"'The Food'" is the first single by rapper Common released on his sixth album 'Be'. Kanye West appears on the song's chorus and also produces the track. West interpolates "Nothing Can Change This Love" by Sam Cooke for the song's beat. In addition, DJ Dummy scratches on the song and Dave Chappelle introduces the live version of it. The song was originally performed live on 'Chappelle's Show' on March 3, 2004. This live version is featured on 'Be', although a studio version does also exist.

It received mostly positive acclaim, but was not promoted heavily and did not chart. IGN.com writer Spence D. describes it as a "nice and mild burner that showcases the Chi-town duo's symmetry." Nathan Brackett of 'Rolling Stone' states that it is one of the "hardest-rocking tracks of Common's career."
