YG serves as one of a seemingly infinite number of rappers who have taken an anti-Donald Trump stance in the current presidential election.
While speaking with i-D, the Los Angeles lyricist spoke on why he became anti-Trump in a state that has historically voted Democratic in the presidential election. As a rapper, YG revealed that he can either say something or stand for nothing, and added that being null was not an option he was willing to take.
“Yeah, it’s like, wake up, America,” YG said. “Motherfuckers are talking about drugs and parties and guns and shit. But they gotta know there’s more shit going on. We gotta say something, cause if not, it’s like we’re out here standing for nothing, like we ain’t got no morals. That ain’t what it is. That ain’t me. So I decided to speak up.”
YG put his distaste for Trump on wax with the records “Fuck Donald Trump (FDT)” and “FDT Part 2.” For the sequel to his first record, he recruited two white rappers, Macklemore and G-Eazy.
In regards to adding “two of the biggest white rap dudes in the game” to an anti-Trump track, he says that it added even more potency to the record.
“They’re the two biggest white rappers in the game! I’m like, if I get two of the biggest white rap dudes in the game on this ‘Fuck Donald Trump’ record, that shit is gonna mean something,” he said. “Before Macklemore was on ‘Part 2’ he said like, ‘Good shit bro, that shit was needed,’ about the first song. So I was like, ‘Bro, you support Trump?’ and he was like ‘Fuck no!’ I’m like, ‘Well look, I’m doing this remix and I want you to hop on it. It’s actually with G-Eazy.’ And he was like, ‘I got you, send that shit.’ That’s just the rap community. Everybody know that’s where this rap shit started from: talking about problems and what’s going on in inner city communities.”
YG later revealed that a follow up record to “Fuck Donald Trump (FDT)” and “FDT Part 2,” “could happen.”
So YG is a white rapper now, I didn’t know he had his race changed and featured himself on his own song.
“For the sequel to his first record, he recruited two white rappers, Macklemore and YG.”
If rappers call women the b word and hoes why are they voting for Hillary. Donald Trump does and these studio gangsters get soft.

LOLOLOL
Fuck u YG and your racist song
Everybody wanna say fucc’ Donald Trump, but when it comes down to the root of why they hate him it’s due to their lack of knowledge of what Trump really stands for. The news on every channel said he is “Racist” and cut and clipped footage of him portraying him as such, when really he is not RACIST and in fact they should consider the sources of where they get their info before spouting off summ ignant Schaytt!!
You on point cuz. No substitute for truth and knowledge. I’ve been watching the conventions and all hear is lies and public deception on the Dem side. Fucc treason. If they don’t like our Constitution I say they should get the fucc out. They brought the UN in to take our guns and freedom. Let’s send them pacc’n too.
You’re right he’s not a racist he just supports the KKK. Wouldn’t disavow David duke a KKK leader he used a Star of David over a picture of money to call Hilary crooked which was from a white supremacist website. he reposted a picture from a white supremacist page about black on black violence to make it seem like police shootings aren’t a problem. The dudes a racist.
“he recruited two white rappers, Macklemore and YG” bruh
AMERICA WAKE UP DIDNT YALL LEARN YALL LESSON FROM BUSH WHITE FOLKS YALL FALLING FOR THE WHITE NIGGA TRAP AGAIN, IDIOTS.
Yep the white man is the one thats gonna fuck up the planet they think they know everything always goin outta space fucking wit shit yall fuckin up the enviornment,and by the way its2016 niggas is not just a black thing, were all niggas lmao
Why does he need white rappers to validate his song or make it more powerful. Between him and Hillary Donald trump is the best choice. Black people vote based off of personality not policy. Immigration has always been harmful to Blacks in this country but no one wants to look at the facts. This is a competitive society based on groups. Black people own less the 1% of the wealth in this country yet we are concerned about other groups instead of ourselves.
1.He didn’t!! That’s just what you got out of it!! 2.Or you a troll trying to make a point to deflect from the song!!! Its either number one or number 2. You are not black either stop posing!!!!
to Alderman J He said that he thought adding them would make the record more potent. 2. I made my comment political because this is about a song that criticises Donald Trump. I am Black but you have the wool over your eyes. There are levels to consciousness. If media headlines and soundbites can influence you so easily than you are easily led.
