Paper Planes, is arguably the hottest track off of M.I.A.'s new album Kala. The best part of the track is the gun shot and cash register samples; it makes the song. When M.I.A. performed it on the Letterman Show, they censored out the gun shots and M.I.A. got pissed. Rightfully, so. Here's a couple of my favorite remixes of this track. First, there's the instrumental version; useful for making your own remix. Then, there's the remix ft. Bun B and Rich Boy--they spit some hot verses on it. Also, there's the Sri Lankan version by Esau Mwamwaya. It's pretty dope. I can understand a word he's saying, but it sounds cool. Last, but not least is a Cumbia version by Sonido Martines. Not my favorite, but it deserves a listen. If you want to listen to the original version or the rest of the album, you should buy it off
or better yet, put it on your Christmas lists and maybe somebody will buy it for you.Paper Planes (Instrumental) - M.I.A.
Paper Planes ft. Bun B and Rich Boy - M.I.A.
Esau Mwamwaya - Tengazako
Paper Planes (Guachito Remix) - M.I.A.
Also, there's the original, kid safe version, without the gunshots.

guachito remix is tite, mad decent's blog makes it like argentina is poppin off...they even got a blog branch there i'm pretty sure
paper planes is so hot, finally some appreciation for that song. i feel it got shadowed by other songs off of kala that got more hype, but when they hit the club just couldn't cut it like the planez
yeah dude i'm gonna throw up if i hear another remix of "Boyz". The drums on the original are dope for mixing tho and it was the first available (even tho birdflu and xr2 were up on her myspace for the grip) single off the album but GODDAMN.
Anyone got a good copy of Diplo's XR2 turbo remix? I like the horns on that version more but i have a crummy bitrate version that ain't spin-worthy. share the <3333
