« Schema Blitz | Main | WTF? |Overheard in New York »

Bonafide hustla' M.I.A.'s video for her dope single "Paper Planes" off her 2nd album Kala dropped on Monday...and the shizz has already hit the fan.
There's been a lot of controversy surrounding this single, which includes the sound of gunshots and contains some pretty progressive lyrics--what M.I.A. song doesn't?--particularly in the U.S.A. There's also been some negative feedback from devoted M.I.A. fans who were shocked that she shot the video in New York.
So, M.I.A took to her official blog to clear some things up. Read M.I.A.'s response to all the haters and why she feels impassioned to set the record straight HERE.
Watch the uncensored version of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" video:
