I anticipate enjoying Beck and the White Stripes, so this might be our last shaky entry on the List.

M.I.A. is doing some interesting things here, none of which suit my personal tastes. She adds world music to her hip hop, often imbuing the music with political awareness which is something dance music often lacks. I actually found such short tracks hard to get into. As soon as I found my footing, the song would end.

Still, at least she is doing something different with hip hop. 

RATING: 2/5
