Wendy’s wasn’t kidding. The fast-food giant followed in the footsteps of Hamburger Helper on Friday and actually released its own mixtape titled We Beefin’.
It’s shameless and unnecessary, but admittedly entertaining.
The five-track tape features titles like “Twitter Fingers,” “Holding It Down,” and "4 for 4$,” all of which are delivered by a female rapper who takes on the persona of the chain’s eponymous mascot. “Redhead with some pigtails / Better check the score, my meals sell / Now that's better, I'm so clever / My bars chilly, better grab a sweater,” she raps on “Rest in Grease.”
The tape also includes some much-appreciated disses directed at Wendy’s biggest rivals, most notably McDonald’s:
You number 1? That’s a joke
Why yo' ice cream machine always broke?
Why yo' drive-thru always slow?
Why yo' innovation just can’t grow?
It's queen Wendy, need I say mo'?
[...] Them lil tweets don't phase me, McDonalds be so lazy
I know the reason you hatin' me 'cause I'm fast food's First Lady
And you already know Burger King wasn't getting a pass:
Can't be no king, yo' burgers ain’t the finest thing
I can't believe you peasants have the audacity
You took a L the day you thought to come after me
So whats the beef?
They threaten and now I really see
And BK, don’t think that you got away
You copied my old menu and put it out on replay
Savage.
