Could Hip-Hop & Music Culture Be Trump's Downfall?

As the campaign trail heats up, so does the worry that a man as nutty as Donald Trump could actually be our president. Trump's rise as the GOP front-runner is a scary look into the prejudice that still exist in our country. Even though I still refuse to believe Trump has much of chance come November, some of pop culture's biggest names aren't taking any chances. Recently celebrities and music artist have begun to speak out about Trump's "Hitleresque" political ideals with Hip-Hop leading the Anti-Trump movement. Pop Culture's assault on the Trump Campaign could prove costly for his Presidential hopes with the power of fame and social media. Here are some of the most recent celebrities to take aim at "The Donald." Y.G. & Nipsey Hussle

Nipsey Hussle and Bompton rapper YG most recently teamed up on a new song called "Fuck Donald Trump',a not so subtle attack on the GOP candidate. The song quickly starts off, opening with a sample of black students frustrated about being kicked out of a Trump rally in Georgia. The rappers start taking shots immediately: "I like white folks, but I don't like you / All the niggas in the hood wanna fight you." A couple weeks ago, the rappers attempted to film a video for the song in Los Angeles. But of course, the shoot was shut down by the cops. According to TMZ, the cops didn't know it was a video shoot and were responding to calls reporting the gathered crowds and roaming cars. On Instagram, YG had posted an open call for people to show up to the shoot. 100 people actually did, according to TMZ.

Public Enemy

Obviously, Public Enemy are not new to controversial political rhetoric ,and Chuck D has been saying “fuck Donald Trump” for years. But now, in the wake of Trump’s terrifying presidential push, his words hold more weight than ever before and Chuck knows it. During the legendary rap group’s performance at SXSW in March, he made his feelings clear by shouting “Black Lives Matter! Fuck Donald Trump!” into the mic while holding up his middle finger, as Billboard reports. “So far, the election is a bizarre show — I won’t make my decision until October, but seriously, the country is in turmoil,” he told Billboard before the concert.

T.I.P

T.I. did not hold his tongue in a recent message to Donald Trump. "I ain't going for it... Mr. Trump, if u beat me u won...but I WILL NOT BE FOOLED!!! I know u got plans for my people that are contrary to OUR BEST INTERESTS. Make no mistake... WE AINT ON THE SAME SIDE. Whatever U ARE,IM NOT!!!! Be CLEAR!!!! I have a family, I have children, I have ancestors that I WILL NOT LET DOWN. If me & mines ain't safe, if me & mines in danger.... Guess what??? It's gon take all my air to keep me from #Goin⬆️Heh... U Have No Idea. May God Be with U sir. Have a nice day Mr. Trump."

​​Mac Miller

Five years ago Mac Miller was referencing Donald Trump to explain how he planned to take our the world in one of the songs that helped push him to Hip-Hop fame. Now with Donald Trump's hateful campaign in overdrive, Mac Miller is making sure everybody knows where he stands when it comes to his political views. During an appearance on Larry Wilmore's Nightly Show on March 9th Miller stopped in to declare, "I fucking hate you, Donald Trump."You say you want to make America great again, but we all know what that means. Ban Muslims, Mexicans are rapists, Black lives don't matter. Make America great again? I think you want to make America white again, you racist son of a bitch."If we're stupid enough to elect you… I'm staying right here. Imma be here every day telling the world how much of a clown you are and how we as a nation are better than you will ever be as a racist fuckwad of a human. Because I love America and I'm never giving it up to a troll like you." Pretty tough talk coming from someone Trump once hailed as "the next Eminem."

With Hip-Hop now considered the most influential genre of this generation, Trump may have a problem that he can't get rid of. Trump just isnt cool anymore
