* SerialKiller: "Trauma" is written from the point-of-view of a serial killer, [[CardCarryingVillain boasting about how evil he is]] and that he's more deranged than "Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson combined".

** Has made several to ''Music/{{The Doors}}'', of whom he is a fan. He even named his label ''Strange Music'' as a reference to them.

* TakeThat: "The Industry Is Punks" from ''Absolute Power'', is one to the entire industry, as well as "F.T.I." from ''Anghellic: Reparation''. "Going Bad" is also one of these mostly to Warner Bros/Warner Music Group and Qwest Records, well at least the third verse.

* AwesomeEgo: This isn't an uncommon trope for rappers to work into their personas by any means, but "He's a Mental Giant" particularly spotlights it.
