I don't believe this although Jay-Z hasn't had as big songs as most of the other huge rappers. His biggest song is maybe Big Pimpin?

damn, daba got skooled. everyone knows that D.O.A. and Run This Town are way bigger songs than Big Pimpin,' the wave patterns of which i think are carved onto the inside of my skull.

:(

She said JayZ saved her life. Does that mean she never heard of a Radiohead song too? coz, she also said Radiohead was the reason she was into music. What did Jay Z do to you?

What about Izzo? If it's on my iTunes, it's pretty ubiquitous.

i like his rap songs

"Can I Get a...", "Can't Knock the Hustle", "N**** What, N**** Who", "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)", and, more recently, "Roc Boys" and "Brooklyn Go Hard" featuring Santigold. This is just counting the big radio hits.

In this context, it seems rather inconceivable that she never heard a Jay-Z song, considering she referenced him in her song (although she admitted to not writing it), but believe it or not, it's not hard to completely avoid Jay-z or any other artist in the mainstream if you don't listen to the stations that play Jay-Z and you're not into hip-hop or hang out with anyone who is. On another note, this interview pretty much reveals what we've suspected all along: Miley is a product of the Disney machine, nothing more. All she is is a cash cow, and will remain relevant only until her bosses find an even bigger cash cow to milk or her fanbase grows up and loses interest in her crappy music/TV show.
