M.I.A. Debuts Clothing Line in Homebrew Clip

Many were shocked last month when Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A. announced at the Bonnaroo festival that this was her last show. And although there's been no final confirmation as that being the end of her music career, we can say that she's moved on to more day-glo pastures -- developing yet another celeb fashion line. WWD first reported back in May that she was starting her own streetwear collection, now visible for the first time on her website. Specifically, see the rudimentary video called "Real Pirates of the Caribbean," featuring M.I.A.'s friends dancing around to M.I.A.-style music while wearing sweaters and jumpsuits with her signature day-glo colors and graphic prints. No specifics just yet, but keep watching.

She is pretty cute, I think, but I’ve bee hearing some bad ass buzz lately about M.I.A.’s connection to a terrorist group. Ceylon Records - the label handling Sri Lankan Rapper Delon has released this insane video!

You gotta give some credit to Delon for having the guts to speak out on this matter. Terrorism is not a matter to be taken lightly, even in music, specially with hip hop music, a genre that influences many people.
I found this new related site: http://www.saynototerror.com
What bothers me most of all is that they’re having a war against war. I think the best thing that should happen is for M.I.A. and Delon to be on the same side—moving for peace and unity in Sri Lanka. I believe that if M.I.A. and Delon work on the same side, for peace and unity, that would serve us all better.
