We Are “Wowing” At The Latest Meme Of Drake

by

Drake and Chris Brown are two of the most successful hip hop artists, so when they produce a track together you know it’s going to be a bop. Their song collaboration “No Guidance” has already made its way to the Billboard Top 100, and fans were ecstatic for the release of the video, which came out Friday. However, it wasn’t the video itself that got all the attention, so much as this unimpressed frame of Drake during the “dance battle” scene.

A Throwback To Drake’s Degrassi Days

Although most people know him as the Grammy winning rapper, Drake first rose to stardom via his role on the Canadian hit series, Degrassi. However, we can’t help but think his acting skills have become a little rusty since his departure in 2009. However, his flat unimpressed face, waving raised hands, and the HILARIOUS “Ooo, wow”  he lets out really does a number for comically expressing how we feel in many life scenarios. So much, that it turned into a popular meme overnight…

The Unemployed Grad

Any recent graduate cane relate to this painfully accurate meme. The post-grad job hunt can seem like one of the most difficult processes in the world, and really makes you question the time and money put in to get that piece of paper…

What A Vision

As a glasses and lenses wearer since the ripe age of 7, I can fully admit how annoying it is when someone brags about their perfect vision. Wow, COOL man!

“Not Like The Other Guys”

Ah, the classic d-bag one liner. This is when all red flags go up, and lack of amusement is at an all time high. With so many guys claiming to be different, it’s no wonder Hot Girl Summer took off so quickly! (Men, take notes.)

Drake As Cheating Tristan Thompson

OOP! He went there! This tweet dives right into the ongoing Kardashian drama with Khloe’s perpetually cheating baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. Too soon?

The ONLY Response To Obnoxious Drivers

The only people in the world who think revving a loud car engine is cool, are the people revving said engine. You’re not impressing anyone, sorry not sorry.

“Hot Girl Summer” Is The Unapologetic Meme We Needed

by

With one of the worst heat waves in history due to global warming and a slew of political and social issues happening world wide, it’s reasonable to want summer 2019 to end ASAP. However, instead of getting down in the dumps about the heat, Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion came up with meme we NEEDED to get by this summer, “Hot Girl Summer.”

The Unapologetic Energy We Needed

While this seems like a pretty basic tweet, there’s a much deeper meaning that Megan shared with The Root. And yes, this catchphrase includes other genders too!

“It’s just basically about women — and men — just being unapologetically them, just having a good-a** time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody got to say about it.”

A Pop Culture Sensation

The theme of “Hot Girl Summer” took the pop culture world by storm. On Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, people have been posting their brightest and funkiest outfits, sharing their biggest accomplishments, snapping pics from their vacations or even from the comforts of their own homes. Some celebrities like Miley Cyrus have even joined in with this post of her dancing in her house, doing her thang shamelessly.

Even major brands got in on the fun with their own tweets referring to the self-uplifting catchphrase.

Others have been coining the phrase as a hilarious expectations versus reality meme. While all of us would love to look flawless and strut in confidence, the heat often just causes a sweaty result.

“Hot Girl Summer” Anthems

As a rapper, it only made sense that Megan decided her term was deserving of musical accompaniment. She created the “Hot Girl Summer” playlist on Spotify, which to date already has more than 124,000 followers. The playlist features songs by Megan Thee Stallion, along with other powerhouse hip hop and R&B artists, like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Future, and Cardi B. Additionally, Megan said she plans to release an anthem later this summer to make us all really feel the vibes.

A Trademark In The Works

“Hot Girl Summer” took off so quickly, with thousands of shares, likes, and hashtag posts, that Megan has actually decided to try and trademark the term. She filed on July 10 with the hopes of selling t-shirts, athletic apparel, and other merchandise with the term.

The best part about the phrase is that it focuses on living your best life and being comfortable in your own skin. So while negative things might be happening in our lives, it’s important to stand tall and be proud of ourselves this summer, no regrets!
