I swear, her first two albums have aged like GOLD.
They have very high replay value
I agree.. they still sound so fresh
Just banger after banger, and nothing has really sounded like it before or since.
@@ErikHinrichsenexactly!
The female Slick Rick definitely has classics under her belt 💯
Back in 2003 this was the definition of a "you gotta hear this shit" type track. Later, when Arular dropped, this was the album you HAD to play at partys to show people how eclectic your music taste was.
that's right budd
That is soo true Hahaha.. I was in Uni..telling everyone about my discovery lol. A time when u would still get free mp3 lol.
I first heard this on an Akira The Don mixtape back in the day. I miss him.
Word.
03?! I thought it was 04! Damn son, it was that early it was out?!
She always does her own thing, she's a rare diamond in music biz, very innovative and unique. Big love for MIA
0:07 she has the word “how” written in Tamil which is “eppadi” as a stencil background, I’m loving the representation she brought 💜
ikr :)
And a tiger ran past at one point.
I forgot how gorgeous she is in this music video!!
every video
Looking like a snack
WOAH HEY
We stan

I appreciate her for being daringly political in almost everything she does. It seems like most music artists pretend like nothing is going on in the world, but not her. Love it
well this comment aged like milk....
@@yourmomsbox7455 what happened?
@@limabeats2389 everyone and their mother is political now. Name one artist that you don't know the politics of
its in her blood look at who her father is
@@nonstickmeat not when she came out.
This is a weird thing to say, but I've always loved how she doesn't try to be sexy in her dancing. She just does her thing, and if you're not into it, that's your problem.
That is the definition of cool. Her cool is irresistible.
Agree and I hope she never does sexy either. Just be yourself and don't buy into what the producers and World wants you to flaunt just to make more money. She's a real class act.
I don't even want to like her....but again its irresistible.
Damn true..she doesn't care but be herself in her music and art.. a true performer if you ask me
It's really true. If she survived and makes more music like this everything would be different.
Im crying at how much I love her and her vision on music, strong political messages wrapped in the most catchy forward-thinking music.
Feeling THIS right now!
She literally has rebel in her DNA
lol
One man's rebel is another man's freedom fighter.
Whether you deem someone a terrorist simply depends on what side you're on & who has the most power at that moment.
Good for her, for speaking out against what was happening in Sri Lanka, when she did. There really was no international voice at that time, to speak on behalf of Tamil people.
that tiger behind her hahaha so few people will get the reference
Like his father.
@@goodfortune4317 ;-)
I love how she dances
Sorry for my ignorance, but her dance style is hop hop, right?
It's a jazzed up Bez dance! Awesome!
Thanks! :)
I love the fact that M.I.A. is actually a pretty bad to average dancer (compared to what you usually see in music videos) - which makes her kinda dorky dancing all the more authentic and *awesome* !
she looks like she just descended from the trees
She has been so influential to mainstream music. She's a legend.
Totally.
Her swagger has always been insane. I remember when I tried to mimic her fashion as a teen... looked like an absolute mess... over 10 years later and I still enjoy this song/video. And she looks really cool to me lol.
Totally.
same lol i didnt look a mess but people said i made their eyes hurt with all the colors. Discouraged me a bit, oh well, im gonna keep doing it tho lol
is now over 20 years. this song is from 2003
She is so hypnotic.
Seems like you are high 😂😂😂
420!!! 😃

She's so beautiful inside and out. And so intelligent, I was blessed to meet her at least once. 😊❤
jealous
She is a major cutie and so talented.
I'd feel blessed and fulfilled if I got to meet her. She's such an inspiraton, I'd love to thank her and just talk to her. How did you meet her? So jealous.
It was a couple years ago at a suprise show in Washington D.C..in a small club.😊
i talked to her on instagram!
she said that she likes my page and that i'm diamond! made my day❤️❤️
Saw her live in LA in this era when she was first blowing up on the radio. I've seen hundreds of live shows, including legends like Chuck Berry, Prince, James Brown. This one stands in my memory because I have never witnessed a more unpretentiously joyous LA music show crowd in my life--singing and dancing every word, smiling, and just riding this moment together. Everyone 1000% there for it. No shoegazers. No one on their phone. It was magic.
Same The most high energy show I’ve ever seen was M.I.A. in a Minneapolis club in 2004 Everyone was bouncing not just shoe-gazing I will never forget it
What is shoe gazing?
@@amusliminusabeing at a show, staring down at your feet/phone, physically there but not mentally
@mggentry Oh that's funny. I didn't know they had a name for it. It's become so common that it may lead to evolutionary change, ha ha!
This gives me reggae vibes! Even the word galang. We use that word in Jamaica. *galong* I'm here supporting her after her rant about Jay Z, her child's father/family, and others who did her wrong in the industry. Not being able to see her child! You guys go and take a look at her recent exposure on them all. Support this lady.🙏💚😇🕊
she looks mad cute in this video
i have no idea what mia is saying half the time but this song is addictive
Went from making low budget music videos to rapping with Jay Z at the Grammys to performing at the superbowl with Madonna the Queen of Pop music. M.I.A is getting bigger and bigger, year by year. And she totally deserves it!!
I'm here because of her recent rants about Jay Z, her son's father, and more. Go see!
She is so beautiful.
Dewdas
I remember seeing her in 2005 my first year of art school in san francisco and it wasn't even crowded and it was the best concert of my life and we danced at her feet ... she's the best
She did all the art work in the video...talent like this is rare
She's come such a long way. I've been listening to her since I was 15, now I'm 22! I actually remember when the song premiered for the first time in the US. It was on MTV2. It was like love at first sight/listen lol. I love M.I.A. :)!
Now you're 32🤯🥳

@@haseebhussain3327 lol I was just about to type this
@@GirlyEnglishGamer i was 13 when it was wrote😂not a worry in the world
Question is do they still love M.I.A.? 🤔
She rocks my life so hard I can't even describe it
I'm from Mexico and I remember when I watched this video for the first time in 2005. I IMMEDIATLY felt in love with the song. SOOOOO catchy. It was such a strong first impression... and MIA hasn't disappointed since then.
Yo recuerdo a ver la visto por primera vez en Telehit, nunca supe el nombre de la canción pero siempre se me quedo el ritmo, tengo desde el 2008 buscando esta canción ajjajajaja llegue a pensar que no existía y hoy la encontré por que me puse a escuchar la discografia de M.I.A. AJAJAJJAJAJA
I remember seeing this video for the first time on MTV and thinking WHO IS THIS GIRL?? I LOVE HER!
When MTV was still a Music Television channel
Kiana Divine right there!
She looks so beautiful. I can't believe she's near 40!
summer young Well, this video is 10 years old.
summer young Guess what, older women often look great too. Especially brown and black women like MIA, who don't suffer much from UV skin damage and retain smooth, silky skin and hair into their older years.
I Find women tend to look best at 35-40!
That's coz she's not fat and irrelevant like you
So I guess it makes you more relevant because you insulted some stranger you don't even know for no good reason at all. Okay then. But that's none of my buisness.
I want ALL her outfits from this video.
soakedbootcuts yeah,so cool.
From M.I.A: Für Elise, para Elisa pour Élise...
I was young when this song first dropped, but I remember it vividly, including the video. Now watching this video as a thirtysomething, she is LOUDLY saying a message with the background iconography. Ahead of her time.
THE CIVIL WAR REFERENCES!! YOU GO GIRL!! #TAMILPOWER
ஸ்டைலிஷ் தமிழச்சி 😀
What Tamil power when Sinhalese have driven you out of Sri Lanka. Don't do comedy.
@@MrHitchfan Tamil is one of the most ancient languages that still thrives. You think a pathetic government will end it just like that?
@@MrHitchfan you think Tamilians are limited to an island? Come on Raghu, my man. Don't be like that.
@@lordmorklen5166 I meant Sri Lankan Tamils. Also the SL Tamils in western countries no longer have Tamil roots. Once you leave TN, Lanka and Malaysia you have to loose your tamilness. Since the Sinhalese have driven a lot of SL Tamils , there is not much of Tamil power in SL. As you know Sri Lanka is only a democratic country on paper so Tamilians exerting power is not so easy.
It is a travesty that this only has 6 million views. This is one of the greatest songs and videos I have ever seen. She is owning that shit hardcore.
A travesty ? 😂😂
+Shake TonMilkshake lmao
yeah no this song is beautiful
This entire album coulda been released yesterday it holds up so well.
Well, yes, it would blow it away here in the USA because today's music is cookie-cutter pop garbage or grunt and mumble "we be "n-words" and our women be "bitches" sleazy crap rap!
I black American she was live back then
@@tompaulcampbell savage
Can’t wait to be living in the future this music comes from.
This is the video/song that first got me into her music back in 2005. I'm so happy to have her music in my life. These artists may never realize what their music do to some people's lives. Long life and prosperity to you my dearest m.i.a a real visionary and true to herself artist.
Great comment.
Geez, I remember when this vid premiered on MTV just about exactly 10 years ago this time during my Junior year. Although this song was in circulation in Europe, and other countries already prior spring 05', this was pretty much her introduction to the U.S. It premiered I remember on the MTV new artist showcase that they would do like once a week during that particular period. I just initially remember that her style was just so foreign, and different from anything I had seen. The one thing with MYA from the beginning because of her style there wasn't much middle ground in terms of criticism. You either loved her style or you just didn't understand it, and rejected it. I personally was intrigued cause her style was so foreign to me. Over the years since I have just became a bigger and bigger supporter of her work, and her whole style. The thing that use to bug me is that she doesn't get as much credit as she should for being a major trendsetter in the game. I mean from her artwork, style of music, and style of fashion. So many females in the music game has bit her style. I guess copying is the most sincerest form of flattery. This vid brought me back cause this was when I first was introduced to MYA. MYA is one of the few artist for me that influenced a change in thinking, and being open minded to a broader world. Just a longtime avid supporter.
yeah i hear her when i was maybe14 and i take so much to remember her name and when i discovered her again i was astonished by her talent, her lyrics are bright there are a lot of meaning in thèses videos. she is a real artist.
welcome to 2021.. the songs aged well
I agree
I remember on trl it premiered I was 12 and I never seen or heard anything like it. My eyes glued to the TV while I was doing my homework. She changed my taste in music
Great comment.
Looking 18 when 30, looking 25 when 41!
IKR
And now, she's 46 years old.
And she looks 25 now lol
How does this slapper not have a billion views?
I just love the way she dances in this song, so funky, best part is 2:30 I love that part, such a great ending to a fun song! :D
Yes! There are 13 MIAs in this scene lol
It's something strangely interesting bout her...can't stop listening to this music...
this was the first video clip I saw of M.I.A. on mtv Brazil, and since then I haven't left the station, M.I.A. is perfect
isn't a song I can just put on in the background. always have to watch it all through, a very audial and visual experience.
It's the dance XD
Discovered this song watching the BBC Sherlock, S3 E2, Stag night. So much fun, both the song and the show!
What a woman! The end always makes me emotional! M.I.A eu te amo!
This video is the definition of iconic
MIA political activist and most incredible artist ever love all her music love all her messages wish the youth of today would just wake up lol
I wish so tooo
Can't believe she's 87 years old in this video.
lol. But she was born in 1975 and this song/music video came out in 2005, so she was 30yrs old in this vid and 45yrs old now.
@@Trentsum Cunningham's Law, do you speak it?
Wow you have 87 likes
@@Trentsum It first came out in 2003, played by Gilles Peterson and the infamous Pete Tong --- then small releases in Australia in Oct 2004, MySpace, and another small release in the UK in Nov 2004, then played on MTV2 in Autumn 2005 which led to a general release in Oct 2005.
Crazy really, as most tracks that made it onto a Pete Tong playlist would have sold thousands within 6 months.
When I first heard this song in 2008, didn't know what the hell she was saying. 2020, still don't have a clue but still listening to it n still loving it
It's her accent
This song STILL sounds so fresh. She could release this today and it would be a hit.
WAY ahead of its time
I really have no clue what shes saying at all even though she's speaking english, but I still like the song. Even in her early days her music seemed very unique and eclectic.
I know right the tune is so catchy but i have absolute no idea what she's saying! Lol. Still love this song tho
Paola Basurto
London calling, speak the slang now! Boys say 'whagwarn' girls say 'what what'?
This song basically uses a load of local English slang that's popular in youth culture.
Yolis Bortin She's is referencing pot use and gang activity.
'pot' aint a very helpful word lulu, pot is an americanised slang, further confusing the situation! The people in this video are speaking 'slang' - a local language/dialect - from the urban areas of london.
Lulu was talking about cannabis if you didn't know what pot was.
CreativeUpload A simple google search can clear up the slang meaning. In the age of technology it still seems people refuse to look things up.
i love her music and i love her she speaks the truth
Agree. Dusted off the MIA collection today. Sounds better than ever
This track still sounds amazing.
OMG I can’t get enough of her! I hope she makes a comeback!
She did and it’s better than ever!
Free spirit, unapologetic, and raw🔥
It's the beat that does it for me
This was the first music video i saw M.I.A and i loved it 😂😂
The music fits her real good! So does the dancing.
From the times when I loved M.I.A.
Oh wait, I still love her.
Do you still 2020
Hi, you do in 2024?
This will forever be my Drunk Sherlock reminder.
what a beautiful woman
M.I.A. should've won all the Grammys and all the BRITS. Cool as fuck.
I love her too! Had been years since I've watched her videos. Refreshing to see someone that is not afraid to be who they are
LOVE HER
The only pop star who dances like a real human being, and not a corporate, manufactured dancer.
It also makes me wish I was in London right now. Miss that city so much. ❤️
Biggest crush on this woman even now in 2021. I will never forget hearing her on College radio 16 years ago. Completely blew my mind. 🙌
True
Same
I know some people wouldn't consider this real music but this is one of my all time favourite songs. I feel happy when I listen to it even though the song is about a struggle.
I remember being in middle school (13 to be exact) and watching this, so amazing by the art and fashion in this video. To this day, I’m 26 and I still remember the lyrics by heart. MIA’s songs age like fine wine!
I remember when this dropped OVER 20 YEARS AGO. What a banger.
She’s a BOSS!!! That time she did a concert and right after went into labor. Love M.I.A.!
I never expected to hear this song on an episode of Sherlock.
What episode?
@@iridageorgiadi2850 Season 3 episode 2
Wut? Crazy
I was looking for a Sherlock comment and I found it !
haha yes
she*s 30 in the video but looks like 17!
I would say at first she looks like 19
+Алик Габитов Holy shit I never knew she was so old. I always assumed she was in her early 20's when Paper Planes came out and that was much after this.
are u serious???? XD this song is from 2004-2005 and now (2016) she's 40 LOOOOOL
+rosa gervetti yes, she's 40 now
Thats so true
this track always makes me think i blew my sub LOL
There’s just no one like M.I.A… never will be ♥️🙌🏼
her dancing a 2 12 one of the most powerful moments in the history of the world. we will never be the same. simple proof that great thought provoking music can exist and be popular. Brilliant.
She's a great musician. She doesn't use political struggles as a gimmick. Her fashion style will never be outdated. This has NEVER been done before.
This was the most refreshing video I had scene at the time & the sing us just amazing!
I couldn't deal with the 100% bling age and was desperate for more meaning in music!
M.I.A. always divers, even when light hearted.
Hard to believe this song is almost 20 years old.
there was no need for this level of violence, that just made me feel so old
Thats my girl Mya..Missing.In.Action Action 🎧🇬🇭💫😍💝
MIA is so based!
Caught this one late night on MTV’s “Subterranean Playlist” & been a fan ever since 👏🏾🔥💘
her dancing is irresistible! it's the word freedom visualised trough chill though energetic bird-like moves
Best wardrobe I've ever seen 😝
She’s so incredibly beautiful
M.I.A forever my nr.1 fav.. she's the realest of them all.. never gonna stop playing her music.
i used to have the biggest crush on her 😍
My 4month old daughter loves this video... and im ok with that
2:30 always makes me wanna start dancing when the beat picks up again
Makes me go wild af.
Followed her since day 1. Her mug looks so familiar.. watchin these videos like watching footage of a sister growin up. Keep bangin.
The real creator of HYPERPOP
I was first obsessed with her art then her music and now with the way she sees the world . Love her so much
Everything about M.I.A. is so flawless, I wish I had a 1/4 of her talent.
This album came out at least five years ago- and look how current it still is. In fact, at the time, the fashion was unheard of. Now- its all over the streets and stores.
I love her weird ass songs
oooo yes

Here's Derry Legendary Dylanger's droppin Dope M.I.A covers done Derry delicious! Enjoy bitches!
Definitely my fave by her, but there is so many to choose from really.
I miss M.i.a wanna her new music you was literally one of my favorite artists growing up
she was ahead of her time
I have absolute respect for a rad person like this.
NONE of my people EVER liked this song!
I felt curious sometimes, cause of that.
But in 'my World' n my Opinion - this is still one of the greatest Tracks ever made!!!
I remember watching her videos on PBS and wondering who was this beautifully awkward teenager with hot beats. I loved it from the first time I heard it. Glad to see she has blown up and gotten famous. I love her album.
More than 15 years on, still my favorite artist. Still inspirational. Absolute legend.
I love the way she was. She was so genuin and never try to be someone else. I appreciated what she did. She already famous since long. Once upon a time, M.I.A and Nicki Minaj collaborated with Madonna. Well done M.I.A
Banger of a choon and I love her style 💚
