m.i.a. vs lady sov!

[DaveCinzano]

m.i.a.

missing in acton, the tamil urban guerilla, blending baile funk, reggaeton and hiphop, superb 'arular' lp, top notch work with diplo, even her artwork tickles...

lady sovereign

the pint-sized mic wrecker, creating beauty out of grime, notable guest spots with the likes of the streets, titch-slapped jentina, even her mainstream crossover stuff sounds sharp...

 

[cyberfairy]

m.i.a m.ia!!!! the likes of lady sovereign intimidate me hanging outside greggs in a feral manner

 

[milesy]

haven't heard M.I.A so couldn't possibly comment fairly, but the "reggaeton" has put me off. what i've heard of reggaeton i don't like, but that's probably just the US cheesy shite.

ess-oh-vee, however, is the tee-oh-pee

 

[christonabike]

M.I.A.

All the fucking way

 

[killer b]

verrry difficult krs. probably go for the sov, but there ain't much in it.

i may end up putting people off her by mentioning r*g*a*t*n - especially if 'gasolina' is what they're going by anyway, maya's stuff is much more blended, influences from all over, and the 'r' thing is only one of many. check out 'arular', and the 'piracy funds terrorism' mixtape, and the boots on boom selection

you're not wrong! i don't think i can bring myself to vote. think it's going to be closer than the goldfrapp vs peaches title fight, and suspect opinion won't be so polarised either

 

[killer b]

check out the 'piracy funds terrorism' mixtape,

do so. it's ace.

 

[Isambard]

M.I.A. - Very popular with gentlemen of an artistic bent into that kind of music.

Mia - Evil scab band of very nasty politics cold shouldered by the above.

Need to not confuse the two, like I once did in a public chat room.

 

[art of fact]

love them both, but M.I.A for the production more than her as an MC, sov has better skills on the Mic but M.I.A has better tunes.

is there a way of downloading the piracy funds terrorism mixtape on the website? couldn't do it. title ironic as she's always banging on boutbombs and her tamil tiger dad....

 

[milesy]

check out 'arular'

just listening to clips of this now on www.juno.co.uk - will have to bag it when payday comes, cheers krs!!

it's out there somewhere - i d/l'ed my copy through limewire

 

[Belushi]

Its chav princess Lady Sov all the way for me

 

[Lisarocket]

Where's the 'all of the above' option? Sorry to keep asking
It's not an either/or thing. They are both great...
decisions, decisions, decisions...

 

[Wolfie]

I loath their music with a loathing so deep it has extra loathing ripple running through it and super loathing sprinkles on top.

unmittigated tripe - all of it

[milesy]

awww come on Wolfie, tell us how you really feel, don't sit on the fence

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

S.O.V all theway, come on people get random

 

[Pip]

What is this? Old people know about my favourite artists!

Lady Sov.

 

[exosculate]

Both look like chavs to me.

 

[milesy]

oi, less of the old!!

*gets home help to write a stern letter of complaint*

 

[Pip]

What are you going to do about it, grandad?

 

[milesy]

wet myself

 

[LJo]

I love M.I.A. Arular is fucking brilliant both musically and lyrically.

Dismissing both these artists as 'tripe' is a bit sad IMO. You might not like their music but they're both bloody talented and deserve more constructive criticism than just a lazy dismissal.

 

[killer b]

ah, ignore wolfie. he only listens to led zepplin, so his taste has to be pretty suspect.

shouting a load of playground "poetry" over the top of some derivative "beats" doesn't look like talent to me.

M.I.A's lyrics remind me of those people who write letters of complaint to local newspapers or Points of View in rhyming couplets.

'I come from New Delhi, I aint got no wrorries-if you fuck with me, I'll dash my curry..'-poetry, fucking poetry!
