Miley Cyrus In The Hot Seat After HipHop Comments
Miley Cyrus

Ever since Miley Cyrus' breakup with ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth, she has not been the same. During concerts, she wore close to no clothing. She danced with giant inflatables shaped like penises. She made drug references in her songs. She further broke down her feelings in her hit song "Wrecking Ball" while swinging from an actual wrecking ball naked. She later takes a hiatus from the spotlight and then decides to come back as an innocent country singing lamb. She is welcomed into the spotlight with open arms. This I can accept but her reasoning for her behavior in an interview is what made me sick. Here are her exact words.

"She did, and I grew up with her. 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 d-ck, suck on my c-ck.' 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 c-ck.' I am so not that."

According to this picture, yes she was that. Is she trying to blame hip-hop for her inappropriate actions? Hip-hop has been known to induce overly sexual behavior but behavior like this is extraordinary. Hip-hop culture did not force, nor influence you to suck an inflatable penis. She was the same person twerking on Robin Thicke. Blame the weed and alcohol but I and black Twitter will not let you try and blame hip-hop.

It's so confusing to me how quickly people embraced her and forgot how she used to dress. All they needed was something to blame her inappropriate behavior on and the arrow landed on black culture. I'm happy she is sober, but what part of her twelve-steps was there a step where she relinquishes responsibility for her actions? Every nasty thing she did on stage was the fault of Miley Cyrus.

This reminds me of the Britney Spears breakdown of 2007. She shaved her head and was mentally unstable for a while. What I like about Britney Spears' comeback to music was that she had some good songs to jump start her career again. Britney Spears also didn't blame the changes she was going through on anything else. At the end of the day you can leave hip-hop to make country music but don't act like hip-hop is this negative energy that forced you to act the way you did for all those years.

People are backing her up, giving her interviews and all this other positive crap because she has Billy Ray Cyrus backing her up. I see right through the act she is trying to pull and I guarantee she will step on country music to save her image soon enough.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
