Brilliant Triple entendre of sorts.
This first idea is that Vast Air is playing with a dog throwing food at its mouth to see if it catches it in mid-air.
Alternatively he wants to see if other rappers are going to bite (read steal) his punchlines when they catch how clever they are.

The Bourgeosie who profit by ripping us off (aristocrat grifters).
