M.I.A. Is Not A Fan Of Tenacious D

mia2__opt.jpg

M.I.A. is pissed!

Maya is scheduled to perform at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, taking place in San Francisco on August 30th, but only booked the show because she thought the Beastie Boys would be performing!

Well, the Beasties have cancelled all tour dates due to MCA's cancer recovery, so Jack Black stepped up to the plate and he and Kyle Gass will be taking the Beasties' place at the festival with a Tenacious D performance.

And boy, M.I.A. is not happy with the lineup change!

Writes the performer on her official Twitter:

I ORIGINALLY BOOKED ON SHOWS COZ BEASTIES WERE HEADLINERS , BUT NOW THEY AINT DOING IT AND I JUS WANNA SAY , WE HAVE TO GO HARD!!!

CANT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED BEASTIES WITH TENACIOUS D ??????????????????????AND IF I PULL OUT THEY SUE! SO REALLY? TENACIOUS D AFTER ME ?

SO ME AND JACK BLACK ARE BACK TO BACK, BEASTIES GET WELL SOON!

YOUR ALL WELCOME ON STAGE FROM THE GET GO, FUCK IT! IM TAKIN BIRD FLU OUT OF THE SET ! JUS TO MAKE A POINT!

Yikes.

Insensitive, or….???

      i agree with MIA.. tenacious D? are u kiddin me? they're a joke not a band.



    2. 102

      tenacious d are amazing musicians. they fully understand the brain on music. fyi….i wouldn't take anyone seriously if they decide to throw out a statement like that and then spell "you're" wrong. she's an idiot.



    3. 103

      she sounds really stuck up…was she hoping to gain sales due to the beastie boys or something..geez



    4. 104

      This ugly indian GYPSY should be honoured to be playing on the same stage as A-list Hollywood actor and extremely talented musician and comedian - Jack Black! WHAT A FUCKING INDIAN PIECE OF SHIT THAT GYPSY IS!



    5. 105

      this annoys me. bad attitude. ugh.
      BUT, she is basically the only hip-hop act (besides unknowns Atmosphere) for the entire day. I could see her feeling a little pissed. But common, just suck it up and BRING IT BITCH!!



    6. 106

      UGLY GYPSY! GO BACK TO INDIA OR WHICHEVER SHITHOLE YOU CAME FROM!



    7. 107

      uh, dumb bitch, much? Jack Black is amazing. And regardless, exposure is exposure, so she should be happy with that. it's going to be a little more diverse now, and that's never a bad thing. she needs to stop being lame. complaining about something out of her hands is hardly attractive. if i were going, i'm already convinced i'd be skipping her set.



    8. 108

      who the fuck is this ugly harlem strip club tramp. she should be lucky she is working and not sucking on the gubment nipple.
      the news of the beastie boys is old news and this just goes to show she doesnt know what the fuck is going on. stupid bitch.



    9. 109

      I love M.I.A but that some bogus shit. She should be glad that she is on the bill. She is still not that well know in the U.S. besides from Paper Plains. Why the fuck would you take a song out just to prove a point. What point are u trying to prove. "The piss off your fans" point. You know MCA is sick so the Beasties have no choice but to cancel. I like Tenacious D but I think the festival could have done better than them.



    10. 110

      Get over yourself, M.I.A!! You're only a one-hit wonder because your stupid song was in the Pineapple Express trailer. What a dumb bitch.

      TENACIOUS D ftw.



    11. 111

      hahahahaha bogass



    12. 112

      Re: sophiekey – Oh STFU you racist trailer trash bitch. go check the oven your Frito pie is finished.



    13. 113

      Not insensitive. Beasties are legends, Tenacious D are a joke, even as a joke they're a joke. Jack Black is one of the lamest people alive. His films suck, his "music" moreso.



    14. 114

      haha really this bitch had one fucking hit
      not to mention paper planes was made almost 2 years ago and she hasn't contributed a good song since.
      i'd way rather see jack black play than her lame ass

      115

      Stupid illiterate cow! Who the hell is she? One hit wonder.Shut your hole and go take care of your baby.



    16. 116

      M.I.A. rocks TD sucks!



    17. 117

      I'd rather see Tenacious D over M.I.A. and the Beastie Boys any day. M.I.A. should bite her tongue.



    18. 118

      MIA is a bitch



    19. 119

      SO AGREE WIT MIA!!! SHES TOO GUD TO B ON THE SAME STAGE AS.. them!



    20. 120

      I love her! I "jacked" her last album and this bitch is BIDness! Another album please!



    21. 121

      uh she sucks, so shes with good company.



    22. 122

      What I think is so bad about her comment is that Tenacious D was gracious enough to take Beasties' place cause MCA has CANCER!! CANCER, you ungreatful, indignant bitch! Furthermore, just because Tenacious D is not her cup of tea, she should have at least taken the highroad soley based on artistic integrity. Blah!



    23. 123

      Art Criticism is one great endeavour and that's what M.I.A. stands for here. I would pick a M.I.A. fan on a date any day before a Tenacious D fan. They are limits to having trash tastes.

      Re: Vexation – Hell yeah, I am available for… a…. date….what time daaaahling?



    27. 127

      Re: Nostradamus – Uh, Kyle can play the guitar 10x better than Jack. You are showing you are no musician. Plus if it weren't for Kyle teaching Jack how to play etc, there would be no TD.

      Suck it.



    28. 128

      Re: KevinK – Kyle is a rad ass guitarist! Could'nt really expect a lot of people to recognize this, however…



    29. 129

      regardless of what you think of Tenacious D, MIA complaining that she no longer wants to do the show and that she'd get sued for breach of contract if she pulled out is extremely unprofessional.



    30. 130

      unintelligible.



    31. 131

      Id be mad too! Tenacious D is a joke.



    32. 132

      Watch your mouth bitch, you're lucky you were even invited.



    33. 133

      Re: KevinK
      I'm no musician, but I saw these guys 12 rows back.
      Jack has the "It" factor, he would have succeeded with any good musician. There are countless good musicians out there and Kyle is lucky to have met him.
      that's interesting though that Ten D wouldn't be around if Kyle didn't show Jack how to play



    34. 134

      she has a point
      love jack b but his band sucks

      MIA will blow them off the stage

      136

      I like MIA's single but don't like her attitude and total lack of graciousness. I see her point though; Beastie Boys are legendary and although I like Jack Black, Tenacious D are a gimmick band. Not in the same category as Beastie Boys and not at all what she signed up for.



    37. 137

      bitch has one song and she thinks she's bigger than anybody, sorry bb but do your fuckin job which I am sure you have gotten paid for, and stop bitchin to the public. Tenacious D or any other group, consider yourself lucky you got a gig. There are so many Americans who have lost theirs.

      144

      M.I.A. is a useless fucking bitch. Her music is horrible. Tenacious D is so much better than she will ever be.



    45. 145

      She is a no-talent, classless moron.



    46. 146

      Who is MIA? That dumb, arrogant girl should be glad that Tenacious D is going to be there.What a cruel thing to do, to publically humiiate T.D like that and to basically spitting on her paycheck. Not to mention a bad move, insulting them, since they are WAY more famous than her.



    47. 147

      I love Jack Black!!! C'mon now!
      i bet people will go to see TD and not here… hehehe



    48. 148

      Kage and Jables got more talent in their pinkies then this broad. She'll be in the bargain bin in a year, let her bail.



    49. 149

      Re: sofia692 – I had to go to Yahoo music to even see who this chick is. I listened to part of Paper Planes, but I couldn't get through more than 60 seconds of it. Sorry, but I have to disagree with your statement that she is talented. The studio voice and the GUNS shooting in the chorus. REALLY?!?! Yeah, real role model! Sarcasm! I had NEVER heard of this lady until she was pregnant at some awards show and I listen to EVERYTHING. I don't listen to Hip Hop ALL day, but I listen to it enough to know that I have never heard her.

      Re: sallyhoes – Don't forget the "NOW THEY AINT" with all caps to boot. And JUS twice, instead of just - was it really THAT hard to type ONE more letter?!?!? I don't care if you tweet with punctuation, but proper grammar, please!!! Like you said, it shows what an idiot she is!



    51. 151

      Re: HurtsDonut2009 – AAAHHHH!!! Why do you have to yell?!?! People, please stop with the all caps affliction. Just type everything in lower case, if you can't be bothered to use upper and lower case letters in the same post. SO annoying! It hurt my eyes to read that, and I shouldn't have read it, because it was pretty much jibberish!



    52. 152

      tenacious d is awesome



    53. 153

      Re: Slutstick
      M.I.A. has released two albums, not two songs sweetheart.



    54. 154

      tenacious D rocks. even if they dont shes just being a bitch. so what if beastie boys arnt there? so if she could bail without being sued she would have no problem letting the fans, that came for her, down? bitch.



    55. 155

      ummm nobody give a flying f about your music or your opinions. more people know the D's music than know your music…get it straight your only famous in the U.K



    56. 156

      That mutt needs to shut her cock holster.



    57. 157

      After she sings 2 songs????



    58. 158

      Re: sophiekey – And what Nazi enclave did you rear your ugly, racist head up from out of? Go away.



    59. 159

      FYI for all the people calling her a "one hit wonder": she actually isn't, and by saying that the only thing you're doing is demonstrating how little you know about music–or anything beyond what you hear on commercial radio or in the preview of Pineapple Express, apparently (didn't even realized she had a song on that soundtrack).
      But I also want to add that her comment, in addition to being rude and tacky, is disrespectful and insensitive to the Beastie Boys. You find out that someone can't tour because they have CANCER is this is how you react? Ick.
