Found this really interesting. Mikey Mike claims the
original "Jump"
beat was originally intended for M.I.A. Here's his original version:

Has a very dancey yet psychedelic world sound that I feel would of been pefect on Kala/Maya. I really like the lack of heavy dubstep and the samples on the original much more.
Jump is my favorite off Unapologetic, and M.I.A. is my favorite artist so I'm kinda conflicted about t it. I feel Rihanna did it justice, and I especially love the incorporation of Pony in Rihanna's version, but I still wish M.I.A. did her take.

I'm assuming she means from Rihanna's album.... she does a tribute to We Found Love sometimes, so I doubt it's shade. I suppose they were both approached at a similar time since they're both on the Roc Nation.
