Paper Planes is the third single from M.I.A.’s sophomore album Kala and samples The Clash’s Straight to Hell. The song was released digitally on February 11th, 2008. It became popular because of its use in a trailer for David Gordon Green’s “Pineapple Express”, and for its appearance in the 8-time Oscar and 4-time Golden Globe winning film “Slumdog Millionaire”. Consequently, it peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #12 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Paper Planes was also nominated for Record Of The Year at The 51st Annual GRAMMY® Awards, but lost to Robert Plant & Alison Krauss’s song Please Read The Letter. And she most definitely cannot be “Tagged” or described as , though some have done it. M.I.A is absolutely everything wrapped in one if not her own genre.

This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed.
