10 ways Trump has been trolled by dance music

When Los Angeles hip hop innovator Snoop Dogg decided to lay down a verse on BadBadNotGood’s track ‘Lavendar’ it was a bit of a surprise to everyone. The original was released previously on the band’s album ‘IV’ in 2016, but Snoop had other plans when he heard it months later as he was going through beats. It was a politically charged time in early 2017, so as such Snoop’s remix blossomed into an anti-Trump, anti-authority anthem and the tracks video brought his vision to life.

In collaboration with Youtube star Jesse Wellens and music video director James DeFina, what would ensue would spark outrage from Donald Trump himself due to featured imagery, which included Trump as a clown, Snoop aiming a toy gun at the Trump clown and a Trump press conference where the President deported all dogs. This video and track may very well be the best Trump troll to date. One that will live on with esteem from the anti-Trump population.

We’re just going to leave this deadmau5 tweet here because it makes us chuckle. Leave it to the mau5trap label boss to share a quip like this. Trump’s immigration ban had many around the world outraged, but seeing as dance music artists likely travel the world more often than most, this sparked a discussion about how the ban could affect the industry. That said, deadmau5’s comment hit the right mark.

If Donald Trump’s team sends a cease and desist letter in response to a troll, it’s safe to say that troll has done its job. This is what took place after New York’s EDM savants FIGHT CLVB released the video for their track simply titled ‘Donald Trump’. Throughout the election process numerous artists produced parody tracks and videos, but how many of them received cease and desist letters is unknown. In the case with FIGHT CLVB, the duo decided to send their own letter back to Trump stating they had no intention of taking down the video or the track, citing their right to freedom of speech. Of course this could all have been a hoax, but the move stands as a memorable moment during the early days of Trump’s Presidency. Just watch the hilarious imagery in the music video above to see why.
