All the Food References in Action Bronson’s Mixtape, “Blue Chips 2”
Note: There were a few cases (marked by *) where even repeated listens failed to demystify the lyrics. Reader suggestions are welcome in the comments below.
From “Silverado”
I know your hair’s soft / You’re on the menu like the lamb broth

I’m in the Gray 8* / restaurant / I order rabbit like a Playmate

360 on a Sea-Doo in a tux / call my homie tell him meet me down at Lido Beach for lunch
All the money chronological, it look like callaloo / provide the crew designer suits and exotic food
From “It Concerns Me”
Hall and Oates be at the benefit for ___ ___* / they have the freshwater bass served five styles
Greek men / jump off the back of the boat for dinner / barehanded snatch up an octopus I’m a winner / grill it / hit it with olive oil and lemon / then kiss my fingers / ___ _____* that was delicious
And we’d be remiss in omitting the sample of an Applebee’s commercial that ends the song:
“Look at ‘em bonding over the jazzed-up flavor of those new Bourbon Street entrées…creamy Cajun steak and shrimp and Cajun shrimp pasta.”
From “Practice”
Order the breast of veal at Walt Frazier’s / dog my women come in all flavors
Every meal I eat steak to make a statement / Patrick Bateman
Cheerios shift lip like Rey Mysterio / We laid up with big money be the scenario
Eating chicken Parmesan in a holding cell / my feet up

Seven different kinds of cheeses / My silhouette resemble Jesus in

Fine dining, drink water out the crystal creek
I’m a wild freak / Here’s shorty with the child’s sleeve / While her mother makes soup with the cow feet

Crack the bud / guzzle / humidors
Smack the taco out your mouth / green couch

My dad was right when he said I was a strange, f— / Now every meal is calamari and boudin blanc

Serve me snails to eat / No ham and cheese
The 540i, color salmon / Smoked can, and / push the seat back / roll my weed up

Caddy got the brown on top / Just like the crème brûlée / Crack it
Five in the morning, drinkin coffee smoking Kents
I been there / Pouches of tuna

Three different types of forks from Morandi lunch / tamarind punch, higher than the javelin jump
Def Leppard / Fresh pepper / Did I mention, steer the whip with one arm like Jim Abbott / chocolate sauce over dead rabbit
The animals we find in the jungle on the table, sculpted and nice / throw the dice
From “It’s Me”
Thin slices of the cheddar, folded up make my life better / We had the lunch at Osteria Morini, I had the calf’s brain / half glass of Cabernet on the PATH train
Won’t even dine / unless the ice sculpture centerpiece is swan
