We can name the best Rap Artist or the best rap songs but the timeline would be endless. Aside from the subjective drugs and sex verses that take precedence in the media; There are a few things like fashion, dances, and movies that can be associated. have you seen Fortnite or MineCraft lately? Heck even food - yes food- has contributed to legacy of rap. To my reconciliation it morphed from Big Mama's food to munchies overload but the lasting power started with Rap Snacks. It started with a chip but left with a bag.
The branding of Rap Snacks is so unique that few are aware that the company was started in 1994. Owner and snack food connoisseur James Lindsey created the product to connect his love for food and music. As I continued to read on the history of Rap Snacks. I was shocked Lindsey took a five year hiatus. Rap Snacks is a cultural product that features the faces of artists from Meek Mill to Card B and even Master P. Speaking of the iconic No Limit entrepreneur one of his many investments was into Rap Snacks. Fast forward 20 years later he has added noodles to the for the love of rap and food list and the Rap Snack brand with his recent launch of Rap Noodles. He has taken the cheapest yet tasty under a $1 meal and gave it some New Orleans Flavor because there’s ‘No Limit to Success’
