13	Rucka Rucka Ali (born January 27, 1987, real name unknown) is an Israeli-American singer-songwriter & radio personality (in)famous for his [[BlackComedy dark]], [[RefugeInAudacity offensive]] parodies of famous pop songs in which he pokes fun at ethnic, racial and religious stereotypes.
14
15	Rucka's music has led to recurring controversy, as well as Website/YouTube taking several of his songs down on the alleged grounds of hate speech (such as [[ChingChong "Ching Chang Chong"]], his parody of [[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas "Boom Boom Pow"]]), to which they're often re-uploaded by Rucka's fans (known as "[[FanCommunityNickname Nuckas]]").
16
17	Although his official site can easily be found [[http://ruckasworld.com/ here]], he seems to have no single consistent [=YouTube=] page, since the video removal has gotten to account suspension levels, which has also made [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rucka+Rucka+Ali searching the site for his name]] a '''much''' easier way to find any of his songs/videos.
18
19	Compare Music/JonLajoie, arguably his Canadian equivalent, and Music/WeirdAlYankovic who pre-dates Ali and also makes parodies of pop music. Not to be confused with WebVideo/RackaRacka.

32	----
33	!!Rucka Rucka Ali provides examples of:
34	* AdolfHitlarious: "Hitler's Suicide Note" is, as indicated by the title, all about taking the piss out of Hitler.
35	* AffectionateParody: His obscure "Ring a Ding Dong" track is this to old school rap songs about life in the ghetto.
36	* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Most songs featuring DJ Not Nice mention at least one Asian martial art, or some combination of multiple ("Tae Kung Fu").
37	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Rucka claims to be "kind of brown" (when he's not [[MultipleChoicePast proudly proclaiming that he's white]]), but that "[his] race is unknown".
38	* AmusementParkOfDoom: Kim Jong Un offhandedly claims to own a "theme park for torture" during his song before returning to his standard threats about bombing everything.
39	* AnimalWrongsGroup: "PETA" unsurprisingly.
40	* AppropriatedAppellation: In 2010, after a group of boys played "I'm a Korean" in their school, the principal was quoted on the BBC as saying the song was "probably racist". When it came time for Rucka to release his next album...
41	* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: DJ Not Nice is a very clear example of this, replacing almost every "l" in the songs with an "r" and speaking with fractured grammar.
42	* AutoTune: Shows up in almost all of his songs. Not because he can't sing, but to [[StylisticSuck better reflect]] the crappy pop he parodies.
43	* BadassBoast: "iWhack" ("[[Music/BrunoMars Grenade]]") is one long exaggerated over the top boast from [[EagleLand America]] to the terrorists that did 9/11.
44	* BasementDweller: "Mom's Basement Paradise" is a about a guy in his early fifties who is still living in his mother's basement, much to her annoyance and frustration.
45	-->Tell me why does he
46	-->still live with me?
47	-->I am ninety-two
48	-->and he's fifty-three!
49	* BestialityIsDepraved: One of his insults in "Eff Australia" is an implication that they all have sex with kangaroos.
50	** Also used in "iWhack."
51	-->"You got your [=AIDs=] from a gay donkey!"
52	* BlackComedy: Just about any and every touchy and dark subject imaginable is poked fun at and mocked at some point. You got songs about [[TheLongList murder, rape, racism, bigotry, torture, terrorism, pedophilia, domestic violence, drunk driving, sexism, drug abuse, poverty, stereotypes, greed, nazis, war, corruption, police brutality, child abuse, reckless endangerment, deadly diseases, dictators, suicide, nuclear war, religion, world leaders,]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking taquitos, bronies, emos, furries, fatness, politics, internet culture, celebrities, gross bodily functions and playing video games all day.]]
53	* CarFu: "We Drive Drunk!" ([[Music/{{Fun}} We Are Young]]) and "Aluwakbar" ([[Music/PostMalone Rockstar]]) are probably the two best examples.
54	* CardCarryingVillain: According to "Osama Bin Found", Al Qaeda literally gives its members discount cards. "I'm Osama" mentions that bin Laden attends a ''terrorist convention'' called Terrorcon.
55	* ChineseLaunderer: Taken up to eleven in "I'm a Korean": apparently all of Asia is a dry cleaning store. Virtually every DJ Not Nice song references this one, too.
56	* ChingChong: Has an entire song dedicated to this.
57	* ChristmasSongs: Two whole album's worth.
58	* CompensatingForSomething: In "My Name's Donnie Trump":
59	-->Creator/DonaldTrump: "When this world is mine, I'll build a wall in space and everyone will see that my penis is a pretty big cock"
60	** Kim Jong Un in his song.
61	** Minecraft Won't Add Inches To Your Cock (Mine It Up) uses this as its main joke.
62	** Unsurprisingly, this shows up again in "I Have a little Cock" as well.
63	-->I drive a really big car
64	-->To compensate for other things
65	-->I have a angry big dog
66	-->He's really loud and really mean
67	* CorruptPolitician: Rucka's two favorite political punching bags seem to be Obama and Trump, the two most recent presidents, but he's also taken a few shots at other prominent world leaders and politicians such as Bush and Hillary.
68	* CreatorProvincialism: Rucka makes a disproportionate number of Michigan and Detroit references. "I'm Obama" mentions that Obama receives "Bridge cards", referring specifically to the Michigan welfare system, even though Obama doesn't live in Michigan. Many of his songs mock Detroit itself for its infamous crime rates and weak economy, and Michigan for its large Arab/Muslim population.
69	* CurseCutShort:
70	** Though there's no shortage of completed curses, there's an example of this in "Go Cops":
71	--->"Hey come back here! I'm just hungry, I won't search you for no crack rocks, n-"
72	--->"[[AndThatsTerrible That's just awful.]]"
73	** In the "All Star" parody "Heroes & Trolls".
74	--->''And new media's just getting bigger''
75	--->''No one's getting shot if I say the word...'' ("Whoa, there!")
76	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: In "Hippies Always Smell":
77	-->"Get yer ass fucked in the booty"
78	** "I'm a Korean":
79	-->"And the dyke giving me my food looks like a lesbian"
80	* DirtyCop: "Like a Cop" manages to invoke a pretty dark example of this trope with just its opening lines:
81	-->I pull them over
82	-->Turn off the cameras
83	-->And I park
84	-->They'll find out
85	-->No one rapes like a cop
86	-->No one rapes like a cop
87	* DiscriminateAndSwitch: Almost every line of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exmTL9WNxtI I'm Racist (In No Way Whatsoever)]] is this
88	* DisorganizedOutlineSpeech: Rucka seems to forget exactly what he's trying to say halfway through this line from "I'm Obama":
89	-->"Happy Reverend Doctor Martin Luther Jr. King Boulevard Street."
90	* DisproportionateRetribution: Often used and exaggerated for comedic effect. Murica, for example has this line:
91	-->"You knock down a couple of our buildings we'll take a couple of your countries."
92	* DomesticAbuse: "Smack My Bitch."
93	* DrivenByEnvy: Many of his anti-Website/YouTube songs imply that this was the site's motivation for taking down his songs and suspending his account. From "Me No Rikey Website/YouTube":
94	-->"But then they was like 'Hold up, Rucka Ali!
95	-->We didn't mean for people to like you more than me!'"
96	* DrugsAreBad: "Rebecca's Black (High Day)" ([[Music/RebeccaBlack guess what it's a parody of]]) is a less serious and more humorous take on this trope than most other examples.
97	* DrunkDriver: Used in his "We Drive Drunk" ([[Music/{{Fun}} We Are Young]]) song, the official video of which is almost nothing but [[CrossesTheLineTwice high speed collisions often filmed in first person.]]
98	* EagleLand: "iWhack" which is type... well, guess.
99	* EmoTeen: Rucka ruthlessly mocks these guys in "Emo (Like A Nazi)" ("[[Music/LadyGaga Paparazzi]]").
100	* Ephebophile: The song "Only 17" [''Just a Dream''] is a story of Rucka making out with a hoe that looks legal and only to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin find out]] [[OhCrap that]] [[TitleDrop she was only 17]].
101	* EverythingIsRacist: The name of a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXRyhqynaa8 catchy little tune]] about how literally everything is racist:
102	-->Tres, dos, uno (huh?)
103	-->Have you heard the truth?
104	-->I'm trying to escape it
105	-->Everything's bad, cause everything's racist
106	-->Shirts, go fish, strawberry smoothies
107	-->All the [[Music/HootieAndTheBlowfish Blowfish, especially Hootie]]
108	-->Everything you say is insanely racist
109	-->Every singe day the racism's outrageous
110	-->You know who needs sensitivity training?
111	-->Every single name in the yellow pages
112	-->Cats, dogs, felines, bitches
113	-->Kool-Aid, Micheal Jackson, chicken
114	-->Chicken, chicken, chicken
115	%%* HollywoodAtlas & NationalStereotypes: '''Hoo, boy...'''
116	%%** AllJewsAreAshkenazi: ''Jew Boy'' [''[[Music/JayZ Empire State]] [[Music/AliciaKeys of Mind]]''], the debut of Seymour Schwartz, and ''Give a Jew Some Gold'' [''[[Music/SouljaBoy Kiss Me Tru the Phone]]''].
117	%%** DeepSouth: Toby Queef, who debuted in ''Hippies Always Smell Like Balls'' [''[[Music/BritneySpears 3]]''].
118	%%** GayParee: ''Fuck France'' [''[[Music/LadyGaga Just Dance]]''].
119	%%*** FrenchJerk: Inverted in ''Fuck France'' - Frederique Shampoo actually seems pretty [[NiceGuy friendly]].
120	%%** GloriousMotherRussia: [[{{Lzherusskie}} Boris Anatasha]], who debuted in ''Russia's Gay'' [''[[Music/JasonDerulo Whatcha Say]]''].
121	%%** InterchangeableAsianCultures: Basically anything that stars DJ Not Nice -- ''Ching Chang Chong'' [''[[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas Boom Boom Pow]]''], ''I'm Chinee'' [''[[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas Imma Be]]''], ''I'm a Korean'' [''[[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas I Gotta Feeling]]''], ''Me No Rikey [=YouTube=]'' [''[[Music/JaySean Down]]''], No More DJ Nice Guy [''[[Music/TaioCruz Break Your Heart]]''], Take Your Pants Off [''[[Music/FloRida Club Can't Handle]]''], ''[[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea Kim Jong Un]] [[TheSomethingSong Song]]'' [''[[Music/FloridaGeorgiaLine Cruise]]'']...
122	%%** LandDownUnder: ''Fuck Australia'' [''[[Music/WizKhalifa Black And Yellow]]''].
123	%%** UsefulNotes/NorthKoreansWithNodongs: ''I'm a Korean'', ''My Korea's Over'', and ''Kim Jong Un Song'' all focus largely on North Korea's plans to bomb various countries. Stock video from North Korean military events is used in many DJ Not Nice songs. Sometimes, he also uses [[UsefulNotes/ChineseWithChopperSupport People's Liberation Army]] marches when stereotyping North Koreans and Chinese as the same.
124	-->"I've got a missile now/I'm gonna blow you up, gonna blow you up!"
125	%%** {{Qurac}}: The implied setting of the events in ''Jihad Me'' [''[[Music/LadyGaga Poker Face]]''].
126	* InternetJerk: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4j84uIwTQ4 Heroes and Trolls]] (a parody of [[{{Music/SmashMouth}} All Star]] )
127	* JesusWasWayCool: ''Let's Go Jesus'' ([[Music/{{Kesha}} Blah Blah Blah]])
128	* JewishComplaining: Seymour Schwartz in many songs.
129	** Bernie Sanders in ''Feel the Bern (When You Pee)''.
130	* LighterAndSofter: Rucka's "Wierd Ali" spin-off, InTheStyleOf Music/WeirdAlYankovic.
131	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: In ''We're All Asian'' ([[Music/BrunoMars Just the Way You Are]]):
132	-->"You know [[Creator/{{Confucius}} Confucius say]], if the shoe fits,
133	-->Steal it from Payless and give it to your kids... for Christmas!"
134	* MultipleChoicePast: According to ''I'm Obama'' ([[Music/{{Macklemore}} Thrift Shop]]), Obama was simultaneously born in Pakistan, Chicago ([[BaitAndSwitch that's a village in Africa]]), and Taiwan.
135	** ''My Name's Obama'' ("[[Music/CarlyRaeJepsen Call MeMaybe]]") also mentions his birth in Dubai and Haiti.
136	** In ''I Know That You'll Miss Obama'' he says he was born in the Bahamas.
137	** Rucka himself enjoys changing his backstory as it suits him, although "officially" he is from Detroit.
138	-->"Am I black or from Iraq or Alaskan?
139	-->I think my race is unknown, so stop askin'!"
140	* NewAgeRetroHippie: Toby Queef's enemies, as depicted in "Hippies Always Smell" and alluded to in "iLost My Jobs".
141	* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: Several videos start with "This is JOKES NOT for kids" and "All celebrity/brand similarities are coincidental or parodic" on a black background.
142	* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Rucka's depiction of UsefulNotes/BarackObama is a clear fit for Presidents Action (he personally killed Osama bin Laden in [[BaitAndSwitch Pakistan, Ohio]]) and Minority, and also has elements of Jerkass and Buffoon (he admits to various crimes, both before and during his presidency, and is basically a big showcase for racial stereotypes). Rucka's version of UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush in "iWhack" can be classified as Buffoon, Lunatic, and possibly Evil with his plans for DisproportionateRetribution toward the Middle East.
143	** As of ''Obama Been Watchin''' [''[[Music/RobinThicke Blurred Lines]]''], Rucka's version of Obama has characteristics of scheming.
144	* OverreactingAirportSecurity: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywIO86E3Ajc Party In The TSA]] starts with airport security going after some normal middle eastern guys and just goes down hill from there. It also implies that airport security guards enjoy frisking people and confiscating their stuff.
145	* PoliceAreUseless: The premise of "Go, Cops" ("[[Music/{{Kesha}} TiK ToK]]").
146	** The police in "We Drive Drunk" pull over the protagonist, ask if he's got beer to spare, share a pint or two, then tell him to drive straight home.
147	* PoliceBrutality: Shows up a lot whenever the police are mentioned. "Go Cops" and "Not My Fault (That We Black)" are both good examples.
148	* PrisonRape: Comes up as a joke a few times in "Only 17" as a punishment for sleeping with an underage girl.
149	* SelfDeprecation: Some of his songs tend to make fun of Jews. In real life, Rucka Rucka Ali was born into an Orthodox Jewish family from Israel.
150	* StealthInsult: At the end of "Al Quaedirection" ([[Music/{{Kesha}} Die Young]]), Zayn says that he is now in paradise with Uncle Osama and 72 Directioners. [[spoiler:He just used "Directioners" in place of the word "virgins".]]
151	* Main/StockFootage: Rucka's music videos consists of stock images taken from the internet along with other stock footage from documentaries, movies and amateur videos.
152	* StrawFeminist "Fat Violent Dykes"
153	-->"There's some crazy lesbians!"
154	-->"Full of [=AIDs=] and PMS!"
155	-->"Bigger than hot air balloons!"
156	-->"Trying to tell me what to do!"
157	* StylisticSuck: Most of the videos for his songs are slideshows of images that have to do with the lyrics. That's not even getting into [[RefugeInAudacity the lyrics themselves...]]]
158	* TakeThat: Oh, so many. Examples include ''Fuck Kanye'' [''[[Music/JayZ Run This]] [[Music/{{Rihanna}} Town]]''] (against Music/KanyeWest), ''Justin's Beaver'', its sequel [''[[Music/BoBRapper Magic]]''], and ''Justin's Beaver TheMovie'' [''[[Music/{{Rihanna}} S&M]]''] (Music/JustinBieber), and ''Pligganease'' [''[[Music/{{Rihanna}} Umbrella]]''] (Music/ChrisBrown), ''Al Qaedirection'' [''[[Music/{{Kesha}} Die Young]]''] and ''Zayn Did 9/11'' [''[[Music/SelenaGomez Come & Get It]]''] (Music/OneDirection, specifically Zayn Malik), ''All About That Rape (Popsicles)'' [''[[Music/MeghanTrainor All About That Bass]]''] (Creator/BillCosby and his sex scandals) but the list keeps going...
159	** Music/MichaelJackson has ''Celebs Kill Yourself'' [''[[Music/LilTracy Beautiful Nightmare]]''] dedicated to himself, but is worth noting separately because Rucka routinely insults him in other songs, even if the insult usually amounts to a single line.
160	* TeenyWeenie: "I Have a Little Cock" is a cheerfully upbeat song about having a comically undersized penis. It's actually quite catchy.
161	-->I have a little cock
162	-->a cock, a cock
163	-->I have a little cock
164	-->Have a little cock, little cock
165	-->It's just a real small
166	-->Micro wee, little cock
167	-->a cock, a cock
168	-->My itty bitty little cock
169	-->Is just the right girth
170	-->To pick a double bolted lock
171	-->My itty bitty little cock
172	-->Is just the right length
173	-->To stick in a new baby sock
174	* ToiletHumor: "Crapping" is an upbeat sounding song about...well, it should be obvious from the title.
175	* TokenBlackFriend: Rucka has mentioned that "he knows him a black guy", and that "[=[=]Website/YouTube] just mad 'cause [he has] more black friends". "I Know a Black Guy" ("[[Music/NeYo Miss Independent]]") is all about this.
176	* UnusualEuphemism: He will occasionally use [[GratuitousNinja "ninja"]] in the place of "nigga" on account of the fact that [[NWordPrivileges he's white]]. In some songs, mostly but not exclusively from DJ Not Nice, he intentionally uses this for puns about ''actual'' ninjas.
177	* WomenDrivers: Briefly used in "Fat Violent Dykes."
178	-->"Why do bitches think they smart?"
179	-->"They can't even drive a car!"
180	-->"Ever seen one try to park?"
