Jay-Z raps that he and Kanye West come "live from the Mercer" on Watch the Throne's "Otis", after the dynamic duo rented out an entire floor of the NYC hotel to record the album. West also lived there in 2011 while his apartment was getting renovated, and once took the entire staff to one of his concerts via Party Bus.

Grammy nominated up-and-comer Kendrick Lamar, recipient of the faux-humble Macklemore apology heard around the world, name-drops the Las Vegas Palms Casino Resort on Drake's "Buried Alive": "My vice is similar, women love when you're my type / And you're winning from everything that your palm write / Put her in the Palms Hotel, sin city / Devil in a dress, Platinum Chanel."

On 2006's "Anything," Jay-Z reports that an unidentified woman turned his "Maybach back seat / Into the Hotel De'Paris," which would be quite the transformation for one of the discontinued rapper-adored luxury cars, considering the Monaco hotel dates back to 1863.

Ever tortured by fame, Drake raps on Young Money's "Bedrock" that he's "at the W, but I can't meet you in the lobby," following that up with "Girl, I gotta watch my back, cause I'm not just anybody." The W New York would be a bit of a step down from Drake's "Yolo Estate," lacking as it does a huge illuminated swimming pool with a manmade grotto.

William Leonard Roberts II, otherwise known as Rick Ross, talks about being "at the Eden Rock in the pool with a dame" on P.O.D.'s "Something's Going On." These days, Ross can spend all the time he wants at the probably lavish pool that came with Evander Holyfield's former 54,000-square-foot Fayetteville mansion, which Ross recently purchased, but one of Miami's architectural gems is also a great place for a soak.

On St. Louis rapper Chingy's "Holidae In," he and Snoop Dogg answer a call of "Whachu doing" with "Nothing chilling at the Holiday Inn," following that up with a request to "bring 4 of your friends." While it's unclear which Holiday Inn Chingy refers to, we'll hazard a guess that it's in his hometown.

On "Window Shopper," one of 50 Cent's many extended-metaphor sex anthems, he relates the story of telling some fresh young thing to "Meet me at the Mondrian so we can do our thang.' / She can bring the lingerie with her, I sup-pose." A prudent call, because unlike the Vegas Hard Rock, LA's Mondrian does not have an in-house lingerie shop with a room service hotline.

Eminem's reference to one of LA's classic hotels comes on "California," off the 8 Mile soundtrack, where he raps about "Beverly shoppin’, Beverly men pickin’ / Beverly hotel, Beverly sweet pimpin.'" No word on whether Mathers is a fan of Martinique "A" Wallpaper BH90210, the ever-popular banana leaf print that made its first appearance at the Beverly Hills.

According to Game on "Jesus Piece," "God says everything happens for a reason, / I seen four seasons at The Four Seasons." His reference to the high-end hotel chain could also allude to the time he was arrested at Greensboro, N.C.'s Four Seasons Mall for disorderly conduct.

Rapper and producer Sudan Ahmeer Williams, better known by him stage name Iamsu!, name-drops the Fontainebleau hotel in "Only That Real," saying "Fontainebleau MIA / You can hang with us baby but you cannot stay." Rich Homie Quan and Camp Lo also profess love for the Miami hotspot on tracks of their own.

"I'm at the Trump International, ask for me I ain't never scared," grandstands Jay Z on "What More Can I Say." If he's ever stayed there, it was probably after he let go of the Brooklyn "stash spot" he references in "Empire State of Mind," which recently sold for $870K.
