YG is back with another Donald Trump protest song, and this time he's brought G-Eazy and Macklemore along.

Entitled "FDT (F*ck Donald Trump) Part 2," the new song features YG taking the Reoublican presidential candidate to task. Filmed at an anti-Trump rally, the video features Americans of different backgrounds flipping off the camera while the trio of rappers proudly declare "F*ck Donald Trump."

The original "FDT" was released last March and also features Nipsey Hustle. The song appeared on YG's latest album, "Still Brazy," which was released earlier this summer and debuted at number 6 on the Billboard charts.

Chi-town's Finest surpassed Michael Jackson's record when Schoolboy Q's latest single, The Part, which West is featured on, made it to Billboard's Top 40. The Part is the fortieth Top 40 single that Kanye has appeared on. His debut solo single, Through The Wire, which West recorded while his mouth was wired shut following a car accident, peaked at number 15 on Billboard's Top 100. Since then, the Chicago rapper/producer has become a multi-platinum artist, and despite being involved in frequent scand

A man equipped only with large suction cups and rope attempted to scale the exterior of Trump Tower yesterday.

The unnamed Virginia man spent almost three hours clinging to the side of Trump's New York skyscraper. A large crowd gathered to watch him climb, while an audience of thousands watched multiple livestreams throughout the internet of the incident. The man was reportedly trying to earn a meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, but his ascent was cut short when New York City police officers pulled him inside the building from an open window. Previous to his capture, the man was forced to change his climbing route multiple times to avoid attempts by police and security officials to grab him. The man
