When I called up Ali Breland at the Atlantic, I wanted to talk to him about this music video which popped up on the Internet in late March.
Ali Breland (1:15)
Everyone in the video, it's like a Lego kind of video, like Lego Batman, except LEGO Geopolitics.

The video starts with a LEGO Donald Trump holding dice. He rolls the dice and then suddenly LEGO Trump is on the deck of an aircraft carrier in storm tossed seas. Then we see fires, wreckage on the water, and a lot of military helmets. The video is from an account called Explosive Media that appears to be Iranian and the song is titled Loser.
Ali Breland (1:52)
The main chorus is L O S E R and it sort of is calling Trump. It's very directly calling Trump a loser. But then it's also making points about the war and like letting Iran kind of slide its propaganda in. And this sort of catchy musical kind of. I would maybe compare it. The rap style is a little bit different to Hamilton, but that's kind of like a version of what we're getting at here. It's maybe a little bit more like pop, rap infused. But they're making a diss track. They're speaking to Americans in the format that we're familiar with with Kendrick versus Drake and Drake versus Meek Mill. It's a very time honored American tradition.
