As the upcoming presidential election continues to heat up, what better time for YG to speak up regarding his stance against Republican nominee, Donald Trump. In a recent interview with i-D, the Still Brazy rapper discussed taking a political stand with "Fuck Donald Trump" and how Macklemore and G-Eazy ended up being on the remix.

That was my first time making a meaningful record; I usually do the turn-ups. But that shit had a real impact," the California rapper revealed when speaking on "Fuck Donald Trump."

"It's like, wake up, America. Motherfuckers are talking about drugs and parties and guns and shit. But they gotta know there's more shit going on," he added. "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."

When transitioning to his "Fuck Donald Trump" remix, YG disclosed why he wanted Macklemore and G-Eazy on board.

"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. 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."
