“Hoe Cakes“ is the second track off MM...FOOD and makes use of some pretty sick beatboxing throughout. “Hoe Cakes” (spelled “hoecakes”) is an African-American food from the 19th century. Blacks prepared a pancake-like food on field hoes. Ingredients were simple: cornmeal, water, and salt. The song talks in detail about the act of pimping women (or “hoes”) out for prostitution and the way that the girls MF DOOM pimp out do what he asks them as a result of their attachment and affection for him.
