About 3 seconds of a Bollywood song (albeit the sample is repeated several times)?

I can't believe your dumb ass tried for all this time to shame MIA for "appropriating a culture" she belongs to when BOTCHdney did this exact thing only to "sound HIP." and it's like her biggest hit.

I never have to reply to you again

I also remember seeing a poster for "FROOT" with a huge, hairy dick graffiti'd onto her mouth

They would have done each one much better than Queen B. I'll admit they wouldn't be as iconic if they had been, though.

Yeah but they were stupid enough to reject it.

MIA ripped off an ENTIRE Bollywood song.

Toxic sampled 3 seconds of a Bollywood song.

Can't tell the difference? Get help.

MIA is not Middle Eastern (if this is referring to "Bad Girls")

Anyway let's not start with this appropriation bullcrap when it comes to music...art has no social responsibility

Problem?

No, it doesn't.

I like Kelli Minoag but Toxic suited ITZney much better. Kelli's annoying nasally voice would've ruined it.

Rip off =/= cultural homage. I'm sorry about your inherent racism

MIA is South Asian. Where is he trying to get at?

It really does

Carlos is faceless and annoying and "Break the Rules" is the worst piece of trash of all time

This song is great. Sleeper hit?

Ugh his flawless album deserves a smash hit

This should have been one as well

I never dragged MIA for appropriating any culture

I, much like NYT, have dragged her for pretending to care about the Sri Lankan Tamil cause only for personal gains. Or pretending to hate commercial success only to sing with Madonna and appear on the SB halftime stage. Hypocrite!

Yet she is a mega flop.

MIA has a Gold album in the States, unlike Mastodon and Carlos

Break The Rules was useful for one week and I had to pretend it's a Ratvil song to use it

None of this is true and MIA was never an artist built for the mainstream unlike your lobotomy'd cookie cutter fave. She's always had a message driven by innovation and the lack of WW attention on her home turf (this includes Jimmy, a song where she uses her heritage and brings it to a WW audience, unlike Toxic which appropriates it to sound "edgy" and envelope pushing). Please don't talk about what you don't know while relentlessly referencing a years-old obviously biased NYT article
