Kanye West is no stranger to sharing his views and opinions and in Frank Ocean's latest zine entitled Boys Don't Cry, the artist shares a fast food rap about [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wcdonalds-1) meals. Dami Lee of The Verge brings to life the lyrics by adding [meme style drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/believe-campaign) that encompass the words in a satirical and hyperbolic way. The illustrations bring an added element of humor to the lines showcasing cartoon drawings of West and the food items showcased as comical characters.

The poem shares the tale of the "McDonald's Man" and the various dishes the fast food eatery serves and how they are in cahoots to start a band. Lee's drawings showcase such foods as burgers, boxes of fries, salads and milkshakes as characters with lyrics from the poem printed alongside.
