Snoop is setting the stage and mood for Plastic Beach. In an interview Damon Alban explains how the concept came to be.
I was just looking for all the plastic within the sand", he said. On 17 September 2008, Albarn and Jamie Hewlett announced that they would be doing another Gorillaz album in an interview with CBC News. Hewlett said that from their work on Monkey, “we just learned more about what we do, musically and artistically. That’s a great place to come at when we come to another Gorillaz album. It doesn’t have to be animation and music”. Hewlett also expressed annoyance at having to draw the band members again: “I’m so fucking bored of drawing those characters. But then we had a moment where we had a new angle on it… I’m gonna adapt them”. In a later interview Hewlett said: “they’ll be the same characters, but a little bit older and told in a different way”.

“Bucky Done Gun”, as writer W.H. from Spin notes, led to Brazil being where M.I.A. had enjoyed her most remarkable resonance after the release of Arular. The song became a hit on MTV Brasil after its release, a first for the indigenous music scene of the favelas or urban ghettos in Rio de Janeiro.
In an interview from a Brazilian magazine she stated:
There’s a big divide between the classes. Favela Funk is seen as music of the poor people, and ‘Bucky’ is the first time they’ve played that sound on commercial radio. It’s my first visit here and it’s mayhem – me turning up at a funk ball is a big deal. It’s kinda complicated.
Critics have praised the development as encouraging and reflective of the emerging new reality, “the idea of populist art and populist technology dissolving cultural borders not with some Eurocentric stand-up-for-love sap ballad, but with a politicised ‘let’s fuck’ anthem by a British Sri Lankan, produced by a Mississippi-born American DJ using a Rio de Janeiro ghetto groove."Hattie Collins of The Guardian highlights M.I.A. as a baile funk/political pop pioneer with the release paving the way for bands CSS and Bonde do Rolê to emerge in her wake.
The musician Mike Shinoda of alternative rock bands Linkin Park and Fort Minor highlighted the song as the latter band’s anthem during the European leg of their 2005 tour. A remix of the song was played by DJ AM and Travis Barker during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
