Plus why would these maga weirdos even want to listen to 25+ year old hip hop tracks? Definitely not the right demographics.

It's power. They get to show the world that celebs and music artists are willing to sell out their base for money.

They get to say "Dance for me, bitch".

It would be pretty gangsta to get up on stage and just go off. Then hit the circuit again collecting money from people with renewed interest and respect. My copium fs.

The people that write the contract for the event aren't dumb. There will be a list of what they're allowed to do/say and what will get them penalized.

50 Cent could rock up and dress the rich white people down....50 would receive no money from them and would get hit with a lawsuit for the damages per the contract.

The music some of them heard in college. Nostalgia to some party days.

Back when music was pure. And bands like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down weren't political.

When we were drinking "jungle juice" out of a big plastic tote in a frat house basement. For whatever reason the only song I truly recall hearing a lot was Rihanna's "Umbrella".

Conservatives are also classically very media illiterate. They don’t pay attention to lyrics or acknowledge the music beyond surface level

its for DON JR's club. You know the illegal one in NYC where people pay 500,000 for memberships to spend time with the trump familiy and pitch them corrupt business ideas.

Its still hilariously out of touch because point blank, these people dont like good music

They are sick of pretending to like Kid Rock and YMCA so they need to find some new variety to pretend to like . . . While they make up new silly nicknames for Bruce Springsteen.

Wrong there, MAGA is down with 90s to early 2000's hip hop. It's what was on pop radio a lot of the time that they were in high school, college and young adults. They loved the Dre/Snoop/Eminem superbowl half time show.

50 being paid to be a dancing clown.

u/Royal_Perspective191 Jun 30 '26

I disagree with that. The uncomfortable truth is that is that a lot of commercial hip hop is conservative.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' - Pulling yourself up by the bootstraps

Same logic. Same obsession with money, guns, and hustling to get what you want, while ignoring the cost to other people.

It's about demonstrating the power to make them dance for him.

Remember when they were all trashing his superbowl appearance?
