- So I was revisiting the NLE Choppa album, "Top Shotta."
It's basically hip-hop
that makes you wanna rob your own house
and that's kind of the vibe you want
when you're about to do a workout.
So I was trying to get into the zone,
but every single song,
he'll throw in some ridiculous metaphor to food.
The whole album is filled with food bars
and it kinda threw off my whole day,
but I realized rappers rap about food a lot.
If I just play through my music library,
I bet I can go three whole days eating all of my meals
only with foods that are mentioned in rap lyrics.
(hip-hop music)
I'm from the Bay Area, so you know I mess with E-40
and he does this thing
where he kinda just smashes words together into a line.
No regard for the number of syllables.
Doesn't even make a sentence.
He just goes like, "Digital scale, green eggs and hams,
yams, candied and Spam, damn, loaded, my cheese,
peanut butter and jam."
If we're taking the green eggs and ham literally,
I can just mix the yellow egg yolk
with some blue food coloring.
Spam for breakfast is such a
Bay Area Filipino thing, love that.
And then I got some canned yams which aren't candied yams,
but they're sitting in a sweet syrup,
so that's close enough.
This is from one of his early songs called "The Slap"
and it's one of the reasons why we say, "this slaps"
or "that slaps".
E-40 was one of the guys on the song
"Snap Yo Fingers" by Lil Jon,
but he also had the songs
"Function" and "Tell Me When to Go".
He's basically carried the whole hyphy movement
ever since 2006 which was after Mac Dre passed away,
rest in peace.
I'm excited about this PB and J sandwich,
'cause my entire life, I was allergic to peanut butter
and then all of a sudden, I somehow outgrew it,
so now I'm addicted to them.
Wasn't really sure where to use the digital scale
that E-40 mentions.
It's probably just for weighing portion sizes
for food and literally nothing else.
Now it's lunchtime and we got some lyrics
from the rapper Lil Pump
who blew up back in 2017, 'cause of "Gucci Gang",
but I honestly really like his first self-titled album.
It's been downhill from there,
but he still drops lyrical gems like this.
"I don't need you, I don't need school.
I pop beans, I don't eat food.
Left wrist cost a Bentley coupe.
Drop 10 Xans in Wonton soup."
This is really exciting, 'cause I haven't had wonton soup
in like over a year,
'cause it's not really my go-to takeout food,
but now there's a Chinese restaurant
that's back open down the street
and I've been wanting to try it.
I don't think people traditionally eat wonton soup
with Xanax though, let alone 10 Xans
which seems way higher than the typically prescribed dosage,
so we're gonna skip that part.
Okay, so for sure, I wanna do a Drake bar for dinner,
'cause he always tries to be really cool
and super serious, but then he hits us with lines like this.
"Yeah, how's that for real?
You toyin' with it like Happy Meal."
(Chris groans)
All right, so for sure we're going to McDonald's,
but I'm not buying myself a Happy Meal,
so we gotta get another McDonald's bar.
I have to mention the most famous McDonald's line by far.
It comes from Kanye West in his song with Jay-Z
where they're in Paris or something
and it goes.
- [Male Voiceover] Ball so hard.
- [Chris] "That shit cray, that shit cray,
ain't it, Jay?
- [Male Voiceover] Ball so hard.
- [Chris] What she order?
- [Male Voiceover] What she order?
- Fish filet.
The fish filet was just okay.
Would've been better with ketchup,
but Jay-Z said, "Six-deuce every time,
I never had the Heinz.
Fifty-seven can't catch up to mines."
So I just can't do it.
Now it's day two and we'll start with a line
from NLE Choppa.
"I might just K.O that Perc up in my Faygo.
Run up on me wrong, turn his head into a bagel."
So Mr. Choppa doesn't really specify
what to eat the bagel with,
but I did listen to the song "Broccoli"
where DRAM raps in the second verse,
"Couple summers later I got paper.
I acquired taste for salmon on a bagel
with the capers on a square plate.
At the restaurant with the why you gotta stare face."
This rounds out the classic lox bagel sandwich
which is a really interesting flex
to show you've made it, you know?
Usually it's like a car, a Rolly.
No, nine dollar sandwich.
The song "Broccoli" has such a 2016 college freshmen energy.
I love it.
All right, for lunch we got the Cardi B line
from the song "Best Life".
"I'm like Big Pop mixed with 2Pac, I'm like Makaveli.
You need some, Little Caesar's pizza, I be hot and ready."
So Makaveli was the name for Tupac Shakur's alter ego.
Hot and Ready's basically the Little Caesar's pizzas
that are like five or six dollars.
They're sitting an oven in the front
and they're warm all the time,
so you can just walk in, grab one, pay, leave.
You're done in like a minute.
Now that this concept is actually in my life,
'cause of this video, it's kinda dangerous,
'cause knowing me, I can just easily inhale
like 2,300 calories in one go.
For dinner, we're doing the classic Lil Wayne song,
"Six Foot Seven Foot".
The whole song is full of quotables,
but there's this one line in the second verse.
"Paper chasing, tell the paper,
'Look, I'm right behind ya'.
Bitch, real G's move in silence like lasagna." (laughs)
Okay, so the G's technically not silent,
'cause that's what gives it the ng sound,
but it is funny, so we'll let it slide.
I don't even own a baking dish,
so I got this lasagna that's frozen and microwaveable.
And honestly, it's pretty good.
So good morning again.
I was just listening to a Rick Ross track.
It was a pretty deep cut,
but he raps about some really heavy, serious stuff.
Catching a case and going into county jail.
The police raiding his parents' home.
Someone shooting someone else in a beef.
And then hooking up with a victim's sister.
And then he drops this line.
"Shot him in the kitchen, hurt over a bowl of cereal.
This deeper than rap.
I guess a box of Cap'n Crunch gets you deeper than that."
Got the Cap'n Crunch right here
and he has another song called "Sixteen"
where he says, "Now I get a hundred racks for the sixteen,
waking up to turkey bacon and my fit queen."
I'm using this line,
because it adds some protein to the meal
and I'll just let those get crispy.
And some close-ups just to show you it's crispy
and then we pour the cereal
in the only civilized way to do so which is before the milk.
This breakfast doesn't really work
unless you do the signature Rick Ross grunt with it.
(Chris grunts)
He always raps in his really beefy voice
that sounds like how his beard looks.
Great way to start the morning.
Before lunch, I was listening to some Doja Cat
and one of my favorite songs by her is called "Juicy".
I listened to the original version without Tyga
and in the last verse, she says,
"Ate my fish like Takamaki
like a side of me with sake
So I put it in my mouth and suck it out like edamame."
That's kind of a lot, but I do like Takamaki.
I also got some edamame right here and some sake.
Now I'm barely gonna drink any,
because three sips will turn my face into a cherry.
After those lyrics, I'm not putting these in my mouth
and I don't know the proper technique for using soy sauce,
but I can hear someone typing in the comments right now
that it's not whatever I'm doing.
Now for the last dinner, we got a deep cut from Smokepurpp
and it proves that you can make any lyrics sound hard
as long as it fits the triplet flow.
"I get the cheese Fettuccine Alfredo.
He came with a bag and he left with a halo."
That was part of his hook on the song "Fettucine Alfredo"
by rapper TTO K.T.
Yeah, I don't know him either, but Smokepurpp
had an interview with Swae and 15 minutes in,
the camera pans over to the right
and TTO K.T. was next to him the entire time.
And they tell him to freestyle and he just goes off.
Smokepurpp also has another song "Audi"
which is one of his most famous ones
and he says, "Whippin' Jeff Hardy in the kitchen,
countin' and wrap up the chicken."
There we go, there's my permission
to make this chicken fettucuine alfredo.
It was a little bit chunky, so I went back
and mixed in some pasta water and it turned out pretty well.
All right, so that's pretty much it for now.
Let me know down below if there's any lyrics that I missed
or if you wanna see another video like this.
Thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
