Yes, my main argument with this is that it's too short. My favorite is Henry VIII and Rick Ross.

I love this. I always thought Big Boi's best hook was when Jbeatzz sampled Aida in "General Patton," (although that is 19th c). This Dizzee Rascal video plays off of both animated gifs and the flex of the sun king. That's still 17th c, but ostentatious shows of wealth and power are timeless.
