You seem to think that anyone who doesn't agree with your point is missing it.  Yo comprendo, you rogue and upstart!

Again you're missing the point. The point is that MIA is being a hypocrite.

I dunno, Alex, I just know Gaga used the exact chord progression from "All the Young Dudes" for one song, and one of her songs uses a sample from Abba's "Fernando". It really should be called "Rob Fusari's Experiment".   And I don't care about her stuff.  
MIA specifically referred to Lady Gaga sounding exactly like her on the beginning of Wale's "Chillin" single, without giving MIA any credit (thus her beef with Lady Gaga "sounding more like me than I do").  
 
Did MIA give credit to The Clash and Suicide?  Yes. 
Did MIA receive any monies from the hit "Chillin"?  No.  Wale also stated he wanted Lady Gaga to sound like MIA and gave her directives to vocalize in that fashion.

Well, if you really want to split hairs, I don't believe Lady Gaga DOES use any samples, but that's not really the point. The point is that M.I.A. - however great her tunes might be (I, for one, loved "Paper Planes") -- shouldn't be shooting her mouth off at someone else about originality when the basis of her own hits are culled from other people's records. And yes -- samples *can* indeed be inventively utilized, but in the cases of both "Born Free" and "Paper Planes," it really is just a fucking loop.

We ALL know that there are no samples in Laddy Gaga's music.  She is the sole force behind it as well.  WTF?

I'm familiar with it, thank, Leigh -- you cheeky monkey -- but this is coming off of recent comments wherein she tore the likes of Lady Gaga a new one for not being remotely original. Pardon me, but when you're sampling thirty-year old records, that hardly makes you a pioneer.

Yup, it's called sampling. Look into it. ;)
 
Great song, btw. The M.I.A. one. And the Suicide one. Both good.

Yep, basically a loop of the intro. Well done, but not exactly pushing any envelopes.

M.I.A. = the new millennial MC Hammer?
