M.I.A. - Teqkilla (Remix)
Artist: M.I.A.
Featuring: Nicki Minaj
Producer: Rusko, Switch, and John Hill
Album: Maya
Label: N.E.E.T./XL/Interscope
Quickly, without thinking, grab the nearest piece of paper and write down the names of the two most controversial, polarizing female artists in today’s hip-hop game. Or don’t, because you already know the answer: hipster icon M.I.A. and Young Money superstar Nicki Minaj are two ladies who never fail to get people talking and, on the official remix of Maya single Teqkilla, these two talented rabblerousers collide. Backed by the abrasive synth squeals, chopped vocal samples and jittery percussion of a Rusko, Switch and John Hill, the collaborators drop verses about as off-the-wall as you’d expect; while the headliner’s contributions find her indulging in “sticky-icky-icky-icky-icky we-e-e-ed” and a wide variety of middle-shelf liquors, it’s Nicki who sounds truly sauced, slurring her way through an entertainingly scatterbrained guest verse that ends with a rather unnecessary announcement: “I’m f*cked up.” Sure to spur some healthy debate among our readers, this compulsively body-moving single (in its original form) and much more can be found on M.I.A.‘s third LP, out now overseas and set to drop stateside on July 13.

To answer Richard's question from above (I hope it wasn't rhetorical?), I'd say Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj. But M.I.A. is certainly UP there as well. Moving along...
This is not my cup of tea - at all - and actually induced a headache, but in the right setting (and stocked full of extra-strength Tylenol) it could get a crowd to go nuts.

Hot beat, a little off the wall, but it flows well to me. I dig MIA's style. Nicki killed it.

After listening to this track, I really did expect this from M.I.A.
I enjoy her quirky style and music, but I expected more from Minaj herself! I know Nicki has itty bitty parts here and there in various songs, but I felt like this track went on for too long, so why not add more Minaj? Or at least more lyrics about M.I.A.'s homeland or babies or something. Overall, to me this song felt like a roller coaster; it was fun, but unsure when it was gonna end. |

Z, he said "hip hop game", that may not be MIA but it certainly ain't Gaga.
Was Nicki even on that? It got to the 5min mark and I was wondering where she was. Oh well, guess I missed it. |

nicki is at 2:12 for anyone interested, anyways, I absolutely detest the song and never want to hear it again. This beat was so unorganized and all over the place. The hook sucks, nicki's part was so limited, i just really don't like this. And i think i'm going to sleep now because of this.

Just like the XXXO Remix with Jay, MIA's plan for this album seems to be making tracks for the hipster club crowd and then recruiting a major rapper to draw in the hip-hop crowd. I've got a love/hate relationship with MIA and while hate would be a strong word here, this is not one of her best.
And to join in on the debate, this is one of the only times you'll hear Nicki overshadowed. MIA's so out there she makes Nicki sound like Justin Bieber.

What!!! Dope all around! And Nicki's verse is fire!! After that NYT story, phone # and all (and frankly after Born Free and XXXO), I was no longer looking fwd to MIA's new album. This is the first track that makes me feel more positive twd it. Wish Nicki did more like this as well. Allows her to truly showcase her skills.

MIA rarely dissapoints, but though this was not a bad track, I've heard better. If anybody can rip a strange beat its MIA. I was suprised to see Ms. Minaj on the track, but am now sorta used to Nikki on a unique beat like her release: Massive Attack. This beat seemed more like LSD, than Tequilla to me.

M.I.A is still something I just can’t figure out. I don’t know if it’s bad, bad or so bad that it’s good.

Mia's only years ahead of herself. This song give ya headaches? Your grandma gets headaches from your music so what do you think? Your grandbabies will be dancin to this music. It will all be "sounds" and expression from "sounds" --no more words. Who cares what ppl got to say about their life? Who cares what ya did in the hood? Who really cares about what anyone says anyways? Its all in the sound, and its going to show in years to come.

it would be a banging track....if she just took some freakin ritalin! she really screwed up a promising track. to reply to drizzy3000fiasco, i think M.I.A. is kinda hip-hop but she just doesn't play "the game." The hip-hop in her took a backseat this time around 'cause of all the media attn it got her before. don't knock maya, she was avant garde before it became fashionable.
