world to Kanye West, he was the top rapper no matter who you asked but now he is soooo unathentic
