Miley Makes Her Rapping Debut on Mike WiLL Made It's "23"
There are a few things we never ever asked of Miley Cyrus, but that she still seems hellbent on sharing with us anyway. Like her twerking. Her ever-present tongue. Her unwavering affinity for nudity. And, now, her rap skills that, needless to say, leave much to be desired.
With co-signs from producer Mike WiLL Made It (who created the double-platinum G.O.O.D. Music anthem "Mercy") and Juicy J (whose third solo album "Stay Trippy" just debuted in the Billboard 200's Top 5), you'd think that you could bank on Miley's delivery being dope, but you'd be wrong.
Then again, we can't say we were expecting anything less from the girl who's gone from Disney-approved pop ("Party in the U.S.A.") to soaring soft rock ballads ("The Climb") to acoustic country covers ("Jolene") before ultimately landing on (what she believes to be) "dirty south hip-hop." She's clearly dabbling in everything, while simultaneously doing her best to be this generation's Madonna (if measured by shock value), so nothing she does should come as a surprise anymore.
Her latest installment in the Metamorphosis O' Miley series is her appearance on Mike WiLL Made It's debut single "23," which we teased here, but has now arrived in its full glory. She was given the coveted honor of spitting the first verse, but 2 Chainz should be on guard because she just stole his whole flow:
"I be in the club / standing on the couch / In them Wolf Greys / like it's my house / Drinking out the bottle / I got no respect / Looking like a model / who just got a check / I back it up / 'cause I don't give a f—k / If you're a lame / that's a shame, you can't hang with us / I'm MC Hammer fly / you can't touch / J's so fly / I should work at Flight Club."
The song sounds like everything else Mike WiLL's touched and turned to gold ("No Lie," "Bandz a Make Her Dance," "Pour It Up") so it will be a smash but, much to Miley's chagrin, it won't be because of her; all she did was smartly hitch her star to a tune that falls in line with a still-celebrated trend. Listen to the song, which contains explicit language, over here. [Follow @daniellesaid]
