Read Kanye's Moving Ode To McDonald's French Fries, From Frank Ocean's Newest Album

Turns out Kanye loves McDonald’s almost as much as he loves Kanye.

Over the weekend, Frank Ocean ended his four-year silence with the release of not just a visual album, titled Endless, but another, regular album named Blond.

The latter was also released in conjunction with a collectible zine – its name is Boys Don’t Cry - in several American cities. (Yes, there is a lot of Frank Ocean to absorb at this moment in time.)

Excerpts from the zine have been making their way across the web, but none is perhaps more fascinating than a submission by Kanye West: a poem about McDonald’s.

The McDonald’s Man, as Kanye’s ode goes by, is either about something very deep and powerful and far beyond our comprehension, or quite literally about the deliciousness of French fries, and how all the other items on the McDonald’s menu (save for “that smooth apple pie) are jealous of their deliciousness. Given his history, we think it’s the latter. (Sure, the above photo is of Kim and Kanye enjoying dinner at Waffle House, but we’re guessing Kanye ordered the fries.)

All we know is this is #art (and we’re too busy wrapping our heads around the Frank Ocean albums to try and unravel Kanye’s latest opus).

But feel free to have a crack yourself:


McDonalds man

McDonalds man

The French fries had a plan

the French fries had a plan

The salad bar and the ketchup made a band

Cus the French fries had a plan

The French fries had a plan


McDonalds man

McDonalds

I know them French fries have a plan

I know them French fries have a plan

The cheeseburger and the shakes formed a band

To overthrow the French fries plan

I always knew them French fries was evil man

Smelling all good and s***

I don’t trust no food that smells that good man

I don’t trust it

I just can’t


McDonalds man

McDonalds man

McDonalds, damn

Them French fries look good tho

I knew the diet Coke was jealous of the fries

I knew the McNuggets was jealous of the fries

Even the McRib was jealous of the fries

I could see it through his artificial meat eyes

And he only be there some of the time

Everybody was jealous of them French fries

Except for that one special guy

That smooth apple pie
