I don't really check for music videos that much anymore. But watching these two sick out so far. The 2nd one especially.

Not that big a fan of her music, but this M.I.A. video is kinda slick. But probably just cause I'm a fan of the dudes skating with the car shit HA.

    Yeah Chan! My homie directed that video, and I'm really glad to see him getting some well-earned props. He did this Curren$y one too last year that I really liked..

    So, let me disclaim this by saying I'm not really a fan of their music, but if we're talmbout videos, this Roger Ballen shit is crazy.

    She's just re-enacting scenes from youtube videos no? Or was it something to with the lyrics, cause I watched it with the sound off.

    Ha! Yeah - I saw this thread and immediately thought of this clip which I only discovered yesterday. Pretty fucking out there. I'm kinda into their stuff, but I don't really know why. It's just got somethign that compells me to listen to it.

    I find the article more offensive than the video.

    this.

    Nevermind the fact that MIA appropriated a homegrown Saudi phenomenon and the women driving issue is propelled by Saudi women themselves. Its all about how MIA is saving some savages and showing them what its all about!

    MIA as appropriator of third-world phenomena and values trailblazer is one of the most disingenuous things to ever happen in pop culture. didn't lynn hirschberg put this shit to bed 3 years ago?
