Miley Cyrus, Music News

In a clip from an upcoming MTV documentary, Miley says  Robin Thicke planned to “make history” with their performance at the VMA’s, and  she defends her set by saying it no differnt then what Madonna and Britney have done in their  past shows.

I don’t pay attention to the negative because I’ve seen this play out so many times; how many times have we seen this play out in pop music? Madonna’s done it, Britney’s done it. Anyone that performs, that’s what you’re looking for, you’re wanting to make history. Me and Robin, the whole time, said, “you know we’re about to make history right now?” They’re over thinking it. You’re thinking about it more than I thought about it when I did it.

From The Mirror:

Former Disney star Miley Cyrus has sensationally spoken of her fears for her health, ­admitting: “I’m messed up.”

In her most honest interview ever, the 20-year-old who shot to worldwide fame as Hannah Montana , told the Sunday People : “I have so many f***ing issues.

“I am so f***ed up – everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up.

“I don’t have a normal life. I take a hiatus every now and again but I’m not good at that.”

Miley stunned millions of fans by wearing nothing but latex skin-coloured bra and pants when she sang at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards .

But Miley insists she never let herself become the goodie-two-shoes she played. She said: “During Hannah Montana I think people knew I was acting. I’ve never been able to hide anything, a bit like Justin Bieber.

“Others who have been on kids’ shows try to act like their characters – but I’m not like that.

“I never pretended I was as good as the Disney Channel writes.

“I don’t wear bright-coloured T-shirts and talk like this all the time.”

Miley went on: “You will be amazed at some of the notes I got.

“Parents wrote in with messages ­saying things like, ‘I can’t believe she spoke to her dad like that’ or ‘I can’t believe she wore that shirt’ or ‘I can’t believe the lead actress has boobs’. It’s crazy. But they can’t make ­people not grow up.”

“Miley Cyrus is the new Madonna,” Mike WiLL Made It proclaimed on the set of his new video, “23,” which also features the singer, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa.

The chart-topping producer truly believes in the former Disney star’s talent. While on set in Brooklyn, Mike gave VIBE his honest thoughts on Miley’s much-talked about MTV VMA performance.

“She did her thing… a lot of people are scared. She’s young, she’s 20, and she had fun. [Miley] turnt up,” he says. “When you’re on top, you’re going to get flack for anything. At least she went up there and had fun and did what she wanted to do. She went up there and did her vision. That’s what it’s really all about.”

After accompanying her to the awards show at the Barclays Center on Sunday night (Aug. 27), the two spent the next day on set at Brooklyn’s Bishop Ford High School to film their new video.

Mike WiLL Made It’s upcoming album, Est. In 1989 Pt. 3., is set to drop later this year.

No I.D. talks “Control,” Rick Rubin, Yeezus and more with Complex


Def Jam VP, and noted producer No I.D. talks with Complex about comparisons to Rick Rubin, “Control”, his place in hip-hop, Chicago music and more. Check out the interview here, with an excerpt below.

One of the big records you’ve had recently was Big Sean’s “Control.” What is the story behind that record?
I had a conversation with Sean towards the end of his album. I told him, I felt like he needed to do some straight, hardcore hip-hop records. Sometimes we focus so much on selling records that we leave some artistic points uncovered.

I had a conversation with Big Sean towards the end of his album. I told him, I felt like he needed to do some straight, hardcore hip-hop records. Sometimes we focus so much on selling records that we leave some artistic points uncovered.

I had this beat. I had actually done it for Jay, right before I let [Sean] hear it. I said, “You should take this beat, I think it would be great for you to show up on one of these beats, forget money, forget everything.”

For a while—I’d say, since Common’s “Ghetto Dreams”—I’ve been on a hip-hop crusade. To try and just bring that energy back that I felt was not present. I just wanted him to show up on one of those beats and then he did a freestyle to it.

He was like, “I’m gonna drop it as a freestyle.” I was like cool. Then he was like, “Yo, I’m gonna get Jay Electronica on it.” I was like, “Okay, cool.” Anyway, that’s where “No I.D. (Freestyle)” comes from, it was a No I.D. beat and he was freestyling. It didn’t have a chorus, it wasn’t intended to be a full song even.
