Hip Hop Trolls are a minority group among the Trolls and a recent emergence among the Tribes. They are never considered a hinterland Troll and are not fully explained. Since the genre is relatively new to Troll Kingdom, it appears to not have any depth to it and is still part of Funk Trolls having yet to break away.
History[]
Hip Hop is one of the most recent Tribes to appear in Troll Kingdom, coming from the Funk Trolls and starting out from Prince D remixing the music of his parents (Queen Essence and King Quincy). As such, Prince D becomes the first Hip Hop Troll and founder of a new genre of music. When she visits Vibe City in Trolls World Tour, Poppy has issues understanding what "Hip hop" is when Prince D speaks about it as it wasn't on her map, despite Branch noting Disco was present.
Influences[]
Hip hop is a music genre that uses a rapping style of singing and breakdancing. It was developed by African-Americans in New York City during the 1970s, and is now practiced worldwide.

Trivia[]
- In trailers, Tiny Diamond as listed as a Hip Hop Troll, but in the movie and other media, he is not. Since the trailers have lines that do not appear in the movie or lines that are spoken out of their original origin, it's possible that Tiny was never meant to be labelled a Hip Hop Troll and this ended up being a mislabelling. Every other piece of media lists him as a "Rapper Troll", a "rapping Troll" or a "Pop Troll".
- In addition, in Trolls World Tour, when Cooper states he is half-Pop (due to his up bringing), Prince D suggests he may be like himself and instead be half-Hip Hop. This means the Trolls may have more members than what is established, but there's some vagueness as to who is and who isn't a Hip hop Troll.
