Will M.I.A. ever write another 'Paper Planes'?
No, she is effed. Her last album tanked, and she is going to 'famewhore' her way into the spotlight/blogheadlines in her upcoming album cycle.

Is The M.I.A. generic post-Middle East aesthetic 'hella tired'?
It seems like her ethnic gimmickry will not get her much farther.

Does any1 even like MIA, or are they just nostalgic for her early days?
Maya Arulpragasam used to be a blogosphere sweet heart, but after last year's ginger genocide video AND online tantrum over a bad New York Times profile, it is clear that M.I.A. has lost all her charm now that she is married to a billionaire heir although she still identifies herself as a terrorist/political activist.
