Nas's 'Fried Chicken' Song
From left: Nas, fried chicken.
As Alaina who discovered this via the Guardian, said, "I can’t believe I’m only hearing this song now." I second that. I guess that's what I get for sleepin' on the latest Nas album. "Fried Chicken" is the 11th track on the untitled record and features Busta Rhymes. Sample lyrics:
After you shower, you and your Gold Medal flour/ Then you rub your hot oil for 'bout a half an hour/ You in your hot tub, I'm looking at you, salivating/ Dry you off, I got your paper towel waiting
I keep going back and forth on whether he's using this as a sexual metaphor or truly rapping about fried chicken alone. I guess it's both, of course. Wanna listen? Go here. [NSFW/H; contains explicit language.]

This is one of my favorite songs on his new album. The whole album is good. I love the line that mentions "Greeks with their falafel, Italians with their tam-ato pasta". Nas is awesome.

@FFC: I thought it was important to caption those pix. I didn't want readers getting confused. ;)

The busta rhymes verse is metaphorical magic.
"The flies in my stomach, when I laid eyes on you, or was it infection manifesting"
There's another verse about his fingers and a funny fragrance that I won't paraphrase here. LOL
