M.I.A.'s new single & video "Born Free" (AKA Ginger Genocide): NSFW

I've been anxiously waiting for M.I.A's new album to come out in June, and yesterday I heard the first single, "Born Free."  I was definitely surprised by the song- it's more raw and more rock- makes sense that it's a rip from Suicide's "Ghost Rider."  I think this is a good move for her to move away from Lady Gaga  her copycats.

I like the song even more after watching the music video- apparently this ginger genocide epic is already banned on youtube.

erykah badu- umm hmm

finally getting around to listening to the entire new Erykah Badu Album: New Amerykah, Pt 2: Return of the Ankh.  I'll do a full review soon, but gotta talk about the track Umm Hmm real quick.  speaking so much truth right now:

Takes some time to let your

feelings show

You can’t hide You can’t hide

Skies the limit let me really know

You can’t hide You can’t hide

Umm hmm

I know I know you care for me

Umm hmm

Cause you can’t get away

Umm hmm

I’m trying to sympathize with you,

Pimpin Umm hmm

Don’t play with me play

do I look like a play thing

Umm hmm

Boy you know the drill

Umm hmm

Cause the feelings real

Umm hmm

Takes some time to let your feelings show

You can’t hide you can’t hide

Skies the limit let me really know

You can’t hide you can’t hide
