The art of rap is all about using what you have around you to express yourself, and if you're hungry, it's going to be about food. These are some of the greatest rap & hip hop songs about food ever recorded. These top food-related hip hop lyrics cover everything from pizza to tacos, collard greens to vegan dishes, lentil soup, and many kinds of soul food.
If you were a rapper, what would you rap about? Perhaps this Ranker list of The Most Delicious Foods In The World would be a useful reference. Granted, it may be difficult finding words that rhyme with crispy fried chicken, cinnamon rolls, King Crab legs, or mozzarella sticks.
Mmm, now that you're likely pretty hungry, check out these raps about food, and vote up the track you think is best.

Fried Chicken (feat. Busta Rhymes)

Candy yams, collard greens but you knocking me to my knees..."
