This is a truly epic vid. As a woman, it really fires me up when I listen to it and watch the visuals. I wonder about the people in it, and who they are and how they learned to drive like that. And M.I.A. at the center of it, so confident and beautiful. I really can't wait to show my daughter this vid when she grows up.
Who exactly hates her songs? She received lots of critics since she turned cristian-conspirancy-I'll-fight-the-evil, but nobody hates her songs, especially till this album
Lol made a comment about this on franchise and people are saying cause most of her videos have less than 4 million views she had no effect on the industry
There are countries won't even let her enter because of her music and Father's past alleged terrorist actions. She travels world learning there music sounds does songs and off to next country. Took over 4 years to enter USA. Mad respect to M. I. A.

I see no one is talking about it, but as a former equestrian, that horse is STUNNING. Arabian horses were one of my favorite breeds (Akhal-Tekes is my favorite, a literally shiny, gold breed from Turkey, google them, they're gorgeous). Watching an experienced rider on such a beauty makes me tear up still to this day.
YES!!! The Ahal teke!!!! I'm one, as well (I'm assuming you're English seat, too?) and those are just... Siiigh. If I EVERRRR had a chance to ride one, holy shit. So many gorgeous breeds out there, but since I'm dutch/Frisian, I'm obviously biased to a certain one!!! 😂
bye girl My point is completely valid... The only reason a woman wouldn't succeed in the music industry because of skin color is if people didn't view her as beautiful. The fact that a dark skinned indian woman was elected Miss America complete negates your divisive racial sentiment.
bye girl You forget that her song Paper Planes was incredibly successful back in 2009... If you seriously think people were more accepting of dark skinned women 10 years ago than I don't know what to tell you.
Genuine question how old are you? Just wondering as this was huge when it came out, no one slept on it, we were all very aware is was iconic and cool af and it got played constantly. Wondering if maybe because of age it wasn’t in your orbit?

None of these women are middle eastern or even close to the middle east. This is North West Africa and the women are Maghrebi, which of course they can fucking drive. Also Saudi Arabia is the only place in the middle east where women can't really drive, even though this isn't even the middle east in the first place.
This song was originally made for Muslim women in Middle East apparently “Muslim woman in Middle East aren’t allowed to drive” it was a basically a rule and when she says “Suki suki” it means drive in Arabic
I am not a hater. A stuntmen and stundwomen are indeed driving on two wheels in some shots. But there is a safety device on the side of the car when Mia sits on top of it. There is a making off video on RUclips where you can see it clearly. She is awesome, strong and confident. But definitely not dumb
MIA has always been real...everyone copied her...she was just from everywhere...no one believed she was real, she always was. See first album, sunshowers. Like 2007, so unlike anything, and all the GStars male and female copied her without giving credit...this is the world condition...every song...
The song was at least 10 years ahead of its time. The video clip is breath taking with enchanting Arabic culture mystery, women empowerment, timeless BMWs design. True masterpiece

BCPR lmao no
More so now that ever
the way people still watch this after 12 years just proves the point that this was a peice of memory we all needed.
Exactly❤
Still bangin in 2019!
VMonee81 in 2019 i listen this music first time in my life. Very nice. So she did this song earlier than she made Chandelier?
2229 too lol
2019 from south of Brazil
VMonee81 PERIOD
@@ahz3267 Not sure if joking or being serious
simply the BADDEST in the game.
Agreed.
Definitely

Cece Ruben and still iconic.
CL and MIA are the baddest
Nothing any man has ever done, or will ever do, will be as legendary as *THIS*
Not even the moon landing?
@@captainjacksparrow9229 not even the moon landing
this is not legendary, this is doodoo
@@jaschaswelt2587 yes, all these scientific achievements that are the reason we can watch this video are nothing but worthless
@@sayeedalsifat1308 it was a joke guys
Best music video of all times. Inn my opinion.
Not just yours. Mine too. Song and video are both incredible
M.I.A. is so iconic. It's annoying that so few successful people publicly acknowledge this Queen's influence on their fashion and music.
To this day, this is one of the most powerful and best music videos ever created
She's brilliant. Just brilliant. One of the best videos ever made to this day. Coolest shit I ever seen, her parents must be so proud. I Get the chills every time
Boarders is also on fire true helpful informative and crazy cool
Bring Swagger Like Us back in 2023.
I want T.I. Jay Z Lil Wayne and Kanye West Back to the Swagger
Oh m.i.a, the woman you were and the woman you sadly became to be 😔.
Can we talk about how she purposely made a mv about middle eastern women driving in a place where that was illegal
Video was made in Morocco, where it’s not illegal for women to drive. However it was made to look like Saudi, but women can drive there now
@@Nairah912 that’s cool
None of these women are middle eastern or even close to the middle east. This is North West Africa and the women are Maghrebi, which of course they can fucking drive.
Also Saudi Arabia is the only place in the middle east where women can't really drive, even though this isn't even the middle east in the first place.
*Women drive in Middle East. You're talking of Saudi Arabia.*
@@theotherside931 it's like commenting on a Japanese pop video about how brave it is to defy Kim Jong Un "in a place where that's illegal" lol.
She’s so underrated it pisses me off
I’m telling ya...
45 million views is underrated?
She got blacklisted from the American industry cause they saw her music as a “threat”
Nothing makes me more angry than an underrated artist.
underrated?
She is the Queen of Visuals all her music videos are stellar
This song was originally made for Muslim women in Middle East apparently “Muslim woman in Middle East aren’t allowed to drive” it was a basically a rule and when she says “Suki suki” it means drive in Arabic
Bad girls club anthem.
Bgc9 anthem
✌💞🌿👑💯
いきすちそ yessssss
*music cuts off* Christina: YOU AINT GOD YOU AINT THE PEACEMAKA’. IF I GOT A PROBLEM WITH HA, I’LL SOLVE THE SH**
Yooo 666 is heereee
hands down one of the best fukn video of this century. like come on. MIA is a bad ass
Yes
AGREE
true
Straight up one of the best songs I've ever heard. 12 years later it still bangs my chest. Proper proper artistry👌🏾
All the haters.... She's literally sitting on a car while they're on two wheels... That isn't CGI...
ruclips.net/video/3TiYC17aBsI/видео.html
I am not a hater. A stuntmen and stundwomen are indeed driving on two wheels in some shots. But there is a safety device on the side of the car when Mia sits on top of it. There is a making off video on RUclips where you can see it clearly.
She is awesome, strong and confident. But definitely not dumb
maybe, but just maybe, yolandi can do this, but i can't image dua pipa or selena gomes doing this hahah, and i dont care how they do the video xD
MIA has always been real...everyone copied her...she was just from everywhere...no one believed she was real, she always was. See first album, sunshowers. Like 2007, so unlike anything, and all the GStars male and female copied her without giving credit...this is the world condition...every song...
WELCOME TO MOROCCO
After 12 year this is the coolest music i've seen 😩
The song was at least 10 years ahead of its time. The video clip is breath taking with enchanting Arabic culture mystery, women empowerment, timeless BMWs design. True masterpiece
Arabic culture and women empowerment dont go hand in hand. Watching this almost shocks me 😂
Allahuakbar
@@Me_di😐
women don't have to be naked in order to be empowered @@Me_di
@@jaeminok8544containing women in cloaks is not empowerment. Just because your book told you to lie to infidels doesnt mean you cna convince me of your patriarchy prehistoric 6 century copied sh.
Shout out to all the Saudi women who can drive now!!! 🚗
this was filmed in morocco lol
@@rysatothemoon lol thanks 😂
Thanksssss for the love
They still need permission unfortunately 😕
@@dom404gamer8 well, as you see no one can change on all of a sudden give them time and see.
She has more swag than rappers combined.
*xStrikerVisionx* Seu cu
xStrikerVisionx good point, well i mean ur not wrong😩😂
Tato Suarez 😂😂
The best .respect to her
Can you do better??
Still one of the best music videos of all time.
My daughters grew up jamming out to your music and I see that my daughter got some of her moves and flaver/swagger from you and I love it. Keep up your good singles.
I miss 2012.. Those good songs damn. Time flies away.
i agree :(
+Greenwoods19 well as long as these songs sound good I dont see a problem
2012 good ol' times lol
True :'( 2012 was fun.
I was 85 when this Music video was out.. and now I am DEAD.... Time flyz....
who's here in 2020? this woman was ahead of her time.
2021!
My fav MIA vid, They tried to blacklist her fr, but we still here supporting her and the movement 😎
Love how she’s filing her nails to the beat at 2:05. Didn’t notice that at first
It's been 6 years today and I love the song and the music video the same way I did in 2012. It's a masterpiece!
Same saw it the day it came out. It's a classic and iconic
Yes
This song reminds me of my cousin she died at 33 was crazy af this song should been a tribute
I love how her british accent is so subtle in her songs, you can barely even tell
I was first introduced to M.I.A's music back in December 2005. I have so many wonderful memories of blasting the songs from the Arular album in the car, at school events, and in programs I was involved in. I always aimed to share her music in any way I could because it made me feel incredible and inspired me. She was truly ahead of her time! Thank you, M.I.A, for the music, inspiration, and the beautiful memories ❤❤❤🙌👏👏👏
I was first introduced to M.I.A's songs when watching a short of someone beat mm2 teamers :D
@@CourtPlaysRoblox and you liked it! 👌
This song is timeless...
Never lose the value.
how can she say "swag" at age 37 and still be cool
She coined that phrase ....
Bc age isnt what makes you uncool-its the choices most people make when they age-to stop taking chances, having fun, trying new things ect. The number is inevitable-how you represent it is up to you.
@@merkitten953 realest shi I"ve read today
she’s almost 45 not 37
@@samiakarar this video was made 8 years ago, so she was probably 37 in this
she is a legend
I cant explain the feelings i felt watching this masterpiece
ive said i once and imma say it again. M.I.A IS SO UNDERRATED. LITERAL QUEEN.
47 m views isn’t underrated
@@crazypanda6 it is
@@crazypanda6 for 10 years it kinda is.
