Getting Schooled: Mike Will Made It, Miley Cyrus, Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa ’23’ Video

Miley Cyrus is far from being the high school teenager, Hannah Montana, she played on TV. Now Cyrus is an embodiment of rebellion most 20- year-olds embrace. Miley joins Juicy J and Wiz Khalifa to show that spirit of rebellion for Mike Will Made It’s ‘23‘ video. According to billboard.com:

“Mike Will Made It has produced massive hits for Miley Cyrus (‘We Can’t Stop’) and Juicy J (‘Bandz A Make Her Dance’). How did those artists repay the hip-hop maestro? By going back to high school, of course, and bringing Wiz Khalifa along for the ride! In Mike Will’s new video for his single ‘23,’ the producer steps in front of the ‘featuring’ tag, and also, into the principal’s office to wreak some havoc. Miley raps and, naturally, sticks out her tongue.

“Wearing the remnants of a Michael Jordan ’23’ Bulls jersey and shorts, Cyrus takes over the girls’ bathroom in a high school and gets relatively turnt while Mike Will presides over the principal’s desk. Later, Juicy J delivers body-blow rhymes in the gymnasium during a wild pep rally, and in the funniest sequence in the video, that rascal Khalifa mixes some curious elements in the chemistry lab.”

Although most the attention from this video will focus on Miley Cyrus, ’23’ is actually a single from Mike Will’s upcoming album “Est. in 1989 Pt. 3.” However, Mike Will probably doesn’t mind that Miley is the one bringing attention to the song, he probably even planned in that way.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
