“The Official Snack of Hip Hop”

Posted by on April 20 at 8:54 AM

I can’t decide what to think about Rap Snacks, the “Official Snack of Hip Hop”, so you be the judge. I tried the “Bar-b-qin’ with My Honey” flavored potato chips (which features an illustration of Lil’ Romeo on the bag along with the advice “Stay in school”), and they taste pretty much the same as the Lays barbecue chips. The only place I’ve seen these for sale is the 7-11 at the top of Queen Anne.

Discuss.

my friend creighton plays drums in a band called Band of Horses. he is one of the best drummers i have ever had the pleasure of watching.

creighton also has a number of interesting tattoos. my favorite, and a favorite for many folks that know him, is the ink rendition of Will Smith, eating a bag of rap snacks.

in script below, it reads "Welcome To Miami."

it is my best rap snacks related story. actually, it's my only rap snacks related story.

these have been around for a while. they are just chips. but tasty due to the numerous varities of bbq featured.

There is a mini-mart on 50th and University next to Jack in the Box that has a huge display of them. I'm still waiting to see who is on the Rock Snacks.

The mini-mart on 45th/Roosevelt also has a big end-cap full of them.

I had a coworker at an old job who displayed a bag of rap snacks on the top of his file drawer as a gag.

First and only place I've ever seen these is at a 7-11 near the pop-up suburb at the intersection of highway 9 & highway 204, on the way out to Lake Stevens. "Southern Crunk BBQ" was the flavor. Those rap snacks were the only crunk thing for at least 15 or 20 miles around.

I just picked up some "BBD - back at the ranch" flavor at the mini mart on 21st and Union in the CD. snacking it real.

23rd and jackson red apple. saw them months ago and told someone at the stranger. what took you so long?

fuck the police. and also, buy these chips.

7-11 at 16th and Pine/Madison carries them. The ones I tried (Master P flavoe I think?) kinda suck.

They are also sold at a 7-11 in Marysville, my boyfriend and I road-tripped back to Michigan to visit his family for Thanksgiving. We picked up about 10 bags of these chips to give to his rappin' brother.
They taste like regular chips, but they also promote self-starting and go getting amongst urban youth.
What a better way to show that then slapping the face of a rap moguls spoiled child on the front of one of the flavors.

Excuse me, but can we go back to this tattoo? Creighton is a fucking tattoo thief! It's widely known that he stole the idea from someone else, who actually conceptualized the tattoo years ago, and had an artist make a rendering of what he wanted. So now there are two people with the Will Smith/Rap Snacks tattoo, but only one of them is the rightful owner. It isn't Creighton. Barf.
