M.I.A.: BORN FREE

International cult hip-hopper M.I.A. is back with an aggressive new single “Born Free” and a shocking controversial video.  Way more hardcore than “Paper Planes”, “Born Free” features  heavy samples from “Ghost Rider” by Suicide, and the intense video, directed by Roman Gavras, addresses themes of racism and militarism through an ultra-violent plot. Its ginger jihad and its pretty disturbing.  YouTube pulled the video yesterday for its graphic content, but M.I.A. has no intentions of censoring the video or her message to appease mainstream music fans. She responded on twitter saying: “BOOOOOOO” and has posted the video on her website.  Today, it is also available again on youtube but only to registered users.  Gavras will take the concept for the video even further, releasing his directorial debut “Redheads” which will draw the plot of “Born Free” into a full length feature film.
