The 23 Most Ridiculous Food Lyrics from Kanye West

yeezus

Kanye West has been called a genius numerous times. Granted, it's usually just him saying it, but it does takes a special kind of artist to put together so many food references in his lyrics throughout the years. He's at a point in his career where anything he says can be turned into an inspirational quote worthy of Pinterest/Tumblr/Instagram. That's how genius works, right? From his affinity for Klondike bars to the nostalgic description of his mother's chicken soup, Kanye finds masterful ways to incorporate food into his beautiful music.

Maybe he writes some of his best stuff in his kitchen, or at a restaurant, regardless, here's 23 of Kanye West's tastiest food references.

__________

aDoritos-Lollipop

In 2008 Kanye teamed up With Lil Wayne for the Lollipop remix and graced us with this double entendre that almost solidified his genius with one verse alone. Nacho cheese has never felt so complex.

__________

fritos-popa

Kanye didn't stop there. The very next line in the Lollipop remix gave us another chip classic, this time using Fritos.

__________

Flashing-Hors-d'oeuvresa

Kanye showed his versatility in this one as he dropped some French on us. Not only did he tap into our food fantasies, but dropped a literature reference. Some said it couldn't be done, but Kanye can do anything.

__________

alors-on-dansea

Keeping with the French theme, Kanye jumped on the Alors on Danse remix and talked about filet mignon. Unnecessary? Maybe. Awesome? Always.

__________

Christina-Milian-Klondikae

Kanye is known to ask the hard-hitting life questions. He's somewhat of a philosopher in his own right, kind of. In this verse, he put a spin on the age-old Klondike question.

__________

blonde-dyke-klondikea

In this verse, Kanye kind of answered his own question from the last quote. He'd do anything.

__________

cool-whipa-slow-jamz

In this one, Yeezy showed one of his innovative uses for Cool Whip.

__________

chicken-soup-hey-maama

In one of his more serious songs, this one really showed a nostalgic West as he honored his mom's home cooking.

__________

Fridays-Gonae

Yeezus showed some pretty classic foodie alternatives to jewelry in this one.

__________

Gorgeous-Fish-Sticka

This one was in retaliation to a classic South Park episode where Yeezy was compared to a "gay fish."

__________

guilt-trip-vodkaa

Yeezus has hundreds of libation references in his music, as most rap artists do, but here he displayed a special ability to rhyme, "vodka" with "blocka, blocka, blocka, blocka."

__________

Heartbreak-Cakea

This one is a bit painful if you're a fan of cake. Having to leave a party early before the cake is cut is brutal, twice as brutal if there's Rocky Road ice cream served with it.

__________

I-am-a-God-Croissanta

Yeezus showed his God-like rhyming as he let out his wrath on a lowly French server in this one.

__________

kobe-beef-like-thata

A tribute to one of the most dominant duos in basketball history. Unfortunately, he brought up the break up portion of the duo's relationship.

__________

Last-call-mayonnaisea

This verse is probably close to Kanye's heart, as he talked about it being one of the lines that got him noticed as a rapper and not just a producer. The power of food.

__________

Lawry's-Good-Lifea

'Ye took Lawry's to the mainstream with this one and started a rap style that took off with rappers like Drake and Lil Wayne.

__________

mocha-workout-plana

This is one of the simpler workout tips Kanye gives in this song.

__________

Paris-Fish-Fileta

Kanye teamed up with Jay-Z in this song and asked him these rhetorical questions that he clearly knew the answers to.

__________

So-appalled-cheeriaos

It takes true genius to to care about lowering your cholesterol.

__________

Sweet-aand-Sour

Yeezy sure does know what to do with those extra sweet and sour packets that McDonald's... oh wait, they never give anyone enough sweet and sour sauce.

__________

through-the-pancaake-wire

We get three food references in this one as Kanye sadly describes the time in his life he broke his jaw in an accident and couldn't enjoy food. If you've had braces, you can feel his pain. Sort of.

__________

Touch-thea-KFC

Wait, KFC has a buffet?

__________

We-don't-care-Cakae

Yeah. This is Kanye's music in a nutshell.

__________

So there you have it. If you don't feel inspired to eat something delicious after this, there's something wrong with you. Go bake yourself a cake and call it genius.
