# Rapping Food Shorts Bankshot Shoots a Stop-Motion Video Using Talking Edibles By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2012-05-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bankshot References: [vimeo](https://vimeo.com/channels/animationandpuppets) & [TeamBankshot](http://www.TeamBankshot.com) Directed by Bankshot, this short shows the thug side of carbs, veggies, fruits and sweets. Hell, there is even a green pepper with grillz on. What's more, the lemon (with strawberry eyes) looks like it wants to cut someone and the cake is just plain intimidating. A recent nominee in the animation, stop-motion and puppets category for the prestigious Vimeo awards, the video features hilarious tunage from the likes of DJ Nick Castle. The beginning of the [stop motion film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-masala-movie) exclaims, "We should rap about things we like... Like... food!" It seems DJ Nick Castle and I have that in common. Remixing lines from iconic rap songs of the past, DJ Nick Castle pulls out only the parts from rap songs that have to do with food. [Biggie Smalls, Q-Tip and Method Man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glorillas-4-unbeatable-meal-deal) among others are sampled singing about bacon, toast and of all things, flapjacks. Apparently breakfast is a popular meal amongst the hip hop community. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stop-motion Animation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating innovative and engaging stop-motion videos. - **Foodie Rap:** Potential for disruptive innovation by combining rap music with food-related themes to create unique and entertaining content. - **Culinary Entertainment:** Emerging trend of using food as a source of entertainment, providing opportunities for disruptive innovation in the culinary industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Animation:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the animation industry by pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques and incorporating new storytelling elements. - **Music:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the music industry by exploring new genres and unique collaborations, such as combining rap and food themes. - **Food and Beverage:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage industry through the creation of culinary experiences that merge entertainment and gastronomy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bouillon-Based Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-food-remix.md) - [Stop-Motion Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-chef-x-ikea.md) - [Artistic Hip-Hop-Inspired Cereal Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/follow-your-ears.md) - [Rapper-Backed Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joeunary.md) - [Horror-Themed QSR Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-in-the-box-feeding-time.md) - [Rapper-Inspired Easter Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-starr.md) - [Catchy Basked Pasta Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodles-cos-chicken-parmesan.md) - [AI-Generated Rap Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more.md) - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md)
