Despite the lack of Miley, Wale’s new video still makes us clap… as in applaud.

When we first heard Wale‘s “Clappers” featuring Juicy J and Nicki Minaj in June, we immediately jumped to the conclusion that the song was about one thing, and one thing only: butts. Now that we’ve seen the video, however, we think we understand what the track’s truly about: still butts. C’mon, the refrain is “Shorty’s got a big ole butt, oh yeaaaaaaaah!” It’s not, like, a spoiler alert.

The clip accurately portrays that in-the-club wildness and the big fish (big butt?) tales you tell your boys the next day. One teensy tiny complaint though: Where’s Miley Cyrus?

Granted, maybe we’ve developed a slight Pavlovian response to anything butt, twerk, or booty-pop-related every since Miley’s VMA performance — but we can’t help it! Seriously, Wale, the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s totally down to do whatever it takes to make a lasting, “history-making” impression, but she won’t be available forever!

With a guest spot on Mike WiLL‘s “23” and that rumored Kanye West remix of “Black Skinhead” on the way, Miley’s probably gonna have to set up a dance card for her booty so that it doesn’t get all twerked out! Get in while the twerking’s good, Wale!
