Miley Cyrus' NSFW Cover of Khia's 'My Neck, My Back': Is it Chill?

Pop superstar and Nashville native Miley Cyrus is on a veritable Internet rampage as of late. If you’ll recall, last week her Happy Hippie Backyard Series featured

with Joan Jett and members of Against Me!. Yesterday, the same series featured Cyrus and Ariana Grande clad in anthropomorphic onesies

in what is unarguably the most adorable duet this side of The Muppet Show.

Last night, a clip of another completely different kind of cover surfaced. This time sporting butterfly wings and sparkly pasites, the 22-year-old singer attempted to lead the crowd at Adult Swim’s Upfront Party Wednesday night in a rousing rendition of the 2002 Khia classic “My Neck, My Back.” The performance inspiring equal amounts of “hell yeah” and “hell no” from around the web. During the performance (above, via Revolt), Cyrus rebukes the crowd’s cell phone usage then asks: “Do you know how many times a day I turn on the radio and hear some guy telling me to suck his dick?” implicating her choice of material is an equal and opposite reaction to the ubiquitous misogyny in rap lyrics.

The performance got a thumb’s up from the Thug Misses herself, who spit a guest verse on a self-styled remix of Miley's "We Can't Stop" last year, and is quoted on TMZ today citing Cyrus as, "probably the only white girl on the planet that can twerk and talk about getting her pussy licked that it’s acceptable and it be true like my song." But not everyone has been so accepting. Folks have naturally condemned the clip as crass and needlessly vulgar, while others once again accuse her of appropriating urban culture.

So what say you, Creamers? No one seems to bat an eye when Lil Wayne effortlessly inserts his penis into a verse, as rappers demanding orgasms from women has essentially become an acceptable norm in hip-hop. Khia's original isn't the most subtle discussion of the subject, but can you name one that's more visible? Aside from using First Amendment-approved speech in a room full of adults who happen to be celebrating cartoons, does it offend you, yeah? How carefully should artists check their white privilege and where do we draw the line between borrowing (such as The Rolling Stones vs. the late B.B. King) and shameless appropriation, a la Native American headdresses at Coachella?
