Sean Evans, Action Bronson, N.O.R.E., and More on Food and Rap | Complex Con(Versations)
We just tryin’ to eat." This simple hustler’s credo has always been fundamental to the urban rags-to-riches story, which at its core is a fight to put a meal on the table, and to evolve from canned sardines to seafood towers. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that food has always had a place in rap lyricism, nor that the relationship between hip-hop and how we eat has evolved into TV shows, potato chip brands, and more. First We Feast leads a discussion featuring Trick Daddy, E-40, Action Bronson, N.O.R.E., Miss Info, and moderator Sean Evans. They tackle topics like how rap infiltrated food TV, and debate the greatest food-inspired lyrics of all time.
