Is it 2015 again,Uncategorized Archives because with another Miley Cyrus controversy in the air, it sure feels like it.

The singer is back in the spotlight promoting new, stripped down country tunes. In her comeback interview with Billboard, she spoke about much more than her own musical return—and some of her comments about hip-hop and rap are being scrutinized by folks online.

Cyrus was asked by Billboard about an influence, Melanie Safka, and in her answer, brought up Kendrick Lamar:

But I also love that new Kendrick [Lamar] song [“Humble”]: “Show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch marks.” I love that because it’s not “Come sit on my dick, suck on my cock.” I can’t listen to that anymore. That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much “Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock” -- I am so not that.

I was torn on whether I was going to work with certain producers that I really like. But I feel if we’re not on the same page ­politically ... My record is political, but the sound bite doesn’t stop there. Because you can write something beautiful and you know E! Newswill ruin our lives and say, “This is a political record.” Because then I’m the Dixie Chicks and I’m getting my album smashed in the streets, and that’s not what I want. I want to talk to people in a compassionate, understanding way -- which people aren’t doing.

Over the years, Cyrus has been previously called out for her appropriation of black culture by people including Nicki Minaj, both in a New York Timesinterview and on stage.

While some people have defended her decision to explore a new sound, many people are calling her out again today—and questioning how she thought her stereotypical interpretation (through songs, dance, music videos, and more) of the culture even insinuated she was in the hip-hop scene to begin with.
