Girlfriend, you must be trippin' on me: No sister - nobody ain't not tripping on no one do not be no - it's just a picture of Salt 'n' Pepa outside their new chip shop.   By the byline: Joshua Fox’s flow is hotter than a bag full of M&Ms, and he’s a big fan of Bling Crosby.

Hip-hop chip shop is a hot tip for shit-hot chips.

The opening of a fly new fried fish and chip shop in London’s ghetto district of Beak Street, Soho has had fans of both gangsta rap and battered fish jumping up and then down again in excitement, yes it has. Through battered hoops.

Called “Friar Tuck? Yeah? Try-a-fuck, Motherfucker” the new deep-fat fryer’s proprietors are none other than erstwhile female fat rap queens Salt ‘n’ Pepa, with new girl on the block Vinega as a silent - but some would say essential - partner. The girls are also rumoured to be in talks with Las Ketchup.

Already the shop's newsrappa'd foodstuffs are proving a big hit with the headline and crotch-grabbing rap superstars of Soho. Among the shop’s top sellers are pickled eggs, mushy peas, muthapukka pies and the classic “One piece and chips” – a large portion of battered cod in the shape of a gun, served with bullet-shaped fries and a no show in court.

Public Enemy’s MC Flavour Flav goes there all the time and says the battered sausage is “bitch-ass lovely”, and he would probably know.

He added: “It’s a sure as shit, shit-hot tip-top hip-hop chip shop, and it’s as hot as a motherfucker. Which is why I’m wearing these flip-flops.”

The rhyme and story endeth here.
