I was reading my twitter homepage the other day, and I couldn’t help but notice some ’scathing snark comments’ from the popular bloghouse-to-mainstream rapper M.I.A.
It seems like she is ‘talking mad shit’ about our President Barack Obama. Apparently he won 1st prize in the metaphorical ‘Best Human on the Planet’ awards [via Nobel Peace Prize]. It seems like something that we should celebrate whether or not he deserves it and whether or not the Award ‘means anything.’ It is an important step in rebranding our nation to the rest of the world. It seems like winning this award might ‘convince the rest of the world that the USA is a chill place, trying 2 make some positive changes.’ It seems like M.I.A. is ‘trying to take a shit’ on our nation/our leader/etc. Seems hard for me to identify with artists who don’t see America as being ‘fucking awesome’, even when we had a Repubby President. We must support our leaders. Sorta wish ppl were punished when they performed public acts of rebellion. Wish our government monitored twitter, kinda like Iran.
I am not sure if M.I.A. lives in the USA. It seems like these types of ’snark comments’ might make her some sort of person on a list of ‘bad people’ according to the US govt, since she has been linked 2 ‘terrorist groups’ or something.. It seems like making anti-Obama statements might diminish her appeal to liberal alts. Like there might be Protests outside of her shows in the United States by liberals and conservatives.
I am not sure if the Nobel Peace Prize is still a ‘prestigious’ award. It seems like it would be comparable to some sort of ‘Blog Awards’ that reward ‘The Best Blog on the Planet’ or something. Or possibly an ‘MTV Award’ in film/music/music videos. Seems like a nice process, but it ultimately helps the awards show when u can ‘brand the award’ with the most popular performers. Think I might start an ‘awards system’ for some sort of alternative genre, and maybe it will appear to be ‘more real’ over time.
But still, it’s ‘fucking awesome’ that Barry Obama was named the most Noble Human on the Planet. A Bro Who Branded himself as ‘Hope’ & ‘Change’ finally gets some sort of reward (besides the Presidency). Seems like a ‘huge victory’ for ‘us.’
We can never forget who we are as a nation, and our special mission as ‘the best nation in the World.’ We must stay unified in our beliefs and steadfast in the American way. Any1 who does not approve of our way of life is a terrorist since they don’t ‘get’ us and are ultimately trying 2 harm us. God has truly blessed our nation, and we must accept our responsibility to ‘bring good’ to the rest of the world. You are either a patriot or a terrorist–there is nothing in between.
Nvr Frgt.
Will u boycott M.I.A.?
R u proud of Barry Obammy?
Can the USA ‘rebrand’ itself 2 the world?
R u a patriot or a terrorist?

@eyyy,
M.I.A. is sooo stupid y’all. Lennon accepted the MBE in 65 – and even justified why he deserved it. 4 years l8r he was pissed w/ Britian’s 4 being all up in Nigeria and Vietnam’s face. So basically MIA is like, Barry should accept the Nobel and then 4 years l8r get all pissed and be like, JUST FOUND OUT y’all invented dynamite… think that might be used as a racial catchphrase so i’m out y’all !
NEwayz, MIA is stupid. I’d bother stealing her music if i thought it was good. H8 mainstream artists who position themselves as “alt”.

@cobones,
that would be really cool. His recent speech to the UN was so good. No irony here, seriously.
And all you haters, Iran does not have uranium enrichment facilities, and they abide by IAEA rules. Barrack Obama is a warmonger who does whatever he’s told to do. The US and Israel don’t abide by IAEA rules, but Iran does, but then Iran gets called out for not complying. Hmmmmm. And Netanyahu is always threatening to bomb Iran. And Iran just scared the US by ditching the dollar, just like Saddam Hussein was going to do. Blah blah blah Americans are dumb and don’t care about the truth. They care about the bottom line and keeping up appearances. Barrack Obama is a cosmetic change. The Anglo-American empire goes on, and the rest of the world is getting pissed off, so they’re starting to dump the dollar for gold and basket currencies. The US dollar is going to be significantly devalued in the next ten years. Bummer. Hopefully that will keep us from getting into a war with Iran.

Bonus comment from site:
Lol I find articles like this funny really. They rnt anything take seriously though that’s for damn sure. Some dip shit who isn’t to fond of icp decided to sit down and call mcr horrocore and call icp dopey idiots. I got 2 words for the asshole, fuck you! What music have u produced in ur lifetime? Oh none? Your just some dip shit who gets to write articles about his preferance and how other peoples suck or how genres r dead. In my opinion his little article isn’t anything but a closed minded biased opinion on icp. And like j says in fuck the world, fuck critics and fuck your review.

I would like to take this time to share a meaningful quote from Mathangi (M.I.A.) from some hippiefest/bourgeois merrymaking opportunity called the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival:
“The Third World deserves freedom of speech just like everyone else… that’s what ‘Paper Planes’ is about. It’s what people in the third world live through.”
Last time I listened to ‘Paper Planes’, I remember hearing about robbery and ’swagger’ and ‘weed and bongs.’ Didn’t realize that this is what the “third world live(s) through”…
Maybe I’ll spend more time in the third world if the song Paper Planes is a symbol of all third world culture.
So the ultimate message I’m getting here is “Down with Obama, up with Third World Culture”.
P.S. Does anyone have a meaningful explanation for why she only capitalized the word PRIZE?

M.I.A.’s insulting of Barry (via Barack being mnstrm) Obama, the altest president ever, immensely depreciates her alt status.
Is Carles making conservatism his personal brand (via pro American rhetoric and denying M.I.A.’s right to the First Amendment). Can conservatism ever be alt, or is it so mnstrm that the closest one can get is to be Liberitarian?

@Funky Rutabaga, i think it all depends on context & social location. bein alt is relative. if crls is in a ‘red state’ he is liberal. if crls is in a ‘blue state’ he is conservative.
since the dems have the swagger in congress & white house, i think its safe to say that aligning oneself with the liberal brand is uncool. its not hip to be a democrat if the democratic party isnt doing shit (via ‘death panels’)
