Anyone who knows M.I.A’s music will know she has been known to deal with a range of political subjects. I am personally a fan of M.I.A and this song is a winner for me. The video is a little hard hitting, to say the least, but when you are tackling subjects that provoke controversy in your latest single, its hard to produce a fluffy music video for the MTV generation.

The video can be seen below but please be warned this is not for everyone.
