I don't get the love for M.I.A.
I always read praising for M.I.A. everywhere and from people having globally same musical tastes as mine, so it's been a few times I tried to listen to her music and... uh, I just don't get it. I mean, okay there's some good instrumentations, and her stuff is not awful, but well, I think it's just some not-so-bad hip hop... [I really like Galang though]. But I can't stop thinking I must be missing something good, as I see people putting Kala in their 2007 Top 10 and all...
I think I've already read people enjoying M.I.A. there, so tell me, what do you like about her music? |
I like her for some odd reason. But I have been into pop music for a while now, and she just did something different. I think she is not for everyone though.
|
I don't know who M.I.A. are/is.
if it's slo-jams, I don't wanna know. |
|
Thanks. when I see a name like M.I.A. I always think hardcore or punk like S.O.D., C.O.C., M.O.D., etc etc
|
eugh, i don't like her at all.
|
I can't get into it.
|
I don't share the enthusiasm for her music either.

this has to be the most polite "haterz" thread ever :D
|
Whatchu talkin' bout, cracka?
|
she sucks ass.
rather listen to the hardcore m.i.a. |
She's not even on an Indie Label. Why do people appreciate her so around here then?
|
i thought this thread was a complaint to those who don't give you love when you're M.I.A. from the board...

What is there to get, exactly? You don't like her, fair enough.

That's because it's not an haterz thread :p |
yeah her music to me is whatever meh stuf. i think shes for the kiddies into the mainstream stuff to feel wild and rebellious. i doubt people who already dig underground music, particularly the extreme stuff (noise, hardcore, grindcore, doom, avant garde, etc...) would find her too interesting. shes sexy to me though, if that is relevant in the slightest.
|
I'll never understand why being an avid listener of "extreme stuff" should prevent from having fun with/liking other less "extreme" stuff. Batreleaser, I can understand your point about mainstream kiddies and the related second part of the post, this is not a post "against you", rather a more generic rant.
Hell, I've got Zu and A Short Apnea cds next to "smash hits from the 60's" on my cd displayer (<---how do you call them?). Liking something does not necessary imply an "objective", "artistic" value in the thing liked, it's just a feeling, a sensation, a matter of taste or even plain fun, after all. Like watching a Bergman movie followed by Toxic Avenger. One can enjoy both, even if they are on totally "different levels" from an objective pov. nah? porky summed it up pretty well in his post: "What is there to get, exactly? You don't like her*, fair enough." * replace "her" with band/artist name of choice. sorry for the rant. have a nice day! |
I agree with you though nic fit. I've got friends who hate bands and singers because of who they are and not what they do. Or because they are popular.
I say bring on the Merzbow and JoJo split release. (Though to be honest I find Merzbow's solo work quite iritating.) |

o no i totally agree, i listen to the beatles, beach boys, ramones, stones, van morrison, and tons of hip hop just as much as wierder louder stuff, but something like mia which is being advertised as "radical" is much harder for me to buy into, therefore people who listen to more "out there" music allready id think would have a hard time buying into mia's stuff, if that clears it up a little bit |

I totally agree. I listen to Mouthus and Simian Mobile Disco, Double Leopards and Franz Ferdinand, Death Unit and Radio 4, sometimes in a row. |
I wasn't aware that anyone had said that M.I.A.'s music was radical. It's pop music - the first album is bloody good pop music, and, for pop music, is bloody radical. The second album is nowhere as good as the first, but if someone gave me a choice between listening to that or listening to Wolf Eyes, I'd take the M.I.A. any day.

I like her production and ecletic use of international sounds and beats. Even her little rebellious renegade persona fits it to and her non talented vocals not to mention she's not bad looking. But where as some LPs need several listens to get the full picture and grow into, hers quickly looses its luster and gets put aside. In fact it just gets annoying after too many listens. She's also a complete idiot after having read a few of her interviews or quite possibly mildly retarded. I don't really even know if she's sure of what she's trying to represent and she wines alot in almost complete gibberish. So to sum things up she has terrible fashion, talks too much, looks good, dances poorly, is pretty annoying with nice beats. The perfect recipe for a hate fuck.
|
it's not about her being pop, it's about her being crappy, untalented pop.
i much rather listen to paris hilton's album, sure it might not booster my indie cred but at least half the songs are good and the other are so embarransingly bad they are a riot of fun. |

This music is supremely annoying.
Fortunately, I have other choices. |
MIA sucks ass. all that R&Bullshit sucks ass.
"Your general subject, Love, is minimal. It's sex for profit." - chuck D Public Enemy fucking shit ass slow jams. hang with the squares, the straits, the deluded brainless sheep that just want a beat to go suck off some fuck at a bar to. |

all those chicks singing what they call "hip hop" (mary j blige, Mia, ashanti, wheoevr the fuck) are R&B ,
I FUCKING HATE that slow jam shit. HATE IT. I hate it so BAD> |

 M.I.A. has, like, a "slow" song per record. I'm not trying to "persuade" you to like her music or anything, I just want to make sure we're talking about the same person :D, becuz I'm totally with you on this R&Bullshit thing, but I don't think M.I.A. has anything to do with that kind of music (except maybe for a couple songs, but it's a quite stretched link imo). |
MIA aint slow jam shit in the least...
i just love her, i thought kala was the best thing i heard in '07 |
man I likes some legs. can;t think abuot music anymore
|
so this is M.I.A>? from Sri Lanka?
 |
her real name is
Maya Arulpragasam what a mouthful! I just heard 4 M.I.A. songs. it is most def not my thing. more power to her though. my opinion matters not. another person "rapping" and singing over dance beats. YAWN |
yeah, that mia rob, now we're talkin' bout the same thing, if anything :)
p.s. amyvega, I love her too, as I said somewhere else in other threads. |
