Sasha Frere-Jones, M.I.A. Shouldn’t Have Apologized, for The New Yorker, February 2012.
Watch, Romain Gravas for M.I.A. Read also, Bell Hooks, Misogyny, gangsta rap, and The Piano, for ZMagazine, February 1994.

I can see why people would be for it — there are no jobs otherwise. Why do you think it is that there's such a lack of jobs,...
