Īs the song garnered more plays, Trump took a more aggressive tone and demanded royalties for using his name, thereby starting a feud with Miller. But the "Donald Trump" song just hit over 20 million, that's not so bad. Probably, it's not the cleanest language you've ever heard.

Now, it's named "Donald Trump." Maybe you should pay me a lot of money, but it just did over 20 million people, tuning into Mac Miller. When Mac Miller's 2011 song " Donald Trump" became a Billboard hit, Trump released a YouTube video congratulating the rapper:Ī lot of people are calling me about the Mac Miller rap song. Other major Trump name-checkers include Migos (six songs between 20), Young Thug (six songs between 20), Lil Wayne (five songs between 20) and Raekwon (five songs between 19). Pre-presidency, Rick Ross had the most Trump mentions (nine songs between 20) with Nas running second (seven songs between 19). Many artists have name-checked Trump in more than one song. Because of hip hop's close association with minority communities and its reinvigorated politicization with the Black Lives Matter movement, lyrical depictions of Trump rapidly grew to be more disparaging throughout his campaign and subsequent election as President of the United States. The 2010s marked a left-leaning political shift in musicians' attitude toward Trump as his presence in the public eye changed from that of a business tycoon to a politician, particularly one known for making controversial statements. ĮSPN's political site FiveThirtyEight documented that between 19, 19% of song lyrics about Trump were negative while 60% were positive. Among the earliest of these was The Coup from Oakland, California, who critiqued and mocked Trump on their first two albums released in the early 1990s. While many rappers early to this trend praised Trump's wealth, often as a means to compare their own financial aspirations or success to that of the billionaire businessman, others used their music as a platform to criticize Trump's practices and politics. Among the earliest mentions of Trump in rap lyrics was the Beastie Boys' track "Johnny Ryall" on the 1989 Paul's Boutique album, in which they contrast Donald Trump with his homeless alter-ego, Donald Tramp.
Trump's name first appeared in hip hop lyrics during the 1980s when the business mogul became an icon of the ultra rich.
