There is no sandwich in existence simultaneously more delicate, yet inexplicably durable, than a bacon, egg, and cheese. The trio can be held together with nearly any bread product: non-fruit bagel, white\/wheat\/pumpernickel slice, or an unassuming deli roll. True connoisseurs have it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Possible psychopaths eat the dry concoction without a smidge of ketchup. There\u2019s a wide range of variety, and each can yield a truly exquisite bacon, egg, and cheese.<\/p>\n

The \u201cUnder The Sun\u201d music video featuring J. Cole<\/a>, DaBaby<\/a>, and Lute<\/a> isn\u2019t all about my favorite sandwich, but it does \u2014 like all good things \u2014 briefly circle back to it. When the visual begins, the three rappers enter a bodega, as Cole confidently orders them all the aforementioned breakfast treat. DaBaby curiously sniffs his bacon, egg, and cheese, and Lute<\/a> shakes his head in disgust at the sandwich. Unsurprisingly, J. Cole seems like the only person enjoying his meal.<\/p>\n

At a cursory glance, though there are a few critical problems with the bodega\u2019s sandwich on a structural and flavor level! The roll looks bone dry and appears to have little to no fluffy lift, the eggs retained no moisture \u2014 they look like sheets of tasteless paper \u2014 and the low-quality bacon is probably tough and stripped of all umami. J. Cole\u2019s net worth is $35.5 million, according to Forbes<\/a><\/em>. Surely, he has enough money to pay an assistant to taste test the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches from the neighboring bodegas and return with one that has more integrity. Until then, watch the \u201cUnder The Sun\u201d video for the song, not for the culinary excursion.<\/p>\n
