23 (Explicit) - Mike Will Made-It ft. Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa & Juicy J [Official Music Video]


Mike Will Made - It's new music video for his track '23' features excessive amounts of jordan's (trainers/sneakers), more Dr Dre Beats (by this point, Miley Cyrus may as well be the poster girl) and a set which looks like it's straight out of High School Musical. Follow so far? Joining Mike for his video (incase you hadn't already guessed) is the highly publicised Miley Cyrus, who has a go at rapping for the track, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J.


No doubt many will focus on Cyrus in the new video as she struts her stuff in a variety of basketball-themed outfits: mini-skirts, crop tops, jackets - the lot. I'm not quite sure entirely what to make of the video, but I don't think it would be out of place to say Cyrus probably makes the track (which would be missing vital female vocals to add to the chorus) and no doubt will garner more than enough attention for the video on Mike's behalf. 




The video itself opens in a headteacher/principal's office which Mike soon invades with his beats by Dr Dre and livens up the whole school who perform a dance number in the gym. Cyrus can be seen in red stilettos, smoking and writing '#23' on a bathroom wall in red lipstick; positioning herself on a window ledge, she rocks out to the beat and raps her way through her first verses. The video features (naturally) a lot of tongue sticking out but surprisingly no twerking from Cyrus in particular, although she does managed to clamber a way up to perch herself on the ring of a basketball hoop. 



Oh and as previously mentioned, there's a whole lot of close up shots of jordan's. So many. The whole thing could easily be converted into a trainer/sneaker ad, but I digress. The video also features a pretty out-of-it Wiz Khalifa who rather unsurprisingly pops up in a chemistry lab with an array of liquids and concotions whilst psychedlic effects overplay and he raps about drugs and trainers. Miley's foam finger also makes an appearance along with Juicy J and the rest of the gang who jump about enthusiastically in the school's gymnasium post-party.


Once again Cyrus appears, perched on her hoop with a bejewelled and sparkling basketball to match her outfit. So, what did you make of the video? Did you enjoy Cyrus' rapping and Khalifa's segment? What did you like/loath about the video or track?
