In 2024, rapper Yuno Miles released "Big Mac" — a mournful, deeply felt account of getting robbed for a McDonald's hamburger. Not shot. Not carjacked. The Big Mac. He had no fries. He had no drink. They took the sandwich anyway.
Delivered here as a late-night jazz ballad, with brushed snare, walking upright bass, and a muted trumpet that carries the grief like it knows exactly how that feels. The vocalist gives every line the full weight of a 3am confession. He is not joking. That is the joke.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was walking on the block with a Big Mac
Them niggas robbed me and took my Big Mac
They robbed me for my Big Mac
Robbed me for my Big Mac
I got robbed for my Big Mac
I ain't had no fries or no drink, they stole the Big Mac
They got me for my Big Mac
Robbed me for my Big Mac
[Pre-Chorus]
They robbed me for my Big Mac
No soft drink, just a Big Mac
[Chorus]
I didn't have no fries and I didn't have no drink
And they still robbed me for my Big Mac
I should've got the combo instead of the Big Mac
So I wouldn't have got robbed for the Big Mac
[Bridge]
I ain't even had no fries, I ain't even had a combo
They robbed me for that Big Mac
[Verse 2]
I was walking on the block with a Big Mac
And the bad guys shot me
That's because of the Big Mac
Next time I walk on the block with a Big Mac
I dare a nigga try to rob me for my Big Mac
They robbed me for my Big Mac
[Chorus]
The niggas robbed me for that Big Mac
Next time I know not to get the Big Mac with no fries
So I won't get robbed
