Back in 2008, M.I.A released Paper Planes. A massive hit, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 -- giving the artist her first top ten single, a Grammy nomination and an Oscar nod. It went Platinum in Canada, the US and the UK and was featured in promoting films like Pineapple Express and Slumdog Millionaire.
But the track saw M.I.A. accused of glorifying violence, criminality and advocating terrorism. Because behind the downtempo beats, the breezy melody and sample-filled choruses lies some heavier history.
Let’s take a look at THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND PAPER PLANES.

I swear Paper Planes felt like the dopest song I had ever heard at that time.

Did MIA seriously get criticized for glorifying violence? On a hip hop record?

I swear, M.I.A looks different with every photo I see of her

Kanye samples her line “Swagga like us” from this song for Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, & T. I.

Diplo went CRAZY on the paper planes beat. Top tier

MIA is so dope. I firmly believe that if she’d broken out in 2020, her work would be better received by westerners. They weren’t ready for her greatness.

In conclusion M.i.a was woke before it was trendy

I remember when M.I.A flipped the bird during her super bowl performance.

Y’all remember when she was performing right before she was about to give birth in that polkadot outfit? THAT was badass.

One of the most beautiful things about MIA's album is that 'Kala' based on how you pronounce it can mean "art" or "black/brown"

as someone in an immigrant family who is still struggling to not get deported, this song holds a special place to my heart

We had MIA at our studio not too long back, she is an absolulte gem and a v nice person. I'm glad she's still getting the recognition she deserves.

MIA was definitely ahead of her time

"Its modern art, it can mean whatever you want it to mean, until... someone like Middle8 makes you think it means something else."

I can’t get over how good the animations in this are. Top notch.

Not to mention shes a college grad in Journalism from a British university, makes her own clothes, and created most of her own beats from her first album from a beat box she acquired. I saw her performing in Houston in the late 2000s, a great show. Rye Rye opened... another underrated female artist.
