The first 4 tracks slay the hell out of me, but I do agree the second half is stronger.
Omg, someone posted on reddit's music board hating on Bey today. He tried to say Blow was about cocaine and that Pretty Hurts was about the pains of being beautiful. He got upvoted a lot, but people dragged him to hell and back and he ended up deleting the thread and his account. I bet his inbox was a MESS
Pharrell, Gwen, Beyonce, and M.I.A. all have access to the fountain of youth. They've made a game out of keeping a certain few recording artists away from it.
Matangi, Only 1 U, and Warriors all get me so hype. M.I.A. does noise/punk-rap very well
If you like noise music, maybe you should dive into more noise artists and/or bands. You know Sleigh Bells? They're pretty similiar only more girly and more about being loud as possible with no depth to it.
