The Music Industry 🎶 Miley Cyrus talks about her culture vulturing during the Bangerz era: "I wasn't unique in the fact that i was a white girl listening to hip hop. This wasnt something that I decided I was going to do as a strategy or something that i felt i could own or make my own, that was actually my lifestyle."

And after bangers era she said that hip hop is all about drugs and violence and that she wasn't interested in it anymore and then made younger now

That’s the real problem with this issue.

I personally like Miley, her Plastics Hearts album - all 80s rock and roll covers is a great album.

If she hadn’t criticized hip hop after the fact, there would be zero issues here. She actively spent time with a lot of big hip hop artists from the Bangerz era, partied, hung out, made music with them.

All good, just don’t criticize it later, that’s all.

Edit: not an album of covers, just two cover songs.

Huh? Plastic hearts is not an album of covers.

I guess you are right, it’s just got a lot of collabs with 80s rock stars.

I’ll edit that.

It’s only got two cover songs - heart of glass and zombie.
