M.I.A.

I found this gif on youtube.
 

 
Is this real or fake ? It looks like the MTV interview or this movie interview but she never mentioned her nickname in these. So did you ever saw that ? I want this video!

One of the best female rappers out there. I love her and she texted me on tumblr back. Very happy about that.
 


 
She released an EP called "1991" and a mixtape called "Fantasea" this year.
Her debut album will drop next year.

Oh this is a thread for me since I am collecting her inspirations for a long time now. 
 
Well first , lets talk about her music inspirations .
She loves the 'masters of every genre' . She loves Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen , Eminem , Biggie Smalls , Britney Spears and Nirvana . She is also a huge fan of Anthony and the Johnsons , the Crystal Method , The Beach Boys , Nina Simone , Elvis Presley , Chris Isaak , Bruce Springsteen and Jeff Buckley . 
She always listens to the same songs over and over again . The first single she ever bought was Coolios Gangsters Paradise . 
 
Her lyrical inspirations would be Allen Ginsberg and the other Beat poets , Walt Whitman  , Albert Camus and Sartre. She mentioned the last two in an interview and posted quotes of them . Allen Ginsbergs Howl was her introduction to the world of poetry and she said it changed her live , she is transporting a copy of it in her pocket . Cute , isnt it ?
She also loves self-help books like The Master Key System . Lolita the book and the movie is also a huge inspiration of hers. 
 
She generally loves the 50s, 60s and 20s . Fashion icons are Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall .
Oh , her favourite movies are The Godfather 1 and 2 , American Beauty (the soundtrack influenced Born To Die a lot) , Sin City , Virgin Suicide and Scarface. 
 
And also this is a fitting quote of hers .

That was so sweet of you! I've been a fan of her since basically the beginning and her loving literature and reading all the classics, made me respect her even more. I bought Lolita after BTD dropped and a Walt Whitman poem book before Paradise. There is so much more though!

Her favorite books are definitely "selfhelp-books" and this whole genre of motivational books and the road to a successful life. She named countless of those during her career already.
 
I will update this ASAP I promise y'all! I'm just very busy with finals right now. 

She's a huge Allen Ginsberg fan and a fan of the Beat Generation in general. Jack Kerouac as well I think.
Walt Whitman and Nabokov obviously.

1. Where is the video of this ? It looks exactly like the MTV interview she did when Born To Die came out , but I can't find it!
 

 
 
 
2. So was the 'Die young' tatttoo a real tattoo ? I never saw it again ! 
 
 
And lol @ caffeine

Honeymoon is definitely and undoubtedly her best album and y'all have no taste. Thats all I'm gonna say. 

Y'all are so stupid. I'm not saying this is real, but it OBVIOUSLY will be titled "Lust for Life". That is like basic grammar. Just look at the cover, it's the same.
