Breaking Bread: A Hip Hop Thanksgiving Potluck - Everyone knows the best part of Thanksgiving: the food! Turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese — in other words, our favorite foods, and huge portions of them, at the same time. But while most folks spend Thanksgiving with family and loved ones, BET.com has other plans. This year, we're inviting over our favorite rappers for a little potluck. Each will bring their own signature dish, and with a bit of planning, we'll have a serious feast. Read on to check out the menu. Bon appetite! —Alex Gale (Photos from left: John Shearer/Getty Images, Andrew Marks/PictureGroup, Jeff Daly/PictureGroup)

Rick Ross - It's always nice to start a feast with some soup, and we know just the man for the job. "Am I really just a narcissist / 'Cause I wake up to a bowl of lobster bisque?" Rick Ross asked on this year's "I Love My B---hes." Leave it to the Bawse to class things up. (Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images for BET)

Odd Future - Odd Future is bringing their favorite finger food, as revealed in their 2010 fan favorite "Sandwiches." It's definitely a weird second course, but you can't expect much when you invite a group of rowdy skaters fresh out of their teens. Also, Tyler the Creator has assured us that cockroach paninis will not be on the menu. (Photo: Scott Gries/PictureGroup)

Fabolous and Lil Wayne - It's time to move on to some heartier fare. (Sorry y'all — salads are so not gangsta!) Lil Wayne and Fabolous are teaming up to bring us some interesting sounding dishes. "My lil' man is on ya, Marlon and Shawn ya, lay the beef on his noodle, make some luger lasagna. 40-cal fettuccine, trey-pound pasta, you reach for this medallion, you must like Italian," Loso rapped on Weezy's 2008 banger "You Ain't Got Nuthin'." We love Italian, Fab! Though some of these dishes sound like they'd be hard to digest. (Photos from left: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Clear Channel, Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images for Bagatelle)

Ghostface Killah - Luckily, good ol' Tony Starks is bringing a more traditional Italian dish, and he's bringing a classic Snapple flavor to wash it down. "Ayo, this rap is like Ziti, facing me, real TV, crash at high speeds, strawberry kiwi," he raps on his 2000 banger "Apollo Kids." Yes, our meal is off to a starchy start, but this is the rap game, kids — you gotta keep your weight up. (Photo: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images)
