Today, M.I.A. releases her already-lauded fourth LP Matangi. After a series of delays – some spawned by her ongoing label woes, and some sparked by her own run-ins with the likes of the NFL – the album that features production from Hit-Boy, Switch, Danja, as well as guest vocals from The Weeknd, finally sees the light of day.
And while the LP has seen its fair share of push-backs, Matangi happens to drop on the same day as another Interscope legend, Eminem, someone who M.I.A. claims to be a big fan of. In REVOLT’s brief conversation with the singer at this year’s inaugural YouTube Music Awards, M.I.A. expressed her excitement about running into the self-proclaimed “Rap God” .
“I do want to meet Eminem… I kept missing him every time he walked past the trailer,” M.I.A. admitted before the show. When asked if she was excited about Em’s new Marshall Mathers LP 2, M.I.A. simply said, “Eminem’s a legend, no matter whether he puts out albums or not.” http://news.revolt.tv/m-i-a-discusse...inem-a-legend/
