Diplo Vs. M.I.A.

So as many of you know MIA's latest release is no Arular and apparently Diplo, who produced the majority of the tracks on MAYA, feels the same way. Here is the statement he made to blackbookmag.com

On what went wrong with: She didn’t care about it. I was in the studio with her, she didn’t write anything.

On the long running partnership with Diplo and Switch: Me and Switch tried our best to be quality control of the record and she didn’t want that. She kind of went on her own way. I was like, Look, nobody in your crew—we were the only people she could trust, and our asses were on the line too. We got here because of working with people like her. We care about the way things sound, and when the people that she works with don’t, then it’s fucked up. She’s got a talent in every aspect. She’s got ideas bigger than any artist I’ve ever met and she’s someone to fuckin’ make that happen. All she has is a bunch of yes men around her and they kinda suck.”

On burning bridges: “I burned like twenty bridges with her. I build my own bridges, it doesn’t matter. I’m honest. As soon as she comes to terms with what she does then we can work again. One of us has to be like, We fucked up, and then we can do it again.”
