From this week in 2012, I'm choosing a song that peaked at #75 on the Hot 100 that month, and seems appropriate based on this week's events. In 2011, the subject of the song called the artist "the new Eminem" and that he was "very proud of him." In 2013, after the artist criticized the subject, the subject tweeted that the artist was an "ungrateful dog" and threatened to sue him. Here's "Donald Trump" by Mac Miller. WARNING: Lyrics NSFW.

^^ jlthorpe... I think some sort of "lyrics NSFW (not suitable for work)" type of post should have been included above . I just watched the video after volunteering at a church function for a few hours... it was a little jarring .

80sat40fan, sorry, I figured a hip-hop song had an implied "NSFW". I edited the post just in case.

^^ jlthorpe... you have been on a hot streak lately as I have really liked your last five posts. All of these songs should have done better on the charts than they did. Thanks for posting all of these!
