Recording
The track was recorded in about an hour, and was inspired by Hussle's positive experience of working with Mexican immigrants to the US.[1] It begins with soundbites from several black protesters who were ejected from a Trump rally in Valdosta, Georgia.[2] The track contains a sample of "Somethin' To Ride To (Fonky Expedition)" by The Conscious Daughters.
In April 2016, the LAPD shut down a video shoot for the song being filmed on the corner of Crenshaw Boulevard and 71st Street, Los Angeles following a tip-off. There were no arrests, and a police spokesman later said there was no evidence of violence.[3] Footage from the police raid was included in the final video.[4]
According to YG, the US Secret Service attempted to halt the album's release because of the lyrical content of this song, but were unsuccessful, though a portion of the track was "blanked" before release.[5][6] YG considered dropping the track from the album, worrying it would not be released, but was persuaded by producer Steve-O Carless to keep it. The track as released has gaps where controversial lines were removed.[4][6]
Reception
The track became increasingly popular throughout 2016. YG called his summer tour to promote Still Brazy the "Fuck Donald Trump Tour" and the song was remixed by G-Eazy and Macklemore, featuring new verses criticising Trump's comments on banning Muslims from the US.[6][7] Following the election, which saw Trump become president-elect, YG performed the song as the closing number in his set at the 2016 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival to a positive reception.[8]
The Los Angeles Times described "FDT" as, "the most prophetic, wrathful and unifying protest song of 2016."[9]
In early 2019, YG announced he planned to record another Trump-related diss song as a follow up.[10]
In October 2020, a 44-year-old Texas man was filmed punching an anti-Trump protester who was playing the "FDT" song outside of a convenience store in Denton, Texas. The man who threw the punch was arrested.[11]
On November 7, 2020, the song topped the iTunes charts after Joe Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election.[12]
