            You’re right, she’s definitely a one-hit wonder, and that song’s only decent because of the Clash.

                🙄🙄🙄 If this could make my eye-rolls any bigger, they’d be eye-loaves. Sorry my opinion is different from yours, but it’s just mine and it’s just an opinion, no need to be sad. Especially over something so exceedingly subjective and unimportant.

                  it isnt an opinion at all, thats the issue. it is objective fact M.I.A. made at least 2 critcally acclaimed albums that critics, the public, and artists loved. no reason to start spreading false information just because M.I.A. is

                    I’m sorry I can’t prove to you that I don’t know any of that shit, but I simply don’t. I’ve heard one song and she didn’t even write the only part of that song that interests me. I actively listen to MIA the same amount I actively listen to Beyonce or Taylor Swift, which is to say not at all, but I can still list like a dozen tracks from each of them. If she was truly that objectively influential on all of society, why don’t I know more of her work? And more importantly, why is she opening for Kid Cudi?

                    Now if you’re Sri Lankan, I could see how that might affect your perceptions on this subject. I’m not and all I know is the one track that got really big where I’m from 🤷‍♂️. Again, sorry I guess.

                    Just saying, your view of reality is not the same as everyone else’s, and it’s never going to be.

      2 hit wonder makes it sound like this is the most pathetic attention grab available ala kid redneck dipshit. No one gives a shit about the terrible music so they go for that sad smaller crowd that will go to smaller, sad festivals that give sad acts like this an opportunity.

        Those two tracks are in frequent use in film and TV so she has far more money than sense and an outsized estimation of her genius.
