Half-time at Super Bowl XLVI (46) and the Madonna concert is rockin' da house. Guest artists Nicki Minaj and MIA are performing Madonna's newest sure platinum release " Give Me All Your Luvin " and without rehearsed warning MIA ( Mathangi Arulpragasam ) drops the bird on the largest stage tv party in history. America and the rest of the world is insulted, amused, and enlightened at all points in between.
British born MIA launched major offenses at all viewers, but to NBC and the NFL her actions required immediate network and league apologies with beet red faces. Madonna on the other hand is livid by all rights. It was her show and her professional reputation took a serious butt kicking. The Material Girl was not at all amused and is seeking compensatory redress. And her considerations are justifiable in that she did invite Mia to perform on her world premiere video for Give Me all Your Luvin.
Ms. Mathangi comes off as quite the paradox. The rapper, singer, producer has been nominated for academy awards, grammys, the Mercury Prize, and has even won a few trophies, and enjoyed respectable chart success. So why in the name of the gods of ego did she make a blatant attempt to destroy her own career?
A Wikipedia perusal of MIA's life reveals an accomplished 36 year old entertainment entrepreneur. Nothing from her past reflects a hardcore gangsta upbringing or even an eye opening urban childhood. Why then did this child of obvious fantasy deliberately blow up a promising bomb relationship with one of the mosst powerful commercial networking specialist in the entertainment business.
Don't go frontin' gangsta when your life's pretty much been gravy. Kid was in the house with the key to forever and she purposely declared war on herself. If there is a marketing gambit in MIA's jaw-dropping' Super Bowl posing we would love to see it ripen on the vine. Any hungry advertizing executive would have had stars in his eyes with visions of MIA's hands and feet immortalized in concrete..
But it seems the road to reckless abandon is paved with birds of an imitation feather. MIA may just have earned her abbreviated moniker- Missing In Action. Some things are a pure shame that are done in the name of entertainment.
Madonna reigns large as the crowned Queen of Hip Pop and Hip Hop celebrates her collaborative efforts in the spread of the Hip Hop gospel. Hip Hop also absorbs MIA's mistake and will use the ensuing flak to fuel global expansions into new creative avenues. Bet the Enlish media is loving this and profits are being had by the few and informed.
Madonna vs. MIA is a no-brainer and Hip Pop is the natural evolution of Hip Hop. The secular becomes the integrated becomes the norm. It's the way of all civilized advancement. Like always the music charts will mirror the true dat tale. Hip Hop hurray ho, hey ho.
