Information on the rapper
The Burger King is a king character used as the primary mascot for the fast-food restaurant chain Burger King. The first iteration of the Burger King was part of a sign at the first Burger King restaurant in Miami, Florida, on December 4th, 1954.
During the late 1960s to early 1970s, the Burger King was introduced as a small and animated king character in its children's advertising voiced by Allen Swift and known as Kurger Bing. In 1976, Kurger Bing was replaced by the "Marvelous Magical Burger King" which was a red-bearded and Tudor-era king played by Dick Gjonola, who ruled the Burger King Kingdom and performed magic tricks that were mostly sleight-of-hand but sometimes relied on camera tricks.
After the advertising firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky took over advertising of Burger King in 2003, they began using a new caricatured iteration of the character simply called "the King." He appeared in commercials for Burger King starting in 2004. In this incarnation, the King is an unnamed actor who wears an oversized grinning mask that resembles the 1970s version of the Burger King. The ads generated significant word of mouth for its new use of what various trade publications and Internet articles labeled "the Creepy King" persona. Although this version of the King was initially pulled from advertising in 2011, he has since returned, albeit not as significantly.
Lyrics
Ronald McDonald vs The Burger King (FitPHHCoN):
Verse 1:
Welcome to BK! How can I serve you today?
One flame-broiled ass-clown? Have it your way!
You can't do fast food half as good as I do!
Your pink slime meat turns my asshole to a drive-thru!
Your friends are a combo meal of weird lookers!
You got a bird, a burglar, and a big purple booger!
(Man!) Take these wack McRaps off the menu!
I'll call you Ronald Donald 'cause there's no MC in you!
Verse 2:
(Okay, okay, alright, alright.)
You're number one like the piss I took in your ball pit!
Them rhymes you just spit are a Ray Kroc of shit!
You creepy-ass clown; you're so spooky, it's insane!
You look like you just ate someone's brother in a storm drain!
You can't beat the king with leaders like these!
The whole head of your government's name is Mayor McCheese!
I ain't lovin' shit, even if Timberlake sings!
I'm running circles 'round you like my onion rings!
Ronald McDonald vs The Burger King (ERB):
Verse 1:
Welcome to BK! How can I serve you today?
One flame-broiled ass-clown? Have it your way!
You can't do fast food half as good as I do!
Your pink slime meat turns my asshole to a drive-thru!
You're played out like a Chuck E. Cheese token!
Your style's like your ice cream machines: broken! (Ha!)
I'm dropping Whoppers that'll knock you off the menu!
Call you Ronald Donald 'cause there's no MC in you!
Verse 2:
(Alright.)
You're number one like the whiz I took in your ball pit!
Them rhymes you just spit are a Ray Kroc of shit!
You spooky-ass clown; you're so creepy, it's insane!
You look like you just ate someone's brother in a storm drain!
You can't beat the King with your crew, please!
The whole head of your government's name is Mayor McCheese!
I ain't lovin' shit, even if Timberlake sings!
I'm running circles 'round you like my onion rings!
