According to the Village Voice, “M.I.A. is mad at MTV. Just recently, she wrote a MySpace blog rant, one that’s since been taken down, about how the MTV-edit version of her “Paper Planes” video has fallen victim to the channel’s standards-and-practices department. The gunshot noises on the track’s hook are gone, replaced with, in her words, “this fucked up mess with double-tracked bullshit mess.”"
Gun shots or no gun shots, I love M.IA., this song, and the video, which was shot in New York. This is song is my favorite off her sophomore album Kala.
