That's one I never really believed. I'm pretty sure it was a joke because there are no vocals on the Mix Up and some people didn't like that fact.
I'd love to be proven wrong but those songs don't seem like they should have vocals and besides don't you think at least a few of those artists would have mentioned something about it by now?

MIA mentioned she did something on Rat Cage.

yeah, im fairly certain the bboys said they had in fact sent the tracks over to said artists. maybe they didnt care for what was sent back, or maybe they just didnt get much of a response.

I think it was just a fleeting idea that got squashed. The Mix-Up didn't do well with critics or sales. Maybe Capital killed it? Maybe they were in a groove and just wanted to work on new shit?

M.I.A. said to the press "that the Beastie Boys have asked her to adds vocals to "Freaky Hijiki," but that she likes "The Rat Cage" instead. She also shared that she does not know yet what she will be doing with the song--just laying down vocals and/or remixing the song too."

And I never heard about anything from the other artists that were name dropped for the project.

The sales part is totally true, but to say it didn't do too well with the critics is not quite accurate. It did win a Grammy after all so the right people liked it.
