Peep This: Migos “Hannah Montana” Video

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rap group Migos burst onto the national scene with their hit single “Versace” when Drake remixed their track, and now their latest single “Hannah Montana” has been getting major airplay as well. The Atlanta rappers gave fans a new visual for the “Hannah Montana” track, which as you could imagine, features a significant amount of twerking. According to vibe.com:

“Less than a month after ‘Hannah Montana’ hit the internet, Cyrus debuted her new wild child persona, complete with rampant twerking and references to Molly, so the Migos song’s punchline (using an innocent young pop star’s name as drug slang) wasn’t quite so clever anymore. That’s reflected in the updated version of the song that appears in the official video, which somehow milks the Miley reference even more so than the original. Much to my dismay, this re-working lacks the spontaneous energy and natural flow of the original, which you can download for free as part of YRN. It feels like a cold cut-and-paste job, like they cranked out a novelty hit to cash in on a stupid trend when in actuality they wrote a genius slap-happy rap track.”

Migos are expected to drop a follow up album to their Young Rich N*ggas album, called YRN 2, in January. In the meantime, check out the Migos “Hannah Montana” video below.

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.
