Between Bonita Applebum, Butter and the Jam, hip-hop titans A Tribe Called Quest are not shy about paying gastronomic homage. On Ham’n’Eggs, floating like croutons over a languid beat-soup, Q-Tip and Phife Dawg tie foodie punchlines like cherry stems, extolling the virtues of candied yams, slim jims and “nice red beets” as if cooking up a big Sunday brunch in the deep American south. They might be warning of high cholesterol, but it has the opposite effect; if you’re not raiding the cupboards by its call-and-response close, you’ve got much better self-control than us.
