Kala by M.I.A.

Sorry to be a bone kill, everybody, but I just listened to this album and I wanted to tell you all what's up. A few months ago I downloaded like five tracks from Loose by Nelly Furtado, and while I thought they were all very fun tracks, I still felt a little embarrassed to have bought them and liked them. Maybe it was the lyrics, or maybe it was because I only could find five tracks from the album that I liked, who knows. Anyway, a long time ago I heard this song that sampled my favorite Clash song, "Straight To Hell," in the preview for Pineapple Express and really liked it, but I forgot about it until just yesterday when I saw that movie, so I did some research and it turns out it was on this album Kala by British artist M.I.A. Well, it's great and also it deals a lot with social strife and freedom fighters and other deep sort of things, but additionally every song has an awesome beat unlike that Nelly Furtado album in which only five songs have awesome beats, so in conclusion I like this album and so should you.

RATING: 76%

Someone had to do it, but I'm glad it wasn't me.

PS - You must not be that embarrassed to admit you were listening to Nelly Furtado. Normally I'd say more power to you, but that shit is loose. In conclusion I find M.I.A. to be attractive, and oh yeah, her music is good too.

It is absolutely no epiphany that M.I.A. is the absolute shizzle. Her first album, Arular, is even better. If Diplo would just keep his nasty white hands off her post-imperial, Sri Lanka-cum-Britain shtick, she'd be unstoppable.
