M.I.A. - "Hit That"

I can't find the second album related thread, but this is pretty redonkulous. "Tap, tap that! Bed the wall" (Totally.) And that beat! And the off-the-wall "Rump Shaker" reference!

Let's try again.

Here

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 03:17 (eighteen years ago)

wow between this and 'bird flu' girl's starting to really get out there on the limb. i love it.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

i listened to this earlier and really didn't like it. it sounds more like fergie than it does mia. maybe i just need to listen some more.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:01 (eighteen years ago)

fergie? seriously? wow.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:03 (eighteen years ago)

If anything, Fergie's vocals on "London Bridge" sound like M.I.A.

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:10 (eighteen years ago)

i don't know. i was tired when i got home and listened to it. i spent the whole day, eating windmill hot dogs and hitting golf balls. i'll give it another spin, after this headache goes away.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:35 (eighteen years ago)

keep up the good work, gents - there's no stopping her this time with the buzz you're generating!

― gershy, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:37 (eighteen years ago)

Damn funny farm, that sounds like a better day than I had -- sent home from work sick for the first time ever -- or, I guess, than "Hit That" itself. Nicely played.

Gershy you are a pain in the ass.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:37 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, ILM. Where you can't simply like a song without being attacked by the Great White Snarks.

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:46 (eighteen years ago)

sure you can. you just have to pick a song that doesn't suck!

― lfam, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:50 (eighteen years ago)

Dude go start a thread called "I Am a Big Pain in the Ass" and then post to it over and over, get it out of your system.

This shit sucks, and in such a predictable way too.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 4 May 2007 06:49 (eighteen years ago)

dude u are the perpetually in a tizzy about something or other xp

love the song; i think MIA needs to work with lil mama asap. i didn't actually expect MIA to make a good second album but she is proving me wrong

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 06:51 (eighteen years ago)

i like all the other songs i've heard from the new album. i just think this one has a boring beat. it sounds like every other mainstream rap song.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 06:57 (eighteen years ago)

did diplo produce this?

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 06:57 (eighteen years ago)

No, Bangladesh.

Boring beat, boring hook. For someone with such thin lyrical skills she sure doesn't bother to come up with good hooks to make up for it.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:08 (eighteen years ago)

i don't know who bangladesh is.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:40 (eighteen years ago)

― Hurting 2, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:43 (eighteen years ago)

yeah. it still reminds me of something fergie or grew stefani would do. maybe it'll make more sense in the album.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 07:59 (eighteen years ago)

MIA's never been a million miles from fergie ferg or gwen though (apart from sales obv)

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 08:34 (eighteen years ago)

Have to say I'm not loving this yet. Quite enjoy the production, just like the Diplo stuff, but just can't take that voice. The lyrics aren't great either.

― the Dirt, Friday, 4 May 2007 09:14 (eighteen years ago)

RIP MIA. Heaven needed an Elastica album cover designer.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:01 (eighteen years ago)

yeah dom lol @ all musicians who used to have jobs

― ^@^, Friday, 4 May 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

I wish this was faster.

― HI DERE, Friday, 4 May 2007 12:20 (eighteen years ago)

This kind of sucks. When I heard she was working with Bangladesh I was really excited... :(

― The Brainwasher, Friday, 4 May 2007 12:35 (eighteen years ago)

I agree with HI DERE it's too slow.

I prefer "boyz" the other leaked song...

as much as i love shondrae i deeply look forward to never hearing this

― and what, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

tho my answer to the title qn is I WOULD

― and what, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

the beat isn't bad! i dunno quite when it happened but i would be happy to never hear m.i.a.'s voice ever again.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:22 (eighteen years ago)

not even the schtick. just the sound of it.

when it happened = from day one?

― fandango, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, boosting the BPM into the 120 - 130 range would make this KILLER. As it is, it's just... there. It sounds like she's trying to do her version of "Lip Gloss" and getting sonned.

― HI DERE, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

miaz nasty, she's not fronting @ all

― Chromski A.K. Gattlington, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:39 (eighteen years ago)

dan if it was faster she'd have to talk faster and she would sound like a chipmunk, not every tune has to be all whoop-de-doo, etc. i think this sounds like a missy elliott thing, i like it, plenty of songs from here with high bpm count

jesus why am i being all capn save-a-tamil-chick, i never even heard arular

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

The Reverend, taking another brave stand

― deej, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

What's that supposed to mean?

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:52 (eighteen years ago)

forget it, rev...it's colombo-town

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:54 (eighteen years ago)

I totally did not realize you were Haikunym til now.

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

hahaha now you can be like 'oh shits i'm not agreeing with that mofo'

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

you can 'simply like' any song you want. its just a little played to act like defending MIA on popist terms is some sort of heroic stance on ilx or something

― deej, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'd seen you around a whole bunch doing your haiku thug thizzle, but I was like "who's this mf jackin' Haikunym's style?"

xp: I could give a fuck about "popist terms" or "heroic stances", I just thought Gershy was being rather bullshit, as are you.

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)

oh i wasnt defending gershy either. i dont really even know why i'm posting in this thread.

― deej, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

stop self-epitaphing yrself there.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:06 (eighteen years ago)

the other mia just released an awesome album

why isnt THAT mia putting in work w/ shondrae

― and what, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

It won't be long before it's heroic to defend MIA on *any* terms - the tides are definitely turning against her.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

someone once told me they liked mia because she was "colorful and not boring like other rap".

― félix pié, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

well she is colored

― and what, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

one thing i will give her is that she handily predicted almost all of the fashion disasters i see when i go out these days

― strongohulkington, Friday, 4 May 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

like some kind of flosstradamus

yes, there will be no more posts to the thread

― and what, Friday, 4 May 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

Secret hidden track.

― M.V., Friday, 4 May 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

This song is fantastic!

― mcddcm, Friday, 4 May 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

dan if it was faster she'd have to talk faster and she would sound like a chipmunk

She ALREADY sounds like a chipmunk!

Despite the squeakiness of her voice, most of the time her delivery is laconic; she needs an active beat to offset that (that contrast is the real reason why Arular works so well and why things like her guest spot on "Bad Man" fall flat). This beat is great but it is not what I would call "active" and the inherent indolence in both feed off of each other and bog each other down.

― HI DERE, Friday, 4 May 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)

more joeks

Chipmunk Skit (feat. Alvin)

― M.V., Friday, 4 May 2007 22:19 (eighteen years ago)

booooring... where are the hooks on these new MIA tracks?

― easychord, Friday, 4 May 2007 22:34 (eighteen years ago)

"boyz" is pretty good.
is she just really horny or something?. all these songs seem to be about dudes.

― funny farm, Friday, 4 May 2007 23:37 (eighteen years ago)

dudes are hottt though

OTM OTM OTM OTM OTM OTM OTM.

This record is really fucking boring. My expectations of the new album are falling with every new track I hear.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:07 (eighteen years ago)

Should have been an Offspring cover.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:27 (eighteen years ago)

She should do "All I Want" or "Original Prankster" next.

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)

Hang on, Boyz is storming! Expectations up again.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 6 May 2007 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

this song has really grown on me.

― funny farm, Saturday, 19 May 2007 02:53 (eighteen years ago)

this thread confirms my suspicion that M.I.A. was was dud long before she was even born.
