(CNN) —Billionaire real-estate mogul Donald Trump, who was known to Americans as a celebrity businessman for decades before his presidential run, has been named-dropped in hip-hop lyrics for decades. And like Hillary Clinton, who has also been a go-to reference, Trump is inserted into lyrics to symbolize status, wealth and power.

He is mentioned by rappers like Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I., Gucci Mane, Nelly, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Meek Mill, Big Sean, P Diddy, among others, and some have brought him up in more than one track.

Here are some examples:

"Richest n---- in my hood: call me Donald Trump/ The type that count my money while I smoke a blunt," from Young Jeezy's "Trump," featuring Birdman.

"Forbes list, Forbes/ Read it like the bible/ Up like Donald Trump" from hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd's "Up Like Trump."

"Used to want dough like Jay-Z but now I'm thinking Donald Trump" from rapper T.I.'s "I Need Dollas," and "Get money like Donald Trump" from rap icon Lil Wayne's "Racks on Racks."

most rappers wouldn't try to steal a house from a little old lady.

No matter what, I suspect that in 2016 we will see how devoted are the American people to all “persons” Clinton.
