It would've made sense to nab some intern, hand them a lyric sheet, and order them to make "I'm lovin' it / is this the place to eat? / Since I don't cook / I'll just rock to the beat" sound convincing. But instead, McDonald's hired three big stars to create two different songs, and their powers combined made the company richer (and the world fatter) than ever.
The above rap was written by Pusha T, one half of the famed rap duo The Clipse. He kept quiet about it until recently, since it's hard to maintain street cred when pushing food that tastes like the bottom of a sandal. But in June 2016, during an interview with Hot 97, former record exec Steve Stoute revealed that Pusha T wrote and performed the original song (no word on whether he had a hand in "McNugget Love" years later). With the cat now out of the bag, Pusha confessed on Twitter shortly thereafter.
