British rapper M.I.A has continued her assault on the New York Times writer who wrote a slander piece on her last week. Inspired by the recent events she\u2019s recorded a song entitled \u201cI\u2019m a Singer\u201d as a response to the author and takes on all \u201cjournalists,\u201d \u201chaters,\u201d and \u201cracists.<\/p>\n
Some of her lyrics include:<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you wanna hear about my politics? I can show you things that would make you sick\u2026And the story\u2019s always f***ed by the time it hits\/And why the hell would journalists be thick as s**t?\/\u2019Cause lies equals power equals politics.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The original Times<\/em> article, written by Lynn Hirschberg, contrasts M.I.A.\u2019s lifestyle with her politicized image and music, particularly her connection to a militant Sri Lanka group, the Tamil Tigers, that has led some to describe her as a terrorist. Now that\u2019s a powerful word! But according to M.I.A:<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018I don\u2019t want to make the same music, sing about the same stuff, talk about the same things. If that makes me a terrorist, then I\u2019m a terrorist.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
