Whoever had "Rapper teaming up with fast-food chain to dunk on McDonald's for not giving him enough jingle royalties" on your 2022 Bingo card... well, congratulations, today is very much your lucky day:
[A] new diss track has emerged, furnished by rapper Pusha T in service of fast-food chain Arby's and its new spicy fish sandwich.
Pusha T is no stranger to the battle rap, clashing most notably perhaps with the rapper Drake a few years ago. But this time, he's not taking aim at a golden-voiced rapper; he's going after the golden arches at McDonald's.
Evidently, there are personal reasons behind it. King Push, as he's known by beloved fans, is credited with penning the highly successful "I'm Lovin' It" McDonald's jingle near the beginning of his career, but he said he didn't receive much compensation for it.
I gotta admit... this "diss track" kinda slaps a bit. I mean, rap isn't for everybody—it's certainly not my favorite genre—but King Push actually does kind of bring it in this one (at least in a context of a depressing, pointless fast-food rivalry).
And I mean look... so long as it's not an issue of price, it's pretty obvious that the Arby's fishwich is simply out-and-out better than the McFishwich. You can just kinda tell by looking at it:
Nothing beat's a fresh hot carton of Mickey D's fries though. That'll never change.
