M.I.A. (of Paper Planes fame) claims that RocNation and the US Gov are keeping her from her child UPDATE: Lorde's Royals and Paper Planes anti-Black?

[Apprentice]

This song and that royals song from new zealand both were subs to the Black race. Once it was identified that the song was a mockery and after some of the comments she made on race I was amazed people still fukked with her.

What was Royals about?

 

[ajnapoleon]

In black rob's defense, he really was sposed to be poppin.

He said that was his fault it was not diddys fault he was getting all those woman pregnant 🫃

And he said he never took his meds


And diddy didn’t owe him nothing but diddy still got blamed

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Don't ever compare BW to this racist ass hoe. You want to go up for this bytch take it to the Asian subreddit

Receipts of her racism?

 

[Dr. Acula]

They saw the power she was gaining and hooked her up with a Zionist family and Jay-Z

The same way they did Jay Electronica

As we all know M.I.A was about to buy BET and about to become bigger than MJ. This is why they are trying to take down this modern icon. Damn shame.

What was Royals about?

"Royals" arguably critiques popular music across genres. But its mockery of hip-hop may stand out in part because that mockery places it squarely in the middle of American pop music right now. As rock critic Chris Weingarten pointed out on Twitter, two of this year's other long-running No. 1 hits are racially problematic in the extreme.

this was their take

From "Royals" to "Thrift Shop," many of the year's pop hits have been built on tone-deaf critiques of rap

Lorde's song Royals deserves nuanced critique | Duncan Grieve

Duncan Grieves: The New Zealander's song is a direct response to the sensation of being overwhelmed by overseas culture - something which doesn't always translates abroad

www.theguardian.com

Lorde’s “Royals”: Racist or a stance on classism? |

But every song’s like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin’ in the bathroom/
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room
/We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams/
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
/We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your love affair

Lorde is saying that most of the songs on the radio talk about having lots of money, drinking expensive alcohol and driving expensive cars; most people listening to these songs don’t have any of that. People still listen to these songs because they like them, but they can’t relate to the artist’s lifestyle. “Royals” on the other hand says just this. Lorde is also saying that the middle class most likely won’t be up to this status and that’s OK.

Although Flores is trying to take a stand against racism she is actually coming off as racist herself. When society talks about gold teeth and flashy jewelry, why does it automatically have to be associated with black people? Black people are not the only race who purchase those sorts of things. Other races purchase these luxuries and love them just as much as black people do.

i posted what i felt it was representing was even deeper. i alway felt strange about that hook and when i searched online i found more people feeling it was a sub. that last write up claims it's just a critique of class but yet all here references are targeted at hip hop culture and brehs. why not rich whites?

 

[Dr. Acula]

This is mental illness and delusion.

A lot of celebs are dumb but people always want to hear what they have to say as if they have some higher knowledge by being a celebrity. Someone may be good at music but be complete retard in another arena.

Not to mention a lot of these people be signing slave contracts because they don't even read the shyt they sign or because they value money and fame so much. They don't really have all the power folks think they do outside of their art. Folks need to stop putting these folks on a pedestal

When she isn't out here making one hit wonders she sounds like any other schizo online. No different.

Yes because she’s an insane person

 

[Devilinurear]

She went crazy.

And she has no problem using the racist south African platform

 

[TaxCollector13459]

The Lorde song? Well damn.

I had to go back and read the lyrics sheet, shii was a diss most def

 

[EndDomination]

She’s verifiably insane.

Kind of funny considering her musical history and all, but she is an absolute loon.

Anti-vax people are almost always nuts. There are a few small exceptions - but none of them are public figures.
