What is a rapper’s favorite kitchen appliance? The stove.  Hence, this playlist features 23 rap songs with lyrics that reference the stove.

1. Rick Ross, “Trap Trap Trap”

Ft. Wale & Young Thug

Rather You Than Me • Epic • 2017

“I was tryna bet the whole map
Out in Vegas, out the trap...
N*gga cookin’ oil base in the trap
Young n*gga slave in the trap
N*gga run base, base in the trap
I’m ‘bout to get this shit movin’, yeah
...Stand at the stove ‘til you’re woozy, woozy
...Call the Fed on me
...Draco got a lot of led on it, you dead.”

– Young Thug, verse two

2. 21 Savage, Offset & Metro Boomin, “Mad Stalkers”

Without Warning • Epic / Quality Control Music / Motown / Capitol / Republic • 2017

“Heated my flow with the marble (marble)
Stand on the stove, cook it all up (cook it up).”

– Offset, Verse one

---

3. Cardi B, “Bodak Yellow”

Bodak Yellow – Single • Atlantic • 2017

“I say I get the money and go, this shit is hot like a stove
My pu**y glitter as gold, tell that lil' bitch play her role.”

Cardi B doesn’t explicitly play into hustling with her stove reference.  That said, it’s not far-fetched given the association of selling drugs being an means for money for many rappers before ‘coming up.’

4. Travis Scott & Quavo, “Dubai Shit”

Ft. Offset

Huncho Jack, Jack Hucho • Quality Control Music / Cactus Jack / Motown / Grand Hustle / Capitol / Epic • 2017

“Whippin’ the pan on the stove
Whip it ‘til your hand grow mold.”

– Quavo (verse three)

The stove reference here is self-explanatory.  What’s more interesting is Quavo mentioning mold.  Mold in relation to cocaine could result in killer coke…

5. Jay-Z, “Smile”

Ft. Gloria Carter

4:44 • Roc Nation • 2017

“Oh, these that drugs, Heron [/heroin] flow, I spaz on the stove…”

– Jay-Z

There’s many reasons why 4:44 ranks among the best Jay-Z albums ever.  Just this isolated lyric contains a reference to Gil Scott Heron, Jay’s rap flow, and of course, hustling.  Jay-Z was a drug dealer for years prior to becoming the entrepreneur he is today.

6. 21 Savage, “Numb”

Issa Album • Epic • 2017

“Used to leave your stove runnin’, stove runnin’ 
Now it’s Louis rags when my nose runnin’...”

While Issa Album has plenty of flaws, the aforementioned lyric is pretty clever, if incredibly shallow. The point is, 21 Savage has come up.  Hopefully, he doesn’t have to wipe his nose with Louis rags for the wrong reasons.

7. Lil Pump, “Designer

Designer – Single • 2017

“Spanish bitches butt naked and they twerkin’ on the stove.”

#Gucci Gang.

GEMINI • Bendo • 2017

“So call up my momma and tell her to pick up the phone
‘Cause I need that homemade lasagna that’s fresh out the stove.”

– Macklemore, verse two

One of the few instances on this list that the rapper isn’t talking about cooking up drugs.

9. Machine Gun Kelly, “Go for Broke”

Ft. James Arthur

Bloom • Interscope • 2017

“And I remember being cold
In my apartment, used the heater from the kitchen stove...”

Another rare instance on this list that the rapper isn’t talking about cooking up drugs.

10. Danny Brown, “Lost”

Atrocity Exhibition • Warp • 2016

“So fuck waiting round
N*gga I’m about to get it
Dog I’m tryna eat
So I’m staying in the kitchen
Hunched over the stove
Gotta water water whip it
Lost in the sauce but a n*gga still stirring
Packing up them bags but a n*gga ain't tripping
Lost in the sauce but a n*gga still dipping
Lost on the sauce but a n*gga ain’t flipping
Cutting up the hard like the yard ain’t filling.”

Drugs all the way around…

JEFFERY • Atlantic • 2016

“Without the radio, it’s 20 a show and that’s fo’ sho’
Get that back-end, bitch, we buyin’ dope, that’s how it go
Black Amigos, bout the Freebandz
That 44., I could cook the dope with no stove
Pot on the floor.”

– Young Scooter, verse two

Fetty Wap • 300 • 2015

“Married to the money, introduced her to my stove
Showed her how to whip it, now she remixin’ for low
She my trap queen, let her hit the bando.”

His girl (aka his “trap queen”) is helping him to cook up the dope he’s going to hustle.

15. Fetty Wap, “Jugg”

Ft. Monty

Fetty Wap • 300 • 2015

“I come from the hood, baby
Loyalty’s in my blood, baby
I used to sell them drugs, baby
Shouts to my plug, baby
My whip’s on dubs, baby
I wish a n*gga would baby
Rollin’ up them Woods, baby
I get it on the stove, baby.”

– Monty, verse two

16. Future, “Where Ya At”

Ft. Drake

DS2 • Epic • 2015

“12 tryin’ come in the spot to open up the dope
Burglar bar doors got a young n*gga confident
Juugin’ out the stove and we still bangin’, honest
Blowing on the O, yo, we call that ho an onion.”

17. Rick Ross, “The Devil is a Lie”

Ft. Jay-Z

Mastermind • Def Jam • 2014

“White Jesus in my crock pot
I mix the shit with some soda
Now I'm black Jesus turn water to wine
And all I had to do was turn the stove up
Beast Coast, winnin’ at life, n*gga, cheat code.”

– Jay-Z, Verse 3

Again, Jay-Z was a drug dealer for years before his bars started making him money.

B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME • Def Jam • 2013

“My wrist deserve a shout-out, I’m like, ‘What up, wrist?’
My stove deserve a shout-out, I’m like, ‘What up, stove?’”

19. Drake, “Come Thru”

Nothing Was the Same • Cash Money • 2013

“Yeah, they know I got the hook-up, they just wait on me to cook up
Baby, I heat up the stove, you do the dishes, ya know?
Rap game, crack game, ain’t that different, ya know?”

---

20. Pusha T, “Nosetalgia”

Ft. Kendrick Lamar

My Name is My Name • Def Jam • 2013

“Twenty-plus years of selling Johnson & Johnson
I started out as a baby-faced monster
No wonder there's diaper rash on my conscience
My teething ring was numbed by the nonsense
Gem Star razor and a dinner plate
Arm & Hammer and a Mason jar, that's my dinner date
Then crack the window in the kitchen, let it ventilate
‘Cause I let it sizzle on the stove like a minute steak
N*gga, I was crack in the school zone
Two beepers on me, Starter jacket that was two-toned.”

– Pusha T

Pusha T raps about drug dealing, a lot. The stove has been kind to him…

Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head • Atlantic • 2012

“It's time to getting bricks out of that bag
Put that scale back on the desk
Set that vision wear on the stove
Next to that bakin' soda & pyrex
Drop that water out off that pot
Let it boil up and get high
Then whip it good with your wrist like that
That’s how you triple every brick you get.”

---

22. Chief Keef, “Diamonds”

Ft. French Montana

Finally Rich • Interscope • 2012

“Them people calling, right back to balling
You got a bad batch to much bakin' on it
Right back on the stove, right back to them shows
Right back to my bitches, your advance is my clothes
I'm whipping it, I triple it
Shorty pop a molly then she wiggle it
Putting orders, You telling stories
Casino life hard rock n*gga put in all this.”

– French Montana, verse two

My name shall be passed down to generations...
Young slung, hung here, showed that a n*gga from here
With a little ambition, just what we can become here...”
