    M.I.A. signed with Roc Nation May 2012. At the time, the rapper’s fourth album, Matangi, was slated for a fall 2012 release.

    In July 2013, director Steve Loveridge leaked a teaser video for a documentary that was scheduled to accompany Matangi. Roc Nation reportedly pulled the video, saying that it was hurting the set-up of the album, according to rollingstone.com.

    M.I.A. has also said that Interscope Records, which released her music, said that Matangi was “too positive,” per rollingstone.com.

    1. No use for this cunt’s music but good for her and yeah, she married and divorced a goddamn BILLIONAIRE so… (Also so much for her ‘politics’…)

      Regardless, she doesn’t Shawn Carter or his front House Negro agency for ** anything **.

      You can only make a star like Jay Electronica (hah hah) once in a lifetime!!!!

    2. til I looked at the paycheck saying $9401, I be certain …that…my friends brother was like actually taking home money part-time on-line.. there moms best frend has been doing this less than 17 months and recently paid the debts on their house and bourt a great Jaguar XJ. visit this website… http://www.Fb39.Com

      .it plays into bigger picture of keeping EVERYONE DOWN by taking away alternative sources of revenue, so that we all stay poor and can never resist the power structure.

    3. I GUESS GAYZ RELEASED HER CUZ SHE WASNT WHITE I MEAN HER MUSIC DOES SOUND CORNY FROM HERE TO THERE BUT THE WORST PART OF ALL GAYZ FAILED TO WHITE HER UP LIKE HE DID HIMSELF ,KANYE .AND BEYONCE

    4. Not interested in her music but good for MIA; she needs Roc Nation’s cornball bullshit like she needs a third fucking tit. White media, teenage shitheads here and Section 8 lifers might fall for Shawn Carter’s fake business sense bullshit but there are LOTS of people who know otherwise–

      only criticism for MIA is that she was dumb enough to believe their lies the first time.

      Jay-Z is as ‘great’ an executive as Isiah Thomas.
