Rappers are a particular bunch. Since the popularity of hip-hop has skyrocketed over the past few decades, so has rappers' star power. With the heightened fame -- plus the evolution of social media -- rappers, and hip-hop in general, have become integrated in pop culture like never before. It can be argued that hip-hop is the rock and roll of today's music scene. With the added exposure comes a much bigger platform for rappers to voice their opinions on a myriad of topics plus shout their disdain for any and everything. So basically rappers have a ton of chances to voice their displeasures.

Every human being can't like everything. Whether it's a task at their job or a mundane aspect of their life, there are things each and every person on this planet isn't too fond of. For rappers, there are a handful of things they dread. Many things have been well documented (taxes and baby mama drama) and there are others that aren't as common (touchy interviewers and fans jumping on stage).

If you search YouTube, there are tons of videos of Action Bronson throwing fans off stage after they interrupt his show. Wendy Williams has had more feuds with rappers than most MCs. Plus Donald Trump has become the mortal enemy of almost the entire hip-hop community.

XXL takes a look back over the years at all the things multiple rappers have hated on in one way or another. Check out 31 Things Rappers Hate below.

  • Fans That Jump Onstage

  • Touchy Interviewers

    When you're interviewing a rapper? Don't get too touchy with them.

  • Unwanted Kisses

    Rappers like their personal space. When it comes to unwanted kisses, that's a big no-no.

  • Taxes

    Every year, rappers seem to continually get in trouble for failing to pay their taxes. In the past year alone, seven rappers failed to pay Uncle Sam.

  • The Paparazzi

    The paparazzi have been enemy No. 1 when it comes to rappers since the dawn of time. Kanye West has had a longstanding feud with the paparazzi and Drake was recently accused of beating up a photographer when he came too close.

  • The Grammys

    The Grammys and rappers have had a rocky relationship. Some love it, but others say that The Grammys don't represent hip-hop culture to the fullest.

  • Wendy Williams

    The famed talk show host isn't afraid to voice her opinion on any matter and because of this, she has had a few feuds with artists like Method Man, Lil' Kim, Diddy, Master P and more.

  • Baby Mama Drama

    Baby mama drama and hip-hop are almost synonymous at this point. The difficulties of having a strong and lasting relationship with a significant other when you're a celebrity is tremendous. Those odds seem to drop significantly when you're a famous rapper. Now, more than ever, rappers are in a feud with their baby mamas.

     

  • The Police

    N.W.A isn't the only one who has a problem with the police. Hip-hop and cops have been on opposite sides for decades. Last month, the deaths of Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Philando Castile of Minnesota by police once again sparked outrage and pushed the Black Lives Matter movement into the forefront of media.

     

     

  • Donald Trump

    Donald Trump is the Republican presidential mominee for the 2016 election. Hip-hop, generally speaking, thinks he's the anti-christ.

  • Being Ambushed by Fans

    Never run up on a rapper unexpectedly. Two fans, apparently of the Drake kind, found out the hard way when they attempted to sneak up on Joe Budden in his whip to capture some footage for the Internet.

  • Prejudice

    Rappers already get a bad rap at times and the last thing they want is to experience prejudice. Killer Mike visited Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9 and spoke on the recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. He urged residents of the city, and others watching, to combat prejudice by spending and investing their money with businesses that vocally support them and their causes.

  • High Fashion Snobs

    High fashion and hip-hop don't seem to get along the way they should, especially when rappers rock big brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and the like more often than not. Kanye West has spoken about the numerous times high fashion brands didn't support him and Tyler, The Creator flat out said he hates everything about the fashion industry.

  • European Bacon

    If it's bacon, rappers want it one specific way: juicy, pork and American.

  • Pee on Toilet Seats

    Don't pee on the seat. Macklemore addressed the one epidemic that’s been infecting men across the globe for years: peeing on the toilet seat.

  • Hip-Hop Reality Television

    You'll rarely find a superstar on a hip-hop reality show. Rappers are just not fond of being in so much drama. R.A. The Rugged Man sounded off his disdain for hip-hop reality TV.

    “It’s like Hip Hop exploitations,” R.A. said. “Like ‘Aye look, somebody is acting like an asshole in Hip Hop. Ha ha ha’…Some of the guys is making their money and doing their thing, but like it’s a corporation taking the culture and making dudes look like on some buffoonery shit. People do what they gotta do, but it’s not—I don’t watch it. I don’t even watch cable. I try to stay away from that stuff, man. I try to stay away from the media networks.”

  • Interviews in General

    Rappers don't like doing interviews. Even when they do it, nine times out of 10, they are being forced to by either their manager or public relations representative because it's part of their job.

  • George W. Bush

    Lil Wayne, Eminem and Jadakiss made records about George W. Bush Jr. and after Hurricane Katrina, Kanye West believed the 43rd President of the U.S. just didn't care about Black people.

  • Delores Tucker

    Activist Delores Tucker fought against hip-hop for much of the latter half of her life because of its sexually explicit lyrics. She even sued Tupac for $10 million when the late MC rapped, "Delores Tucker, you's a motherfucker/Instead of trying to help a nigga you destroy a brother" on "How Do U Want It."

    Tupac wasn't the only one to name-drop Tucker. Jay Z, Lil Wayne, The Game, Lil' Kim, KRS-One and more have added Delores Tucker's name to their records.

  • Jerry Heller

    When you're blamed as the single reason behind N.W.A. -- hip-hop's greatest gangsta rap group -- breaking up, you're not going to be liked by a lot of people.

  • Ronald Reagan

    Why do rappers hate former President Ronald Reagan? He declared the war on drugs, which disproportionally targeted minorities and increased police brutality plus attacked decades of civil rights progress like affirmative action and social welfare programs. Some experts also argue that his Reaganomics destroyed the middle class, widening the gap from the rich and the poor. It is also rumored that he imported crack into the Black community. Not good.

  • Bill O'Reilly

    Political commentator Bill O'Reilly is one of the most hated men in hip-hop. The O'Reilly Factor host got Ludacris fired from representing Pepsi and recently said that slaves used to help build the White House were "well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government.”

  • White Rappers Saying the N-Word

    If you're a White rapper, don't say the n-word. Eminem caught heat when The Source unearthed old records of Slim Shady dropping the n-bomb when he was a teenager. Former White Girl Mob's V Nasty got in serious trouble when video of herself was posted showcasing her using the n-word pretty casually. However, unlike Eminem, Nasty defended her right to use the racial epithet. Don't ever play yourself.

  • KISS' Gene Simmons

    KISS' Gene Simmons, the legendary rock star who's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, hates rap. He's gone as far as to say he can't wait until rap dies. It's not surprising that MCs can't stand him.

  • Toyota Rav 4

    Toyota Rav 4 is probably the most hated car in hip-hop. In rapper's eyes, It's the symbol of mediocrity and ineptitude. Big K.R.I.T., The Game, Curren$y and so much more have turned their back on the car. Kanye West's line in his verse on “Run This Town” pretty much sums up the total viewpoint: “This the fast life, we are on a crash course/What you think I rap for, to push a fuckin’ Rav 4?”

  • Being Called Rappers

    For some odd reason, rappers hate being called rappers. Instead they'd rather be labeled as artists. Weird right?

  • Record Labels Messing With Release Dates

    The quickest way to make a rapper hate his record label is messing with the release date of their album. Rappers hate when they are told not to drop a song or project. They hate it even more when their album is pushed back. Just ask Lil Wayne.

  • Curry 2 Low Chef Curry

    Hip-hop, and everyone else on the Internet, went off when NBA MVP Stephen Curry unveiled his new Curry 2 Low Chef Curry sneaker. The onslaught was so bad that Steph was forced to address the incident.

  • Retiring

    How many rappers do you know that retired and never rapped again? There are only a handful and most of the time, they come back (look at Jay Z). Retiring is not in a rapper's vocabulary.

  • Each Other

    Rappers really don't like other rappers. Everything is fake.

  • Mentioning Names Without Permission

    If a rapper is going to mention a fellow artist by name in a song, it'd be in their best interest to get permission first. Recently, Trick Daddy sounded off about Nino Brown using his name in a freestyle over the Miami rhymer's 2004 track "Let Go." "Trick fuckin' around get stuck in the ground, you don’t know who you fuckin’ with,” Nino rhymes. Trick responded with a threat of his own: "Somebody let that fuck nigga Nino Brown know he can’t go nowhere in Dade County. Your bitch ass better move to Georgia or Mississippi somewhere. Let me catch you in front of my house doing a video, with all them prop guns.”

     

  • Smoke in the Face

    It's never polite to blow smoke in someone's face, especially when it's a rapper named Wale. While out in Los Angeles recently, the MMG rhymer got into it with a woman outside of Bootsy Bellows. From the video, it seems she's not too fond of the fact Wale came after. "Are you really following me?" she asks, while proceeding to blow cigarette smoke in his face. Wale's reaction? To knock what appears to be a tray out of her hands. A friend of the woman's jumps to the rescue while the MC's own pal tries to separate the two. Looks like this is certainly one thing the rapper hates.
