R.A. The Rugged Man Gets Explicit On New Miley Cyrus "Dooo It!" Remix
While she continues to receive nonstop criticism, controversial pop princess Miley Cyrus may have found an unlikely kindred spirit in underground rap legend R.A. The Rugged Man. “I heard people saying how gross and offensive the new Miley video was, so I had to check it out,” R.A. explains. “It reminded me of my dirty, crusty, degenerate days, back when I used to make songs about ripping cunts out with spoons. Plus it was the hardest beat. I was like, ‘Yo, I gotta slay this Miley Cyrus track!’ It didn’t even sound right coming out of my mouth, but I had to do it.”
The result is an X-rated lyrical slaughter in classic Rugged Man fashion. While Miley may be the latest musical artist to use sex and controversy to her advantage, R.A. The Rugged Man has been pissing people off with offensive material for over two decades. The original version of “Dooo It!” can be found on Miley Cyrus And Her Dead Petz.
