Who could have predicted that international superstar M.I.A., who released her current single, Paper Planes, in early February, would have her Diplo-produced song remixed and freestyled over in droves nearly 13 months after the release of her latest album, Kala?  Sensing that there was nothing left to be spit over Lil’ Wayne’s raped and pillaged A Milli beat, multiple artists (including 50 Cent, Trey Songz, and Jim Jones) have instead jumped on Paper Planes.  Adding a different twist to the hit record are future international superstars Da Spokesman and Don’t Talk Much of Rock City, who creatively infuse American politics into their version.  Picking up where they left on the previously-featured No Air (Freestyle), the duo petition U.S. citizens to vote for Barack Obama and remind everyone of their hatred for the Bush Administration.  R. City will release their debut, Wake The Neighbors, later this year.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on September 15, 2008

This is beat is so catchy that is why artists like this beat. This song is pretty good but they should of put more lyrics. Too much gunshots and the chorus isnt that good. I rock obama i aint messin wit mccain. Not that original

Rock City snapped hard! They always bring it every time they drop a track! I fell in love with this M.I.A song not even from M.I.A but from people's remixes to it. This is classic. Peep my homey Muja Messiah's version as well. Muja Messiah is from Minnesota.

RockCity did their thing though! On the real deal. I wish this was the real version and all over TV!

Chorus is the only thing i have a problem with...talking about politics and stop the war meanwhile the chorus is nothing but gun shots...bit ironic if u ask me

u kno wat? MIA's Paper Planes was a HOT song that came out a year and a half ago, idk why everyone finally decides to do somethin with it at the same time. LOL but of every freestyle [50 cent... trey songz] and "remake" [swagger like us] this is my favorite one i've heard BESIDES the original.

Obama and McCain are both terrible candidates.

But Obama's the better decision. Nice track.

xstrat101x what are you talking about? Obama is a great candidate. By the way this is coming from a Canadian. Anyways, not going to go off topic. This song rocks, I like the flow, I like everything. It's a banger to me.
