Despite bickering and controversial attachments from both sides, somehow the House of Representatives managed to move its budget bill to the Senate, coming in just a few hours before the deadline. The amount suggested for running government? $1.1 trillion.

That's a crazy amount of money. So many of us still dream of becoming millionaires. Hip-hop, as ever, tends to attract more ambitious individuals than us lot however. After Dr. Dre nearly reached his goal of becoming the first hip-hop billionaire thanks to Beats Audio being bought by Apple (he brought in $620 billion this year, according to Forbes), more in the scene are looking to add three more zeroes to their paychecks. Consider Rick Ross's Hood Billionaire as the most prominent example.

We're interested in those who take it up another notch however: Wannabe trillionaires. It'll be a long time before inflation gets so high that any human being reaches that tax bracket, but we'll salute those keeping it trill (which, incidentally, is not at all derived from "trillion").

"Trillionaire" by Bun B feat. T-Pain

Almost as a challenge to rappers such as Bun B, our computer doesn't even recognize "trillionaire" as a word. But, as the Texas emcee clarifies right out of the gate, he's a "self-made trillionaire" and he'll be damned if he won't make his own word up as well. He's hired T-Pain to handle the hooks for this 2010 single, and he's sipping fancy liquor and driving a drop-top Rolls-Royce thoughout the music video. In a somewhat cruel joke, the emcee wears a T-shirt that reads "Haiti" while singing about being a trillionaire. Too soon dude.


"Slumdog Trillionaire"

This isn't a song but a trend that's apparently been dominating hip-hop since the film Slumdog Millionaire thrilled audiences during 2008. For example, a recurring song title on Soundcloud and other unsigned showcases in "Slam Dog Trillionaire," and most seem to be intended for hip-hop use, or hip-hop remixes, and none borrow from each other except for the obvious similarity in titles. Twitter and Facebook are also host to a number of users under the alias of "Slumdog Trillionaire." Interestingly there seem to be a great deal more "Trillionaire" spinoffs than "Slumdog Billionaires."

"Trillion Girls" by Jr. Hi feat. Childish Gambino

At least some people in hip-hop realize that happiness is more than earning a trillion dollars...there are also trillions of women that come with it. While most rappers would be happy to have a trillion women at their disposal, Jr. Hi and his guest Childish Gambino know better: The headliner sees all trillion as uncomfortable reminders of the one he doesn't have, and "every one of them is just as crazy." Interesting to note, aside from our conversation on absurdly high numbers, that this is one of the more underrated Gambino verses on record.

"Million Trillion" by Chief Wakil

Perhaps Kansas City emcee Chief Wakil figured that simply stating "Million Trillion" was more effective in getting his message across than stating what one million trillions would add up to, which is of course a quintillion. Generally when someone says they're going to "put a couple million away for all the children," we consider them beyond gracious. However when you take the number of zeroes in a quintillionaire's bank account into consideration...a few million is somewhat pocket change.

"Thousand Million Billion Trillion Quadrillion Quintillion" by Stroke One

Stroke One is a mystery emcee. The alleged rapper only has one song, the aforementioned numerical nightmare, listed on Genius.com, and all that exists are two paragraphs supposedly adding up to a "first verse," which seems to suggest deeper meaning than just high numbers but we're also confused by its layout on the page. Based on the way the title starts at the smallest set of zeroes and keeps counting up, this seems like a much more ambitious take on Feist's "1, 2, 3, 4" concept.
