On Friday, amateur twerking enthusiast Miley Cyrus released her fourth album, Bangerz. Miley has described her latest work as something approaching "dirty South hip-hop" as the album is a significant departure from the squeaky-clean country pop of her previous efforts.

Over the last year, Miley seems to have grown a great appreciation for hip-hop or at least, it's affectations. Meanwhile, rappers have responded to the singer in kind as she has attempted to re-shape her image. Hip-hop artists such as Juicy J, Kanye West, French Montana, Wiz Khalifa and Mike Will Made It have collaborated with her while many rappers kept her name in their mouths as she has become a frequent topic for discussion in interviews while repeatedly showing up in rap lyrics and song titles. It seems as if Hannah Montana has become a veritable obsession for many rappers who have taken to the former Disney princess in ways that few former Disney princesses have been taken to before.

Whether you are actually listening to her music or not, XXL is looking back at all of the many, many quotes, lyrics and songs that Ms. Cyrus has inspired since becoming hip-hop's "It Girl" of the moment. Here are 30 times that rappers have name-dropped Miley Cyrus.

Quotes

1. "[Miley] was letting me hear her album, which is crazy, and we was going through a couple tracks to see which one I fit on. Then she played the 'FU' one and I fell in love with it.

She's a genius." - French Montana
