Like Nicki Minaj, information technology appears Jay-Z's digging whole Miley Cyrus twerking thing.
On new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, which dropped on July 4, the rapper pokes fun at the erstwhile Hannah Montana star's newfound twerking abilities on his rails, "Somewhere in America."
"When I was talking Instagram, Last matter you lot wanted was your picture snapped/Feds still lurking, They see I'm however putting piece of work in/Crusade somewhere in America, Miley Cyrus is withal twerkin', HA!" Jay-Z rhymes. "Twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, Twerk, Miley, Miley, twerk/Twerk, Twerk, Miley, Miley, Miley, twerk/Twerk, yes, ugh-huh, Twerk, Miley, Miley, Miley / Merely in America."
Call information technology a expert-natured payback for the shout-out Miley gave Hova in her 2009 hit when she crooned, "Besides much pressure and I'm nervous, That's when the taxi man turned on the radio/And the Jay-Z song was on/And the Jay-Z song was on/And the Jay-Z song was on."
Of form, Cyrus has been making headlines the last couple of months for twerking, starting with her unicorn onesie video, followed by her music video for "Nosotros Tin can't Terminate" and several live performances.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z'southward twelfth studio try is garnering mixed reactions from music critics for its emphasis on family, political and spiritual themes.
Hither's a quick roundup of some of MCHG's more than noteworthy reviews:
• "Equally an event, information technology'south adept, information technology's great, information technology'south disappointing and dorsum again. Every bit an album, though, it tends to be safe," writes Billboard before going on to compare it to Kanye West's new release Yeezus. "Jay's trying to be a lot of things to all people, as one does when as big as he is. And while it's unfair to measure out Jay against others, we're living in a earth where Yeezus has risen, and information technology feels similar Jay'south dipping a toe rather than fully diving in. When Kanye is heaving bombs from across the courtroom, you lot can't clap and then loud when Jay lobs lay-ups. That'south not to say it'south not proficient—it is—sometimes you just desire to see some sweat."
• "Jay-Z may have retired umpteen times already, but hither he whips up a helluva statement for his return: "I'one thousand still putting piece of work in / 'Cause somewhere in America, Miley Cyrus is still twerkin'. In the same fashion, Magna Carta Holy Grail makes its own example. It's cinematic and grand like a Gatsby reboot, and at-home and cool similar Kanye could never be, but it's also critical and contemplative. Oh, and confident," raves Spin.
• "Magna Carta Holy Grail certainly is shimmering, heavy and at times sonically stunning, and Jay-Z tin toss a brilliant metaphor like it'southward null. But a true masterpiece harnesses intellect and adventure to push forward not only musically but besides thematically," counters the Los Angeles Times on the other paw.
• "It all sounds neat, but subsequent listens uncover thoughtful commentary and societal ascertainment, lending to the album'south replay value," praises MTV, calculation, "If Magna Carta proves anything it's that no thing how futuristic your music distribution methods becomes, banging beats and option rhymes will ever remain timeless."
• "What's disappointing so, especially given the unprecedented nature of its release, is that it doesn't require closer listens or rewinds. In his attempts to spell out everything (see 'I had luggage, significant I had baggage,' in 'Heaven,' for instance) he fails to run into the standards he set long ago: 'You depict? Ameliorate be Picasso,'" laments a disappointed Idolator.
• "It seems geared to buttress Jay'due south avowal in the bonus runway 'Open Letter of the alphabet' that he'south 'the Bob Dylan of rap.' That may sound like a stretch—especially since not all the music on Magna Carta has the freshness of its poetry. Merely the fact that Jay has immune more vulnerability and rumination to residue out his standing wit and fun means he may exist well on his way to condign his genre'south respond to the great bard," opines the New York Daily News.
