I’m utterly stumbled at how you can naively culturally appropriate an UK artist within the multi-cultural UK music scene of African, Southeast Asian, Caribbean and East European immigration over in London with some aging American corporate rappers.
At most the lyric line of “no one on the corners has swagger like us” was adopted and sampled from MIA, but that’s it. Everything else about MIA is UK-based and has their own story over in the London scene. MIA story has more to do with the first Muslim mayor of London than the first black President of America.
Don’t you think you are a little bit off here?
