Eating Pussy With 2Chainz

It may have only been a five minute interview but Tity Boi gave me some valuable gourmet food tips.

I already felt like I had a spiritual connection with 2Chainz—I mean we both like big booty hoes and draping ourselves in gold—but when he released a cookbook to complement his new LP, I really CONNECTED, y'know? #MealTime is an opus of his most loved tour bus recipes that includes classy as shit, delicately prepared poultry, and seafood dishes via recipes that have steps like "Put on your Versace apron" and "Taste the mixture with your 24 karat gold spoon."

So, during some fleeting Noisey shoot down time, I asked the big guy about eating for health and, ummm, eating for "pleasure" (。◔_◔。)

Noisey: So, I'm a big fan of your food photos and cookbook #MealTime. How did that all come about?

2Chainz: My cookbook came about by me having a chef, me having some stomach issues, and erm, me just finding happier ways to eat. I started posting photos on Instagram without thinking that that was a thing… you don't realize social media's really taking over society as a whole. Anyway, I got alot of positive feedback. So when I started putting my album together I thought it'd be a dope idea to add the cookbook to the deluxe, instead of just, y'know, the normal footage of me as extra. It's educating people in a fun way and they're the real tourbus recipes, my favourites that I have when I'm out on the road.

All your meals look really fancy. How do you avoid the trap of eating shitty food on tour?

Food is very important to me and my energy, it's about 25% of your whole make up. Someone else might be like, they need to have TV or be on the phone all the time or whatever. Me? I need good food, so it's worth putting the effort in on tour.

I REALLY relate. What were you eating before you went on a health kick?

I never really ate beef or pork that much to start with, but I used to love my fried food, soda, and alcohol. Now I watch what I put in my body.

Would you say you're a big advocate of the FoodPorn movement on Instagram?

I guess. I don't actually follow anybody on Instagram, in fact I just realized I had a million followers on there. I need to start following somebody real soon.

That's a bit rude.

I just noticed when I was on Instagram, I'd be looking at peoples' photos, just wasting the valuable time I need to get work done. Sometimes I need something to waste time but most of the time I don't, I try not to.

You should get an account for your dog like Pusha T, though.

Really? That's hard. I didn't know that.

Is it true you're going to have a cooking show as well?

I mean, people are offering me cooking shows, but I don't know what I'm going to do yet.

You should do it with us!

I wanna be a good-ass rapper first and foremost!

Fair enough. What's with the relationship between rap and food?

They never did go together. [Laughs]

Rappers make tons of food references!

Sitting down to eat that's, like, my "me" time. So you might cook for yourself or for your family, you might create different situations to enjoy "me" time, whether it's going to the gym or reading a book, and for me it's food… cooking. It's all conceptual.

Okay, finally what would your perfect death row meal?

[Long pause] Can I curse?

Uh huh.

Probably pussy.

THAT'S NOT A MEAL!

I can say pussy over here, right?!

You can say whatever but…

Well, I didn't want to disrespect you but, yeah, before I die I want to eat me some pussy.

It needs to be something you can eat with cutlery!

I can eat it any way! Pussy.

C'mon, but if you had to have a cooked meal?!

Cook up pussy?!

No!

Yeah, it'd probably be, like, lobster. And pussy.

We got there in the end.
