Rap-Up.com || Miley Cyrus: ‘I’ve Never Heard a Jay-Z Song’

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus, who name-checks Jay-Z in her hit “Party in the U.S.A.,” was asked what Jay-Z song she was referring to when she sings, “And the Jay-Z song was on.”

“Honestly, I picked that song ’cause I needed something to go with my clothing line,” the 16-year-old revealed. “I didn’t write it. I didn’t even expect it to be popular originally.”

Cyrus shocked the interviewer when she said she had never even heard a song by the rapper. “I’ve never heard a Jay-Z song. I don’t listen to pop music and it’s not even my style of music.” Say what?!

What does she mean she doesn’t listen to Pop music, when all she does is sing Pop songs? She’s dumb and highly overrated.

just cuz her songs happen to be POPular, doesn’t mean she listens to pop music. think about it before you start calling her names.

@KingMe, first of all it’s a free country. we can call her a dumb hillbilly if we want. if she doesn’t listen to pop music. then why she labeled michael jackson and madonna one of her musical influence? and jay-z isn’t pop, he’s hip-hop. this girl is clueless.

A satanist? Wow, okay.
It just seems like a dumb comment to make. So she doesn’t write her own songs, ok fine. But really she’s in music and she’s never heard a song by one of the biggest names in the industry? That’s just retarded and it’s probably a lie.

Jay-Z IS POP. His last hiphop album was “reasonable doubt”, after that he left the hiphop culture.

She’s dumb! I bet u she’s laughing at all those pop fans who downloaded ‘PITU’. This is not the first time I heard her say this. She said this on her twitter and in another interview. I wonder how Claude Kelly feels- he wrote the song….wait..he doesn’t care cuz he’s getting paid.

Miley irks me- something about her I don’t like

Jay-Z is so international. He promoted the blueprint 3 in whole Europe.
And the BP3 entered the charts with #15 in germany, #3 in UK, #5 France, #2 Czech Republic..so on and on.

Miley is such a cocky and fake person. Shame on you Miley!

All of you fucktards who are taking shots at Miley should look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you are failures, probably unemployed or flipping burgers somewhere, have no future, are ignorant, will make less money in their lifetimes than Miley makes in a week….need I go on!!!

Haha, u stupid fools. This is further proof jayz is in some satanist conspiracy. This dude with a few others are satans pawns and the industry have to show them love.

That is why jayz’s name gets mentioned in songs like even party in the usa so that way it gets more spins with the help of masons.

@OJcris44, Where does you religious belief lie? It kills me how the media portray our best African American artists in the negative light, but when looking at The Beatles, Madonna, Elvis Presley, they are still glorified as if there not human. Satanist Conspiracy? Are you serious? People are so damn naive and this is proving the point of ignorance that can be driven into the minds of idiots. People has uploaded videos on YouTube convinced people that Jay-Z created ‘the Roc’ sign to subliminally represent a group of people who once worshiped the devil. Where does your religious beliefs lie? Jay-Z has mentioned God throughout his music in a positive light. People also claimed Beyonce as a devil worshiper because she nicknamed her stage presence…but she has recorded Gospel music and tailed it on a Destiny’s Child record. She was also in the Fighting Temptations…What is a devil worshiper and tell me the practices that they use? You the one seems like a stupid fool…

Miley Cyrus has heard a Jay-Z song because it would be irrelevant to sing the lyric over and over again. She does listen to Pop music for the simple fact she creates “Pop” music. Hannah Montana is not a full out country character or singer so I’m a little confused…but the song still expose Jay-Z as a versatile artist.

I’m not defending Miley (she irritates me!) but why does she have to know who jay-z is???

jay-z is a crossover artist which means more people like his music n the fact that hip hop is very popular i.e.. lil wayne drake etc so hes not pop n if he is than so is other hip hop artist who r popular across the board….stop people negative light on African American Artist is getting old now…n miley well whatever she her i guess but it kinda odd when u she say i dont listen 2 pop music. what does she think she sing r&b?

She is a moron and she just called herself a hypocrite. What she is saying is that she will sing whatever is written for her and doesn’t even stand by her own lyrics.

hahahaa this is what i call a stupid girl.
what if you don’t have listened to any of jay-z songs?
first take a listen after sing about whatever you want.
being an entertainer means you know several things, if anybody ask you about your work, take a second to study about what you work on.
she could be compared to paris hilton on disney area… sad

@OJcris44 I agree with you so much on that!!!

And @ SwaggerAreUs You’re the fool! He right about the secret alliance! It couldn’t be anymore obvious. They are being exposed everyday! Even people/ARTIST in the industry know about and have spoken about it. And do your homework! Don’t bring that woes me black people mentality crap. There’s plenty of info on plenty of white, black etc artist that are all in alliance WITH Jay Z. I always knew something was weird about the industry, but not until recently I know now what it is. It’s actors, singers, writers, producers, film makers they’re everywhere. lol You might even be one of them.

And another thing there’s a difference between saying God and Jesus. People say God so they won’t “offend” anybody or just to SEEM religious, when they are really not. How often do you hear ANY celeb say that name. Open your eyes!!!

November 11th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Did you listen to her talk? She even sounds like b*tch. She is a pop artist, so how can she say she doesn’t listen to pop? I definitely see the genuine artist who puts her time and effort into her work. I mean she obviously knows what her lyrics are about. NOT.
