New fun summer song “Chillin”, by Wale ft. Lady Gaga, is sounding a bit like an MIA track. This is just my own opinion, but I’ve been following artist MIA since early 2000, and this Wale/Lady Gaga song is very much like MIA’s original one-of-a kind style.
MIA’s chart topping song “Paper Planes” made radio soon after big film “Pineapple Express” was released in theaters. Yes, it has taken MIA almost 10 years to hit mainstream radio! Anyway, if you listen to her latest record, that will show you just how similar the style of “Chillin” is to MIA’s flavor. It’s really more of Lady Gaga that sounds like she’s ripping of MIA’s style. I love you Gaga, but it’s true. Wonder if this song was originally written to ft. MIA?
Here’s the Wale ft. Lady Gaga first. Below this will be MIA’s Paper Planes song. Listen to the similarities if you care:

this song is wikked.
hello ok so these two songz ROCK but you can tell that they are sung by two different girls DUH one has a accent and the other doesnt sooo use you ears and listen silly ppl
Yeah Lady Gaga does sound like MIA complete with fake Indian accent. I think she’s just really easily influenced.
Gaga is completely ripping off MIA. Unreal.
Either he is trying to use the MIA track without paying for the sample, or he is using Gaga to get some chart exposure whilst ripping off MIA, either way its pretty sad, or he couldn’t get MIA. The track even references MIA and her track..

Really liked the The Mix Tape About Nothing, but that is weak.
I love me some Lady Gaga… But there been times she slightly “impersonates” other artist’s vocals. For example on her hit single,”Poker Face”, she sounds like a mix between Fergie (on the verses: See BEP’s My humps vs. Poker Face for reference) and Christina Aguilera’s explosive vocals (on the hook)… Sorry to say.
When I was listening to some songs that my brother recently put on my computer, I heard “Chillin’” and thought it was an MIA song featuring someone else, then I saw it said Lady Gaga. I thought it was some sort of mess up. It really sounds like MIA…
HOW in hell does this sound like M.I.A.?!?!?
i’ve been to both m.i.a. and gaga’s concerts i love em both but gaga does not sound like m.i.a.
However she does sing her verse in an way that reminds me of the dixies cups version of iko iko
