"I feel the younger generation needs to hear positive powerful lyrics!"
Miley Cyrus had made comments about hip-hop in a Billboard magazine interview just recently.
Earlier this week she posted a statement after she received backlash for the comments.

In the interview, she said, "I also love that new Kendrick song (Humble). 'Show me something' natural like ass with some stretch marks'. I love that because it's not 'Come sit on my dick, suck on my cock. '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 cock.
I am so not that", she explained.

However, it appears that Miley praised Kendrick Lamar's work and on the other hand she criticized and dismissed the work of the other rap artists.
In responding to the criticism on her comments she wrote:
"When articles are read it isn't always considered that for hours
I've spoken with a journalist about my life, where my heart is, my perspective at that time, and the next step in my career.
Unfortunately, only a portion of the interview makes it print, & A lot of time publications like to focus on the most sensationalized part of the conversation. So to be clear I respect ALL artists who speak their truth and appreciate ALL genres of music (country, pop, alternative...but in this particular interview I was asked about rap).

I have always and will always continue to love and celebrate hip hop as I've collaborated with some of the very best! At this point in my life, I am expanding personally/musically and gravitating more towards uplifting, conscious rap!
As I get older I understand the effect music has in the world & seeing where we are today
I feel the younger generation needs to hear positive powerful lyrics! I am proud to be an artist without borders and thankful for the opportunity to explore so many different styles/sounds! I hope my words (sung or spoken) always encourage others to LOVE....Laugh....Live fully....to be there for one another....to unity, and to fight for what's right (human, animal or environmental)
Sending peace to all! Look forward to sharing my new tunes with you soon!-MC".
