A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.". A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
Rap is a meme that originated from Jamaican toasting and rebellious North American slave chants of the 19th century. It has since evolved, self-replicated, mutated, and responded to selective pressures into what we call "meme rap" today. .
