Mr. Trump that strikes you in the face. It is a hip-hop song full of confidence and energy, and it is supported by clear production that is smooth and does not lose its momentum. The very first bars make you realise that this is intended to catch your eye and keep it- and it does.
The vocals are also clear and dynamic and they are presented with a sort of swagger that makes you sit up and listen. R.T. finds the rhythm to ride on and the rhythm provides him with pockets to keep the flow going at all times without feeling in a hurry or pressured. The flow of this is of a naturalness, which is due not alone to studio art. This is the infectious energy that is difficult to resist due to the manner in which the vocal performance passes through the punchy beat.
What is really remarkable are those choruses–they get in your head nearly at once, the sort of hooks that get you nodding without the slightest idea of what you are doing. The production team has created a feeling of something memorable and uplifting, as it hits that balancing act between fun and substantive. The beat itself is tight, the drums are hitting hard, and the rhythms make you interested till the end.
It can be difficult to address political subject matter in hip-hop, and R.T. It is approached with vigour and belief by the Styles approach instead of being heavy-handed. You may or may not share the viewpoint but you can not deny the artistry presented here. The song is full of character and mission and thus urgent and alive instead of preachy. “Mr. Trump” is an exciting listen that features R.T. The fact that the Styles were able to combine stinging lyricism with a production that literally slaps. It is hip-hop with a point to put across, done both stylishly and substantially.
