You could say that "F.D.B." about all my baby mamas. It was just at this point I got fed up. And hearing them talk about you. The bitch talking about "fuck me." Well, "fuck dat bitch." It came out naturally like that. It wasn't rehearsed or nothing. I say that shit all the time. If I really felt like it was a track for me to go straight to the studio and do I would have done so, but that right there was me having fun, making people laugh, and swagging, talking about $1000 shoes. It wasn't nothing I had to go and put my brain to.
Critical reception
"FDB" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. XXL named the song one of High Times most enjoyable moments.[2] Also saying, "Under the song’s polished and pristine finish, there’s a sticky truth, a previously unsung realness blurred by black comedy and raucous punchlines."[3] David Jeffries of AllMusic also praised the song saying, "tracks like the minimal, mean, and infectious-as-poison-ivy number "FDB" deserves to be lifted from the mixtape world and put on the turntable of every club."[4]
