M.I.A. performed at the Grammy Awards on the due date of her baby. Luckily she didn't have to work too hard since her beat and chorus were used by Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, and T.I. in their song. I love M.I.A. and glad she is getting props. That said just having Jay Z and Lil' Wayne on the same track is awesome. Adding Kanye and T.I. is putting a cherry on top. They are great, but Hova and Wheezy are icons.
And while I am at it, I can't help but link to the remix of the greatest rap song of all time: The Fresh Prince Theme
Check out the Grammy performance ... it is wonderful:

T.I. > Weezy easily. T.I. is a much better writer, Weezy just has a good voice and better hype.
Kanye's rhyme schemes are simple and he rhymes the same word with itself in non creative ways to often (he is still a great producer). Jay Z is still an icon, but he's not the rapper he once was (Reasonable Doubt > The Blueprint).
The best M.I.A. song is the Paper DFA Remix that was used in Slumdog Millionaire.
Weezy is much more creative and his wordplay is amazing. If they had a freestyle battle, Lil' Wayne kills him. I like T.I. though. I like Kanye's creativity and willing to take chances with his music and beats, but yeah he is the weakest rapper of the four. Jay Z was the best rapper alive, but is coasting now obviously. Still sweet to see him on the track.
I prefer the Paper Planes Diplo Street Remix for M.I.A. I also like when she is not pregnant.
