Song For the Vile: Meet the Baltimore jokesters behind that 'Fuck Donald Trump' song
Last week, 'CIT4DT,' a music video featuring three Baltimore county teens rapping a goofy, pointed anti-Donald Trump song went viral. Over a stark though springy beat—swiped from Detroit rapper Rocaine's song 'Chicken Chicken'—Dooley, TLow, and Lor Roger threaten Trump ("We got a chopper in the trunk/ For Donald Trump") and trade terse insults, dozens-style: Dooley, a online comedian with a substantive following, raps, "Boy, ain't even white/ You yellow/ You say you'd date your own daughter, you a sicko"; Tlow reminds people of what happened to Trump in Chicago when protestors shut down his rally; and Lor Roger says he's got some hollow points for the GOP frontrunner if Trump doesn't rein in his rhetoric.
'CIT4DT' quickly spread across the internet where it was shared and reposted a number of times by other sites trying to glom onto its imminent virality: It's an indelicate song for the indelicate Donald. But the song has also caught the attention of Trump supporters and the fringes of the right-wing media, with bloggers invoking Baltimore's unrest to talk about the teens, wondering where their parents are, and projecting other stereotypes onto them. That Dooley is on probation and has a brother in prison—both of which he brought up to City Paper, by the way—is supposedly evidence these are bad kids. Fox News' Sean Hannity aired a clip of the video and described 'CIT4DT,' as "a disturbing rap video threatening violence against Donald Trump."
"They're blowing it out of proportion," Dooley, 19, says, sitting near the fountain at the Avenue in White Marsh, with Tlow and Lor Roger by his side. "They're taking it too serious."
"I been laughing at the comments and the people that are mad we did it," Lor Roger, 17, says. "The comments are the funniest thing."
