5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get enough of this song., October 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I heard this song in a bar a long time ago and loved it. I could never figure out who it was until MIA started getting popular. This song is fantastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flying away, August 11, 2008
By Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
MIA's "Paper Planes" has brought this famous Sri Lankan rapper into the public consciousness because it's featured in the "Pineapple Express" movie. The video has also faced censorship because of MIA's juxtaposition of gunshots and cash registers. MIA has also claimed that she'll retire from the music business.

In "Paper Planes",MIA critiques xenophobic views of immigrants that see them as thieves and killers. It's got a catchy rhythm; MIA is creative in her use of percussion. It's not the usual rap song in some ways... thankfully. Unfortunately,it's not that exciting a song,despite the theme. It becomes repetitive. MIA's Sri Lankan roots are hidden. It's not a particularly memorable song. It flies, but it doesn't fly high.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite track from 2007!, August 8, 2008
One of the great indie songs of 2007 is finally getting heard by mainstream audience. Will be a "rump shaker" and send you "straight to hell" and beyond. A now and future classic.
