"Fuk Sumn" is a song by the American hip hop superduo ¥$, composed of rapper Kanye West and singer Ty Dolla Sign, featuring American rappers Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. It was produced by West and Ty Dolla Sign, along with AyoAA, Bbykobe, Che Pope, JPEGMafia, Shdøw, The Legendary Traxster and Timbaland. The song contains samples of the original 1994 version of "Smoking on a Junt" by Koopsta Knicca, "Stud-Spider" by Tony Joe White, and vocal samples from "Funky President (People It's Bad)" by James Brown & "Baptizing Scene" by Reverend W.A Donaldson.
Background
"Fuk Sumn" was originally a Ty Dolla Sign song with Juicy J called "Smoking on Junt" before being shown to West during the recordings of Vultures 1.
Rapper Quavo originally had a verse on the song, but it was removed which faced backlash from critics and fans. A version of Fuk Sumn with Quavo's verse was played at a listening party in Arizona.
Critical reception
The song received generally favorable reviews. Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX wrote that Ty Dolla Sign's crooning on the song is "standout". Aron A. of HotNewHipHop considered Playboi Carti's feature one of two "stellar performances" on Vultures 1 (along with his appearance on "Carnival"), stating that "Evolving his delivery from a deeper register adds a level of curiosity to his flow." He also described Carti asking "Shawty wanna fuck?" on the song as "almost whimsically inquisitive". Fred Thomas of AllMusic commented that Playboi Carti and Travis Scott "add personality to the eerie, nocturnal bump of 'FUK SUMN.'"
