Could this be a moral rights issue? Monty Python succeeded in having its skits edited without permission, could MIA succeed in the same manner. It’s sorta BS they’re messing with her song.

Good Song. Nice Sampling of The Clash’s “Go Straight to Hell”

the letterman performance got fucked with cuz of assholes at youtube and their “terms of use violation”. wasnt no fuckin violation, unless youtube is just as pissed as mia for the song bein edited. what, is gunshots on a song equal to actually shootin a real gun these days? its just sound effects people. like when u hear an explosion in a movie. if shit really blew up, the studio wouldve been destroyed.

This issue goes hand in hand with how, just because, of the gun shots her message can be mistaken as one of violence. The audience in this country is so lazy that we don’t even bother to look into what she’s really trying to say.

It’s a tough message to swallow. We prefer to listen to “Gimmie, gimmie MORE…gimmie more.”

do bands even make original shit anymore or do they just “sample” AKA steal.

mint song by m.i.a loving the gunshot sound affects
