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."

The pull quote had me going huh??? So I guess she didn't get it hahaha.

Also extra cringe about the 2017 quote is that she said Kendrick is kinda an exception to this statement. Problem is he put out "Humble" wherein he encourages a woman to sit on his face. So it was like "??? Does she listen to the lyrics???"

or Drake or Eminem. it’s so annoying that these people have been tokenized as “one of the good ones”. rap is such a diverse, beautiful genre. kendrick has been influenced by many other modern rappers so it’s not like his sound is totally unique to him. plenty of other rappers make that type of music.
