She doesn't act her age at all.
No wonder she gets along brilliantly with Christina

A middle finger is more New York than a corporate ambush. I bleed for my hometown, and I'd die for my fans.~Lady GaGa

Well M.I.A. at least stands up for what she believes in fiercly, which is refreshing in the rushing ******* of Gaga's everchanging image.
I don't understand why she keeps it up though, it just hurts her own image now :/

They're both on the same label. She's said in the past that she thinks the label devotes too much time and money to Gaga (citing the Grammy performance). The obsession/jealousy/anger must stem from that.

yeah some people get pretty riled, but I think both of them make outstanding music and it's a shame MIA keeps turning away potential new fans

This is why:
-She only collaborates with indie, underground artists like Jay-Z and Christina Aguilera.
-She is repped by the indie, underground label Interscope, not a huge money-grubbing label like Lady Gaga's label Interscope.
-She only allows her music to be used in tiny little indie flicks for fledgling movie distributors like Sony's "Pineapple Express" and Fox's "Slumdog Millionaire."
-She only allows her music to be used in commercials for obscure brands like Honda.

The great, unappreciated, musical genius and political guru of our generation. Her outspoken nature and questionable political stances were once intriguing enough for her to be labeled one of the great up-and-coming message artists*, but I can't help but feel like she threw any sort of credibility she had out the window the second she started making comments about artists like Gaga.
It'd suit her " I'm so politically rebellious and non-conventional. Want to hear some thought provoking lyrics set about infectious (but totally non-mainstream) electronic music?" shtick so much better if she could cast her obvious jealousy aside and keep her lips zipped about silly pop musicians, like Gaga. The second you go in on someone who is not only more popular than you, but also vastly more successful, you expose all your hidden insecurities and all of your pitiful desires to be widely accepted. M.I.A. has drawn herself right into the vapid world of pop music that she has so vehemently protested she is not a part of.
We honestly don't give a **** if Gaga's journey has been easy. Does she think we actually listened to Paper Planes because we gave two ***** about her journey, or wanted one of somewhat political messages set atop an infectious beat? We were only with M.I.A. for the hokey, but effective, gun shots and old-timey cash register sound, not because we had some sort of invested interest in her "different approach" to music and difficult climb to the top (or mid-tier fame, as it may be). Since M.I.A. is apparently all about the journey one takes in order to reach to success, she should be aware that Gaga's journey to the top is not only interesting, but also inspiring to millions of Americans because they can relate to her upbringing. But even for anyone who is not the product of a war-torn childhood (like M.I.A.), and even those who are a product of war-torn childhood or 3rd world poverty, but dream of a glamorous escape, Gaga's story is relevant and exciting. It's the American Dream, and I would hazard to guess, the dream of people across the globe. But, you know, maybe M.I.A's right. We shouldn't respect Gaga, and Oprah certainly shouldn't praise her, because that might give people the idea that it's okay for someone with a privileged background to be successful. And seeing as how that person came from a decent, middle upper-class, American life, they obviously would have had to put forth no effort to get ahead. Yeah, the only people that should be allowed to have successful music careers or receive praise should be folks that come pre-loaded with despise for the fortunate and all things mass-appeal. Every successful person should have encountered innumerable sufferings. They're the ones who are really deserving.

Whatever.
M.I.A is just pissed that Gaga gets all this attention, and she didnt have to do anything to get there.
M.I.A works her butt off to express and put out Independent and new types of sound and music, and people refuse to listen.

I love this.
It reminds me of her attack on Entertainment Weekly when they gave her album a bad review.

"Entertainment does not come weekly to the people of Sri Lanka. Reject capitalism of EW and buy my new album." - M.I.A

Reject capitalism but buy my album!
