Among the many hilarious, absurd things Donald Trump has said this week, one quote has stood out like a strippers convention at Chuck E. Cheese's: during an interview with Post editor Fred Dicker, he declared proudly, "I have always had a great relationship with the blacks." The Observer had the good sense to ask political guru/gay enthusiast Roger Stone what he could make of the quote; he replied, "Trivia question—how many hit rap songs mention Trump?" It sounded like a challenge to us, so we did some searching, and found at least 36 songs, most of them rap (and one country), which namedrop The Donald. Click through to see some of our favorites from artists such as Lil Wayne, Nas, and...Brad Paisley.
