I understand M.I.A.'s frustration, though. After all, M.I.A. is very political, edgy and underground. She hates mainstream artists who are puppets for their labels and do things for commercial purposes. She is cooler than that.
This is why:
-She only collaborates with indie, underground artists like Jay-Z and Christina Aguilera.
-She is repped by the indie, underground label Interscope, not a huge money-grubbing label like Lady Gaga's label Interscope.
-She only allows her music to be used in tiny little indie flicks for fledgling movie distributors like Sony's "Pineapple Express" and Fox's "Slumdog Millionaire."
-She only allows her music to be used in commercials for obscure brands like Honda.
