Melania Trump, Young Thug and Other Swagger Jackers

Mrs. Trump joins the list of swagger jackers. Welcome her.

Allow her to reintroduce herself... - The not-so-elusive swagger jackers are a thing that many in hip-hop have had to deal with throughout history. As it turns out, First Lady Michelle Obama has a lot in common with many of the rappers and artists on this list you’re about to see — and she has Melania Trump to thank for that. If you haven’t already heard, last night at the Republican National Convention, Mrs. Trump totally swagger jacked much of our first lady’s speech from the 2008 Democratic National Convention and, well, the internet had a field day. So we decided to pay homage to some notorious swagger jackers. You’re in good company, Mrs. Trump. — Jon Reyes(Photos from Left: Spencer Platt/Getty Images, Paras Griffin/BET/Getty Images for BET) 
Guerilla Black / The Notorious B.I.G. - When Guerilla Black moved into the major label record deal era of his career in the mid ‘00s, the comparisons to Christopher Wallace were rampant — add the physical resemblance and forget it.(Photos from Left: James Devaney/WireImage, Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) 
Ja Rule / DMX - Raspy rapping singing voice swag? Jacked. Even though, when it comes to singing, Ja has it on lock.(Photos from Left: Jemal Countess/Getty Images for MTV, Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Bacardi) ItsRoutine / Drake - When Erykah Badu enlisted ItsRoutine for her 2015 mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone, the world got pretty confused because he totally sounded like Drake and his name is also Aubrey. Welp.(Photos from Left: Aubrey Davis via Twitter, Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
