![]() ![]() The artist has around 250 monthly listeners on Spotify, which is around 79 million less than what Cyrus boasts on the streaming service. All of the grit and emotional indulgence, it seems, might have been saved for Down With Me, the 12-track album of songs featuring Cyrus’s vocals released on the same day under the pseudonym Clara Pierce. It wasn’t the devastating divorce album she was expected to release, with her ruminations on the dissolution of her relationship with Liam Hemsworth tucked in between sweaty dance records and self-love anthems. Or in this case, the shoe?Ĭyrus recently broke a Vevo record for most views in 24 hours with “Wrecking Ball” and she’s being featured in a rap video? Hmmm.On March 10, Miley Cyrus returned with her eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation. She’s going to back it up, because she doesn’t care. “I back it up cause I don’t give a f***”: And now, kids, a final word from Ms. Sex, drugs and rock and roll has become sex, drugs and shoes. Evidently, this song is about drugs and shoes. “Wolf Greys” are a type of Air Jordans and “Taylors” are Chuck Taylor shoes, associated with the Taylor Gang that Khalifah often references in his songs. “More kicks than the players”: Kicks are shoes, and Wiz Khalifah brags that he has 30 pairs of J’s. (Note: Cyrus is rocking a pair of bada** red heels at the beginning of this video, that don’t look like J’s). J’s are Air Jordan tennis shoes by Michael Jordan and having J’s on your feet means something to some people. “J’s on my feet”: No, J is not a foot fungus or a foot tattoo (Cyrus just got “Rolling” tattooed on one foot and “$tone” on the other, allegedly to celebrate her recent Rolling Stone cover). Cyrus is sucking down a smokey-treat in the beginning of this video, but later in the song the lyrics say, “All this purple in my cup,” so in this instance it may mean both. “I’m in the club high off purp” : “Purp,” in case you haven’t been high off of it lately, can mean two things: It is either cough syrup (really?) or a special brand of marijuana. Could Cyrus even name the starting lineup of the Chicago Bulls if she had to? A ratchet glossary In “23,” Cyrus seems to be at it again with the language she uses and dressing in a Chicago Bulls “uniform” (that even the cheerleaders would classify as skimpy) donning Michael Jordan’s #23. Dodai Stewart of summarizes Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” video this way - “A lesson from Miley Cyrus’ new video: If you want to look “cool” and “edgy” and “tough” just steal the styles and dance moves of black people.” Miley Cyrus cries foul on VMAs double standard > For example, Cyrus told Notion magazine, “People have this misconception of me that I’m just one of these kids on TV and that now I go off and party and I’m just this ratchet white girl, and I’m not.” (Did she say this while she was twerking with gold grills on her teeth?)Ĭyrus’ VMAs performance riled racial tensions because many felt that Cyrus continually borrows from the black community to the point of exploitation - at the VMAs she slapped a black woman’s butt and used black women as teddy bear props. It’s a trendy word that essentially means someone or something is a hot mess. This word is not in the lyrics of “23,” but I figured we’d kick off with this, since this term has become synonymous with Miley Cyrus.
