YG’s single “Fuck Donald Trump” will be remembered for a myriad of reasons. It showed the world that the “Bompton” rapper could evolve beyond his hardened gangsta persona and expand his raps into a political perspective. It also showed that Hip Hop music can still possess the unabashed revolutionary attitude that Public Enemy and N.W.A carried in the past, while still being catchy enough to move across the new generation’s timelines.
As visible as the record has been since its March 2016 release, like Hillary Clinton’s campaign, it wasn’t enough to keep the now President-elect Trump away from the Oval Office. Was it a failure on the young people’s part who sang along to the controversially catchy tune but who didn’t vote?
Nipsey Hussle, who recently released a new project in Famous Lies & Unpopular Truths, doesn’t think so. As the original song’s co-collaborator (the remix featured G-Eazy and Macklemore to prove the message was far from a racial divide) he tells HipHopDX that the strides made on their part are strong enough for him to rest easy.
“Well you know, Trump lost the popular vote so the people did what they’re supposed to do,” Nipsey says, while premiering his new Karl Kani limited edition tees at the Dom Shop in L.A. “We can’t control that Electoral College thing, that’s beyond our control. But we put a message out, YG put a message out and I think that’s what we’re supposed to do.”
“FDT”: “Hold up, I fuck with Mexicans, got a plug with Mexicans/When the low -low need a switch, who I call? A Mexican,” Nipsey raps on the record.
Despite his preferred candidate losing the election, Hussle, 31, still experienced a sort of communal win as he maneuvered around his L.A. hometown. Nipsey noticed his other brown neighbors were going out of their way to show solidarity whenever they saw him. It was the “FDT” record.
“One thing we didn’t like about Trump’s message was it was separative and it drew a lot of lines and divided a lot of people. And we wanted to bring people back together with that message,” he explained. “It’s about Blacks, Hispanics and Mexicans in L.A. and through politics, they were both being disrespected by Trump and we all had a common enemy in that. That’s why we spoke on it.”
The song was originally featured as a non-charting single on YG’s sophomore album, Still Brazy.
Fuck nipsey hustle and YG
Nah, Fucc you……..
u wouldn’t say that to either one of their faces you internet loser
Their both garbage
Theses 2 worthless scumbags can’t make one platinum album
Who gives a fuck about platinum in 2016. They still getting money. Most of the platinum artists you know got fucked by shitty record deals. You really are a dumbfuck aren’t you. Fuck Donald Trump And everybody that loves him.
First off its “They’re both garbage” Second what does going platinum have to do with anything when platinum artists make 35 cents an album and they’re owned by a label…Nipsey is fully independent and owns every aspect of the music he releases…Third music is a full expression of our right as citizens to freedom of speech have you listened to the nonsense Ted Nugent sings about? I wouldn’t expect a jean short rocking inbred redneck like yourself to understand most of this so when Donald Trump bans abortion you better pray to your lord and savior you don’t get your sister pregnant
i wouldnt say 35 cents an album…i can tell you arent in the industry…artist deals are structured differently depending on the situation. and lets not forget, deals are negotiated and are different for each artist…you smart dummy
Both of YG albums are fucking garbage
So it’s ok for 2 black rappers to make a song about killing the president but if a white rapper did a song about killing obama the white rapper would be considered a racist
oh yeah so political, “fuck this nigga i hate him” he might as well be abraham lincoln
You do know how to read…right? “One thing we didn’t like about Trump’s message was it was separative and it drew a lot of lines and divided a lot of people. And we wanted to bring people back together with that message,” he explained. “It’s about Blacks, Hispanics and Mexicans in L.A. and through politics, they were both being disrespected by Trump and we all had a common enemy in that. That’s why we spoke on it.”
….EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE WHITE MAN…..

Hey Nipsey, how’s that album going?
i been chillin..getting sucked off by lauren london and counting all this money…hows that promotion from assistant bagger to bagging clerk at walmart going??
An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said “I am LeBron James, the best NBA basketball player. The Cavs and my millions of fans need me, and I can’t afford to die.” So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, “I am the newly-elected US President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don’t want me to die.” He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, “My son, I am old and don’t have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.” The little boy said, “That’s okay, Your Holiness, there’s a parachute left for you. America ‘s smartest President took my schoolbag.”
my god what a shit punchline
Andy don’t like YG cause he rather listen to drake because he gets a woody for DRAKE.
dudes too stupid to realize he still lost
The Electoral College needs a good lynching. We don’t need them and their self serving agenda because shits ran this way you only need to bribe them to take the seat but look at how many people voted for TRUMP DUMP we still need something to regulate ‘ll the dumb ass niggas.
But….but…half the Country felt devided because of what Obama has done the last 8 years. One of the worst Presidents right there. He had opportunities to shut down the “What do we want, Dead Cops!…” and say enough is enough. Him AND the Media is what divided this Country. Trump is trying to fix that, and get the Country back to how it should be. People think its all gunna be filled with Racism and hate. The People protesting right now IS EXACTLY THAT…They ARE exactly what they are protesting against. Blame Obama and the media.
you contradicted yourself…you must be an intern at Fox News or something…Kramer fits you perfect for that nonsense you just typed
I’m glad I can finally openly just express the hate I feel. Trump has allowed me that, I hate him. Not because of the “media,” but because of everything he has said.
I won’t hate in silence. I’m not alone.
Needed message
