SC you out there to defend your dissing of M.I.A.?

sorry folks, been busy putting my life into boxes. about 36 hours before the moving van rolls on out of DC…

i don't have much ass to shake?!? what angle you be checking me out from?!? :D

i bailed because it was boring. hip hop-meets-banghra as a musical genre just doesn't work for me - i like electronic music, but this was boring IMO. she didn't impress me with her "singing", she didn't dance that well, there was no band to watch (just a DJ)… nothing caught my attention, so i left for the rapture (a VERY wise decision, they were one of my festival highlights). she did seem to have a lot of attitude, which folks were in to. the crowd was eating it up, people were indeed dancing. i preferred to shake my supposedly small ass to the rapture.

realistically, i don't think it will do anything amazing on the charts. she has *some* buzz, but doesn't have the mainstream tracktion required for chart success IMO. i could be wrong, maybe i don't have a good read of the pulse of the mainstream…

Spot on assessment, if it makes the BB 200 chart at all, I'd be surprised but mid 100s at best if it's an otherwise slow week and 10-20K could do that. But it's already platinum on Bulls chart, and the M.I.A. shrine is rivaling the Amy W. one I'm sure….

wait for it:

"when it came to charting, this album was M.I.A."

i couldn't find any mention of it on billboard. did it even crack the top-200? it's definitely not in the top-100.

dude, the latest billboard charts haven't even been released, so of course you can't find any mention of it.
