Considering Jay-Z appeared on “Swagger Like Us” (which samples her “Paper Planes”) and plans to do a new version of it on The Blueprint 3, it’s about time Jay-Z actually hops on an M.I.A. track and does a few bars. Here’s a remix of “Boyz” with Jay as the American foil to M.I.A.’s third world concerns (he talks about African Americans getting put behind bars for drugs and putting Obama in the White House, while she talks about soldiers). [Nahright]

This version is a bit late.But,I think the one with Time Machine is much better. |

Jay and the rest of mainstream America is a few years late on the M.I.A. bandwagon... http://blog.savankong.com |

Like Nas once said of Jay-Z when Eminem appeared on one of Jay's tracks on the Blueprint and ate him up, Jay is a "dickriding faggot--you love the attention." Must this cat appear in every single track out there getting buzz? He added nothing to the song. Jay's yesterday's news. I'm not even hating but Brooklyn has a new king taking over, Papoose. |
The timing of this is weird since this was a single over a year ago but I love the track, I love Maya and I love Hov. Better late than never.
