The stunts are pretty legit and gritty without the Hollywood flair too. I feel as if <strong>&#8220;Bad Girls&#8221;<\/strong> skips over <strong>Vicki Leex<\/strong> mixtape and goes back to the world orientalist flavor of the <strong>Kala<\/strong> days of M.I.A..

The short features daring car stunts that had M.I.A. terrified the entire time.[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/02\/03\/mia-premieres-video-for-bad-girls_n_1252699.html\">huffpost<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>&#8220;It was dope to have so many people from so many different backgrounds speaking so many different languages come together to create something that we believed in,&#8221; says M.I.A about the video. &#8220;I thought I was gonna die on the shoot when I saw the drifting. \u00a0It was a four day shoot so everyone was on edge the whole time specifically ME when I had to do bluesteel singing to the camera while the cars did doughnuts on the wet road ten feet away. In my mind I was thinking how I was gonna deliver the video to Vice with no legs.&#8221; [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/prnewswire\/press_releases\/2012\/02\/03\/LA47155\">bizjournals<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>But, yo&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.zap2it.com\/pop2it\/2012\/02\/madonnas-super-bowl-single-give-me-all-your-luvin.html\">this track that just premiered with Madonna and Nicki Minaj though leaves a bad taste in my mouth.<\/a> They dress Nicki and MIA to be cheerleaders and give them a two line rap?
