(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."

Only because he rhymes with Hump.

Rappers have so much class.....

“And like Hillary Clinton, who has also been a go-to reference, Trump is inserted into lyrics to symbolize status, wealth and power.”

I’m no hip hop fan, but I would wage money that if Hillary is referenced, it isn’t to symbolize “status, wealth and power”, but something else entirely!

[skeeter]

Rappers like that sick pantsuit.

[Boogieman]

Pantsuit on the ground, pantsuit on the ground, looking like a fool with yo pantsuit on the ground!

[nickcarraway]

Trump basically is a rapper. He brags and boasts incessantly and he has many children by three different baby mamas.

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

Jealous much?

Best quote from article:

"We're certainly not low information voters. I'm actually a state representative [in New Hampshire] and we know what's going on," DeLemus said. "We're glad that Trump's got the money because he can't be bought."

[mkjessup]

“Yo, yo, yo...
“Da Hillary shot Vince at Ft Marcy Park,
“Bubba played with Monica, after dark,
“Hillary got her clock cleaned by Brother Obama,
“Don’t need dat b*tch wid her email drama,
“Chelsea tryin’ to stay outta trouble,
“But her mama did the wild thang wid Webster Hubbell,
“I need brain bleach after picturin’ dat,
“I feels sick visualizin’ them ‘RATS!

[Cicero]

Where would the left get their ideas from if the hip hop artists didn’t provide them with clues?

That works!

Rapper 'Ludacris'

Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":

"Hey... I'm back on it

like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here

The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal

Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him

With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him

Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers

Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer

Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President

Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant

Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!

If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut

And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man

Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man

You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history

The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be

The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes

Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified

McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed

Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps

Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant

And you the worst of all 43 Presidents

Get out and vote, or the end'll be near

And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here

YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here

The world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here

Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Hey!

[Joe 6-pack]

I thought, “Baby Got Back,” was about Hillary?

[Boogieman]

I been selling ICBMs to China,
Gingrich and da boyz just a bunch of whiners!
Hill found out about da blue dress stain,
tossed an ashtray at mah brain,
but I ain’t shook, she’ll stick around,
if she wants to be Senator from Big Apple town.
I can’t worry about that b****,
I gots to sell some pardons to Mark Rich!
