Miley Cyrus doesn't listen to hip hop anymore because it's "misogynistic"

It’s been nearly two years since Miley Cyrus released the free album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz on Soundcloud and three and a half years since her last major release Bangerz in 2013, and now it appears Miley is set to make her grand return. With a new single “Malibu” waiting to be unleashed next week, Miley opened up to Billboard for the cover story of their May 13 issue and her revealing interview may open some eyes, but it’s likely to cause some to roll as well.
Miley discussed her engagement with Liam Hemsworth, her reaction to Donald Trump, her quitting weed cold turkey, and her new “political album.” Miley seems enlightened, and every bit the 24-year-old woman growing into herself that she is, as her opinions are wide ranging and the political climate of the country clearly weighs on her.
It’s her discussion of hip-hop, however, that’s sure to make some eyes roll as Miley declares herself “out of the hip-hop scene,” though she admits she’s enjoying Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble.” Now, it should be mentioned that Miley is right: boastful jackassery and materialism is rampant in hip-hop. What will rankle some is that she has seemed to dip into the hip-hop world as it suits her in the past, especially on Bangerz when hip-hop producer Mike Will Made-It produced seven of the album’s 13 tracks. Miley has also been accused of exploiting black culture with her choice of all black dancers for her videos and tour. Miley tackled those allegations head on as well:

Damn.. I guess black cultural appropriation didn't sale enough albums for her...
-
That's why we have to be careful who we associate with.
-
Her first ? was a Minstrel Show
This is the most obvious pivot since Clinton Tough on Crime (aka black people) movement -
Got what she needed outta the culture then tossed it to the side. Got to stop allowing these folk to vulture, especially when it's obvious what their intentions are.

She lumpin rap all in 1 box. She prolly should give some different rappers a listen.
Meh. Its part of growing up tho. Most white kids go thru a hip hop phase. -
Wonder which one of these hip hop ? smutted her out.
-
Gotta get back in them good graces & sell herself as "reformed". The climate changed. These girls "needed" hip hop when the shock value was fresh.
-
Who didnt see this coming, i just hope Mike Will made a grip off her flat ass.
-
This...this is funny..I should up that multi plat thread where ? was thirsting over her and I said she was built like a lil boy and ? called me a ?
-
? her opinion. There's bad rap and good rap just like there's bad country and good country. If she saw the culture as anything more than an opportunity for an easy come up and a mere cash cow then she wouldn't hold that view.
